A QUERY.
A report of a recent endeavor to as
certain the minds of some very young
school children in this city on the sub
ject of Thanksgiving may be of interest
in these days of physiological research.
With Professor Gamier at work in
the forests of Africa on the language of
apes, Signor Lombrata on the cries and
baby talk of infants, the thoughts and
expressions of the little fellows who
have hut recentlv learned to use the
mother tongue, should surely be worthy
of philosophical consideration. This
was the day after Thanksgiving. The
teacher having carefully explained to
them the Thanksgiving idea, called
npun them individually to know what
reason each had for being thankful
The responses were prompt and inter'
eiii; Number one, turkey; two,
liirkry; three, turkey ; four struck out
a new line of tbonght : "Because I have
a little baby sister at home." This was
a euuuestive line of thought, and five
gave '' Because I have a sister and a
brother, and be is here!" Evidently
this one did not prize her blessings the
less because they had been some time
given. Then followed "turkey," broken
l.y one small damsel who said addition
ally : "Because we had turkev tnd
drr ssing." Then comes the wee Dorothy,
who, in a voice clear as a bell, said : "I
have a little sister at home, too." The
next speakers were not so highly fa
vored, and so returned to the original
idea of turkey; all but one, who evi
dently thought she was saying the cor
rect thin, "Because there is a God."
Does the very gieat prominence given
to the subject of good eating refer to the
fact that these little humana are but
little more than animals, and that nei
ther soul or affection has made, aa yet,
much of a start? or does it mean that
truly all are largely dependent upon
their stomachs for their greatest enjoy
ment, and that these little fellows have
not learned to conceal that physiological
fact? Or, still further, does it mean
that, like sheep, they simply followed
the lead the first speaker happened to
give? We see examples of this tendency
in convention's of older persons. Men
are but children of a larger growth, we
are told, and the progress of the devel
opment from the purely animal to the
statesman, the poet, the philosopher,
' the man or woman of successful achieve
ment,' is always one of absorbing in
terest.
and there is a general bending to the
oars, one must stir himself to action or
be left behind.
That is the present situation. The
South and the Southwest have organized
and equipped for persistent and ener
getic immigration work. Not only this,
but as a result of the recent convention
at St. Paul, the states of the upper Miss
issippi valley are organizing and raising
funds for this work. Unless the people
of Washington, Idaho and Oregon exert
themselves, and press their claims upon
the intending immigrant, they will be
deprived of a bearing, and the states of
the Pacific Northwest will get only euch
immigration aa may break through the
organized lines to the east. .
Governor McConnell of Idaho ia also
expected to take timely action. That
state being divided by an east and west
range of lofty mountains, its immigra
tion interests could be beat advanced by
two conventiona one at Boise City in
the south, and the other at some point
in northern Idaho. Otherwise one of
these sections would have insufficient
representation, because at a single con
vention, either at Boise in the south, or
some town of the north, the attendance
would not be fairly balanced.
These state conventions should be
supplemented by vigorous action by the
different towns and counties. Here in
Spokane the Bureau of Immigration,
which has done excellent and public
spirited service, should be given sub
stantial financial support. It is working
on broad lines, and has been an important
factor in the return of prosperity.
It needs to be understood that a great
deal of money will be required for this
work of attracting immigration. Liter
ature should be circulated by the ton,
and exhibits ought to be collected and
displayed in the large centers of the
East. We have here the country sought
by the eastern immigrant, but it is nec
essary to inform him of that fact, and
then prove it. Spokesman Review.
THE PROGRESS OF THE INDIAN.
WHERE TRADE HAS REVIVED.
IMMIGRATION.
Governor McGraw should call the pro
posed state immigration convention ;
the (fathering should be held east of the
Cascade mountains, and Spokane should
send to it a large and energetic delega
tion.'' , ' ' '.,': , ' .-.
The time has come for action'. When the
other fellows are lying upon their oars,
onecanbe excused for taking bis ease;
bnt when the period of inaction is over,
Speaking of British foreign trade this
year to September 30th, the London
Economist said :
"There is, for instance, a notable drop
from 66,661,000 to 62,978,000 in our
imports from the United States, due
mainly to the smaller quantities and
lower prices of the wheat and flour we
received from thence.
"Turning now to our exports the out
standing feature, so far aa foreign coun
tries are concerned, is an increase of
close upon 8,000,000 in our shipments
to the United States, which has been
spread over most branches of our manu
factures."
Thus during the first nine months of
this year under the Gorman tariff, Brit
isb imports from the United States de
creasea ny to,DOo,uuu ana exports in
this country iucreased by 8,000.000,
the net trade gain to that country being
tl 1,683,000 for the period, or at the rate
of 73,000,000 a year. This does not in
clude profits made through gold transac
tions resulting from our increasing debt.
The Wilson banquet should be supple'
mented by a testimonial, a gold plate
euitably inscribed with the services ren
dered to Britis-i trade by the un-Ameri
can professor. Economist.
There will be much disappointment
upon the Pacific coast at the decision of
the republican national committee to
ho'd the convention in St. Louis. The
people of San Francisco would have
given the delegates a kind of entertain
ment they would have received nowhere
else. The difference in time was the
great obstacle to the Golden Gate city
being chosen, and as the earth could not
be made to revolve the other way, no
human agency can be blamed for San
Francisco's defeat :-
To the people of the West the devel
opment of the Indian is an interesting
study. The last few years have seen a
wonderful transition in many instances
from the untutored savage to the intel
ligent, ambitions scholar and graduate
of our government schools. The Chron
icle publishes today a letter written by
an Indian boy at the Carlisle Indian
school in , Pennsylvania. Accompany
ing the letter is an explanatory
from one of the teachers at the Siletz
reservation, which reads aa follows:
Silktz, Dec. 10, 1895.
Editor CnRONCLE : J
The enclosed ia a specimen of what
the Indian can ' be intellectually. The
letter is from a Siletz boy (Jose Adams)
now at the Carlisle training school in
Pennsylvania, to bis cousin, a Siletz
girl at this agency, and as be intended
it for nothing more than a letter of
friendsbiD, I know that such a destina
tion was farthest from his thoughts
when he wrote it; but I am so interest
ed in the welfare of the people with
whom I have, been living during the
greater part of the past two years that I
think the production too remarkable to
remain for her observation only. She
has kindly consented to let me "send it
to you for publication.
The letter itself is a remarkable one,
and shows how the Indian mind is tak
ing hold of ideas that u few years ago
were beyond ita reach. The interest
which the writer takes in football simply
goea to prove that he ia like the other
young men of bis generation'. The let
ter is neatly written, correctly spelled
and aa a single bit of evidence of the In
dian's progress, is . a satisfactory one.
The Chronicle ia glad to publish it.
Carlisle, Pa.
Dear Cousin: If I remember right,
I received your letter not long after 1
bad written you. I was real glad to
hear from yon, as I am always glad to
hear how you are and others there.
I am at present kind'y pressed a little
in my studies on account of reviewing
what we've gone over during the term
and preparing for the fall term examina
tion. Then it is I often remember the
old home away out to the land of the
setting sun, where, perhaps, if I had
neen, I would not have to rack my
brains over books. These tbonghts
come only when 1 feel depressed and
cornered, which I do not think danger
ous, for after reflecting a little, it would
give additional vigor and determination
to peruse the subjects more definitely.
I am glad to say that I am well, al
though I bad a little attack of. cold and
some pain in the aide, which caused my
absence for at least a week.
Our band has re-organized, and is
making fast progress. . Our foot-ball
team is now disbanded. The last game
wa3 with the New York City Y. M. C.
A. team on Manhattan field in New
York, Our boys defeated the team by
a score ol ib to 4. we were very suc
cessful in that line. The papers praise
our team, and the team of red men will
in a few years be the champion of the
inter -collegiate foot-ball . contest of
America, which we now hope and cher
ish. The boys first played the Pennsyl
vania college at Gettysburg, defeating
tuem in a fair contest, and then plaved
the athletic club of Pittsburg and de
feated them by a large score; then ac
cepted the scheduled cinteat from the
University of Pennsylvania, and were
defeated on Franklin field in Philadel
phia by a large score ; but an exception
The team of the U. P. ia one of the
strongest teama in American colleges of
touay, so mat we did not expect to win,
but only to give them a hard battle for
the victory. So it "-ae, the Philadelphia
papers declared, the strongest team the
old William Penn sona ever faced. Our
next game waa at New Haven, Conn.,
with the Yale University, the grandest,
largest and oldest college in America.
Our boya were again beaten;, but this
time by a small score. Then a game
with a local Y. M. C. A. team at York,
Pa., where our boys gloriously defeated
the York by the overwheminelv score of
42 to 0. Then came Bucknell Univer
sity, in which we were again thrashed,
but not bad. So that tbis year's season
of foot-ball contest for us ended with a
good move towards gaining foothold on
tne American soil aa an equal with all
nationality of the civilized world, which
we have long been deprived of.
People begin to know Indians as be
ings not only capable of attaining the
attire of civilization, bnt also competent
in all respects of further bettering the
intellectual functions, which are so es
sential in this age of the world. I am
an enthusiast in the line of promoting
the idea of your abilities. I am fully
aware of the fact that thousands of peo
ple think Indians as a whole are only a
set of animals with no reasoning power.
We, the better class of that inestimable
race are dying to see the day dawn
when we will be recognized aa a part of
people who have a voice in the law
making and welfare of the community.
I Excuae me, dear cousin, we can only
note i nope tnai we win iooi ana frustrate ine
idea ny showing ourselves as we are
now doing.
Miss M. S. Barr, the head nurse,
sends her love to you. She is in every
way my adviser and helper; one to
whom I can safely say I look to as a
mother. She takes more interest in
my welfare than I can describe. . When
I left here to get work on the farm she
cried herself to almost despair in the
fear of my probable difficulties. But I
assured ' her of my knowledge of farm
ing, so I had consent to go. From this
you ran see how good and faithful she
ia.- Of course . I mind to be good. So
pleaee send some word of recognition of
her when you write. '
My regards to all. Good bye.
P. 8. Probably this will "be a funny
letter to vou ; but I wrote only what I
felt. Tell al! that I am well. I will
soon have my holiday vacation, then
will tell von of smaller details of news,
For the present I will close, with much
love, trom your loving cousin,
Joseph

As showing the result of Commis
sioner Roosevelt's efforts in giving New
York better police protection, the fast
is significant that Dr. Parkhnrst has
found it safe and wise to withdraw the
agents of the city vigilance committee
from the detection of violations of law
He testifies that the police give all pos
sible aid, and are no longer partners in
the profits of law-breakers. How great
the change from three years ago !
The attempt in the house of repre
sentatives to impeach Mr. Bayard will
not amount to anything. His offense is
not serious enough to warrant such pro
ceedings, though he well deserves cen
sure for his utterances. Bayard haa
ceased to properly represent Americans
at the court of St. James, but seems
bent on courting popularity with the
English. If Mr. Bayard decides that he
prefers England to America there will
be no dissent on tbis side the water
William Waldorf Astor, the A m erica n-turned-Englishman,
has not lost all his
feeling for America. On Thanksgiving
day, by his orders, there waa provided a
feast for newsboys in New York City,
at. which hundreds of hungry urchins
were fed. It is a custom of Mr. Astor'e
to give this Thanksgiving dinner yearly,
thus catrying out the wiahea of bia wife,
now dead.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.
Heppner Gazette : The woolen mill
project is being agitated quite freely in
Salem and if the required subsidy can
be raised the mill recently destroyed by
fire at that place will be re-built. The
Dalles would like to have this industry
at that point, bnt it is almost an assured
fact that Salem will get it. . ;
La Grande Chronicle: There is talk
of a suit to enjoin officials of Baker
county from paying scrip of that county

county is abont $200,000 and this large
sum nas nearly all been piled up by ex
travagance doling from the public'crib.
It is now a difficult matter to call a halt,
because the county is compelled, in
many instances, to pay unusual prices
for supplies by reason of the heavy dis
count from the face of ita scrip.

Missouri ia a state of wondeiful diver
sity of resources. It has a central situ
ation, great transportation advantages
by rail and water, and ia eventually go
ing to become one of the chief manufac
turing states in the Union. This is the
influence that has caused it to throw off
the bonrbonism of half a century and
swing into the doubtful column. The
time is coming when Missouri will be aa
strong for protection aa Pennsylvania,
and sending the national convention
there next year will hasten the political
change. The dat&fixed for the conven
tion is none too early.. The people must
remember that this ia a popular govern
ment, that great issues are pending, and
that thev can not learn too much about
the political affairs ot the nation. Great
as are the business interests of the
country, it roust not be forgotten that
their prosperity depends upon wise
statesmanship, and that wise statesman'
ship must come from a full and free dis

Henry Bill arose and in a few words
proposed the name of The Dalles Com
mercial and Athletic Club, saying that
from conyersationseld with several
