Lane Is on the right track when he advocates "standing the Indian on his own feet" In his annual address is the belief of Major Lee Moor house, former agent on the Umatilla reservation. Major Moorhouse In a statement this morning declared himself heartily in sympathy with the secretary of Interior's proposed line of action, stating that from his knowledge of the Indians he believed they would best bo helped to attain a high citizenship by being treated less like children and wards and more like reasoning humans. That part of Secretary Lane's ad dress referring to the Indians Is as follows: "It la the judgment of those who know the Indian best, and it is my conclusion after as Intimate a study as practicable of his nature and needs, that we should henceforth make a positive and systematic effort to cast tho full burden of Independ ence ond responsibility upon an In creasing number of the Indians of all tribes. If, year by year, a few from each of the tribes can be made to stand altogether upon their own feet, we will be adding to the dignity ot tho Indian race and to their value as citizens." : - : (LAMER ICAN REDCROSSfl ZZTZZ tSB SCABE OVER F00I AND MOUTH Wwm DISEASE DISPELLED BY "VETS" Of 12.500. new residence buildings erected In the Boston Edison com pany's territory during the p:ist four years $700 are wired for electric lighting afternoon until Christmas special sales will be held at the Peoples Warehouse, the Alexander store, Sayres and at the post office.

Tho tiro Is believed to have been of in cendiary origin. What for a time was a thoroughgo ing scare over foot and mouth dis ease was dispelled at Echo yesterday when two experienced veterinarians from Portland Inspected a band of cattle and found the ailment with which they suffered was not the dreaded disease against which the federal government haa been so rig Idly quarantining. The cattle belong to Henry- Black well, were purchased In the John Day country and are being fed near Echo In preparation for the Portland mar ket. Two days ago it was discover ed that many of the cattle were af fected with trouble of some sort. Out of 100 head 85 became sick and a feature of the disease was the fact that the cattle became lame.

However, those in charge were In doubt and In order to set all fears at rest tw0 veterinarians were sum moned from Portland.
