nounced that she will not stand for re-
election because OF i'll health. She has
been Sir OsWald's mainstay in the
House of Commons during recent
months
The first plank In his campaign plat

workshop instead of talkshop," giving
the National government or any other
u fair chance to carry out policy OF
"yigor and action"
Tomorrow is both the British payday
and dole distribution day and this week
the new dole rates are in effect. Work.
erS who actually work and those who
. don't will go home tomorrow night with
even fewer pence than on their last
payday.
Three pence. or six cents, more will
be deducted from the wages OF some
8 100000 workers TO help pay Tor the
dole Even more will be missing from
the weekly benefits handed over the
counter to the unemployed.
The houSemaid and the farm hand
will be unaffected. But the waitress
and the mill hand will feel the latest
pinch in the governments economy
campaign.
With his income thus reduced fur

have merely high tea"-a light supper
that is-awaiting him.
$4,000, coo Workers Included.
Approximately $4,000 600 workers are
included III the employment insurance
Scheme as the dole is called ofhcially-
everybody. including women employed

domestic servants and certain white
collar employees.
The unemployed numbered 2825.772

including 500, 600 women, some married

Up to this week the employed have
been contributing IA cents weekly in
the case of men and II cents in the
case of women to the employment in
Surance-or dole-fund. The employer
paid Is cents per workman and IA
cents per working woman.
Now employer and employe share
alike. each man paying 20 cents and
each woman IL cents. The state pays
the rest.
On the same basis OF exchange. tbs
adult man ION the dole" will receive
1886 week, instead Of S4.08, as for

woman has been cut from $3.50 to 324

dole remains the same-48 cents.

A BIT OF OREGON HISTORY

Here in the territory one of the early incentives to the effort for statehood was the desire that Oregon should be govern ed by officials chosen at home and from among home residents. There was a feeling among our people, who had enjoyed home rule under the provisional gov- ernment that they should be al- lowed to select their own terri torial officers. There was me- -morial to congress to that effect on one ocassion.
 General Joseph Lane, the first territorial governor, who was sent on from Indiana, seemed to fit himself rather readily in- to affairs here and was popular but with the change in national administration which came soon he was succeeded by Governor Gaines, and Gaines was unpop- ular from the start. Right there party politics reared it's head for the first time in Oregon. It has heen with HIS ever since. The

There came quickly another demonstration of the popularity of the otficiol pie counter. Under democratic administration the democrats were all for continuance of the territorial status and the Whigs wanted statehood. Under whig administration and whig gov ernor the whigs wanted Oregon to remain territory and the de- mocrats demanded statehood at once. Human nature was human nature and pie was pie, in Ore- gOn as elsewhere.
 Four times the question of statehood was submitted to the voters of Oregon and three times they voted it down before state hood was finally approved by the majority In 1854 it was vot- cd down by a majority of 859. In 1855 the hostile majority was 415. In 1856 it was 249. In 1857 the proposal carried by the

TOTEMs RECENT ARE
 OF ALASKA INDIANS
 SAYS ANTHROPOLOG!S7

Believe it or nOt-the Indians of the southeast coast of Alaska have been carving totem poles Tor less than 250 years. This Is the statement made in Juneau by Dr. Alexander GoldenWeiSer, interna- tionally known anthropologiSt who formally occupied the chair of an thropology at Columbia University, and is now a member of the tac- ulty of the University of Oregon reports the Juneau Empire.
 What do you think of pr. Hrdlicka's theory of the migration of people from Asia to America?' was the question put to pr. Gold enWeiSer.
 Tt is no longer a theory" was the answer. we have ample evl- dence of this migration. There is no other way to account for the American Indian"
 "Mightn't they have come from the South Seas?"
 That's too far away. No, the American Indian - and that in cludes the ancient races of Mex ico and farther South-are the descendants of emigrants from Asia, who came by way of Bering Straits to Alaska"
 Totem carving is a compara- lively new culture among the All aska Indians" said pr. Golden Weiser. T think less than 25O years. We find no indications of totems in the excavations that have been made in various places. "
 Dr. GoldenWeiser believes that the migrations from Asia were un- der way before the first ice age The advance of the ice from the north may have been a factor in driving them south, he said.

CREATES INTEREST

Our issue Of February 18th was en-

the article on conditions in Central
America as pictured by Prof. w. G..
Parkes. Prof. Parkes, for several years
principal Of the Burton high school, is
one of the most brilliant speakers the
Island has ever known, and since he
writes as he talks, needless to say his
story concerning the new environment
in which he and Mrs. Parkes are now
located was read with deep appreci-
alton by their wide circle of Island
friends
While Prof Parkes description of the
election was intensely interesting we
hope that ere another election takes
place that he will again remember that
the Island paper is good medium
for correspondence with the many who
have expressed the hope Of hearing
more Of the political and social con-
ditions Of Ell Salvador. and Of the
professors work in his new field.
