GOOD MINSTREL SHOW.
Inmates of the State Prison Gave
Splendid Entertainment Last
Evening.

Although they view the liberty and
bappiness of this world through
prison bars. some of the habitues OF
the Oregon state prison have a large
and versatile lot OF talent.
The o. s. p. mlnstrels gave their
semi-annual show last evening" and
never in the history OF the organiza-
ton have they ever given a more en-
toyable one.
As each half year goes by new
faces appear in the minstrels, and
some OF the old familiar ones drop
out. However popular a fayorite
may be. everybody is glad TO know
that he Is no longer playing check
ers with his nose on the ten OF dia
monds, and that hls chair in the min
strel circle Is vacant.
As a large number OF the mem
bers OF the legislature was present a
majority OF the jokes were on the
lawmakers. Speaker Davey. Dan
Malarkey, DR.. Smith. Senator Kay
Representative Bones. Coke and
Cole came in for a lot of good-na-
tured digs. William J. Bryan got a
few jlbes. and there we're a few OF
the old stereotyped jokes that belong
TO all minstrel shows. just as does
burnt cork and banjos.
The performance was as good as
most minstrel shows. and the crowd
was very enthusiastic. The large
dining hall was actually packed.

ties The major portion OF the ter
,,iories embraced within the limits
OF both these proposed new crea-
uons are situated well up in the Cas-
cade reserve.
According 20 custom. which Is
sort OF unwrltten law, the territory
emiuaced within the confines OF any
proposed new county creation must
show a taxable valuation Of at least
one million dollars. and herein lies
the bone OF contention between the
proposed counties OF Jefferson and
Nesmith. Nosmith county proposed,
consists OF a portion OF the southeast
corner of Wasco and q portion OF
Northern Crook. and g. laps over
into the territory OF Jefferson coun-
ty, proposed. which Il comprised OF
the northern portion OF Crook by
eight townships. representing an APP
proxlmato valuation OF 100000.
without this territory II will be Inn
possible for Nesmith county TO be-
come a reality. aud with II they can
show an estimated taxable yalua-
tlon OF 100000. Jefferson coun-
~, as II Is now mapped out. shows
a taxable valuation OF Sl,350,000.
including the territory sought by
Nesmith county. but. with the l6
available townships from Wasco It's
valuations would be increased TO S2.- !
OOO. 900.
The people OF Wasco county who
are opposed 20 the Cascade county |
movement are In favor OF the Ncs-
NTH scheme. since Il only chops on
tho "atoyeplpo" end OF the county,
which is now practically useless, and
reduces tho area OF Wasco 20 such
an extent that II will be impossible
20 shave on any more. But the con-
test on between Jefferson and Nes-
NTH counties will have a bearing
upon the case 10 a certain extent. In
nsmuoh as Jefferson does not feel In
rllned 10 give 40 any OF the territory
upon which Il has designs. Then,
again, there is n scrap on between
The towns Of Madras and Antelope

~. and this places another phase
upon the situation.

feet OF the reservation area restrlc-

their business. Second, that the
great expense of running these
private corporations is paid by
the people. Third, that the pub
Inc utility operated 10y a private
corporation is operated not
in the interest of the people
and for their accommodation, nor
for the good or the expansion Of
the city, but in the interest of
the stockholders, often of foreign
corporations who have no inter-
est In the city, but to get out of
1t all the money they dare take.
Fourth, that, In order to acquire
or to hold public franchise,
those corporations, generally, do
not hesitate to bride and corrupt
the municipal officers, thereby
debauching the public servants
and prostitutiDg the public
morals, thus creating a condition
a thousand times worse than
municipal ownership has ever
been accused of doing. Fifth,
that the farming out to private
individuals or corporations those
public utilities which were Gre
ated by the people coming
together into towns and cities, |
which utilities are inherently
their property, is opposed to
every principle of economies and
violates every idea of business.
The specifications under each one
of these counts would fill a page
OF any newspaper.
The corporations and capit, l.
lists who have grown fat and are
fatter off of municipal
monopolies are beginning to
realize that, unless the tide of
popular sentiment is stemmed,
their special privileges will be
swept sway and they are, at
present, resorting to uncon-
and desperate methods
to save themselves from the
coming food" II
