The Prince Up in Alberta Prof. Carijde, ,who is well known in La Grande and who judged the-Unlon'SJoclr show for several years, Is making ready to receiVe' the Prince of Wales on the big royalty ranch which the professor is employed operate. .. . J! V Ut.i !1 , The prince has sailed for America and he did it without any fusspr pomp- He is a, democratic fellow and believes In having a good time in the world;' ; Almost everything that . is published iabout the Prince of Wales reveals him as a most Jikable chap democratic, ffood-jiatured, fond, of Americans..'.;, A London cable of a few' days' ago, for example," told of1 his inviting an Ameri can banjo'plnyer to visit; orie' of thie royal -residences and play rfor him. The prince, the story goes, took part in the entertainment by beating, a drum. - Another cable of the sums day mentioned ttiftt.'jbe; prince 'chose an American , performer, Nora Hayes, as his dancing partner in opening a bail.-'- ' 1 . Y'V" ;.'- " : 'Vf royal hijjjsi Ijj ifiPrtngHh, Jested. Strips late i tnts month on a holiday.; ; He, wants no. fuss and ceremony. There-is no question that' he wili be immensely popular. One might get the impression that all that the prince . is concerned with is "having a ood time." He seems for ever to be merely playing and going, on junkets. The fact ' to, Jiowever, that what seems to be play is really his work. jHe promotes good feeling. His j visit to the United States J is hot just a pleasure, trip.' It will help strengthen the 'friendly relations existing between Our' nation and his. Movies .However much one may decry the pernicious influence of the movies as exerted through films depicting in an . alluiintr1 light scenes of crime, vice and' villainy, it must he admitted that they aie Mso a potent . factor for good. This" phase of motion pictures id strongly suggested by a 1ondon dispatch telling of an expedition which is about to set' forth in an effort to obtain "animated views of the Sahara desert. ... ' ; t ;. ' There are parts of this vast expanse' of barren land which .have never been filmed because of the dangers that' beset .travelers. An Englishman famous for the travel j pictures whick he has taken Jn remote places is now going! to attempt to photograph the dangerous area of the Sa-! . hara. ! Ho takes the position that moving pictures of the I desert cannot be considered as complete until this part h;us also been portrayed. With the aid of his brother he hr.s already taken 30,000 feet of film in the Sahara. They have, been at the task two years and have spent $G0,000 ,vn it. But there remains 400 miles yet to be traversed, if the series is to be comprehensive, and ho is undertaking the journey, though nine white men, according to the Lon don' cable, have already perished in previous attempts. Pictures isuch as these have educational value. They enabje millions to enjoy the benefits of travel in the wild est regions without risk and at negligible expense. All the Nvorld is being filmed, and the pictures are bringing home to us, as nothing else could save an actual trip, the appearance of the various countries, the life of the inhabi tants, their customs and manned. . v We have an enormous advantage in this respect over the poopln who lived before motion pictures were- in vented. There is scarcely a boy or girl who does not have a fairly vivid and accurate idea, of numerous places of which he had only a vague conception until he saw them in the movies. ' .

Springfield News: Along the wa tera of the Arkansas a few duys ago, near Sand Springs, Okla., an unusual gathering was held. Thou sands of Indians met to discuss tribal and racial affairs and form an organization, tho purpose- of which Is to provide a mean by which tho affairs of the Indians in America may be taken cure of in a business like and practical manner. Primitive dances of their fathers were engaged in and the smoke from camp fires drifted oft in all directions with the chaugiug wind. Jn other days the parents of these present tribesmen .were accustomed to seek the fastnesses of th Arkansas river and here his tory was made. There is no more romantic period In our history than the one, which Is couple' with the life of the Indian. Men do not have to be, very old to recall tho days of advent urn with wandering Indian tribes. Gradually the new-born. civilization lias driven the red man into reser vations, but It hus not entirely Im poverished him. You will find in many parts of the country Unlay -Indians worth hundreds of thou sunds of dollars, acquired through, jsale of rich oii lands. Is it little . U(aur. in stances there should have been or ganized an association to protect ;tho Indian. l'ew or the tribesmen possess any business ability und all of them recognize the need for pro tection from the smart white men w-ho In sojiic instunces. would not let his conscience hurt him If he took away from - the , primitive American all thut he now possesses.
