MAIL ORDER HOUSE
GREAT ADVERTISER
Two Carloads Of CataIogs
Sent Here for Distribution
Postage $1,S96.45

A check for $lS96.45 was received a
few days ago by Postmaster Hucke-
stein, in payment of postage on cata-
logs from an eastern mail order house,
to be mailed locally and into the sec
ond and third zones.
The shipment of 27OO catalogs to be
sent within $50 miles of Salem, is
shipped by freight in two cars, and
the $lS96.45 worth of postage the
house paid, was for shipment by mail
from Salem under special permit
whereby the catalogs are distributed
and mailed from the freight depot.
An this isn't all. The same house
makes this large shipment annually
and in between times sends out few
hundred more. The mail order house
sending these catalogs will not send a
second unless there has been enough
business received to justify the ex-
pense of printing and mailing the
catalog, all of which indicates that
this one house is receiving business
from 27000 families within a distance
of $50 mile from Salem. The city and
rural routes from Salem receive more
than 1000 of the catalogs.

A statement of finances pertaining to
the state s flax venture was filed, show
ing that to date the loss accrued is

provide that in order to secure proper
data the commission be given access to
all prison records and be authorized to
hold appropriate interviews with any in
mate, employe or officer of the institu-
tion.

as the principal problems that have
arisen in the conduct of the peniten-
tiary: Efficiency of administration
along lines of modern penology, the re;
ligious work and liberty of chaplains,
the parole officer and his relations WITT
prisoners within the walls, the desir-
ability of Il new unit FOR the segrega-
tion of first offenders and the estab-
lishment of industrial work and indus
trial education for them, and the ad-
visibility of establishing the prison
further out into the country upon a
larger tract of land, operated by pris-
on labor, so as to make the institution
as near self sustaining as possible.
On motion of State Treasurer Kay
consideration of these resolutions was
indefinitely postponed.
