Governor viii Recommend Eatab-
Iishment Of Institution. !.
DESIGNED TO TAKE PLACE OF NEW PRISON
MEAD'S PLAN is TO MAKE IT
sELF-sUPPoRTlNG ALONG
INDUSTRIAL LINES.

One of the principal recommends
lions to be made by Governor Albert
E. Mead, as the result of his visit to
the state institutions of Colorado, Utah
and Kansas, will be for the establish
ment of an industrial reformatory to
be established near Seattle on Puget
Sound. He stated to a Seattle news
paper reporter Sunday that in a gen.
eral way the plan which he proposes to
submit is for the establishment of an
industrial reformatory similar to those
at Elmira, N. Y, and Hutchinson, Kan
sas.
He will ask the legislature to make
the necessary appropriation for the
purchase Of the building materials and
a tract of land on Puget Sound near
Seattle, and proposes to have state
prisoners furnish all of the necessary
labor, with the exception Of such skilled
mechanics as are absolutely necessary.
While the plan which he has outlined
will in reality provide for a western
Washington penitentiary, only prison
ers under 25 years of age will be sent
to the institution. The inmates will be
trained in all of the different trades
and the first work along this line will
be in the construction of the buildings.

now practically taxed to it's capacity
said the governor, land it is necessary
for the state to make additional pro-
visions for the care of it's criminal
classes. At the present time about
three-fifths of the prisoners that are
sent to the penitentiary are from the
Puget Sound country, and the estab-
lishment of an institution on the Sound
would mean a considerable saving in
the transportation item
THE industrial reformatories at FL
mira and Hutchinson are two of the
finest institutions in the United States
and do a grea+ deal toward making
good citizens out of young men who
are just starting on criminal career.
The establishment Of an industrial re-
formatory on the Sound would answer
for the new penitentiary, which is soon
to be an absolute necessity.
Il propose to make recommendations
for changes in the manner of conduct
ing other of the state institutions,
which will be submitted to the board of
control as soon as 1 have had time to
outline the plans definitely"

Authors Salad,

A number of large leaves are cut out
of light green tissue paper, in the shape
of lettuce leaves; they are folded in the
center and crimped on knitting
needle A small card-shaped paper,
with a quotation written on it, is gum
med to the stem end of the leaf If the
leaves are made of two or three shades
of green paper, with the lighter shades
cut smaller than the others, and the
whole number are arranged in a round
wish with the small leaves in the CEN
ter, it will closely resemble a head of
lettuce.
When the company is ready for serv-
ing. the dish holding the leaves is pass
ed and each guest takes one. Upon
reading the quotation attached to it,
he must give the name of the au-
thor. If he does this correctly the leaf
is his. If he fails the leaf is returned
to the dish, and the next time it is
passed he must choose another, and try
again. The person having the largest
number of leaves at the end of the
game is given prize.

Sleeper on PendIeton-Spokane
Trains.

place in service on trains Z and be-
tween Spokane and Pendleton the new

Pullman sleepers which have hereto
fore been operated on those trains in
lieu of parlor cars will be discontinued
The new parlor observation cars are
an innovation in the west; in fact there
are no cars of just the same plan in
operation anywhere In one end of the
car is the kitchen, pantry and side
board; in the center is the dining COM
partment containing seats for IS peo-
pie; tables on one side being arranged
for four people and on the other side
for two persons each. Next to the
dining room is the smoking room,
about seven feet square, from which
room is furnished with luxurious
leather upholstered seats and shut off
from the rest of the car by a porter.
The parlor or observation room in the
other end of the car contains besides
two Pullman sections furnished win
tables ten comfortable movable chairs.
The interior finish of the parlor is of
vermillion wood. The dining room is
finished in mahogany and the ceilings
throughout finely decorated in the Pull
man company's most modern fashion.
These cars are equipped with wide YES
tibules and steel platforms and will be
heated by steam; they are examples OF

Chair Trick.

After placing a chair in the middle
of the room, say to your audience:
Now, if someone will stand on that
chair, can make that person get down
the first time l tell him without going
near him!"
OF course someone will at once de-
clare the statement to be ridiculous,
and jump on to the chair to prove that
you cannot carry it out
Then you say: Il order you to come
down off that chart"
Indeed, l shall do no such thing."
the person will most likely reply.
Very well. then" you answer quite
calmly. Il have told you once-I shall
not tell you again." And then, of
course, your victim will see that unless
he wishes to remain pedched on that
chair forever he will be obliged to get
down the first time you tell him."

RUNNING SORES

Little Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema - Instantaneous Relief
BY Cuticura = Little Boys Hands
and Arms Also Were a Mass
Of Torturing Sores = Grateful
Mother Says:
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
A HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

In reply to your letter write you
my experience, and you are privileged
to use it as you see fit. Last year,
after having my little girl treated by
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case of eczema, l resorted to the
Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura REM
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
Gin July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
OF torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and
anointed them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cuticura
Resolvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from doctor, and where
it costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

Commissioner Frost Has Written
Another Letter.
BOARD HAS NOT CHANGED ATTITUDE
CLAIMS THEY SHOULD BE LISTED,
ALONG WITH ALL OTHER
CREDITS.

Tax Commissioner J. E. Frost has
paper criticisms of the commission
with respect to the taxation of mort
cages. He made public the text of a
letter he has written on the matter to
Assessor c. F. Kayser, of Klickitat
county, which is as follows
Replying to your recent favors, we
have to say that this board has not
changed it's attitude toward the as
sessment of mortgages. The constitu-
ton of this state and the law make
mortgages, together with all other
credits, whether secured of record or
not, except mortgages and credits for
the purchase of real property, proper
ty for the purpose of taxation.
Mortgages should be listed along
with the other credits of the taxpayer,
and, from the total amount of his
credits, he is allowed to deduct the
amount of his Indebtedness in good
faith, owing within the state. The
balance, after this deduction, should
be assessed at the same proportion Of
its actual market value as other
property is assessed This should be
adopted at the last convention of
county assessors.
Exempt If for Purchase.
Under the law, mortgages for the
purchase of real property are exempt
from taxation. This exempts a pur-
chase money mortgage, and it does
not matter whether the mortgage is
assigned or not. 1t does not
change the character of the mortg
age or other security given as a part
of the purchase price of real proper
ty.
Neither the county assessors nor
the state board of tax commissioners
made the laws relative to the assess
ment of property in this state, nor did
they frame the state constitution, and
l am of the opinion that even if the
lawmakers of this state saw fit to alb
solutely exempt mortgages from tax
alton, that such an attempt at law
would be void, as being in conflict with
the direct provisions Of the constitu-
ton on the subject.
Double Assessments Justified.
no Of
credit is in the nature of a double as
sessment, but there is nothing in the
law nor in the constitution of this
state that prohibits a double assess
ment of property, nor is there any
thing in the fundamental principles
of law that speaks against it.
THE class of property in question,
that is. to say, mortgages and credits,
always returns some income to the
owner. They have the protection of
the law; the courts of justice are
more often put in operation for their
enforcement than for any other pur-
pose. That they may be enforced and
Pio'eSteu, tne po"ei VI 'ie So'oii
ment is more often exercised than
for any other purpose. and a goodly
portion of the fund received from tax
alton expended in that behalf.
There is no justice or reason in
proposition that looks toward exempt
ing them from taxation. 1t would be
much more fair to exempt from tax
alton the classes of property that are
absolutely nonproductive, that return
