HoIsrED BY HIS Own PETARD-
P. b. johnson claims that he drew uI
the act Oor Senator Richards) under
which the Governor raised him out OF
his comfortable stall at the public cribs.
The fact is, johnson had held office
so long that he began to believe that
it was one of his inherent rights, and
that rules and regulations provided by
law are for those other fellows who do
not understand the combination.

the theft, the clerk at the office re.

way o! dodsing responsibility, and it
seems that aside from 210,966 sacks
which Director" johnson approved
the 100000 sacks in store at begin.
ing OF the season and the output OF
4,ooo per lay, was placed solely in
charge OF subordinate without ade-
quate instructions that would have
guarded one OF the primary objects OF
the law.
Shortly afterwards, in August, D." Di-
rector" Johnson declares he went To
bingham Warm Springs by direction
OF his physician where he remained
several weeks, and from that hour to
the time OF his removal he had MOTH
ing to do with the disposal of grain

state, however, whether the time
event on" as it did when he held the
multiplicity of Offices last winter, but
he does emphatically declare that his
duty as dispenser OF jute fabrics was
not exercised while on his iaunt for
his health.
1t does not seem that Director"
johnson las helped his cause by this
explanation. The directors were the
especial instruments by which the law
was to be made effective. They were
clothed with ample power to make it
effective. 1t was the practice for all
applicants to go to Director" John
son for the products of convict labor,
until he transferred those duties to a
subordinate, by and with the co-opera-
ton OF the remainder of the board.
The acts of the warden thus became
the acts of the directors, and as Nj.
johnson was the only one. of the three
who, it seems, had exercised any au
thority in the matter, it necessarily
follows that the responsibility rests
upon him.
And this is the logical conclusion
from his own showing.

Mr.. Garfield has established a ma.

Woodham & Sprague will use the

The electric light plant will be
moved out of Centialia on Wednesday.
This will bring US back to the old
days of kerosene oil. How long this
deplorable state of affairs will last is
uncertain. We confidently hope for
better things in the near future.
After the past heavy rains and high
winds, the weather to-day has been
delightful. There is very much grain
out in this part of the country, which,
no doubt, will be seriously damaged
but the fruit crop was never better,
and potatoes, contrary to expectations,
are turning out well.

At least it is fair to suppose that he
would not have done so, notwithstand-

In any event Alfred proposed.
Naturally the girl said no" because it
