Tuskegee, Ala, Oct. 24.-Address-
ing the negro students. President
Roosevelt said:
1T IL "f Importance that the negro
b. encouraged 10 make OF himself the
highest type of usefulness. Within
the last two years industrial opera
tions in the south have so increased d
that there is scarcity of labor every
where, so 1t is the part of wisdom for
all who wish prosperity in the south
TO help the negro become in the high
est degree useful to himself and
therefore useful to the community in
which he lives. Ii is necessary to
train every available man by devel-
oping intelligence. skill. capacity and
conscientious effort.
Mercantile avenues to success are
overcrowded. For the present the best
chance for success awaits the intelli-
gent workers at some mechanical
trade or on a farm. Ignorance is tn.
costiest crop that can be raised in any
part Of the union. Every dollar put
into the education of white or black
yields rich dividends to the communi-
ty.
IT is to the interest of the white
man To educate the negro. but despite
II all. the white man does no perma-
hent good to you save as YOU develop
capacity for self-help. Young men
ana women of Tuskegee, you must
lead your fellows toward sober. indus
trious, law-abiding lives"

Unusual difficulty is being had by
the management of the high school
football team in securing games this
fall and as result the seasons work
is being somewhat retarded. At one
time ii was thought that games would
be played with both the high schools
of Portland and of Boise. However,
the latter team has now backed down
entirely, and the Portland boys have
all but broken off negotiations. Also.
the Baker City team showed signs of
disbanding for while, but is now
training and will meet with the PEN
dleton players at Baker some time
during November. Aside from this
game, there is only one more of which
there is a certainty, and that is the
one with Walla Walla.
However negotiations have been
taken up by Coach Smythe and Man
ager Goodman with Salem, Spokane,
and Lewiston, and it is ex-
pected that games can be arranged
with some of those places.
In view of the splendid showing
that the local boys have been making
there will be much regret if they can
not secure number of good games
for the season.

The public land investigation has
reached Umatilla county.
A camp of special land inspectors
has just been established three miles
south of Uklah, and the fences found
on government land are being ordered
torn down in wholesale lots Sur
veys are being made to determine
lines of all homesteads that are fenc-
ed.
II Is estimated that so miles of
fence on the public domain will be
torn down and rolled up in the south
ern part of the county, and that nu-
merous homestead filings will be can
celled or contested as a result of the
visit of the inspectors to that portion
of the county.
Photographs of residences" from
Pilot Rock to the Grant county line
have been taken and forwarded to the
department at Washington and a gem
eral investigation Of land entries is
now in progress.
In many places shacks worth from
S5 to so each are holding valuable
claims. Sonte OF these shacks have
been occupied by the homesteadeI
Some have not. Some of the resi-
dences" are habitable. Others are
painful sshams-counterfe houses, as
It were. with none of the comforts or
conveniences of modern architecture
in their makeup.
The government took its tip from
the statement of the East Oregonian
several days ago to the effect that
gamblers and saloon men of Pendle-
ton who, in the last election. claimed
to be homesteaders and registered in
the outside precincts. are this year
registering for the city election in
Pendleton.
Three inspectors are now i'm camp
at the headquarters near Ukiah and
have ordered down miles of fencing
which is found on public domain. They
are also taking notes on homesteads
located in that portion of the county
and II is thought to be the beginning
of a general investigation of land mat |
ters of this section of the state.
The story is told of "homesteader"
who runs gambling game in this city !,
that some time after he had made fl |
nal proof on his homestead he was
seized with a virtuous desire to look |
upon the land he had resided upon |
and cultivated
He drove out into the country TO !
inquire where the land was located. |
which he had entered, held and made
proof upon. He had never seen the
numbers of the land and did not know
where 1t was located and so he was
disappointed and came back with his
desire unsatisfied.
All such filings are to be rigidly in
vestiEated.

The remaining land there belongs to

The purchase of the land from Mrs.

matter because It desires to own the
land so that 1t may protect the water
supply while the city has been OBJ
