About 10000. 600 feet have been

up this year had marks on them of
lumber companies that have been out

it is safe to say that there are logs still
at the bottom of the river that have
been there we'll onto half q century. I

bottom in tiers six and eight deep, and

raise these, stack them up on the river
bank and allow them to dry out for at

into the river, hoated down stream,
and delivered to their rightful owners
if the old brands are still recognizable.
Those not identified are sold for the
common good of the lumber companies

The lumber mace from these old logs

COMPLAINTS INVESTIGATED.
In the administration of the Affairs
of the school, its entire population
comes before the board approximate
ly every twelve months on applica-
ton for parole or discharge. Many OF
them appear several times during that
period. In addition to this, parents
and friends, in large numbers, come
before the board to intercede for the
release of inmates. When, at rare in
tervals, complaints have been made of
improper treatment, such complaints
have been investigated. not only
through the officers but through per-
sonal interviews with the inmates
themselves.
''Of the hundreds of inmates who
have come before the board in the past
few years. none have claimed that the
corporal punishn. emit has been unduiy
severe. The records show that parents,
relatives and friends frequently availed
themselves of the privilege of visiting
inmates in whom they were interested,
and that there was plenty Of oppor-

and treatment.

case at issue cover a period of nearly

The summary of several hundred pag-

charges preferred against Supt.
Whittier of the State Training School
is contained in the following memoran-
da of the report by the State Board
of Control:
"In arriving at its conclusions OF
fact, the board has taken into c0nsid
Grafton: FIRST. the evidence. as de-
termined by its substance. character.
credibility, harmony or conflict with
written records and apparent bias;
second, the witnesses, character, repu-
tation, manner and attitude on the
stand, and, third, the punishment, its
object, justification, character, quaint.
ty and effect
Much OF the testimony for CON-
plainant in this case consists of what
is known as hearsay. 1t must be re-
ceived with caution and scrutinized
with care. Its value, SO far as it
possesses any, IS when it corr0borates
direct evidence credible in character
but of insufficient volume to establish
the fact to which it relates. Under
this test much of this character OF
evidence falls for want of support.
CHARACTER OF WITNESSES.
by reason Of its legal relation to
the youthful delinquents upon whose
testimony the. complainant almost
wholly relies. the board is reluctant to
make use of language in reference to
them as emphatic as in its judgment
would otherwise be warranted or to
describe in detail the nature Of their
offeuses. Some of them are still under
guardianship. with the hope that time
and training may transform them into
