We the undersigned citizens of OktibA

to pardon West Minor, who plead guilty

and we ask your leniency, believing that
if this petition is granted, his father
will be relieved of a considerable burden,
which he is not able to bear, that the
prisoner will return home a better and

THE TELEGRAPHING
TYPEWRITER HERE

For The first time In the history
OF Salem, a typewriterless typewrlting
machine has been set upon display
aud the sight of typewriter sailing
along unattended and alone has prov
en- to be quite an astonishing one to
Salem people.
The machine, being recent inven-
ion, is called the Burlingame tele-
graphing typewriter and is calculat-
ed to take the place OF the telegraph
operator. Instead of using the Morse
code or requiring skilled operator,
the receiving typewriter at one end
is operated by the typewriter at the
other, producing duplicate OF the
matter written on the first machine.

planning the workings OF the machine

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE acute
ness OF the Pinchot-Ballinge coutro-
versy may fes.er itself here today the
more strikingly by the dead silence
az the interior department and the
suppressed but all pervading atmos-
phere OF enthusiasm at the forestry
service bureau.
Assistant Secretary Pierce. who Is
back again and is acting secretary OF
the interior department. does not
care TO discuss tne charges of NAL
administration made against Secre-
tary Ballinger by Chief Forester Pin
chot. Acting Commissioner Swartz
OF the general land office has the
same aversion.
An effort was made today by
representative OF the United Press to
review the entire records at the land
office including the mooted filing on
15S.6S acres OF land at Bozeman.
Mont. by President Ramsey of the
Riverside Land and Livestock Co.
II was this filing that Pinchot or
iginally declares was In the interest
OF the power trust. This statement
was specifically denied by Acting
Commissioner Swartz several days
ago.
The attempt TO have this record
examined by land lawyer was dis
approved by the department of the
interior officials.

cial, lis threadbare. II Is our policy

ing the counter charges which have
