Commercial Club Advises
Congress of Conditions
at Chemawa Indian School

ut intends to pursue its policy of Civ
ing its Indian children a good cduca
tion, teaching them the way of civiliz
ed life, to appropriate the necessary
money to make some of the old build
ings more sanitary, homelike am
hcalthful; to improve the grounds and
surroundings so they will compare fay
orably with the state institutions VI
this community; and to erect few new
fire proof buildings, which are needed
to make a complete and efficient &c
ucational plant.
Among the new buildings we believe
the government would be justified IN
furnishing, is a library to cost in tnC
neighborhood of $5,000.00. We believe
this would be a good educational in
vestment. At present small room N
one of the buildings is used for the
purpose of stacking up several thous
and volumes.
Another new building needed is ar
administration or office building, We
were surprised when we entered tine
dingy suite of rooms in a very old build
ing where the business of the school u
transacted. II is an old wooden build
ing, the floors are rough and uneven
The structure was evidently built for
some other purpose. There is no fire
proof vault in the building. We believe
suitable fire proof building could be
constructed for $4,000
We believe new'obuilding is alsr
needed for vocational and indsstria
training for girls. The present one Ii

Washington, Nov. 2S.-The British
refusal to grant the new Austrian am
bassador, Count Tarnowski, a safe con
duet surprised authorities here today
though they said this government could
do nothing about it.
The state department had merely no
titled the allies OF his coming without
asking safe conduct. The refusal tc
give this conduct is regarded in dip
lomatic usage as discourteous, but no
an affront which would involve any

FOOD IN GERMANY IS
SCARCE AND DEAR
Prices Are Quoted Showing
Increases and Difficulty
In Securing Eatables

The following letter from Germany
received by relative of the writer,
speaks for itself, says the Portland Ev-
ening Telegram:
The past two years ] have written
you many letters and sent you many
packages of newspapers, but have re-
ceived no answer. | hope from day TO
day and week to week but do not hear
from you.
My dear children, during this war
we are having an awful time, such as
we have never before experienced.
In my old age must live in wan'
and in sororw.
You will be surprised to know wha,
everything costs here. A pound OF
bad potato bread that is hardly fit to
cat, costs II pfennige (4Rc). We can
only have three or four pounds per
week and this only with governmen,
tickets, and unless you have a ticke.,
you cannot buy anything, even il you
have money.
E's wife has bought two six pound
,oaves of unstamped bread several
times week at marks 80 (95c) u
piece and it is very poor bread at thar.
Some two pound loaves sell for l marx
50 (39c). We can't eat much bread
and piece of butter costs l mark and
30 pfennige (45c). We can only buy
a quarter of a pound of butter a week
a person, even if we offer to pay =
thaler (75e )for u piece, we cannot get
it.
We can only buy ono quarter of q
pound of meat week and beef costs
9 marks 40 to marks 80 (60 to 65c)
per pound and pork costs 3 marks OC
90c and veal the same.
Now you can see how everyone must
lose weight with such food and how
people are suffering from hunger here
A pound of vile tobacco, that in fac.
is not tobacco at all, costs marks
so (63c) a pound. l smoke dried black.
berry leaves and you can imagine. wha;
q taste and smell it has.

Completion of Alaska
Railroad DELAYED

Seward, Alaska, Nov. 2s.--Delays in
construction will prevent the compile,
tion of the government railroad between
Seward and Fairbanks before 1920 OF
1921, instead of 1918 as contemplated
Captain Frederick Mears, of the Alaska
railway commission, said here today be-
fore departing for Washington, ID. c.,
where he will make his report.
The tracks along the Turnagain arm
between Seward and Anchorage will
probably not be completed before 1918
instead of 1917. Rough weather and
delays in obtaining supplies supplies
are responsible for the delay, Mears
said.

DR. MAST1N INVESTIGATES
AND REFUTES NASH'S STORY

Norfolk, Va. Sept. 6-Rev. ]. r.
Mastin. secretary of the State Board
of Charities and Corrections, made
a statement yesterday regarding the
case of George Nash, a white man.
aged twenty-seven years. now at Union
Mission. who Is totally blind. and
who alleges that he is so because of
failure to receive proper attention at
the convict camp or at the peniten-
tiary.
Mr.. Mastin, who has made a thor
eugh investigation of the case OF
Nash, finds nothing to justify the
charge that the man was neglected
by either the penitentiary or the pris-
on camp authorities.
On the contrary. Mr.. Mastin says
the man had made no complaint OF
his eyes There was nothing in their
outward appearance to indicate any
disease and he had been treated for
stomach trouble.
He has been sentenced for various
offenses and as a second-termer W. :
liable to five years additional The
new law, which took effect three
months after adjournment of the re-
cent Legislature, leaves 1t to the dis
erection of a Judge whether the five
year penalty shall be imposed
Nash is said to have relatives In
Georgia or Kentucky. Mr. Mastin
will seek to get in touch with them
in an effort to provide for mis- future
For the past month he has been S2red
for at the Union Mission.
