Thousands Of
PhamplctS are
on Way to Voters

Sixty thousand, out Of an estimated
100000 election pamphlets have been
mailed out of the office Of the secre-
tary Of state Ten thousand were
mailed yesterday
Secretary Olcott thinks the full re-
ports from the registration through
out the state will be in by the end Of
the week, and the complete state reg
istratian can be stated at that time.
The pamphlets are being mailed out
as fast as reports from the reglstra-
tcn come in.
There Is a legal requirement that
the clerks Of the several counties Of
the state shall report the registration
to the secretary Of state at the end Of
each week. Few Of the county clerks,
however, live up to the law, and the
consequence Is that the office Is han-
dcapped TO some extent in mailing the
pamphlets.

of $415,25O. The material used cost
S2.37O,15O, and the value Of the product
was $3,S6O,2S5.
The report will show that the lum-
her industry is the largest in the
state. Mr.. Tozier is today compiling
the figures pertaining to this industry.

The Honor
System
NOtRight
Wyoming Official Says Men
Are Sent to Prison to be
Punished, and Honor SyS-
tenn is Bad and Dangerous

Mr.. NJ. u. Pickett, a prominent
stockman of Rawlins, Wyo., who has
been deputized by Governor Carey, of
that state, was in the city today to
procure requlsition papers from Gov
ernor West for the return of Russell
Harrison, an escaped convict, now un-
der arrest in Portland.
Harris was serving a three-year SEN
tence for burglary, when he escaped
on August &c. Three others escaped
with Harris at the same time, two Of
whom are still at laDge.
In an interview today Mr.. Pickett
could not criticize the honor system
in vogue in the Rawlins penitentiary
too strongly "The convict" said Mr..
Pickett, "is in the penitentlary be-
cause he Is there to be punished, and
the chances Of reforming him in the
average case Is very remote. The hon
or system sounds very well, as a the
cry, but in practice 1t accomplishes
little and also is very dangerous As
you have no doubt seen by the press,
we had a fire in our penitentary
which burned the broom factory.
This fire considerably weakened the
stockade, and a week ago Saturday
20 convicts made their escape, A por-
tion have been apprehended, but nine
are still at large, Among the nine
still at large is Dalton, whom your
readers will no doubt remember as a
member of the famous Whitney gang
Of outlaws. With Dalton are Richard
son, Burke and BaXtrom, all under
life sentence for murder. In the me-
lee which followed the escape Of the
convicts one OF our citizens and one
of the convicts were killed, and today
all of our citizens are carrying fire
arms for their own protection
"To give you an idea how this hon
or system works out" said Mr. Pick
EFT, "there was a read gang at Cas-
per, Wyo. The foreman in charge Of
the gang was a heavy drinker, and
even went so far as to furnish liquor
to the convicts. A trusty working
with this gang and disappearing Of
such methods, wrote to Warden Al
ston, advising him Of what was going
on, and warning him that II such
things continued there would be seri'
Gus trouble. Then even in view Of his
seemingly good intentions, this very
same trusty took advantage Of the first
opportunity to escape, and is still at
large No honor system for me-"
said Mr. Pickett, "T know too much
about It,"
Mr.. Pickett expects to start back for
Rawllns from Portland with his prls-
one tonight.

to Jump at Each Other, and

Powers Will be Drawn in
luNIrrp rnnss LnAsrp WINE ]

London, Oct, 21-That a gigantic
war, involving all Europe will be In
stigated by a clash between Austria
and Russia, is the alarming prediction
Of Kaimil Pasha, president Of the
Turkish council, in today's issue Of the
London Chronicle All foreign diplo-
mats here are pesslmistlc over the
outlook, and Lloyds today is charging
Is per cent for insurance against war
within six months between Russia and
Austria.
Both Austria and Russia are watch
ing the Balkan war situation with
hungry eyes, each standing ready to
grab desirable Turkish territory at
slightest pretext, Russia today has
1900 cars ready to transport force
OF 10000 men to the scene the moment
Austria makes a move in the direc-
tlon Of Intervention.
Should either Austria or Russia all
diplomats here agree, attempt an an
nexation move It would bring all the
other powers together in the most dis
astrous war in the history of the
world.
Kaimll Pasha says the present dis
turbance in the Balkans is but a pre-
Jude to a general conflict He pre-
diets that Austria will precipitate the
clash, and that the other European
powers will be forced to join in unless
they care to stand idly by while Rus
sla and Austria split the Ottoman em-
plre.
A dispatch from Constantlnople in
dicates that a revolution is threatened
in Turkey, but most of the Turkish
government officials scott at the re-
port Estimates of the killed so far
on both sides, as a result Of Turkeys
clash with the Balkans is placed today
at 1000
The Turkish and Greek fleets are
expected to come together soon in n
