| Salem Statesman: Governor Pennoyer and
| State Treasurer Metchan left Tuesday for
Eastern Oregon where they will look over
several additional proposed sites for the To-

! Eastern Oregon. They received telegram
| from Baker City informing them that the
weather there was all that could be desired
The sky was clear and the rain had ceased.
This was what the state officers had been
waiting for since they first started out to
locate the new asylum. 1t is unlikely, how
ever, that they will go farther than The
Dalles this week. Their purpose Is to make
another visit to Baker CITY and that sec

very soon after their return the branch asy-

other living man, can take rail thirty
feet long and weighing sixty pounds TO
