BY ORDER OF Com.

A Salem dispatch to the Portland
Tribune says: A prisoner recently
brought to the penitcHH:.:ary was
Andrew Carlson, who committed
the crime of burglary at Newport
last November and was last week
convicted at Toledo Lincoln county,
for the ofense and sentenced by
Judge ]. c. Fullerton to serve one
year. This is Carlson's third term
in the penitentiary for similar Of
fenses. On the goth of August,
1884, when Carlson was but 90
years old, he was committed from
Clatsop county for three years;
again on January IS. 1898, he was
sent from Multnomah county for
three years, being discharged last
September through the operation of
the ordinary credit marks, so he
made very good time in getting back
to his old quarters.
But a great many think that his
present sentence is a mockery of JUS
tice. Here is man 80 years old,
so welded to crime that he is al
ready on his third term and for one
of the very worst classes of crimes
-house-breaking. Yet, with such
an incorrigible record he gets only
one year. Superintendent Gilbert,
of the penitentiary, thinks such a
sentence is farce, either in the
line of punishment or as a protec-
ton to the public. He thinks il
courts will not display greater re-
gard for consistent support of the
law in spirit, there ought to be a
: law enacted that would be peremp.
tory in its prescription of sentences
He thinks man, upon first convic.
ton of such crime, should be sen.
fenced to two years; upon a second
conviction should receive five years
} and upon a third conviction he
ought to be sent up for life, as he
has then proven himself incorrig,
| ible, detriment and a menace tc

bility of further damage.

There are no flies on the republic
ans of Portland. At the state league
meeting in that City Tuesday
Multnomah county had nearly one
thousand out of two thousand dele
gates present. The delegates from
Multnomah county alone represen-
ted 1900 republican voters. The
total vote of Multnomah county for
president last election was 1896,
and of these Bryan received 6,453
and Mckinley 1903. Thus it will
be seen that the republican clubs of
Multnomah county have over 5000
more members than there are repub-
licans in that county. No wonder
it was possible to pass gold stand
ard anti-Mitchell resolution, with a
convention packed like that.

A notice is posted in the postof-

carrying the mails from Toledo to
Siletz, the original contractor desir-

route, which calls for six trips per
week, was bid off at only $3IS per

worth $3.50 per year to carry the

Americas Farmers Draw Fr0a Fer
Gigs Countries.

Washington, June l3.-The farmers Of
the country are drawing upon other parts
of the world for more money in the fiscal
year which ends with this month than in
any preceding year in the history Of the
country. Even the high water mark Of
1892, when our exports Of agricultural
products amounted 10 $79e, S2s, SS2, viii
be surpassed by the record Of the year
which closes with this month. The pre-
liHinary reports Of May expectations
which have reached the bureau Of sta
tistics make it quite apparent that the
agricultural exports of the year will b.
considerably in excess Of $500 600 600, the
total for the year being likely to reach
$S35. 000! 600. Never before have the ex-
ports of agricultural products reached the
$500. 10000 line and never but twice
have they been as much a. 500. 90. 900,
the two occasions being in 1881 and 1892.
Compared with the last fiscal year the
increase in exports Of agricultural pro-
duets win be fully sl50.OO0, 900, and CON-
pared with the preceding year the In
crease will be over $4,000, 600, while
the total viii be fully SO per cent in ex-
cess Of that Of the fiscal year Of 1895.

Nelson, for alleged intimacy with the lat.

thing that medicine could do was done
for the wounded man, but an autopsy
shows that the cause was hopeless from
the start. The ball in the chest tore away

his leg was shattered in such a way elose
to the body that that alone would have
been serious, IL is thought that there
