State Warden Says DiSci-
pIine at Prison Improves,

MoALESTER, Okla. Dec. "a
(SpcciaD-InSpircd ty Governor vii.
liamS' parole policy OF rewarding
good condu, with clemency, every
man in the peniientiary here will be
gin the new year with a firm reSolu-
ton to live exemplary prison lives
according to Warden s. /. Morley.
Value Inestimable.
1T is impossible to estimate the val
ue Governor Williams policy has
been TO us in maintaining discipline in
the prison. said Mr. Morley.
Il believe discipline in the prison
here Is equal to il no, better than in
any other prison in the United States
This j, due in no me csr measure 70
the hope Governor N'llans' policy
has inspired.
mo matter What ideas person, ma
have on die Use OF patduUnr and
parole power, Won simply cen not de
Nroy hope NJ man who is IN prison.
When YOU destroy hope the man he
comes desperate. No amour, oi CON
troll, no matter how stringent, will
make anything else on, OF him He
must be made to know that hope is no,
dead that although he has erred. the
world is not against him, and tina, by
his own conduct he can prove himself
worthy OF being restored to his former
place among his fellow men,
Mono Disappointed.
Quite naturally there arc some
here who arc disappointed at NO, be
ing recipients Of clemency at this
time, hut they are not dishfar,ened or
discouraged. They still have hope.
They will enter the new year with a
firmer resolve to conduct themselves
IN such way as will merit clemency
later on
THE governors policy has done
more toward solving the problem Of
prison discipline and of reforming
these unfortunate men than anything
that has happened

PROSSER SELECTED
FOR STATE FARM
Board of Regents Votes to Ac-
cept Site for Experiment Sta
ti0n-T0 Raise $4,000

Prosser was definitely selected
as the location for the state ex-
perimental station by the board
of regents of. the State College
last week. The board voted to
accept the site offered contin-
gent upon the citizens of Prosser
raising $4,000 to begin the de-
velopment of the site. This sum
has been pledged by the business
men of Prosser and campaign
has been started to raise the
money.
The land proposed for the site
consists of 80 acres donated by
e. F. Benson and the Northern
Pacific Railway company with a
stipulation that $4,000 worth of
Improvement be done within one
years time. The board of re-
gents added another $1,000 to
this sum, making the whole sum
to be raised by Prosser, 1000.
This money is to be raised to get
the land in condition for planting
as the legislature did not make
an appropriation for such pur-
poses. That body merely stipu-
lated that an experiment farm
be located somewhere in this
state.
The board of regents has an
option on the adjoining 80 acres
which they can purchase at $50
per acre and F. M. Bothrock Of
fers an additional 65 acres at
about $3.50 per acre if more land
is needed. Altogether the whole
site is expected to eventually in
clude the whole 225 acres as it is
felt that this much will be need
ed to carry on the extensive ex-
periments that the state has in
hand. The land is now being tap
ped by canal and laterals and wa
ter is expected to be delivered
for this years crops.

NEARLY EIGHTEEN
HUNDRED MEMBERS
Eastern Half of Benton County
Went Well Over the Top in
Red Cross Campaign

In the Christmas Red Cross
membership campaign the east
ern half of Benton county exceed
ed its membership quota of 1850
by $40 members and its financial
quota by 1888.
,Tabulations of the results of
the campaign in this end OF the
county as forwarded to chapter
headquarters last week showed
a total of 1870 Christmas mem
|bers and a total of 1888 in re-
ceipts. The Kennewick branch,
exclusive of the Richland Circle,
secured 975 annual members; %
magazine members, and 2 con-
tributing members, making a to-
tai of 1905 new members and
$1O41 in membership fees. The
Richland circle contributed 319
annual and 6 magazine members,
a total of 325 members and 1881.
Thus the total for the Kenne-
wick branch was 1880 new mem
bers and $1372.
The up-river towns handled
the campaign in their usual eff
ficient manner and ran far ahead

with the farmers to the end that
their laterals and lands may be
in readiness to receive the water
early in the season so that the

This, together with proper cult

WAR LECTURER
HERE NEXT WEEK
John Lewtas Will Tell Interest
ing Story of His Visit to the
Battle Front

The local Lyceum committee
has at last secured a real war
lecturer for the sixth number of
this years course. John Lew
tas, war correspondent, traveller
and lecturer, will give his won
derfully interesting illustrated
lecture on the great war, Thurs
day evening, February Ia.
Mr.. Lewtas received a letter
of introduction from Governor
Withycombe, of Oregon to Her.
bert Hoover, in London, getting
very valuable information from
him and also from the Belgian
Staff. Mr.. Lewtas spent nine
weeks on the firing line, visiting
especially the battle plains of the
Marine. With the assistance of
one of the photographers of the
Royal Flying Corps, he was en-
abled to obtain a large number of
actual battle scenes, which he
had made up into lantern slides
in London, and therefore is well
furnished to give two hours of
intensely interesting and in
structive phases of the World
War. During his sojourn in
France he was associated with
the correspondents of the Lon
don Times and the Daily Mail and
also represented an important
paper of the Pacific Northwest,
and has written a great many ar
ticles on the war.
Among the many testimonials
of Mr.. Lewtas' lecture are the
following:
Mr.. Lewtas gave the most elo-
quent description of the World
War ever heard by an Aberdeen
audience. His description of the
battle of the Marine is a classic.
-Washingtonian Post, Aberdeen
Wash.
Mr.. Lewtas' lecture in the M.
E. church of Salem last night
gripped his audience. Fluent
speaker, dramatic in delivery,
his description Of the torpedo
missing his vessel by a few in
ches, was thrilling. The Belgian
refugees and the great German
war machine was wildly pre-

lem.
Mr.. Lewtas will lecture here
as one Of the regular numbers of
the Lyceum course included in
the season ticket. The admis-
sion charge to those who do not
have season tickets will be SO
cents for adults and 25 cents for
children.
