1t Is thought that she took the o'clock

fact that she was landed there few
minutes before the train departed. her

From Chicago IT was learned that de-

never left there, and the theory OF the
Cambridge police is that in some manner
the brother has communicated with Miss

DEATH OF PIONEER.
Hon. NJ. Baker. of Union County, Dies
in La Grande.


La Grande, Aug. 31.-Last evening
after many years of acute suffering,
death finally claimed Hon. NJ. Baker
of this city, one of the we'll known
pioneers of eastern Oregon.
Mr.. Baker belonged to a class of
men who can properly be designated
as self-made, notwithstanding the fact
that he never attended school but. six
months in his life he was nevertheless
an educated man. For many years hi
stood at the head of the bar of Union
county and enjoyed large remuner-
ative practice. He was strong in his
opinions and convictions and what
ever cause he espoused he threw his
intense energy into the work, which
aside from his profession were largely
devoted to extending the principles
of the republican party and the cause
of temperance.
Prior to coming to this coast, while
resident of Iowa, he led the state
delegation TO the Chicago national re-
publican convention and took an ac-
tive part in the securing of the nom
ination of Abraham Lincoln for pres
ident in 1860. He served as county
chairman and secretary CT the Unioa
county republican committees time
.ld again and until recent years was
always a delegate to our state con-
vcntions.
Born in Illinois in 1881, at the age
of years with his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Baker, he moved to Iowa.
then a frontier state, where they re-
sided until 1872, when the pioneer
spirit of his parents again became pre-
dominant and he with his family ac-
companiad them across the plains and
arrived in Grand Ronde valley in the
fall of 1872, becoming one of the first
five families to settle in the city OF
La Grande.

Salt Lake, Aug. s1.-one hundred
and forty-four thousand pairs Of socks
are made in Utah every year. They
are knit from cotton. You did not
know 1t, neither did your neighbor,
neither did the taxpayer who resides
in Kane county, nor the taxpayer in
Cache county. But they were manu-
factured. That 1000 dozen pairs are
turned out every month. They are
manufacture from cotton, and they
are good socks, too. Where are they
made? Where is the factory? Where
do the workmen live?
Men who are convicted of crime do
the work, knit the socks. Some are
serving life sentences; some one year;
but they knit socks.
Where They Are Made.
The mandatory where they are
made is in the Utah state prison. Be-
hind the high walls which surround
the penitentiary buildings. In these
buildings and the grounds about them
are confined 206 criminals. two Of
whom are women.
Among those incarcerated for life
are Abe Mapors. James Shockley and
Nathan Haworth. The crimes for
which these three were convicted are
fresh in the minds Of Utahans. There
are other life prisoners. convicts, who
have been there for many years, and
one who is sentenced to serve term
OF years after death. His life sentence
was for murder. His sentence after
death was for burglary committed in
the southern part of the state.
Not all of these convicts knit socks
but many of them do; others make
brushes and, like the socks. they toe
are good; others are employed on the
farm of 1901 acres which belongs to
the state, and others make cinches.
Cannot Compete With Other Labor.
Under the law. convicts in the Utah
state penitentiary cannot manufac'
ture anything for sale that would be
In competition with the labor of peo'
pie who are outside of prison walls

work of its criminals, manufacture

Greatest Cotton Year in History.

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 31.-Accord-
ing to the statistics for the year end
irg today the past year has been the
greatest cotton year in the history of
this country. The crop was large and
not only were large number of new
cotton mills built during the year, but
also many other manufacturing es-
Establishments which use cotton as a
raw material. The consumption Of
cotton has also greatly increased by
the many additions which have been
made during the past year.
