For those who might not know 1t,
it may be said that the Peoples Thea
ter company, now holding down the
boards at the Keylor Grand, is a little
above the average as stock companies
go. All in the company are clean-cut
individuals and artists of not little
ability. No idle ones are carried on
the company's pay roll. With this
company it is a case of everybody

their stay in this city they have been

Wearing nothing but a happy smile,

on West Alder street, walked out Of
his home yesterday morning and, even
as Adam would have done, strolled in
his childish innocence for a quarter
of an hour along the streets of the
vicinity. needless 10 say, willie as MS
name is, was monarch of all he sur
veyed. The few mosquitoes which had
stayed out late made bold attacks, and
the flies were not unfriendly. But
Willie was happy. He stubbed his
toes occasionally, but he soothed the
hurts in a mud-puddle, and was just
proceeding to take swim when a big
fat man. with a bigger, fatter SMILE
called to him to get into something.
Willie got into the mud-puddle, and
he might have been taken for the first
born of Adam when he got out. =
Then he patrolled Sixth street for a
few minutes, perhaps in search of fig
leaves.
He found none. Willie wasn't wor-
ried about clothes. He was "out with
nature" in all the meaning Of the term.
and when his mother caught him he
was out with something else.
The novelty Of Willie's predicament
appealed to his mother and she i'm
posed no other punishment than to
make him put on his Buster Brown
Suit. JOHN HENRY SMITH.

FAIR DIVISION OF PENITENTIARY
SACKS.

The manufacture of jute bags at the
penitentiary was undertaken in the first
place because the grain producers Of
eastern Washington were being OPP
pressed by a grain bag trust and it
was planned to give them relief
through the employment of convicts in
labor that would not come in COMPETE
ton with the free labor of the state.
For several years the object sought in
the establishment of the jute mill was
accomplished by a great reduction in
the price of sacks, which effected ma
terial saving of all the grain produ-
GERS.
A salutary law provides that the pro-
ducts of the jute mill shall be sold only
to residents of this state, and one Of
the most serious charges made against
Warden Coblents, who committed sui
eide to escape prosecution for defalca-
tons brought to the attention of Gov
ernor McGraw, was that he was spec
ulating in penitentiary grain sacks and
selling many Of them to residents of
Oregon. Under a recent remarkable
ruling Of Attorney General Atkinson
sell penitentiary sacks to residents of
Washington for use in marketing
wheat which they raised on land owned
by them in Oregon. This is directly
opposed to the view of the law taken
when Warden Coblentz was accused of
malfeasance in office, and if it is
correct Interpretation of the law, it is
high time for it to be amended by the
Legislature.
Formerly it was the custom to divide
the output of the penitentiary jute
mill pro rata among the farmers MAX
ing application by certain prescribed
date. This was the rule under the
Rogers administration, or at least I'M
der the last two years of that admin
istration. Last year, however, this
rule was abandoned by the board of
control and the rule was first come
first served" AS a result the sacks
We're all disposed of long before har-
vest, and farmers who were confident
ly counting on getting a supply at
the pen We're astounded to learn that
they had all been promised months be-
forS Moreover, under the peculiar rul-
ing of the attorney general many sacks
went across the line into Oregon, while
Washington farmers had to pay the
high price demanded for Calcutta
sacks
In explanation of this hasty sale of
the sacks without notice to farmers in
general it is only fair to say that in
the year 1904 the penitentiary sacks
were drug on the market because of
board of control may have expected
the same condition to prevail last year
and hence ordered the penitentiary out
put sold to the first men who should
apply for them.
This year. however. the price of Call
cutta sacks is abnormally high and it
would be great injustice to the grain
growers of Washington not to give
them all fair chance to buy peniten-
tiary sacks. In order to do this the
pro rata system should be revived and
date fixed after which no applications
will be received.
The Commercial club Of Walla Wal
la would do the farmers of eastern
Washington and many residents of this
community a great favor by taking
up this question with the state board
of control without delay, provided con-
