good. The meeting reflected cred
it on the organization.

Labor and Capital" opened the
program, and was followed after a
short discussion by a vocal solo by
one of the members. Then class

Among the recent arrivals here
is a large pelican which for the fu-
ture will make his home in the
park. What the bird did to get
here or how long he's got, are not
known; but he evidently does not
dislike his new home. He and
Sinbad have already become ship
mates and frequently get together
to swap yarns. The leveling in
fuence of the sea is such that the
two look strangely alike.

Figures Of tho The Pioneer Press

lowing interview with Gov. S. r.
Van SAINT regarding the prison
Irvine factory, upon his return to
st. Paul last Thursday:
1.-THE industry has grown from a
product Of $3.50, 600 the first year
to 100000 for the season just
closed. This will soon be increased
to ST, 100000. Next year it is pro-
posed to manufacture 100000
pounds of Irvine, and eventually, if
demands warrant it, to increase
this amount to 100000. This
can be done, and all the machin-
cry purchased without an appro-
priation from the legislature.
'This year there has been man.
ufactured 100000 pounds, and
every pound has been sold to farm
ers. The twine is of the best
quality and has been sold 2 cents
lower than the lowest price offered
by manufacturers. This is an act
ual saving Of 4 cents a pound, OF
$280,O0O, to the farmers who bought
Irvine. Moreover, there has been
a profit to the state of $51 ,959.17,
and this. too, after an allowance
of $25, 246.85, is made for the labor
of the convicts. Besides there is
charged annually for wear and tear
to machinery about 6 per cent of
it's original cost, SO that now the
plant, which cost 100000, is val
ued at s44, 911.O9. The profit on
the plant to date makes the remark
able showing of $419,384.82.

Minnesota Farm Minnesota farm
ers In Glover. ers live as we'll
if not better than any other class
of men in America. They work
hard, but live comfortably and
have more to show for their labor
than most men. So says Assistant
Deputy Warden Colligan, who
spent his vacation in southern
Minnesota visiting friends.
''The southern part of this state
is the garden spot of the North
west" said Mr.. Colligan. II never
met a more prosperous lot of peo-
pie than the farmers of that local.
ity. They live we'll in fine houses
amid many of the luxuries former
ly found only in the cities; their
farms are well kept up and the
buildings are in good repair; their
stock is free from disease; their
crops are usually good, and they
themselves appear to be free from
care.
During my absence I drove
some five miles into the country
with friend of mine who is a
physician, and upon arriving at
the house of one of his patients
he found it necessary to get some
thing from town. I was much
surprised when he stepped into an
adjoining room and called up the
city over a telephone. I did not
know before that most of the farm
houses in thatlocality are equipped
with telephones.
"The farm is no longer isolated.
What with the rural delivery and
a very complete telephone sys-
tenn, the country people are in
touch with each other and with
the centers Of trade. They sub
scribe for daily papers and their
mail is gathered and delivered
daily. In fact, their home life is
about what it would be in town
with the difference that the SUR
roundings are more agreeable"

Fourth at Colestin.

The good people of Colestin GER
tainly did not forget to celebrate the
glorious 4th of July and show forth
the patriotism and love of country as
only true born Americans can.
Campers and hotel guests were
awakened from their morning slam,
bers by the booming of cannon which
echoed among the hills and mount
aims warning the inhabitants thereof
that another National birthday had
dawned; that peace and liberty were
still ours, and the grand old stars and
stripes We're yet waving over the
"homes of the brave and the land of
the free. +"
Amid the cracking of fire crackers
and the clapping of hands, Hon. II.
@. Telford, mayor of Colestin, de-
livered the oration, which, owing to
the fact that our short hand reporter,
Miss Ross, was assisting the Chinaman
in the kitchen, could not be pub
lished in full as we desired.
Miss Poppy of San Francisco did
honor as Goddess of librety and is
thinking very seriously of applying
for the same position at Grants Pass
next 4th.
The old maids race was one of the
interesting amusement Of the day, so
exciting indeed the eagle could not
refrain from one long scream and
tapped his wings with delight.
The horribles were to horrible to
mention the beautiful variegated
roosters stuck here and there about
their head gear was the only thing
about them that looked natural
Everybody was drinking at Colestin
ON the 4th, even the chief of police,
Mr.. Roper, drank hard all day, but,
as it was only that grand soda water
fresh from the spring. he was able to
go home next dav.
Mr.. Telford confdentially told the
writer there was only one thing that
worried him. that Mrs Eberle and
Mrs. Jewell had developed such awful
appetites that the food supply would
soon be exhausted in Ashland
Quite number Of camps have al.
ready been installed on the camp
ground, and man more are expected
next week
Among the Grants Pass people who
are there, are Misses Hattie and
Emma Telford, Mrs l.. l.. Jewell,
Mrs r. NJ Eberle and two little
daughters, Miss Clara Knutsen, Lloyd
Harvey, Mrs. j. I. Taylor, Mrs W..
A Taylor and daughter, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith.
Surely Colestin is a very pleasant
place to spend few weeks during
the heat of the summer. being on the
railroad, is easy of access, and over
300 feet high, in the heart Of the
Siskiyous, is about 10 degrees cooler
than in the valley, and the delightful
mineral and soda springs cannot be
excelled anywhere. 4.

looking mp some lodges bearing rich
rock which he discovered while placer
mining here many years ago.

A letter was received here this week
by j, @. Turnidge from his daughter,
who is at Davis Greek, Modoc county.
California, dated June ~, in which
she says that man stopped at John
Brile's place and related a story that
he had killed two men tout close to
Ashland" and that it weighed SC
heavily on his mind that no felt he
must speak OF it and had been driven
nearly crazy over his act. At the
moment. the Briles family could
hardly realize the force of the man Is
tale and he went his way Shortly
afterwards the sheriff was apprised
and Miss Turnidge says in her letter
that "tho sheriff, Oliver Biles and
Frank Turnidge are now out in pur-
suit of the man and expect to catch
him" 1t will be recalled that two
men, Charles Mccartney and II. W.
Iddings have disappeared near Ash
land lately. the body of Ididngs hav.
ing been found, and that there are
circumstances indicating that there
may have been murder in both cases.
