WARDEN K|NCA|D FAvORS
MERIT SYSTEM At PRISON
Believes Promotion Method Contemplated
Will Result in Moral betterment of
Inmdtes.--|mproyementS Under Way

"The merit system is now being put
to a test" said Warden Kincaid of the
state penitentiary to a representative
Of The Statesman, yesterday. in
speaking of the many changes and i'm
Drovements taking place in and around
the prison at the present time
Warden Kincaid's administration is
but short one, seven months in fact,
but in this short time much has been
and is being done for the development
of prison life and routine, to bring it
as near as consistent to the standards
set in ordinary every day life.
The merit system was tried the first
week the warden came. OF course it
requires a thorough and personal
knowledge of the prisoner, and for this
reason all the heads of departments are
supplied with card indexes which are
filed in at opportune times, giving
each prisoners working capacity, his
habits, and general conduct. These are
carefully studied by the warden, which
in addition no the personal interviews
he grants the men three evenings of
the week, makes him thoroughly fa-
miliar and cOnverSant with the partlc-
ular needs and requirements of every
man under his charge. 1t is. as the
warden says, great and difficult study
"a study of man and of men.

FACULTY TO CROSS BATS
WITH SENIORS FRIDAY

Faculty and seniors are working hard
this week in preparation for the great
annual baseball game in which they
will be the principals, and which will
be contested on Ankeny field Friday
afternoon.
Much feeling is aroused over the
coming game, and the camps of both
seniors and faculty are rife with
boastings of the slaughter that will oc-
cur when the knights of '01 and the
pedagogues meet on the diamond in
battle array.
Members Of the latter aggregation,
however, after spending the past week
in deep concentration on a volume of
How to Play Baseball announced
that the game resolves itself into
merely a simple problem of spherical
geometry. and that its speedy solution
will, without doubt, prove light mat
ter to the faculty.
Just what answer the professional
schoolboys are figuring on handing the
seniors, however, has not been given

TO REMODEL GRANDsTAND
Extensive improvements Planned at
County Fair Grounds

Secretary Van De Water of the Wal
la Walla County Fair association stat
ed yesterday that plans are being
drawn for remodelling the grand stand
at the fair grounds. The interior of
he stand will be torn out and seats
placed at an angle of about 40 degrees
in order to give spectators a better
view of the race course.
Another improvement contemplated
by the directors is the erection of a
fence about the grand stand which will
bar young boys from the betting ring.
The fence will completely enclose the
grand stand and will do away with the
necessity of employing SO many gate
keepers. A ticket to the grand stand
will admit the holder to the betting
ring, which heretofore has been open
to the public.
The new plan, it is expected, will add
considerable revenue to the associa-
ton. A force of carpenters will be put
to work shortly fitting up the grand
stand.

In addition to this the prisoners are
now laying a railroad track connecting
with the spur lines of the O. r. & N.

he went back home. He said one man
named Smith was killed. Another one
