STATE BOARD OF CONTROL is
GRANTED A REQUEST BY
THE RAILROADS.
Can Now Use Mileage In Conveying
Convicts or Insane Patients to
State Institutions.

The railway companies have granted
a request recently made by the state
board of control so that mileage tick
cts are good for prisoners or insane
patients being conveyed to state insti-
tutions in charge of state guards. The
matter was taken up by the board
with the state railroad commission and
the railroad companies. The latter
met the request in generous spirit
and conceded the request 1t is the
custom in other states and effects a
saving of half a cent a mile on each
person transported.
While j. H. Davis, a member of the
state board was in Denver he met
Governor Mcdonald, who was much
interested in inquiring into the opera
lions of the state board of control in
the management of the state institu-
lions.
In Colorado the old method of having
board of trustees for each institution
still prevails, but there is a growing
sentiment in favor of following the ex-
ample of states which have adopted
the later methods of creating a state
board for all institutions.

Ex-Mayor Betz Says He Did Not OBJ
iect to Assessment.

Ex-Mayor Betz, who is in the city
looking after his extensive property
interests here, denies that he was op-
posed to an increase in the assessed
valuations of the city by the council.
He says that in the hands of a wise
council there would be some advant-
ages in higher valuation and lower
rate, but if council should be chosen
that would give both higher valuations
and the maximum rate it would be ex-
tremely burdensome for taxpayers.
Mr.. Betz says he always pays his taxes
cheerfully and that ne has not even
asked for a reduction in the assess
ment of the West Main street business
building that was destroyed by fire.

SAYS WARDEN KEGS WAS NOT
IMPLICATED IN THE REGIS.
TRATIoN PROCEEDINGS.
Guards Were "ReckIess" and Thew
Must Pay the Penalty for Their
Acts.

Governor Mead was in Seattle Mon
day and to the Post Intelligencer had
this to say relative to the penitentiary
trouble:
MY first ruling in that matter
stands, and those men ordered remov-
ed are now making their preparations
to leave. Concerning Warden KEGS
and the many rumors of either mis-
resignation or removal, will say that
1 have heard nothing to indicate that
the one or the other was to take place.
Mr.. KEGS had nothing to do with the
and 1 can see no reason for such ru-
mors as have been spread about
Il do not believe that the boys 1
ordered removed did what they did
with any vicious intent. They ex-
planned to me that it had always been
the custom, and that they had merely
followed custom. 1t was more reck-
lessness on their part than anything
else, but it is brand of reck1eSsness
do not wish to encourage in state
departments.
The typhoid fever situation is bad,
but everything that can be is being
done, and l believe that the prison
authorities will soon have the cpl
demic we'll in hand"

Team.

Football will soon be the topic of
discussion at the high school, for week
after next will witness the opening
of the fall term and scarce less note
worthy, the football season. Coach
Delses will have practically a new
team to build up, as the high school
lost five of it's best men by gradua-
ton. The men who will not don the
mo1e-skin this year are Ring, Wills,
Marion, Howard and Cookery, but
with a wealth of available material
and an excellent coach, there is no
reason why the high school should not
land at the top of the Inland Empire
schools. ~ ,
