The city Jail was remarkable for its lack
Of occupants this morning, and this is con-
clu i've evidence that quiet night was
passed; for the police force thoroughly
patrols the city, and gather the aimless

is only occupied occasionally it is much
better for the peace and quiet and the
purse of tax payers than if it were full of
ev,l.doers every day

ON pensions, and it is doubtful when it will |
be passed upon again.

A Salem dispatch says: From talks with
members of the Legislature, 1t is learned an
effort will be made at the coming session to
establish jute factory at the state prison
for the manufacture of grain sacks for the
farmers OF Oregon. This, it is said, would
save them thousands of dollars annually, |
and the feeling seems to be that no trouble
will be bad in passing the law. 1t won
r, quire an appropriation of about $75 600
10 put factory under way.

out OF SIS, 900 by purchasing salted god
mine. rne quartz was brought from the
Cnur d'Alene, placed in the mlne and paid
veil, but after it was worked up the mine

could not tell the difference between ore |
from the mine and quartz that came from
another locality, but maybe the expert was |
