A Diferent aspect.

The sherlff's office has been re-
modelled under the direction of Deputy
Sheriff Kelly, so that hereafter it will be
pleasure for the public to transact
business in that Office. The taxpayer,
on approaching the receiving teller of
that institution with his sack, will be
greeted with an affable smile from across
a counter. The receipt will be written
facing him, and not as of yore taken to
a desk in corner and made out in OBJ
scurlty, the officials back to the county's
patron, leaving the latter to conjecture
as to what is being done. Pens and ink
are handy for use, and a sloping desk
mutely invites the visitor to use it. The
light falls just right, from behind, and
on to the documents in use. The long
desk is supplied on the inner side with
drawers for books, pigeon holes for files,
and a cash drawer, dispensing with a
trip to the heavy safe every time cash
transaction Is made. The grimy walls
are covered with wall paper of neat de-
sign, and altogether the Office presents a
very attractive appearance. The wonder
is, these convenient changes have not
been made years ago.

United Artisans.

Those who attended the entertain
ment of the United Artisans last even
ing were delighted with the excellence
of the musical program given. Espe-
cially worthy of mention was the
euphonium solo of Mr.. j. G. Miller,
whose triple tonguing was unusually
fine, and the vocal solo Of Mr.. j. A. Per-
kins, who was enthusiastically encored.
The Artisans have feature different
than other secret societies, which will
undoubtedly make them very popular.
That is that ladies are admitted and
have the same rights and privileges as
the gentlemen. Following is the pro-
gram as given last evening:

poor unfortunates are crowded together
almost like sheep. This condition makes
it well nigh impossible for those who are
insane primarily from nervous disorders
to ever get well. Two or more are
placed in single small room, even in
the more violent wards, and there is
constant danger of one patient abusing
another. Another difficulty is that in
the present over crowded condition of
the asylum every available cell must be
utilized. Hence if it happens that a
peaceful ward is more crowded than a
violent one, the peaceful inmate, per-
haps convalescent, is thrust amid the
noise and turbulence of the violent
ward, and it does not take great length
of time to render the patient as bad as
the rest. 1t is altogether probable that
no asylum in the United States is as
crowded as the one at Salem, and there
is urgent demand for the construction at
once of the Eastern Oregon branch asy-
lum. The latest dispatch from Salem
shows that the same circumIocution
which has been going on for two years
is yet in effect. Following is the dis
patch from Salem:
'Since the last decision of the supreme
court, reversing the judgment of the
lower court IN restraining the state board
of commissioners from locating branch
asylum in Eastern Oregon, there has
been more or less talk as to why the
constitutional question has not been
passed upon. Though many prefer that
the board should proceed with the build
ing, others are determined to have the
court commit itself more definitely on
the power of the legislature to locate
the institution away from the seat of
government. The latter have not vet
evolved definite plan, but the state
ment is warranted that rehearing will
be asked or a new suit begun
