Have Left For Washington
u. G.. This week
Committee OF Five Also Accom-
panies The Commission.

We HE aware of the fact that Cato Sells
the Iudian Commissioner and Edgar b.
Merit, hia iifvt assistant are endeayoring in
eyery ray possible to harmonize the service
and the Indian toward the end that a better
understanding may exist and better feeling
toward each other prevail. These gentle
man are exerting every means at their COM
mand that such an end be attained. We
sincerely hope that their efforts will bear
fruit. But we ask the question, Scan it
be accomplished!' Our answer is it cah-
not so long as men of the Wooster type are
allowed to remain as part OF the service as
their very presence there has denioralizing
effect on the Indian service. We may even
say that thh service today is composed of a
large per cent of just such men both in the
Office and in the field, that carry on the
business under their jurisdiction in a high
handed manner and feel safe in the sodoing
as they are protected by the civil service
shroud and exempt from being expelled
from their positions. In years past invests
cations, etc. have heen conducted on, differ
ent reservations by selected officials of
the Interior Department, who were sup
posed to be fair and impartial men--what

JUSTICE AND SQUARE DEALING ;
We believe the present officials at the

ly way they can stop it is bya general clean
ing out of the Interior Department for just
so long as this 10 not done corruption of the
service will reign and the Indian will be the
oppressed nation that they always have been.
We also wonder Is our present rehearing on
this reservation to be whitewash and a

shortly know what it will be.

The Mclaughlin committee which has
been holding rchearings throughout this dis
trict for the past month completed their
labors last Friday at Ashland and left, ac-
companicd by the original committee OF
FIVE Indians. they will, we understand, fn-
ish their labofs in the Capitol City. We
learn that some time will elapsc before a
decision will b. given in these cases.
Yesterday council was held in the coun-
Gil in this village for the purpose OF select
ing committe of FIVE to 60 forward to
Washington to act in conjunction with the
five gone forward. The committee select
ed yesterday is composed Of Adam Scott,
ST., Chief George Messenger, Rev. ]. W..
Martin, Sabadise Cloud, and Ed. Haskins,
ST., with Antoine Couture as alternative.
These gentlemen leave tonight for the east.
/ It is claimed that the iehearings were not
entirely in accord with the orders of the
Commissioners as given to the delegation
last year and the delegation elected at the
council yesterday, composed ct members
Of the band, will attempt to show the side
of justice in the matter. Comparison inthe

positive that he would show his tiuegentle-
manly spirit as it should become an official
of the Interior Department. by apologizing
to people whose character he has attempt
ed to belittIe in the eyes of the said depart
ment. This Kind Of ''friendliness" shown
by members of the department toward the
Indian is good example of the feeling of
antagonism that exist. within the ranks Of
the said peoplc--the Wooster matter being
a good example. Just such remarks as his
toward the Indian is what lowers the esti-
nation Of the Department in the eyes Of tie
Indians throughout the country and Just
such men as him should be eliminated for
the good of the service and the. we'll being
of the Indian nations.

ASKS FOR
RAISE IN RATES
Wisconsin Railroads Petit
ion Legislatures
Asking an Increase IN Passenger Rates
To- I.2 cents Per Mile.

A petition was circulated in this village
last week asking the state legislature in ef-
feet to repeal the &c fare law. The petit
ton asks the legislature to make an investi-
CATION of the subject but the meaning is foi
the Legislature to repeal the present, law,
which will give the railroad commission the
power to revise rates according to eondi-
tions. On the first of March practically all
railrosds in the Northwest will boost their
pssssnper rates from z to ID cents. This
bp DIRECT permission of the inter state com
msree commission. The increase applies
only to interstate business. Unfortunately
for the railroads however there is an iron
clad law in Wisconsin and other state fixing
the rate of &c mile The railroads tay
that this law is TOO iron clad and that the
revision o. rates should be left in the pow
er of the state railroad commission.
The railroads claim that the number Of
passengers carried in Wisconsin in 1914 was
practically the same as in1907. The advent
of thousands of automobiles has cut in on
rsi,-oad troffic and for this and other reasons
there has been little increase in the passen-
ger traffic. On the contrary the cost OF
maintaining the equipment has greatly in
creased. Eor instance rhe weight of trains
now is about twice what they were seven
years ago and this weight will be increased
for within the next two years all wooden
pa. senget cars win be entirely abolished ahd
they will be all steel. For these and other
reasons they ask for an increase in rates.

Writer Cites Needs

Hood River, Ore, July q, 1915.
TO the Editor: 1t is encouraging to
see the matter of the Swimming
Hole" for Hood River taking such
practical shape, and the committee
that has haDdled the matter deserves
great credit for carrying it to so sue
cessful an outcome.
The location in the city park is the
only one where swimming place
could be properly regulated, and unless
1t is under proper restriction swim
ming hole will soon become a public
nuisance. Located in the city park
the city could, and properly should, as
slst financially in installing the swim
ming hole and see to the proper regu-
lation of the same when in use.
This can be made the beginning of a
public Fairgrounds in the city park, and
If little is added each year the eX-
pense will not be appreciable, while in
short time the city will have an up
to date public play grounds worth
many times thee ost to the city.
Now that Hood River has the Colum-
bia river highway, with good schools,
a good public library, with its match
less scenery and healthful climate, the
addition of public play grounds will
add to the city's other attractions, and
1t is believed will assist in locating the
additional industries which are neces-
sary for the future development of the
city. The low cost of power and low
transportation charges, by rail and
water, with other local advantages
make Hood River an ideal location for
Industrial plants. Taxpayer.

0.-W. Co. to Give Demonstration

Mrs. NJ E. King, who has had an ex-
tensive experience in the preserving of
fruits and vegetables for the home use,
will give a demonstration in the Com
mercial club hall tomorrow at 2.30 p.
m. Mrs. King has been engaged by
the O.-W. r. & N. Co, to give these
demonstrations over its entire line and
has already held Isuch demonstrations
in the Yakima valley, Walla Walla dis
trict and the Spokane territory where
she has met with tiattering success.
Mrs. King is not graduate of do
meStic science, but has a happy way of
telling the housewives her experience
in preserving and canning fruits and
vegetables for home use, which seems
to make a decided impression on the
ladies at all her meetings.
The O.-W. X. & N. Co. believes that
much good will be obtained through
these practical demonstrations and not
only will it increase the consumption
of all soft fruits tributary to the COM
pany's lines, but will assist materially
in making better and more contented
homes.
1t is expected that Mrs. King will
be greeted by a good audience.
