NOTED SPEAKER MAY CONE
| ENGLISH ORATOR WILL VISIT
WEST IN INTEREST OF La
| Dor UNION.

From Cleveland comes the news that
Ben Tillett, one of Englands greatest
orators, is coming west, and Walla
Walla is named as one of the possible
places of his visit While no word has
reached the labor union circles in this
city regarding the probable visit, Spo-
kane, Butte, Tacoma, Seattle Portland
and Everett are preparing to welcome
the speaker.
7 Mr.. Tillett is expected to reach this
country about the first of the year.
During his visit here he will make a
limited number of visits in the west,
and as Villa Walla is recognized as
one of the important labor cities of the
northwest, undoubtedly arrangements
will be made for him to speak in this
city. Mr.. Tillett is at present in Aus
tralia studying and recuperating.
While in this country he will give Sc
ries of lectures on the worlds labor

OVER MILLION
OF BAGS MADE
SACKS MADE AT STATE PENiTEN-
TlARY ARE VALUED AT
$105,225.9e.

The jute mill at the state peniten-
tiary opeI ated by convict labor made a
profit for the state during the year of
$4,000 after charging off $4,000 for the
depreciation of the plant. From jan
uary l to November 1. the total num-
Der of sacks manufactured amounted
to 1.169,511, representing a total value
of s1O5, 255.99
These figures are shown in a report
made to Governor Mead by B. L. Will
liams, clerk of the prison. The jute
used so far this year at the prison has
been of an inferior quality although
siderably higher than heretofore. But
| the jute purchased some months ago
upon which the mill will operate dur
| ing the ensuing year is reported as
several years. This fact will probably
reduce the amount of waste and con-
siderably increase the states profit on
next years operations.
Statement of Expenditures.
The expenditures for the period ag-
gregated $9S.SSS.2S. This was made up
of the following items: Cost of 1854
miles of jute used, $73, 1880; cost OF
all manufacturing supplies other than
jute, s4,569.33; cost of all machinery
repairs. tools. etc, $2,233.92; cost Of
fuel and motive power, $6,121.99; cost
of salaries, $6,76343; allowances of
jute mill depreciation, etc. $4,000.
In figuring the cost Of the bags and
other jute products no allowance was
made for the labor of convicts. Every
| convict sent to the renitentiary is pre-
sumed to be employed at hard labor
and the bag manufacture was started
particularly to furnish employment and
at the same time to avoid competition
| with free labor of the state The only
other grain bags sold ir. the state are
those manufactured by native labor in
India or California convict labor. The
Washington price is nine cents. estab-
lished by the board Of control, was
under the open market price and No
yember 1 all sacks had, been disposed
of except 275,00O. In fact, these could
have been sold to applicants, some of
whom reside ir. Oregon, but for the
fact that the law requires they be sold
only to resident grain growers.
The cost of jute in one grain sack
for the period was 61-4 cents. while
other expenses brought the average
cost up to fraction under eight cents.
The mill was operated 1874 days and
showed the profit per day of about $72.

unusal way in their efforts to win
places on the State College tumbling
team, which will give an exhibition in
the State College auditorium in about

fellows have reason to be proud of
making good. The work of the team
involves pyramid work Roman ladder
climbing, rope-walking, boxing, wrestl-
ing exercises on both horizontal and
parallel bars, and this year a couple of
trapeze stunts may be included. as the
team promises to be stronger than
usual. McCaw is a sophomore In civil

WILL TALK WITH
ALL GOVERNORS
PRESIDENT EXTENDS INVITA-
TONS TO CHIEF EXECUTIVES
TO MEET IN CONFERENCE.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-President
Roosevelt has invited the governors of
states ana territories to meet him at
the White House, May 13, IA and 10,
next, to discuss the question of means
to conserve the natural resources of
tended to the members Of both houses
of congress, and to the interland
waterways commission. The import
ance and manner in which the sub
ject is to be considered are indicated
in the presien IS letter to the COVER
nors, which was made public at the
White House. The letter says In part:
1T is evident that the abundant nat
this nation rests are becoming depleted
and in not a few cases are already eX-
hausted This is true of all portions or
the United States; it is especially true
of the longer settled communities of
the east. The gravity of the situation
must, l believe, appeal with special
force to the governors of the states,
because of their close relations to the
people and their responsibility for the
welfare of their communities. Inc
matters to be considered at this con-
ference are not confined to any region
or group of states, but are of vital con-
Germ to the nation as whole and to
all the people. These subjects include
the use and conservation of the min
eral resources, the resources OF the
land and the resources of the waters
in every part of our territory.
In order to open discussion, l shall
invite a few recognized authorities TO
present brief descriptions of actual
facts and conditions, without argu-
ment, leaving the conference to deal
with each topic as it may elect.
