BACK TO PRISON
FOR EX-CONV|CTS
SHERIFF TAYLOR TAKES
THREE TO SALEM
All Have Been Wearers OF Penitenu-
ary Clothes Before-One Sentenc-
ed to Sing Sing at Early Age.

Sheriff Taylor left today for Salem,
having in his custody three ex-con-
victs who will be turned over to the
authorities at the state penitentiary
TO serve time again for their crimes.
The three men are William Reno, K.
W. Jillett and r. c. Padden.
Reno will probably have the short
est time to serve and he is undouot-
edly the hardest character Of the
three. At one time he served a sem
tence in the Washington penitentiary
at walla Walla and last night con-
fessed that at the age of 10 he was
sentenced TO Sing Sing for term OF
five years. He is known to have sew
eral aliases, among them being VIII
Berger and Yorky Bill, the latter be-
ing the name under which he goes
among the yeggmen. He is profici-
cient in his use of the slum vernacu-
lar and to anyone interested in this
particular class of humanity, con-
versation with him would prove ex-
tremely edifying. Reno was convicted
OF attempted sodomy, the case coming
here from Umatilla, and he was given
the maximum sentence of two and a
half years for his offense. That ne
is not totally without sense of shame
was evinced last night when he broke
down for the first time since his i'm
prisonment not. he explained, because
he was being sent over" but because
of the nature of the crime for which
he was sentenced 10 prison.
Jillett will make the penitentiary
his home for an indeterminate length
of time, his sentence being from on

ONE OF LONGEST WOODEN
BRIDGES TO BE FILLED

One Of the longest wooden railroad
bridges in the world is soon to be
filled. This prominence Is claimed
for the structure over Sprague Gulch,
where the Spokane, Portland & Seat
tie Railway crosses it, about 40 miles
west of Spokane. 1t will cost about
$400, 900 to fill 1t and the contract has
been let.
The railroad trestle is 5000 feet long,
almost a mile, and varies In height
from 40 to 80 feet. 1t will take
about 100000 yards of earth to COM
plete the fill, 1t Is estimated. A tract
of 100 acres nearby has been pur-
chased by the railroad company and
steam shovels will scoop the dirt into
the cars which will dump 1t into the
gulch. An idea of the magnitude OF
the work may be gained from the fact
that 1t will take at least two years, and
possibly longer, to complete the job.
The gulch spanned by the trestle Is
a very long and deep ravine. but COM
paratively little water flows through
II. A concrete arch will provide for
the flow Of this water.

RUNS A
VIRGINIA PLANTATION

On the eastern slope OF the Alle-
gheny mountains, in the historic state
OF Virginia, is located a tract OF roll
ing upland, consisting or about eleven
thousand acres, notable as the ances-
trail home of Thomas F. Ryan, the
we'll known American r1nancier. The
homestead is at Oak Ridge, Nelson
county. on the Southern railroad be-
tween Charlottesville and Lynchburg,
and the thousands of acres, huge
tracts of cultivated land, broad mea-
dows and wooded knolls spread out
over hill and dale to the foot of the
dark mountains on the west. The
| buildings have been restored and en-
larged, the plantation has been thor
oughly electrified and made a model
even for this advanced agricultural
age, and the rolling hills, which are
not under cultivation, have been made
game preserves where the wild life of
secure.
But recently this large plantation
was equipped with complete cleo
trical system so that the buildings are
now flooded nightly with an abund-
ance of electric light and there is
plenty of electric power to drive the
farm machinery, to operate the dairy.
to manufacture ice and do the other
endless chores familiar to farm work.
Without this modern power system
it would require a large number of
men and horses to do the work about
this large plantation. Now the work
ing energy of eighty horses, of 500
men, is confined in one power room
where it can be instantly dispatched,
with the speed Of the very lightning,
in any amount desired to do the hard
work about the farm and the many
farm buildings

Many of the patrons of the Ore
gon theater last night were complain
ing bitterly of the lack of considera-
ton which causes some people to
mar the enjoyment Of others by con-
stantly talking and laughing in audi
BILE tones. This sort of disturbance
was kept up through the entire per-

intense moments, and the offenders
were not hoodlums who congregate
in the back gallery, but respectable
people who are evidently impressed

MORM0NS HERE
FOR REVENGE

Determined to take keen revenge
for the first defeat they have suffer-
ed for two years, the Mormon bas-
ketball team of La Grande arrived
in Pendleton this afternoon to meet
the local high school quintet in
game tonight. 1t was this team that
the wearers of the big p humiliated
last Thursday evening in their home
city by the score OF 30 to 22, but the
winners admit that part OF their sue
cess was due to the overconfidence
&C their opponents.
The Mormons We're undoubtedly
the most formidable aggregation
which the local boys met in their re-
cent tour and they are far from sat-
isfied with the outcome OF the game
with Pendleton. They believe they
have the superior team and will en-
deavor to prove 1t tonight.
However the local boys are conf
dent that they can repeat their form
er feat and, because of the advantage
which they have in playing on their
home floor, they are figuring on
winning the game by a much larger
margin than before.
It Is certain that one of the most
exciting contest ever held here will
be witnessed, whichever way the
game goes. The high school un-
doubtedly has the fastest and clever
est team in its history and their team
work is really wonderful. The ex-
pense attached to bringing the La
Grande team over is considerable and
rs the hoys are deserving OF the Dat-
ronage of the public, 1t Is to be hoped
that big crowd will be present to
witness the exhibition tonight.

A chorus of bridesmaids, consisting

IRRIGATION FOR
WILLAMETTE VALLEY

Portland, Ore.-Although the rain
fall for the Willamette valley has al
ways been considered ample for all
purposes, comes now the proposal to
irrigate It. A syndicate has been
formed at Portland and a tract of A.
900 acres near Salem will be watered
by means of a canal from the Santi-
am river.
The land has been purchased and
work is now going forward on the ir-
rigating canals. 1t is expected to have
the canals and laterals completed In
time for watering the coming sea-
sons crops.
1t will be a surprise to some that
a district where over A inches Of
rainfall a year Is experienced needs
irrigation, but experts have decided
that much larger crops will be pro-
duced II water is supplied during the
height of the growing season, mid
summer, which is a period Of scant
moisture. Alfalfa, forage crops for
dairy cattle, root crops and fruits are
found to produce greater yields as
well as much better quality where
water is supplied to the thirsty
ground.
! Irrigation in the Willamette valley
is much of an experiment. 1t is true
but those behind the project believe
1t offers a great future for Western
Oregon in vegetable growth and ir
fact all lines of intensive farming
The men behind the syndicate are
prominent in Portland and while they
expect the project to make money
they also regard the venture in the
light of missionary work, believing
the whole valley will be greatly in
creased in fertility as the result
E. G. Hopson, supervising enginee
of the United states reclamation ser
vice, has passed upon the project an
he declares no other irrigation worl
on the Pacific coast surpasses ,thi
in the promise of success.

MOTORISTS IN ENGLAND

Luxury and motoring go hand in

clubhouse for motorists recently err

grandiose than anything yet known
in clubland. Situated on the "sweet,
shady side" nearly opposite the Juni-
or Carlton, this latest "Bohme from
home" of the clubmen is almost stag
gering in it's splendor. 1t is the boast
OF the managers that no ordinary man
will ever learn his way over the build
ing in less than two years, unless he is
constant in his attendance.
