pretty engraved certificates for the
money people entrust to yOu-and
nothing else? Is it true that we are
living upon the money of widows and
orphans who have trusted you? Be

on desperately, not daring to look my

my boys father.
Now see here, Barbara, l might

flies like Powers, call crooked But
they aren't up in modern business

You have enough to do to run the

Il read about that promoter-his
name was Carter, the other day. They
have arrested him because he sold
oil wells, stock in them when he didn't
even own the land. 1t has frightened

studied For 10 Years
DR.. McNabb studied the art of fox
raising for 10 years before he began
the enterprise here, he states. He
ohose to raise the silver fox because
no Overs art can reproduce the black
and silver stripes of the animal. They
are also more valuable than the red
fox. which can be dyed black in such
a way as not to be detected. silver
rox skines sell for as high as s1100.
Experiments show that the fur from
foxes raised on farms is even moro
valuable than that of the wild fox, for
according to actual tests. the animals
nave proven to be perfectly furred.
They do not injure their fur by CATCH
ing 1t in bushes as do the wild species.
While added advantage is found in the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-09-18

fact that they can be caught when the
fur is at its best, while II is not al
ways possible to catch the wild fox at
such time.
DR. McNabb says that according to
maps sent out by the department of
agriculture, Pendleton is in the zone
where fox growing is very feasible.
Weather Favorable Here.
1.-THE cold winters of Pendleton,'
said DIR. McNabb. "are an advantage,
as this causes heavy fur. The climate
Is really ideal for the raising of the
animals, The raising of foxes is an
interesting study, as 1t provides In
finite variety. The little bearers
respond to care and l enjoy the work.
Aside from this, fox raising is a pro-
fitable enterprise. Fer this reason I
have spared no pains in trying to
make my farm scientific in every
way, as l expect the farm to endure
and the business will be a permanent
one. am planning improvements as
time goes on

Crime Is Rare.

Crimes, even of a petty nature, are
very rare among the Indians of the
II Umatilla reservation when it is con-
sidered that there are nearly 1900
Il persons under one jurisdiction. The
natives are a we'll behaved and law
abiding group on the whole and there
/ is only a nominal amount of work for
| the police to do. OF major crimes
there are very few, there having been
I but one murder committed on the res
! ervation in the last 10 years In the
I last 6 years there has been no muir
der and only one other serious crime
necessitating prison sentence.
| Crimes which are punishable by
the state or federal courts are taken
I out of the jurisdiction of the Indian
court and dealt with in their proper
place. Indians found on the reserva-
ton with liquor in their possession
or those who have committed seri-
Gus offense are handled'in the federal
courts and occasionally they are con-
victed and forced to serve Jail sem
tences outside the reservation.
The total prohibition of liquor has
served to lessen the number of Indian
OrtenSeS very materially lHe iePoiI
of the superintendent says. With the
liquor traffic cut to the bone, the In
dams are spared the contact with the
class of whites who formerly traffick-
ed in liquor and they are seldom en-
gagged in a fight or brawl such as usu-
ally followed a few drinks. The scar
city of liquor has boosted the price
above what the average Indian can
afford, also, and even substitutes are
hard to obtain now.
Despite their low salary. the Indian
police have been effective in assist
ing to stamp out liquor and related
scourges among their people. 1t lis |
understood that they are to receive |
a. bonus this year which will make |
their pay $32 a month.

One FOX Escaped
One fox, with the slyness that is
Characteristic of its kind, escaped some
time ago and has never been seen,
leaving the original stock of eight
reduced to seven. The foxes are full
of tricks; one of which is to gnaw
in two a rope which pulls cover to
hide hole dug in the ground by the
foxes.
A life of luxury and ease is led by
the fur-bearers. The diet of the ba-
bies consists mostly of sweetened milk
but the grown-ups after a breakfast
of cooked oatmeal and milk, with a
dog biscuit for variety. are content
with such delicacies as chicken and
rabbit, with green grass as the salad
course.
The rabbits and chickens, by the
way. are raised on the farm by DR..
McNabb, and food costs about $50
a year for each fox.
Have Individual Tubs
Each fox bathes daily in individual
bath tubs which are one of the fea-
lures OF the 16 pens. These pens
are enclosed with wire netting and
contain wooden houses which are
lined with fur and provided with
tunnels. In each pen is mulberry
tree and an elderberry tree. for ber-
ries tickle the palate of Mr.. Fox.
Eight cherry trees have been planted,
so that cherries from one tree win
fall into two pens. Grape vines which
will turn the farm into a veritable
arbor in a few years are now well
started, and will provide a means of
satisfying the proverbial fondness of
the foxes for grapes.
DR.. McNabb says he gives the ami
mails the best of care possible, and
thinks that they are responding to his
care. A comparison of weight reveals
the fact that the average weight of
a fox is from to pounds. but the |

Three Shifts of Police Guard One Judge
Imposes Penalties

II oLICEMEN in the big cities who
are unionizing in order to OBJ
tain a better wage have no kick
coming when the salary paid on
the Umatilla Indian reservation is
cited in comparison. The guardians
of the law and order there receive a
salary of $50 a month from the gov
eminent and their beat includes
not a few city blocks nor precinct
but the entire reservation of some
10000 acres. They take their sal
airy, all of it, without particular COM
plant about the high cost of living,
sole leather, etc, because such mat
ters are not vital to them.
The Indian police system on the To-
cal reservation consists of the same
number of operatives as the Pendle-
ton police system namely, three po-
licemen and a judge. The ''coppers''
are tried and true Indians who look
after the general well being of the
entire district, while the judge, cho-
sen by the Indians themselves, is a
veteran of the force, Cap Sumkin,
who was one of the arms of the law
back in the sos. Sumkin is the tri-
burial before whom petty cases are
brought.
The Indian police and court is an
institution in vogue in all reservations
in the country. 1t is comparable to
the police and Justice courts in our
judicial system, and only cases un-
worthy of attention in the state or
federal courts come before this court

, fenses are handled by the Indian po-
lice. Niolators are arrested and
their cases heard at the weekly ses-
sion of the court, which is held at the
council room at the agency headquar-
ters Monday mornings. The judge
rules according to tribal laws, of
which the three tribes on the reser-
vation have well developed and long
established code. There is open but
one method of punishment for the
crimes coming before this court and
that is by fines. The fines are turned
over to the superintendent to be de-
posted in the Indian funds at Wash
ington- There is no provision for Jail
sentences.
Cap Suml<in Judge.
Sumkin as Judge. is accepted as
thoroughly competent to mete out
Justice, he being one of the oldest In
dians on the reservation. He has liv-
ed there ever since it's establishment
IN 1855 and was one of the original
police and in that time there were
seven and often more on the force.
Today there are but three.
Because the remuneration on the
police work is small, few of the In
dians will take the responsibility.
Those who do are obliged to be on
duty only part time, although they
are always subject to call. One man
is on duty for one week and on mac
tive duty the other two weeks. Each
officer serves full time one week in
three and during his time on duty he
must ride over the reservation to note
all is well. He is empowered
to arrest anyone found stealing stock,
gambling, having liquor in his posses
sion or committing other crimes
against either the Indian customs or
those imposed by the Indian depart
ment.
