State Prison Commission yesterday
Warden Patrick Hayes admitted:
Il did turn a 5O-pound pressure
hose on some prisoners in their cells
/ did make them sleep on their blan.
kets on the stone floors of those cells
afterwards. There wasn't four inches
of water in the cells, but they were
undoubtedly damp.
''The men were beating at their

contamination by bathers from their
own number
For a long time past Walla Walla
has taken her water supply from Mil
creek in oregon, and to cancel the
obligation, has returned the water
laden with sewage to the oregon side
through the medium Of the Burling-
hame irrigation dltches Having an
objection, however, to having the wa
ter polluted before they get II, they
are protesting about the practice Of
Wala Walla campers in bathing IN
Mill creek above the city intake.
Years ago a law was adopted in
this state for Walla Walla's benefit
prohibiting the pollution of an Ore
gon stream from which a city in an
adjoining state is taking a water sup
ply, Under this law, the Walla Wal
la water superintendent and the Mil
ton constable yesterday arrested three
women and two men campers. who,
II is said, had been bathing In the
stream.
This morning they were taken into
the Milton justice court and the
three women and one man bound ov-
er to the tmatilla county grand jury
under SIS bail City Attorney ]. P.
Neal OF walla Walla represented Dis
trict Attorney Steiwer.
p Inasmuch as Walla Walla must
come into a local court and secure
the local officials in order to protect
their water supply from their own
bathers, Il is being suggested that
that city in keeping with her past
policy, should emulate Pendleton By
producing a public swimming pool so
that her citizens will not have to
drink the same water in which they
bathe and bathe in the same water
they drink.

Mr. and Mrs. Hardison motored and
thence to San Diego. They declare
that the San Diego exposition is d
collection of beautiful scenes which de-

from memory. Mrs. Hardison says that
the flower exhibits alone are worth
the transcontinental trip for a vision
of them.
BY easy stages they returned north
to San Francisco, a distance Of 534
miles, and visited the San Francisco
exposition. 1t is not generally under

are two great expositions in Califor-
