But it is fair to infer that fur
ther reductions will follow.
There is at present but one
boat line on the upper river and
it is a small affair. There will
be other lines established and
these competing lines will tend
to reduce rates.
If freight hauling barges are
found serviceable on the Co
lumbia it will be possible to
make a very heavy cut in rates
because the barges are operat-
ed much more economically
than ordinary steamers.
In the reduction already
made the inland empire gets its
first glimpse of the benefits of
through navigation on the Co.
lumbia. The result is encOur-
aging and should stimulate our
farmers and businessmen to do
all within their power to make
sure that the full advantages
of the open river will be forth
coming.

THE PAY OF PRISONERS

ia OW prisoners shall be en-
~ ployed and what they
- shall be paid-if they are
to be paid for their work-as
well as what shall be done with
the amounts they earn is one of
the perplexing questions of
present day penology. The
economical folly of sending a
man to a penal institution,
meanwhile leaving his family
to work out their own saliva
ton, is coming to be better un-
derstood and it would not be
surprising if within a few years
provision to meet this situation
will be fairly general. A SYM
tom of this is found in the fact
that committee A of the Am
erican Institute of Criminal
Law and Criminology, of which
Municipal Judge w. N. Gem
mill of Chicago is a member
has been studying the subject
and has reported to the insti-
tute.
"Many of the states in recent
years" reads part of the re-
port, "have enacted laws pro-
viding for the support of wives
and children who have been
deserted, by arresting and SEN
fencing the delinquent to some
class of labor which will bring
a return for the support which
the state metes out to the de-
pendents. Most of this work
is road work or the making of
road material. California had
such an act passed in 1911, but
has never enforced it; Pennsyl-
vania, in 1907, granted the vari-
Gus counties of the state the
same privileges of working the
inmates of county jails upon
the roads, even for greater Of
fenses than enumerated above,
but only three counties have
ever been known to make use
of this privilege since that time.
'The above system seems to
be the connecting link be-
tween the present and the fu-
ture when all inmates of all
penal institutions will be COM
PEELED to work. The laws in
nearly every state in the union
requiring separate and soli-
tary confinement have lately
been either modified or re-
pealed and prisoners are now
allowed to congregate for the

NJ HOUGH the rainfall dur
VI ing a portion of the late
fall and in January was
far below normal Umatilla
county has had sufficient rain
this spring as to bring the total
rainfall almost up to what is
normal for the rainy season.
There is now a shortage of
only one and a third inches for
the season since September l
and for 1915 the precipitation
has been a half inch ahead of
the normal.
This situation is as favorable
as would be conditions had the
weather been normal during

spring rains are more benefici-
al than winter rains. An inch
of rain when rain is needed is
worth more than two inches
when there is moisture to spare.

~ NSSS~S ~NNSst
In the presence OF a large and bril-
liant audience, under the most aus
picious circumstances, with the larg
est enrolment in its history, the
1915-1916 term of the city and County
High School was opened at the hand
some new $4,000 building this morn
ing.
Exercises, simple but impressive,
with addresses, music and an invoca'
ton Of the divine blessing marked
the Anal consummation Of an object
so long and so devoutly wished for
by the people Of tht county. The new
school building. complete in every
respect and adaptec for the great
work for which II was planned, was
formally dedicated TO the cause Of ed
ucation.
The scenes in the school this morn.
ing were spring. The spacious au'
ditorium, one of the largest Of the
kind in the state, was packed with
students and citizens. On the stage
we're seated the mayor, members OF
the city and county boards Of educa'
ton, ministers Of tho gospel, asd Sen
ator William r. Webb, the speaker OF
the day.
The address Of the distinguished
and life long educator from Bell Buck
lie was the feature Of the event. II
was an earnest, eloquent and convinc
ing plea for education. He declared
that the returns from an education fol-
for a boy Or girl were beyond compu
tation. Money spent to equip boys
and girls for the problems of life was
the best spent monev that had ever
been invested. He spoke from the ex
perience of almost half century. He
spoke from heart that has been fill
ed with love for humanity and Cspec
