GROSS INJUSTICE

Redskins Suffer Many
Prosecutions.


n S the result Of reports from
~ numberless sources, covering
IA a period of several years, the
United States government at
last is giving stern attention to the
relief Of prosecuted Indians. 1t has
been proved by thorough investigation
that the red men Of Alaska, the Unit
ed States and South America, com
prising all the races Of aborigines on
the continent, have been receiving Ill
treatment and have been exploited In
one way or another In an outrageous
fashion.

GUS In the news Of the past few weeks.
For instance, an expedition recently
returned from the Putumayo rubber
district of Peru with an official report
to Washington of the atrocities work
ed upon the native Peruvian Indians
by the English rubber contractors. 1t
is said the government may invoke the
Monroe doctrine In intervening on be
half of the red skinned sufferers. The
reports as to the latter are that they
have been more hldeously outraged
with torture and enslavement than
were the natives of the KOngo rubber
district of Africa.

Again, the government is taken to
task on its treatment of the Indians in
Alaska DR.. Emil Krulish, in the edu-
cational service in Alaska, reported
that the redskins were neglected so
that the government was virtually Inn
posing a cruelty on them. 1t is de-
clared they suffer ravages Of fell dis

The difficulty in obtaining potatoes
in that region is the cause of terrible

CATTLE MARKET FIRMER
Portland Market Report for Week
Ending June Is Has Hopeful Tone
For Choice Beef.

Portland, June 13.-(SpeciaD-
Receipts for the week have been
cattle 67j; calves 90; hogs 59O5;
sheep 1888; horses 27.
Cattle market steady to shade
firmer for choice beef. Good steers
sold during the week at $3.50 to
S175 and two loads went at $500.
Receipts have been very light which
has benefited the market The trade
IS unable to handle a larger number
Of cattle at the present time. but
good steers and cows are in fair de-
mand.
The hog market dropped 10 to 20
cents since Monday. Liquidation
has been very liberal and packers
are temporarily over supplied. $500
is an extreme top for prime light
swine and good ones are selling
around s cents. Until outlet chan
nels are opened the demand for
swine will show light improvement.
An unevenly lower market in the
sheep house. A light demand exists
for fat mutton and lambs but the
bulk of arrivals have been medium
and poor grade stock. Prime year
lings are selling at 1926, two year
olds at $500 and ewes $3.50 and
$4.75. Lamb trade has been a shade
easier. Best Mt. Adams stock fail

NO HORSE RACING.

Without entering into the merits
of the question as to whether Dallas
or Independence is best suited as &
site for the county fair, The OBJ
server would call attention to the
belief of many friends Of the fair
that horse racing should not be made
an adjunct Of the annual exhibition
Primarily the county fair is a schooI
fair, and the schools will always, ii
is hoped, take a prominent part in it.
To devote a large portion Of each
day to horse racing, is not calculat-
ed to enhance interest in the school
exhibit. 1t is too often the case that
q fair in which horse racing takes
prominent part, finally degenerates
into simple race meet-nothlng
more, and in time the agricultural
features Of the exhibit are overlook
ed and forgotten.
In planning fair grounds, so far as
this city is concerned, there has been
no attempt to provide for a race
track, and provision only has been
made for a field sufficiently large to
hold track and field events such as
the athletes Of any school might
wish to enter and, should the fair
come to Dallas, it is probable that
this feature would be emphasized,
as it is believed that more occasions
similar to the May meet held here,
are bound to result in general good
for the schools. The success Of the
exhibition last year in this city which,
by the way, was financed and cared
for entirely by the people of Dallas
without aid from other sources be-
yond the sum Of $500 contributed by
the county court, was mainly due to
the interest taken by the school chill
dren of the county, and it is to pro-
mote and increase this participation,
that the determination to continue
the annual exhibitions and make
them a permanent affair, was under
taken.
Race meets should have no part
in the consideration of the annual
county agricultural exhibit-if we
are to have horse races, they should
be held only on entirely different
dates, as the people Of Independence
have done for years. The horse race
is II form of amusement which many
people enjoy, and The Observer has
no fight on the plan-but it should
not be combined with the county
school fair.

Our friend George NIFTY, the Sa-
lem mail carrier who never taught
school a day in his life, whose
knowledge Of the educational system
is mainly superficial, and whose at
tacks have been aimed at the home
credit system as handled in Polk
county, has been using valuable space
in the Portland Journal of late. For
the benefit of the gentleman, his at
tentiOn is called to the fact that
every one of the pupils from the
schools of the county where the home
credit system was used, and who
were eligible to the eighth grade,
passed the recent examinations sue
cessfully, and the average for the
county for the year is $40. NIFTY
will have to print his slush in some
newspaper further away from Polk
county than Portland, if he expects
the people to believe it.

NEED OF UNION SHOWN.

1t appears that other communities
recognize the need Of fruit union
if the growers are to receive the full
benefit of their crops and secure for
them the higher prices that concen-
tration and cooperation will guaran-
tee. The Elillsboro Independent, in
a recent editorial, directs the grow
ers of that locality to the advantage
such union would bring them, in
the following language:
Strawberries equal to the finest
that ever grew-big, luscious fellows
that made two bites-were retailed
in Hillsboro Monday at five boxes
for % cents. On the same date it
is claimed that the demand for ber-
ries was strong in Vancouver, B. c.,
at So per crate. But HillsbOro grow
ers had no arrangements for supply
ing the Vancouver demand. There is
the same object lesson found in too
many lines. Had even 10 growers
formed an organization, sought out
a market in advance and made ar
rangements to place the berries where
they were wanted by those who lack
the fruit and are willing to pay for
it, il would have been supplied and
the growers bank accounts would
have been fattened. In season and out
The Independent has preached coop
erative marketing. for It believes that
until intelligent and businesS-like ar
rangements are made in advance for
disposing of products the wonderful
possibilities of Washington county
soil cannot be fully utilized "

College Hen Excels.

The result of a college training is
shown in the egg production of hen
owned by the Oregon Agricultural
college, which laid 90 eggs in 1O8
consecutive days. This animated
egg machine is three-quarters White
Leghorn and one-quarter Barred
Plymouth Rock and is a descendant
of long line of heavy layers bred
at the college experiment station. It
is expected that the results of the
seasons experiments in breeding
poultry for egg production will be
embodied in a report which will be
of much value to practical poultry
men.

Dairy Business Grows

That the dairy business in Oregon
is growing at a tremendous rate and
that in value it far exceeds the
state S next largest crop-livestocE
is the statement of State Dairy and
Food Commissioner Nickel in a re-
Gently issued buslletin. The value of
dairy products for 1912 was $19,-
100000 while that of livestock was
$12,000,OOO. Prospects for a mater
ial increase this year are good.

and there was great disappointment
when it did come. 1t is admitted
on all sides that the present schedule

There Is no question regarding the
attitude of the great majority of
Dallas people with reference 10 the
new train service-they do not like
it. The only way that passengers
from this city can make the trip to
Portland without a change Is by
means Of one train a day-''the Polk
hills grapevine" which leaves here
at , O'Clock daily. There are many
advantageous connections which can
be made. however. for Portland and
for other points, but they all call for
change Of cars. and some of them
require two changes. The early hour
in which the Portland newspapers
arrive here in the morning, and the
additional mail service on the Salem,

Here is the way a writer in the
Toledo Leader refers to Newport and
its environments: "The soft, sad
slush, of the Pacific on the west, the
green grassy bluff on the north, and
the high towering mountains in the
distance on the east, make a most
picturesque appearance. Now we
accept the "high towering noun
tains" because, forsOoth, mountains
are supposed to "tower," and we'll
stand for the "green, grassy bluff
as it has been conclusively proven by
the most careful research that "gras-
sy bluffs" are usually "green," but
we simply can't accept that "soft,
sad slush" stuff as applied to the
Pacific on the west. " There is no
sad slush" about the Pacific, unless
it be the poetical effusions of numer-
ous embryo rhymesters who have
been known to hurl their enraptured
words at it in the past. 1t is all
right to spring the "restless ocean"
and the trolling deep" and the
"heaving billow" but "soft, sad
