A Working Girls Advice

Missouri is now investigating the conditions
of her working girls and women, with the end in
view of establishing a minimum wage of So per
week. The keenest interest is being shown by
these workers in the investigation. Many have
testified before the committee, some in DISCUSSES
they will not be recognized by their employ
ers, and hundreds of letters have been written to
the investigators.
One of the most interesting of these letters
was written by woman who for eighteen years
labored in ST. Louis factory. 1t is full of COM
mon and very practical. She says, in part:
THE very trouble among working in
cities incompetency. Manufacturers require skilled
operators but they get them Hence they employ
unskiled help and pay-say 81 week This was So
before the St. Louis Exposition Unskilled help usually
ruins goods worth than the wage during the
apprenticeship. Ask any Missouri employer of women
if it would be profitable him to employ skilled
help at So week than unskied help at 81 and he will
tell you yes.

the first class in goat judging ever

Oregon Agricultural college as a part
of the short course instruction.
A small herd of six head of fine
registered Angora goats has been
loaned to the college by A. NJ. Gray
of Philomath for class purposes, and
proved to be interesting demonstra $
ton material this morning. 1t is ex-
pected that, as the work develops
the college will acquire a small herd
of good animals to be kept on the
college farm for class and demonstra-

Besides the instruction in goat
judging, there will later be work in
the feeding and management of goats

Will CELEBRATE
To OBSERVE INTRODUCTION
OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH
Father Joseph Caruana. the First
catholic Missionary Among the IN
dians of Pacific Northwest, Will Be
Central Figures i'm Cclebration-
Came so Years Ago.

Spokane, Wash, Jan. 2S.-Father
Joseph Caruana, first Catholic mis-
sionary among the Indians of the Pa
cific Northwest and recognized as the
founder of that faith in what was
then known as oregon, will be the
central figure in the celebration this
fall of the fiftieth anniversary of the
planting of the Catholic faith in this
part of the country.
Fifty years ago. on October 10,
1868, Father Caruana baptized 70 In
dian children and five adults. all
members of the Coeur d'Alene tribe.
the baptism being held on the spot
where the Northern Pacific railways S
passenger station now stands in Spo-
kane.
In this connection facts of import
ance to the history of this part of the
country have been learned through
an investigation by Father George r.
Weibel of Gouzaga University. He
learned that Father Caruna. at the
head of a band of twelve priests.
found his way to the Spokane river
falls in the early SOS. Father Wei
the first baptism of Indians in the
Pacific northwest was conducted at
the site of what is now Spokane in
October 1863.
So far as is known here Father Ca
ruana is the only one of the band of
pioneer priests now living. After
completing his work with the tribes
around Spokane, he went to De Smot
Idaho, where he founded the first
Catholic mission in this part of the
country. The mission still stands,
and the aged priest. known to the
Indians as Sosep and patriorch priest
of the tribe Is still the leading spirit
of the community. He is 20 years
old.
The president and faculty of Con
zaga University, in Spokane are now
planning a golden jubilee to com
memorate the planting of their faith
here. and Father Caruana will have
a large part to play in the ceremo-
nies.
