DR., SMITH POSSIBLE DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR IN 1914

Dr. c. J. Smith. who recently re-
tired from practice in this city and is
planning to locate in Portland, is
prominently mentioned in a Journal
news story as a possible democratic
candidate for governor in 1914. The
paragraph relating to the former To-
cal man is as follows:
"In eastern oregon, DR.. c. J.
Smith of Pendleton is regarded as al
most certain to be candidate for the
democratic nomination. DR.. Smith
is very we'll known in that part of
the state, and would have strong sup
port He has already served term
in the state senate. DIR. Smith expects
rope and on his return will locate in
rope and on his return will llocate in
Portland"
At the resent time DR.. Smith is in
Chicago taking some post graduate
work and he is to leave within u few
weeks for London to take up further
studies there, Whether or not the
doctor has gubernatorial aspirations
his local friends declare they do not
know. BY some of them the question
was broached to him prior to his de-
parture, but he secuted the idea and
expressed more interest in the pro.
fessional work he contemplates doinl
than in politics.

CURTAIL SCHOOL
FUND FOR LOANS
NEW RULING IS MADE
No Loans Henceforth Except on IS
Per Cent OF Assessed Valuation OF
Propcrty-Ruling Will Not Seri-
ously Affect This County With AS
Sessments Nearly at Par.

As result of a ruling by the state
land board made a few days since,
the board will henceforth refuse to
loan state school money save to the
extent of rs per cent of the assessed
value Of the property given as Sc
curity for the loan.
Apparently the move by the board
was prompted partly by a desire to
force assessors to assess property at
actual value, as called for by law. A
story from Salem bearing upon the
ruling contains the following para
graph:
1T is thought the action of the
state land board yesterday in adopt
ing a resolution providing that no
loans on farm lands would be made
in excess of 75 per cent of the assess
ed valuation of the land offered as
security. will have strong influence
in causing farmers to see that their
property Is assessed at fair valua-
ton. The assertion is made that the
inequality in assessments prevails
more among farm lands than city
property.
The ruling is of Importance in this
county in view of the fact that some
100000 or 100000 in school money
is loaned upon realty in this county.
However the local situation Is favor
able in that the assessments in this
county come much nearer being at
face value than are the assessments
OF other counties of the state.

SWEEPING CHANGES ARE PROPOSED
IN INDIAN RESERVATION SCHOOL

AS a result of recommendations
made by Major Swartzlander, agent
upon the Umatilla reservation, a
sweeping change in the school policy
of the reservation is scheduled to be-
gin next fall The plan involves moth.
ing less than the abandonment of the
government boarding school at the
agency and the establishment of three
day schools at different locations up
on the reserve.
AT the present time all the Indian
children securing education from the
hands of the government are in at
tendance at the agency boarding
school. There are 80 such pupils now
enrolled. A large number of pupils
are also in attendance at the Catholic
Mission which institution however, is
under private control and receives no
governmental money, so it is not af-
fected by the change that is in pros
pect.
The pupils at the agency school live
there throughout the school year and
are both fed and clothed at the ex-
pense of the school. Under the day
school plan the pupils will live at
home and will be fed and clothed by
their parents save that the schools
may provide noon lunch for the
children.
So far has the proposition of aban-
doning the day school progressed that
Major Swartzlander has been asked
by the department to recommend

ed. or these Mr.. U'ren has already
announced his candidacy while the
TACT that Judge Dimick will again

Progressives who are thought to
have eyes on the governorship are
W. \. Carter, Portland lawyer and
l.. Nj. Lepper, also of Portland. In
view of the fact that the progressive
organization is to be made permanent
1t seems apparent there will be three
big candidates in the field next time
instead of two as heretofore.
The term of Governor West expires
January 1875. Whether or not the
governor will seek reelection is held
to be uncertain. despite the fact he
has frequently declared he will not
be candidate The Journal story
Is to the effect the democratic nom
ination will go to the governor for
the asking II he desirfes 1t and 1t also
declares it is generally conceded he
could be reelected if he would run
again.

three sites for prospective day school
buildings. He has reported fayoring
one school at the agency, one at Cay
use ana the third just south of the
Presbyterian mission on Tutuilla. 1t
is the belief of the agent that the
proposed plan will be adopted and
that the work will be started upon
the day school basis next fall
AS reasons in favor Of the day
school plan Major Swartzlander points
out that II will be much less expensive
and will have other features of ad-
vantage. 1t will mean placing the
Indian children on the same basis as
white children and the plan Is coming
more and more into use wherever
found practicable. Already many of
the children of the local reservation
are attending day schools though this
will be news to many local residents.
There. are 80 Indian children or mixed
bloods enrolled at Adams; 25 at the
Duffy school on the reservation, eight
at the Gibbon school and seven at
the Cayuse school,
What use will be made of the pres
ent well equipped school buildings at
the agency when the new policy is
put into effect Major Swartzlander
does not know One of the build
ings will seemingly be still used as
school and it is more than probable
that one of the brick structures will
be taken over for office purposes by
the agent.

WANT BRIDGES
AT MISSION AND
THORN HOLLOW

To induce the government to con-
struct bridges across the Umatilla
river at Mission and at Thorn Hollow
is one of the ambitions of Major Il,
l.. Swartzlander and he suggests that
the Pendleton Commercial Association
may be of much assistance in secur-
ing these improveme
1t is pointed out by Major Swartz-
lander that bridges across the river
are much needed at both points men,
toned above. At the present time
the only bridge upon the reservation
is the one at Cayuse, constructed by
the government several years ago at
an expense of about $4,000. Bridges
at Mission and Thorn Hollow would
prove almost as beneficial as the Cay
use bridge owing to the fact there
is considerable north and south trav-
ell on the reservation. particularly
during harvest time 1t is felt bridge
near Mission would be particularly
beneficial.
According to Major SwartZlander,
he will lay the matter before the In
dian bureau to see if the bridges can
not be ordered. 1t is his opinion that
an endorsement of the plan by the
Pendleton Commercial club would as
sist the move.
