MORE OCCUPATIONS
IN JAIL REGISTER
THAN DIRECTORY

To the observer who cares to sean
it. the county jail register contains a
world of interesting facts. Not in
the suggestion of the stories of those
who have been unfortunate enough to
grace the interior of the Jail with
their presence, sordid stories, MANY Of
them, stories of hunger and priva-
tion-and then retribution at the
hands of the law. Others of men, de

or perhaps real and then felt the i'm
placable grasp of the law falling upon
them and saw the closing four walls
that shut out the sunlight and their
own freedom. And still others of
them, of men and women who strayed
from the paths set down by the law
and saw that same law brand them as
criminals and then decree their des-
tiny, many for a period of years.
Scores of prisoners have passed be
rcath the portals of the jail during
the career of Imperial county and the
occupations of those prisoners. given
before they became actually confined
presents an interesting array.
Almost every occupation Is repre-
sented on the REGISTER and some of
the professions.
The occupation of laborer can lay
claim to first place as the prevailing
occupation without fear Of infringe
ment on the claims of others. tn,
remainder is conelomeraton repre-
1enting practically every well-knowr
line of industry.
The occupation of cook or barbel
seems to be favorite, too. inter

Printers. new5papermen, authors
and journalists do not appear to bc

county jail from time to time.
Authors. however. are scarce

that the latter are in an overWhelm-

Possibly the nearest approach to
infringement on the medical profess

register was that of the confinement

who gave his occupation as a horse

Among persons of crudton who
have registered under compulsion the
occupation of school teacher appear
and another entry bears testimony 10
the fact that student fell into the
clutches of the law.
Gamblers and dispensers of intcm-
perate drinks have contributed their
quota toward adding variety, several
of both having been confined on va

Singularly enough, , peace officers,
whose duty usually consists in lock-
ing up other people, themselves have
experienced the sensation of clang-

perform on their fellows, have been
registered several times.

Wealth Supplants Weeds.


Columbus, O., Aug. G.--Abandoncd
and unused ground in Columbus has
been made to blossom forth into
wealth for poor folks. a few years
ago this land blossomcd only with
weeds. Under direction Of the city
recreation department $40 vacant lots
have been planted with gnrden truck
by children, and today this truck is
valued at $4,000. Parents Of these
children assist in many cases, and as
result the cost Of living has been
reduced materially for these folks. The
vacant land is donated by the various
owners.

as comprehensively represented by
them as by men who have registered.
Housewife seems to be the pre-
vailing occupation although two were

duo as nurses. Laundresses and dress

road contractors. HIS firm built con-
siderable stretches Of the FL Paso d
Southwestern railroad, notably a SO

point near Strauss.
In 1892 Mr.. O'Connor was elected TO
the position OF tax collector. He re-
NAMED in this position for six years
and was then. I'm 1898, elected county
treasurer. He remained in this posi-
ton for one term and, since that time.

bered that Il Paso is not finished

political office that Walter s. Clayton has
held. though ne has always been active
in civic affairs and has been president
Of the chamber of commerce, besides

Mr.. Clayton first came TO FL Paso %
years ago from New Orleans He en-
gagged in the brokerage business ana
later was appointed freight and pas
senger agent of the old Mexican Cen

He held this position for a number Of
years and, IA years ago, came to El
