A s25Oo HIGHWAY.

Governor Chamberlain is to be
commended on his determination tC
employ the s25OO appropriated by the
legislature in building one road with
convict labor.
The road from Salem to the reform
school is being graded up in a scien
tific manner, and will be given a
coating of broken rock.
So far as scientific construction
goes the governor is not stopping at
any expense. The grade is being built
as good as any railroad.
The metalling Of the road is an i'm.
portant matter. Suitable broken rock
will be found in the hills near the re-
form school
The finer courses of broken rock
will be produced with convict labor
and the county rock crusher.
The Marion county commissioners
court are heartily cooperating with
the governor, and, under the law, are
required to lend the aid of county ma
chinery to build this road.
THE GOVERNOR BELIEVES
THAT FiRsT-cLAss ROADS CAN
BE BUILT WITH CONVICT LABOR,
AND THAT 1T is NOT ONLY PRAc.
.TIcAL, BUT A JUST WAY TO EN-.
PLOY THE CONVlcTs.
He proposes that there shall be one
piece Of road built that way that
shall be an object lesson to the tax.
payers, and to the lawmakers at the
came time.
The governor has the hearty coop
Grafton of Supt. James, of the state
prison, in this undertaking. Supt.
James believes in good roads built
by convicts.
The construction of a $25OO piece of
highway in this county, under the law
authorizing the employment of con-
vict labor means a great deal to the
whole state in the cause of road re.
form.

LEFT SCHOOL.
Two Athlets Resign From AsrieuI-
tural Ccllege-one Goes Back.

Albany, Or, May GA few days
ago Forrest Smithson and A. B.
Coates the o. A. C. athletes, left
that college on account of some mis-.
understanding. Early yesterday
morning Mr.. Smithson returned to
Corvallis, and it was reported that he
had been kidnapped by some of the
o. A. c. boys who came after him.
This, however is denied and it is
said that he voluntarily returned to
the school and will remain with the
institution for the present. The loss
of these two athletes would be a
serious handicap to the Corvallis col
lege in the coming athletic contests.
Yesterday afternoon several young
men from here went to Corvallis TO
escort Mr.. Smithson back to Albany
believing that he had been taken
against his will. but returned without
him, as he was reported to have de-
cided to remain at the college.

The Home for Orphaned Children at
Council Bluffs, Iowa, Started
81 Years Ago.

Twenty-one years ago Rev. J.. G.
Lemen. pastor of a large church at
Council Bluffs, Ia, took into his home
three orphaned children in need of
such a refuge. Learning of other
homeless little ones he soon filled is
house with them, until his own re-
sources were exhausted, and he saw
the, necessity for larger quarters, which
he secured. Out of this benevolent
movement has grown a well-estab-
lished and well-appointed permanent
home for needy orphaned little ones,
and it is stated about 2I5 such children
are now being cared for in the 25 cottages
and other buildings belonging to the
organization founded by Mr.. Lemen.
The Home is non-sectarian and is in
dorsed and supported by ell denomina-
tons. Children are frequently adopt
ed by families whose good character
has been vouched for. A valuable lit

which is rs cents per year, is pub

to such an extent that he could not walk

him no good and two or three people said
his days were short, even the doctors, two
of the best in the country told me he would
not get better. l stopped their medicine
and at once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills.
I gave him three Pills a day, one morning,
noon and night for eight days; at the end
of the eighth day the swelling was all gone,
but to give the medicine justice, l gave ham
eleven more Pills. / used thirty-hve Pills
in all and he was entirely cured. l consider
