THE NEW MODEL JAIL
building and quarters Of the jailer,
Deputy Sheriff Croner, Is a source of
local pride to Eugene. Itis modern
brick building, as ornamental and styl-
ish as any cottage, cost $4,000, has a
cell for women or insane persons sepa-
rate from the cages for male criminals.
1t is heated by steam and each cell is
roof ventilated. There ,is a bath tut
for prisoners. The rules require perfect
cleanliness of person and habits. Eact
prisoner must bathe once day an(
''cook" his clothes and bedding once
week. A man was irrigating the jai
grounds with o hose. We remarke,
"you are raising nice crop Of oats il
this yard" The man smiled and said
"yes; Crorer will yet big crop G

painstaking public official will be mad

on the adjoining lot. There is grea

have been far more sensible than to ha,
all these things under one roof wit
