state penitentiary, escaped at 7:s0
o'clock sunday morning by cutting
his way out through one Of the base

have found no traces Of him.
Baldwin, who was sentenced from
Clatsop county for robbery has madc
constant trouble. AT one time he cut
former Warden Mimic after refusing
TO obey the Iutter's orders. Minto

die Baldwin roughly ana finally re-
sorted to hosing him. This act was
responsible for Mlnto's discharge as
warden Of the penitentiary.
When Warden Murphy came into
charge, he treated Baldwin mildly,
and later made him a trusty. Last

distance of the prison, Baldwin es-
capped and was captured in Linn coun-

rounded by a posse of officers. the
trusty refused to surrender to Sheriff

MEANS STYLE AND
COMFORT.

AS the warm days approach
it becomes more and more of a
problem to appear well dressed
without sacrificing ones COM
fort.
A silk suit will solve this
problem for you. The thin,
cool material, made up accord
ing to the latest of Dame Fash
ions dictates, is itself dressy in
appearance. While the pretty
colorings, such as navy, blue,
Copenhagen, tan and grey are
light enough to be summery in
appearance and dark enough
not to show the soil.
A silk suit makes an ideal
garment for travelling and va
cation wear. You'll never
know the comfort of correct
summer style till you own one.
May we show you these at
tractive garments? Priced
from $3.50 to $4,000.
