MILTON PEOPLE PROTEST

ING ON THE UPPER
WALLA WALLA.

MILTON, Ore, Jan. S.-A petition is
being circulated praying the govern

sheep on the mountains at the head
of the Walla Walla river. 1t is claimed
that the sheep destroy the vegetation
which conserves the water .~ppiy,
thus doing irreparable damage to
water users in the valley below. At
torney G. T. Goodwin has the matter
in charge and hopes to obtain the sig
nature of every water user in the
Walla Walla valley to the petition.

COUNTY SHEEPMEN
NOT SATISFIED WITH ALLOT.
MENT WENEHA RESERVE.
Probable That Protest Will be Filed
With Secretary of Interior
Will Meet Jan. q.

That Washington sheepmen were
given land in Oregon to which they
were not entitled, when the Weneha
reserve was divided several weeks ago
is claimed by many sheepmen of UNA
tilla county. When the land was ap-
portioned at that time, the basis of
the division was presumed to be the
former use of the range and the own
ing of adjoining land. Those who had
land bordering on the reserve or in
the vicinity and had previously used
the range, were placed in class A,
says the East Oregonian.
However, the arranging of the
classes was left largely to a commit
tee of II, of which the majority were
Washington men, and it is claimed the
division was not made according to it's
merits. According to one sheepman,
class A, as arranged, really consisted
Of the committeeman and their
friends rather than those who held adj
joining land, or had been using the
range previously.
So great is the dissatisfaction over
the manner in which Umatilla coun-
ty men were kept out to the advant-
age of Washington growers, that it is
probable a protest will be sent to the
secretary of the interior AS the

WIscoNsIN's SYSTEM OF PUBLIC
DAY SCHOOLS FOR DEAF
CHILDREN.
Joseph n. Miller Making Persistent
Effort to Have Same System
Adopted Here.

Wisconsin's system of public day
schools for educating the deaf is prov
ing to be a splendid success. The oral
method of teaching is followed and
the main purpose is to so deal with
train and educate the deaf that they
shall be as much as possible like
hearing people To accomplish this
the deaf must be treated and talked to
as hearing persons are treat
ed and talked to from earliest infancy
throughout life; kept in the same en-
vironments and in constant associa-
ton with hearing people and given
equal training and advantages. DIR.
A. G. Bell, inventor of the telephone,
did much to persuade the Wisconsin
legislature to pass a law providing
for the oral method of teaching deaf
children. Dr. Bell advocated the pol
icy of I-eeping deaf-mutes separated
from one another as much as possible
during the period of education and in
contact as much as possible with hear
ing and speaking children of their own
age. He contends that by segregat-
ing the deaf in state institutions and
by teaching them language different
from that used by hearing people, the
congenitally deaf are led to intermar-
ry and to produce deaf offspring
thereby forming deaf and dumb va
riety of the human race. In a system
of public day schools and the oral
method of teaching, DR.. Bell says is to
be found the most practical remedy
for these sad results.

deaf are an integral part of the public
school system The right of the peo-
