young man has practically made this
city his home. He seems to have an
affinity for crime and has been be-
hind prison bars several times. Just
before the time that 1t is alleged he
forged the checks in Pendleton, he
served a term in the Jail there for
stealing a bicycle.
1t is confidently believed by many
who know him. that his insanity is
feigned, thinking thereby to soon be
able to regain his freedom.
The case of young Stone or Wins
law. was handled by Attorney Nc
Mann, who is said to be a brother-in-
law to DR.. Griffith, of the asylum,
and II is hinted that the relationship
between the two may have had some
thing to do with Stones being declar-
ed insane. 1t is said that other ply
sicians who examined Stone refused
to consider him as insane. Attorney
McMann is the same who attempted
to cast reflections upon the manage
ment Of the penitentiary recently and
was before a committee from the leg
islature who were investigating the
subject.

After a two-weeks' lay-off, the en-
tire force at the woolen mill will re-
sumo on Monday, and Manager Fer
guson is of the opinion that no more
stops will be necessary. According
to him, there is now enough wool on
hand to keep the plant going for the
next six weeks, and from then on new
wool may be secured.
The fixtures for the rug weaving
loom have now arrived, and as soon
as the plant is under way again the
rug making experiment will be COM
menced. To secure the wool for this
work it will be necessary to select
the coarser wool from the various
clips that are purchased, as no entire
clip could be used for the purpose.
In the spring catalogue issued by
Fleischner, Mayer & CO., of Portland,
the local wooden mill is given liberal
space. On the cover page is a Moor
house picture in colors. showing the
famous Indian robe. and several pages
are also devoted to the products of
the wooden mills. Fleishner, Mayer
& Co. are the Portland distributors
for the mill, and have evidently found
1t worth while to exploit its products.

Salem, March 17.-That Herbert
winslow, alias D. E. Stone, has played
crazy to escape serving a term in the
penitentiary is the opinion freely ex-
pressed in Salem.
Winslow was arrested in this city
two days ago, under the name of d.
e. Stone, upon information received
from Sheriff Taylor, Of Pendleton, it
being alleged that he had forged a
couple of checks in that city two
years ago. He was working as a car
penter here when arrested by Officer
Lewis and gave the name OF D. E.
Stone. The Umatilla officer was at
once notified of his arrest and arriv-
ed this morning to get his man.
When he drove up to the county
Jail, however, to convey the prisoner
to the train, he was greatly surprised
to find that the relatives Of the young
man had just sworn out a complaint
charging him with insanity, and that
the examination was being conduct
ed at that time. DR.. Griffith, of the
asylum, and DR.. ]. N. Smith conduct
ed the examination. After question
ing the prisoner for nearly half an
hour they pronounced him insane and
County Judge Scott ordered him COM
mitted to the asylum.
Winslow is we'll known in Salem,
as his parents, who are honored and
respected farmers, reside a few miles
west of here in Polk county and the

CELEBRATES ST. PATRIoK's DAY.
Today at Salem, Oregon, j. p. Nc
Manus, the Editor Of the Pilot Rock
Record, Is Wed.

J. P. McManus left on last nights
train for Salem. Ore. Mac is an en-
thusiastic Irishman. Today is st.
Patrick's Day. Mac will celebrate
the day. At o'clock today he mar
ries Ida G. McAllister. The marriage
will take place at the home of the
brides sister, Mrs. G. A. Bach. Mr..
and Mrs. McManus will arrive at
their home at Pilot Rock next Mon
day. We extend our heartiest con-
gratulations and our best wishes.
There is not an editor in Eastern Ore
gon who can handle his pen better
than Mac. He can, IL occasion re-
quire, dip his pen in vitriol and make
his victims writhe. He is master of
sarcasm, yet withal kindly. He is so
spare that he almost has to stand
twice in one place to make a shadow,
but the soul of the man is out of all
proportion to his body. He comes of
fighting stock and would rather go
down in defeat fighting for what he
believes, than to uphold what he does
not endorse. Though able to hold
down an editorial desk on a large
metropolitan paper ne runs the Fllot
Rock Record at Pilot Rock. There
he is his own boss He says what he
pleases and II his subscribers don't
like it, cheerfully advises them to stop
their paper. But they don't stop; they
want to see what Mac is going to say
about them next week. No threat
can intimidate Mac. Mac and Psyche,
his pet coyote, are known wherever
the U. S. mail takes the Record. They
ramble over the hills together, the
best of friends. Alas, poor Psyche!
Do you not see your finish? You are
no longer first in your masters affec-
tions. "I may not get as much cut
glass as some, but don't think for a
moment that don't cut just as much
ice," said Mac. Farewell, Psyche.

COMPETENT LABoRERs SCARCE
Good Men Are Wanted Upon the
Farms of This County.

Since spring farm work has begun
most of the idle men who were really
bona fide workingmen have secured
positions, and as a result good farm
laborers are now hard to find, ac-
cording to those who are in positions
to know the situation. While there
are not many vacancies to be filled,
when one does occur, 1t is difficult
to find a competent man for the
place.
Most of the laborers that are here
are said to be transient men who are
more adapted to work on railroads, oil
the mining camps than on farms.
