Last night as Grandpa Clough, the
pioneer undertaken of the city, was
disturbing the sleep of all the other
members Of his family by his strong
chords of "sheet" music, the phone
rang. He crawled out, expectirIy to
receive call for his professional SER

qualification 1t was his son-in-law,
Rex Bishop, in Portland, who called
to announce the birth of an eight
pound boy. He was so overjoyed that
he could not sleep any more that night
so put in the time calling up his
friends around town announcing the
fact that he was grandad. After
some persuasion from his family his
excitement was quieted down, but not
without many protestations from Mr..
Clough, and he was put to bed, only
to oversleep this morning. However,
he arrived at his place Of business

W. Cooper Morris Was Let Go
to Testify in the Louis J.
Wilde Case on Behalf Of the
State.
TESTIMONY HELPED WILDE
An Understanding Was Reached That
a Parole Instead Of a Pardon Would
Be Most Satisfactory, But Effect is
the Same-Other Cases Before the
Parole BOard-Cashler Evans, Of
the Defunct PhilOmath Bank Is Not
so Fortunate as to Get Release.

The recommending Of parole for
w, Cooper Morris by the parole board
is one of the live topics Of discussion
in the city and in view of these rec
concentrations, and also that the
statement is freely made that Cover
nor West promised that IL Morris
would testify in the Wilde case that
he would pardon him, the opinion is
general that the governor cannot do
otherwise now than give him par
ole, w.
The governor still continues reti-
cent on the subject, declaring that
he has not yet made up his mind.
According to those conversant with
the case, the governor promised to
pardon Morris as soon as he should
favor the state with his testimony in
the Wilde case.
With its termination, however, II
is said that the governor desired
that the parole board should bear a
part Of the burden and referred the
case to It, At the same time an un-
derstanding was reached, 1t is de-
clared, that a parole instead Of a
pardon would be more agreeable to
all concerned, save, of course, Nor
ris.
John r. Logan, member Of the par
ole board, win make, 1t is stated, a
personal plea for an unconditional
pardon, and In support of It will call
attention to a United States supreme
court decision holding that when
ever witness turns state evidence
that the state becomes indebted to
him to the extent that he is entitled
to clemency.
Other Parole Cases.
In view of the fact that the district
attorney who prosecuted him, f. s
Iyanhoe, of LaGrande, has appealed
for clemency for Geo. Brown, sem
fenced from Union county to a term
in the penitentlary for forgery, the
parole board will likely now give him
a parole.
His case came up before the board
for consideration at It's meetings a
few days ago, but the case was con-
tinued over for another month in or
der to let the members further inves-
tlgate IT,
Former Cashier Evans, Of the de-
funct Philomath bank, also applied to
the board at It's recent meeting for a
