STATE OWNERSHIP
The Binder Irvine Factory Owned BY
the State Of Kansas

In a communication to the LEDGE
a few weeks since William Vivian, a
prominent farmer Of this county,
called our attention to the fact that
the state Of Kansas was running a
binding Irvine factory most success
fully. During the last week or ten
days we have had several inquiries in
reference TO this matter and after a
correspondence with the Governor of
Kansas, we are in possession Of the
facts. The binding Irvine factory Of
Kansas is operated in the penitentiary
with prison labor and is somewhat Of
a success, as far as we can lean, in
that Irvine is sold cheaper. OF course,
the fact that prison labor is used,
would make the product very much
cheaper. The following facts taken
from the Governors Official report
will be Of interest to all of our readers
and shows that the enterprise is still
somewhat Of an experiment;
The last legislature provided for
the erection of a Irvine plant, making
an appropriation Of $40, 900 therefor.
The following table gives a condensed
statement Of the transactions in this
department during the year, and
vouchers viii be found on file with the
auditor Of state. Statement Of mon
eys paid out and received on account
of the manufacture Of Irvine during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1909.

made knight of st. Gregory by author
ity of n special letter from the Pope

before the chnncel railing of st. Ma.
ry's church, pinned the insignia of the
order upon his breast The presentn.
tion was made by Rev. Father Gen
dreau, who secured this signal honor
for the Klondike gold miner after long
correspondence with Rome, in the
course of which he pointed out Mr..
McDonald's generous benefactions to
the church at Dawson. The ceremony
of presentation was the most largely
attended of any service ever held in
the Klondike.
Mr.. Mcdonald is the richest miner in
the Klondike. His wealth is estimat-
ed at S5,OOO.OOO. and he is commonly
known as the liking of the Klondike.'
Prior to six years ago he was n worker
in the mines of Aspen. Then he left
Colorado TO seek his fortune in the far
North. He was working at the Tread
well mine in Alaska when the first
Klondike excitement broke out and
was amcng the first to locate claims
on Eldorndo and Bonanza creeks. AZ.
ter striking 1t rich he founded the
Dawson hospital during the winter of
1898, and also gave $4,000 in gold
dust and nuggets toward building st.

been previously conferred upon only
two other Canadians. former Prime
Minister MERCER and former Governor

WILLIAM O'BRIEN.

which he spared neither King Edward
nor the dignitaries of the Catholic
church, created worldwide sensa-
tion and brought conspicuously be-
fore the public a man who has been
patriotic, and who has
endured much for his political princi-
pies. AS journalist and parliamenta-
rian he has achieved splendid repu-
tation for ability and independence
and even those who have disagreed
with him and have deprecated the
means he has at times employed in
behalf of his native land could not hut
admire his pluck and genius.
William O'Brien is about so years
of age. He began his career as a re-
porter of the Cork Daily Herald in
1869, and filled this position for six
years. Then he became an editorial
writer for the Freeman's Journal later
founded the United Ireland and more
recently established the Irish People
His achievements in journalism were
responsible for his election to pariia-
ment in 1888 as representative oi
Cork, and for twelve years he was one
of the leaders OF the Irish party in the
house of commons. In 1895 he retired
owing to dissensions in the party, bu
last year returned to parliament

crowd. which would probably have
hastened the lynching along. Instead
of threatening the mob. however, he
let 1t be understood that he recog-
niZed his disadvantage. merely re-
marking that while he could not fight
n mob he would take occasion to kill
the first man who broke in. The mob
as n mass was courageous enough to
do anything. but as collection of in
dividuals it was bafiled. However
many of its members might have been
willing to be the second man into the
Jail, natural reluctance to be the
first made them powerless. The first
man failing to make known his pres
ence, the other 1899 concluded that
a lynching would not be worth while.

HIS CAR FARE CANE.
Senator Jones is Never without n Nickel
OF Recent Years.

Probably the most extraordinary
cane in this country is one of gOodly
proportions carried by Senator Jones,
the Nevada millionaire. and the reason
he clings to it as tenaciously as he
does is quite unique.
Many years ago Senator Jones, then
president of IL bank in San Francisco,
started to ride home on II street car.
When the conductor came around for
the fare Mr.. Jones discovered that he
was without n cent. He got OF and
walked back to the bank. where he Sc
cured handful of change. Il wish l
had Il walking stick that would hold
100 nickels." he said. ''and then Il thing
like this would not occur"
This remark WAS repeated in the pres
ence of Judge Goodwin of Salt Lake
city. who started n subscription to pur-
chase the nickel-holding cane. A very
handsome walking stick of ebony,
with heavy gold head. was procured,
and the inside was followed out and
100 nickels placed therein. The cane
was later sent to Washington, where
Mr.. Jones happened to he staying. ana
he carries it with him to this day.

HeIIadorberium RediOiuus.

Sir Harry Johnston has discovered in
the Semliki forests a mammal which.
in its living form. is entirely new to
science, says the London Times. 1t
is the size of an OK, and is distinctly
related to the giraffe. This remarkable
creature, in fact, appears, so far as
cursory examination of its skin and
skull may guide us, to be a living rep
resentative of the Helladotherium,
creature found in the fossil state in
Greece and Asia Minor and supposed
to be extinct The Helladotherium
was thought to be a relation of the
giraffe, smaller in size. with shorter
neck. and without any marked devel-
opment of those horn cores which in
the giraffe represent the pedicles from
which. far back in the history of the
genus. kind of antler formerly
sprang.
Sir Harry Johnston has at last Sc
cured. through the kindness of the
Belgian authorities at the frontier post
of Fort Mbeni, complete skin and
two skulls of this animal. which is
now shown to be not at all horse,
but a clovenhoofed ruminant of ex-
traordinary coloration and appearance
which seemingly is either of the ex-
tinct genus Helladotherium, or is some
closely allied creature belonging to
that somewhat vaguely defined group
o! which the giraffe is an exemplar.

HOPS FOR

MARKET
Shipped in the Pool Formed
by burst and the State
Association.

Frank Feller, Of Butteville, who will
represent the Oregon HopErowers' Asso-
citation, is in the city today on business.
Re. .,ard ng the work Of the association
Salem special to the oregonian says;
The last Of the 40 carloads OF hops
comprising the pool formed under a
contract witch w. II. Dur thave been
shipped to London. Francis Feller, who
was selected by the growers to go to
London and represent their interests in
the disposition Of the hops, will leave
Oregon early next month, and the
length OF his stay will depend largely
upon the time it takes 10 dispose OF the
hops. 1t lie not expected that there will
be any delay.
Occasional sales Of hops are being
made here at ruling prices. AT no time
during the season have the growers been
over anxious to sell, and with the possible
exception OF one or two short sellers the
buyers have not made strenuous efforts
to get hops. Orders from the East have
always been below what the growers
believed they ought TO receive, and the
fact that growers had confidence in the
market had the effect Of preventing a
stampede to SELL which would have
resulted in lower prices than have pre-
vailed.
