undcr Uncle SANS control,
lnade1uacy Of present prison facil-
itios is causing Attorney General Gre
gory no little concern. After recent
inspection of the peuitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth. ne announced that he
intended TO ask congress TO make fur-
ther provision for prisoners.
There are but three federal pen-
tentiaries Atlanta, Ga, Fort LeaNen-

A new one probably would be located
somewhere in the east. That would
strike a good medium, it is though,

zone Of the reasons why the fed
eral government should cease sending
its prisoners TO state institutions, ~
said the attorney general lis that the
paroIe law cannot be properly admin
istered unless prisoners are kept di-
rectly under the eyes Of government
agents Then, besides. this thing Of
scattering women prisoners all around
is bad generally
The need Of a special prison for
women was emphasized by the attor-
nev general. The possibility Of such
an institution being authorized is con-
sidered remote. yet the head Of the
department Of justice viii sound SEN
ument in congress on the point
Uncle sam has only about 40 out
OF about SEQ women in his own priS-
olA. There are approximately 500
males that the attorney general
thinks should be taken out Of state
penitenuaries.
Labor at federal prisons is a dis
tinct problem with the department Of,
justice. II the attorney general can
have his way all federal prisoners will
soon be turning out general supplies
for the government including equip
ment for the army and navy, such as
uniforms shoes and caps. Congress
will be asked to authorize this. The
scheme has worked well in Japan.
This is pointed out as another reason
back OF the plan for the concentra- |
ton of all federal prisoners in federal
places,
There are approximately $500 fed
eral prisoners in all and their com-
bined labor on supplies would save
Uncle sam large sums Of money.
A race to avoid being the last state

Of the pool has been turned over to
the city council and they are plan

on the generosity and good nature

While there is still over $1,000 due
the contractors and others, yet we
have sufficient unpaid subscriptions
and others in prospect, to practically
wipe out this Indebtedness. for which
the committee is personally liable.
When the financial affairs of the
committee have finally been taken

cancelled vouchers and a list of all
subscribers, will be filed with the

The complete cost of Pendleton's
public natatorium was $1O,699.93, ac-
ccrding to a report made by the
Commercial club committee which
had charge of the work OF that
amount S1,335.72 has not yet been
paid but the committee believes it
has enough in unpaid subscriptions
and subscriptions in prospect to wipe
out the balance.
The following is the report as
made by the committee:
August 10, 1915.
The natatorium committee Of the
Pendleton Commercial Association
appreciates the generous response
that was made by the people Of Pen
dlcton and surrounding country to-
ward financing the outdoor swim
ming pool at Roundup Park.
Had It not been for the almost
unanimous financial and moral sup
port Of the community toward this
worthy permanent improvement. the
city would not now be able to boast
Of the best outdoor public swimming
pool in the northwest.
Again Pendleton takes the lead II
successfully financing a public insti
tuition that will be valuable asset
and in which the entire community
cen feel that they have a personal in
