The American i pleased to acknowledge the receipt of a pamphlet "On the Straw berry Industry on the North Pacific Coast" from Colonel Hofer, of Salem, Oregon. This pamphlet, is contributed to show that the establishment of the strawberry industry in Oregon is a very remunerative one, and the Col.mel states: "that there is no fruit, the cultivation of which will bring greater returns of pleasure and profit to the grower, whether it le for the family table, the local market, or for shipping or the cannery.'; 8! ra wherries seem to grow with out, an effort iu Oregon, both to the East and to the West of the Cascade Mountains. The lecture given by Rev. St. Pierre on Persia, last Wednesday was instructive as well as entertaining. He spoke of its peo ple, their costumes, their villages, their modes of travelling and the, cruel treat ment practised by the higher on the poor er classes of people of that country. We are pleased to enter on our list of ex changes, "The Messenger" published by the students of the Wichita Kansas High School. "The Messenger" is certainly a very fine publication in every respect and a credit to the Institution. We regret to learn that Superintendent D. D. McArthur, ofSiletz, Oregon, is going to leave us and go to Fort Mohave. The association with Mr. McArthur has been pleasant in the extreme, and he has con scientously endeavored to advance his In dians and the interests of his pupils. He has sent to Chemawa the past year an ex cellent class of pupils, realizing that it was their individual interest which were to be looked after. --!-- We regret to announce that ex-senator Dawes died on the 5th of this month. Mr, Dawes served 36 years in Congress, the longest, continuous legislative work of any American. He was always a faithfnl and constant friend of the Indian and the father of the Dawes Severalty Bill, and he has done as much as if not more, than any other legislator toward the advancement of the civilizatiou and education of the Red Man. The Educational bill, a copy of which we published last week has been favorably reported by the Educational Committee of of the house, and bids fair to become a law. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon the Hon. Frank Davey, who has fathered the bill, and is looking after its interests. It is encouraging to think that we live in a country where we have a perfect Government, insured justice and liberty, and many other blessings, which we enjoy in qui- every day life. We notice that the Indian Appropria tion Bill as it passed the House authorizes' the education of 50 native Porto Eicans at the Carlisle Indian School. ' We regret to have to announce tbe death of Judge D. M. Browning, ex-commission- er of Indian Affairs, who died at his home iu St. Louis on the 1st of this month.
