when the following amended resolu.
tons, introduced by State Treasurer
Kay, were adopted:
Whereas. il is well recognized
fact that the buildings of our peniten-
tiary are old aud, in present condition,
will not permit the institution of a
modern system of pedagogical work,
and
"Whereas, it is advisable to have
some well prepared and up to date plan
for real constructive work, and the
change necessary to place the same in
to practical operation at the Oregon
state penitentiary, therefore be it;
Resolved, that nonsalaried com,

Salem came very near being real
watermelonless town today. There are
plenty of watermelons in California
and the Yakima district but there is
that shortage of ears from which Ore
gon alone suffers. The Salem Fruit
company was fortunate in getting one
of the three ears that arrived in Port
land yesterday. But if the ear short
age continues and if that impending
strike materializes, there will be no
eating of melons in this part of the
country next week. Moral: Eat while
the eating is good.

The Governor filled his appointment
here last Saturday. He came on the
ll:30 train and returned on the 4:30.
He spoke in the courthouse at |
o'clock, occupying something over an
hour. The court room was filled,
some even standing. 1t was a repre-
sentative crowd, with good sprinkle
of ladies' and a number of republicans.
Candidate Stockard, for the Senate,
was introduced by Judge j. c. Hous-
ton, and made a few minutes talk be-
fore the Governor was presented by
Judge Houston in a complimentary
speech of five minutes.
The Governor was in good trim and
made very mild but impressive
speech. He has a pleasing address
and classical appearance His speech
was a part only OF his hrst profound
speech which was published in full,
and doubtless read by most of the
voters of the state. But his delivered
speech filed in with some good anic-
dotes, is not near SO dry as when
read.

with few outbursts of applause.

close.

royal reception.
HOOPER LINES UP INDEPENDENTS
Governor Hooper is making it
warm for McKellar in Middle Tennes-
see. He is speaking in no unmistak-
able terms Of his opponent right in
the strongholds of Democracy, and
getting twice the crowds that Nc
Kellar is getting, and the Independ-
ent supporters of old days are lining
up with him daily, everywhere he
goes. So strong is the sentiment in
favor of Hooper that the Tennessean
and American, owned by Senator
Luke Lea, raps the former governor
hard in an editorial published Sunday,
obeying the call Of the party to check
Hooper if possible, as he gains daily
in this section. The Tennessean says
that he is a rank Republican (which
he has always admitted) and that he
was a partisan governor, and that
Independents should not support him
on this ground. That they should
stick to the nominee of the demo-
cratic party. But Independent Dem
ocrats of Middle Tennessee need no
advice about Governor Hooper, they
know his record, and all he asks is
that they consider that, and then
vote. He is using his persuasive
powers to the best advantage, and
every speech is delivering the Inde-
pendents to his candidacy. adv
