THE GOVERNOR AT THE HELM

Management of the state penitentiarw causes more
grief than all the other state institutions put together
Why is it?
If isn't trouble over msmanagement Of the aX is
trouble over the handling of wood contracts, some
thing else.
Governor Withycombe said he wanted something for
the convcs to do so the state board of control entered
into two woodcung contracts The convcts to cut
and deliver the wood needed for the state hospital for the
insane. The hospital depended on this fuel.
After piddling along all winter and spring and early
summer on one of the contracts the convict was
hopeessy behind and the prison management appeared
helpless to improve the situation So in order to protect
his institution from fuel shortage the coming winter
Superintendent Steiner was obliged to buy with state
funds auto truck and trailer and get busy deliver
ing the wood to the state hospital
On top of this failure, Governor Wthycombe an
nounced that he did not have any convcs hand to cut
the wood included in the second contract the state will
fail to realize that business DEAL which was made
especially at the request of the chief executive
Governor Withycombe has exclusive control of the
penitentiary

Company N Boys
Are Anxious for Mail

"&n Of US sure do watch for the mail
and are so disappointed when we do not
get letter"
This is the story of almost every sol
der in France writing to his home folks
III Oregon. They want letters and then
more letters and very few realize how
Tueh good it does when the soldier boy
gets a letter from home.
Private Elmer s. Olson Of Company
NJ, 162d infantry, writing to his folks
hving on rural route 8, begins his let
ter as above. He writes probably from
Nevers, on, the Loire river, as follows:
"I am a good piece behind the firing
line doing guard duty at one of the
large warehouses. I am IN a town of
$4,000 and the post where 1 am station
ed has a fine Y. M. c. A. If the people
back home really knew what tho Y.
NJ. c. A. is doing, they would never
regIet a penny they have put into the
cause.
I was a little sick few days ago
ana the Fourth family across the street
brought me some eggs and milk and
some Strawberries. They are awful nice
to us. The town I am in is on the Loire
rIver and it is sure a pretty river. There
is an old cathedral here built before
Columbus discovered America. There is
also large museum which has num-
Der of costly paintings and old things
the Romans used. I am hoping to travel
over France a great deal before l return
as it is certainly pretty and interest
ing country.
"All the boys in Company M are well
as far as know. Some Of them are de-
tached on guard duty. On account of
France having so many mountains, the
railroad trains are much smaller than
they are in the q. s., but they sure
make good time and the little engines
pull big bunch Of those small cars"
"You just can't realize how much
good it does me as well as the other boys
over here to get letter from home"

Bright's Disease No. 1.
BY ANDREW F. CURRIER, M. D.

This term Is commonly used for
a variety Of forms of intlammatory
disease Of the kidneys which were
described about a hundred years
ago by the English physician Rich

The proper term for kidney in
fiammation is nephritis which may
be an acute disease lasting few
weeks and often ending in recov-
cry, or becoming chronic with diff
ferent types and varieties lasting a
year or two and ending in more or
less complete recovery, or else con-
tinuing twenty or thirty years with
ups and downs, relapses and ap-
parent recoveries and finally prov

his grandfather and grandmother lived.
AT the big fireplace where his grande
mother used to sit, he saw American of
fieers, warming up from the evening
chill.
As he stood in the doorway he looked
just to the right, and there were piles
of sandbags in front of the entrance to
the cellar. The floor of the house was
about foot higher than when he knew
it. In every room unhewn trunks Of trees
foot in diameter were sunk in the
brick floor, and supported the eealing.
He went to the attic. More sandbags.
Two great layers were piled evenly over
the entire top floor. Then he looked
about at strange objects in the corners.
They were heirlooms, but so wrapped
that he could not recognize them at
first. Old pictures, woodcuts, old glass
flower vases-,everything that was dear
to him and to his father ana mother had
been carefully put away.
The little sergeant smiled. Being .
soldier he knew what all the sand-bsgs
the raising Of the floor, and the supports
meant. The house had been made as
safe as possible from she'll fire. 1t is

Marion county will get but little road work done
through the highway commission this year. "A New
Kicker" in Mondays Capital Journal suggests that it is
possible Marion county is to be punished for not voting
for the bonds and wonders whether the commission or
the governor is to blame It may be noted in this regard
that the county did not give its vote to the governor at

the increase but the striker Kerr has not had the

The doubling of wages in many occupations such as
ship building has had its effect the farms and will have
still greater as the days pass The extra wages
have drawn labor from the farms and the latter left

or losing their help entirely This will of course add to
the cost Of living and if the policy OF the last year is fol-
lowed this will another increase in wages and this
will again advance in the price of all foodstuffs
