It Is Building Air Castles of
immense Indian School,
WOULD BEIM OUTSKIRTS OF CITY
Xnstltatlen Nott ia Operation at Cae-
naarra. Or., Ia Largest ea PacLao
Ceaat, and Ever Will.Be So
Way Tal Ia Trae.
"WASHINGTON Dec 8. The City of-Ta-coma
is again building air castles. This
time the ambitious citizens see visions
of an Immense Indian school, propor
tioned after the school at Carlisle. Pa..
gcblhg up on the Puyallup reservation, ia
me outsorts or Tacoma. But when they
take the matter ud In earnest, and the
"Washington .delegation undertakes to
have such a school authorized, they will
And. that -air castles and Indian schools
are built on entirely different Dlans. and
of much more substantial material, which
Is difficult to secure.
Ac a matter of act, the Indian School
now In operation at Chemawa, near Sa
lem, Or.. Is the largest Indian School on
the Pacific Coast, and will always re
main so. It Is doubtful If It will ever
reach the proportions of the school at
Carlisle, lor there will not be the de
mand for such an Institution. Its course
of study 1s Just as complete, and Its
teaching as thorough, the only difference
beir.s; In size.
When the new dormitory at Chemawa,
lor which Congress appropriated 520.000.
and. the Industrial building, for which
$6000 was appropriated, have 'been com
pleted, both being under way, the Salem
school will be remarkably well equipped
In all of Its departments, and will be able
to comfortably accommodate Its enroll
ment of 500 pupils, just one-half the en
rollment of Carlisle.
Chemawa Is delightfully located, hut
foui miles from Salem, and possesses an
advantage not had at Puyallup, In not be
lne surrounded by an Indian reservation.
The advantage of this to a modern In
dian school need hardly be enumerated.
"When the Indian youth attends a school
removed from his home, from the older
Indians and from all the marks of a past
civilization, and mingles with the whites,
sees their ways, and has the benefit of
associating with them, he is so much
more likely to adopt their ways than If
schooled among the old Indians, where
he can constantly go back and continue
in their ways, as at Puyallup. Up to this
yar there has been trouble with the
drainage of the vicinity of the Chemawa
School, but the swamp lands have since
been reclaimed, and now the only objec
tion to the Echool has been removed. In
location, equipment and adaptability it Is
today without a rival on the Coast.
One of the features which contributes
to the superiority of this school is its ex
cellent plant, steam-heated, and build
ings, all modern in design and in first
class condition, many of them new.' fur
thermore, the grounds are ample
for teaching all the Important branches
of agriculture, while its climatic condi
tions are similar to all points west of the
Cascades
Aside from agriculture, the course is
the regular course pursued by all the
larger nonreservatlon Bchools throughout
the country. In its mechanical depart
ments, especially harness-making. Chem
awa has earned an enviable reputation.
It lb thought that a further appropria
tion of a feW thousand dollars would
render this school admirably adapted for
a much larger attendance than Is now
recorded, and officials In the Indian Bu
reau are free to express the belief that no
Indian school Increase Its attendance
above 600 at the outside, and. better still,
limit It to 600, as at present.
"When conditions at Puyallup are com
pared with those at Chemawa it Is easy
to see that the big Indian school of
the Pacific Coast will remain as at pres
ent at Salem. Puyallup Is a reservation
school, whose present capalcty is only
about 200. The scholastic population of
the consolidated reservations centered at
Puyallup, yet Its enrollment Is very low.
To put that plant In condition to cope
with Salem, not to say with Carlisle, as
is the hope of the Tacoma people, would
entail the expenditure of many thousands
of dollars, and It Is quite safe to say that
the Indian Bureau would not recommend
any such expenditure, either now or in
the future The record made at Chemawa
has ben most satisfactory, and the prog
ress at the school is very gratifying. In
view of the fact that the Indian Bureau
itself 's likely to sustain, the claims of
Chemawa as against Puyallup, there is
no hope whatever of building up a big
school on Puget Sound.
HAVE CONFIDENCE IN RAILROAD.
Residents Thlalc Trontdale-Easle
Creek Line "Will Be Built.
OREGON CITY. Dec 9. Residents of
Engle and Deep Creeks express great con
fidence in the rumor that L. Gcrlinger,
of Portland, will begin work early in the
Spring on a railroad from Troutdale and
extending through this section of Clack
amas County. Mr. Epperson, who has
purchased extensive tracts of timber land
in that section for Mr. Gerllnger, has
given out the word to his neighbors that
construction work will likely begin at an
early date. Repeated surveys have been
made, and It is believed that the pro
posed line has actually been located. The
survejed route would pass through In
the vicinity of Gresham and Powell's
Valley and would tap some fine bodies
of timber In the vicinity of Damascus
and Deep Creek. In fact, it Is reported
that homeseekers and locators are more
numerous than ever before In that sec
tion, looking over the field with views
of making purchases, on account of the
probable construction of a railroad. The
rumor ti current that Mr. Gerllnger will
use the O. R. & N Railroad bed to get
his trains out of Portland to Troutdale

at Coailagr-LeaTlalatare.
OREGON CITY, Dec 9. State Senator
I. L. Porter has in preparation a bill to
present to the next Legislature that will
provide for the taxation of the gross
earnings of Tallrpads, express companies.
Insurance companies, telephones and
other dividend-paying" properties, who
escape their Just share of the burden of
taxation. "While railroads are taxed for
the rolling stock and road bed. the other
corporate associations named have but a
minimum amount of property that can be
reached hy the present assessment laws.
As a result, manufacturers, merchants
and property-owners are compelled to pay
more than their Just share of taxation.
The bill to be Introduced by Senator
Porter will be similar to a law now In
force In Wisconsin, which practically
makes it possible to collect taxes from
corporations whose principal products are
money earnings. Special care will be
taken in the preparation of the bill, so
that none of its provisions will conflict
with the state constitution.

45ALEM, Or., Dec 9. The Associated
Press dispatches announcing today that
the census shows Salem's population to
be only 425S, has ciused much amuse
ment 1n this city, though It Is Tather a
melancholy laugh that Salem citizens In
dulge In over the matter. According to
this announcement. Astoria, Baker City
and Pendleton are all more populous
cities than Salem.
The census was taken very carefully
this Summer, and. In the main, by very
competent enumerators. After the enum
eration had been completed there were
some complaints and a few corrections
were made by Supervisor Winn, who came
here for that purpose It Is believed hero
that a mistake has been made lh count
ing the returns at Washington. If that
be not the case. It will be asserted that
the enumeration was not thoroughly
made While a large proportion of Sa
lem's actual population Is outside the
city limits. It is believed that the people
who reside inside the limits number more
than 4258.
President George B. Gray, of the fialem
Chamber of Commerce, said today that
there will be a meetlnc of that body In
a day or two and some action will prob
ably be taken looking toward a correct
tlon of the mistake In the enumeration.

CURIOS FROM PHILIPPINES.
Interesting: Collection of Military
Souvenirs.
Spokane Spokesman-Review.
The owner of the splendid collection of
military curios from the Philippine Isl
ands which has been attracting so much
attention ia the windows of John W.
Graham & Co., on Riverside, Is Captain
M. J. LinclC of Wardner. Captain Llnck
went to the Philippines with Company F,
First Idaho, and was in active service So
months, during 11 of which he was ar Cap
tain of the First Battalion. He takes
great pride In the collection, and ex
plained the use and history of the various
articles In detail last night.
"This piece of bronze Is one of the fin
est things In the lot," said the Captain.
"It was used as a Spanish card receiver,
and Is of great antiquity. You see, the
date on It Is 1695. It was taken from one
of the Spanish ships sunk by Admiral
Dewey In Manila Bay In May, 1S98. The
other two pieces of bronze are about 100
years old, and were taken from the Attorney-General's
palace In Manila, afte
the Spaniards had been driven out. The
Ivory sword, with the pretty carving, Is
also very ancient, and belonged to a Span
ish official. It was taken from the Governor-General's
palace
"The Spanish machete was taken from
the trenches before Maleta August 13,
1S98. The bolo and wooden-handled ma
chete were captured In the public build
ings of Santa Ana, February 5, 1S99. There
were 14,000- of these taken, showing that
the Insurrection there had not yet ma
tured, as the weapons had not yet been
distributed. They were made of fishplates
.torn from. -the. railroad track, as Iron Is
'very scarce In the Philippines. The boys
turned most of them over to the Govern
ment arsenal at the walled city. The
machetes of this style are used In pairs,
one for feinting and guarding and one to
make lunges. The slender machetes are
the kind used by the Spanish officers, and
you will observe are lighter and longer
than the regular army weapon of the
same class.
"The three shooting Irons are a blun
derbuss, a Remington rifle and a Mauser
rifle. The flrst was gotten in Lawton'a
Laguna de Bay expedition, 84 miles south
of Manila. It Is presumably an old Span
ish weapon, and was probably looted by
the natives after the taking of Manila,
as they get In and took everything In
sight before the marines landed. The
Mauser rifle was a prize from the field of
Caloocan, as was also the Remington.
"In one of those ammunition pouches
in the center Is the shell from which the
shot was fired that killed Sergeant Gil
lespie, of Spokane, at Maleta.
"The root with, the carved figures Is a
natural one having been artistically
stained. It was taken from a Chinese
Josshouse In Santa Cruz, where it served
as an ornament. The carved bamboos
are from the walled city, and I find them
the best cane and umbrella racks I ever
had. The tortoise shell was brought In
from the south, by a navigator. The
smoothing Iron Is a very curious and
primitive utenBll. Fire Is put Into it, and
it can be kept hot for an Indefinite time
"The bell was once a church mass bell
Of Santa Ana. .
"One of the most primitive weapons In
the Philippines Is the blowgun, which la
used to hunt small game Men, women
and children use them, and their accu
racy Is marvelous. They are unfailing
at 60 yards, and I never saw a miss but
once They use a small conical dart as
ammunition, with a split end. Into which
a piece of paper Is fixed to guide It.
"The opera glasses were taken from a
Spanish officer at San Antonla Abad. The
shells are an illustration of the glass used
In all houses on the Islands. The hole In
that one was made by a Mauser at Ca
puctlnus Convent, Paslg, August 13, 1898.
"The largest piece In the collection 1?
the coat of mall. I do not know Its age
or history, out I got It In an old Spanish
storehouse m Manila. It Is complete
even the knee and shoulder guards-being
there.
'The creese is one of the most deadly
weapons In existence. You can see blood
stains all the length of that one. Two
Chinamen were killed with. It on the night
of the attempt to sack Manila in Febru
ary, 1899."

Bonner for driving a 500-foot tunnel In the
Diadem mine in the Greenhorn district,
a few miles southwest of Granite. The
work will be prosecuted by the new Mon
tana management, under direction of J.
T. Pardee of Butte. Mr. Pardee recent
ly succeeded In reorganizing the com
pany; and now has associated with him
in the ownership August Helnze the fa
mous Montana copper man. Two days
ago an election was held la Sumpter by
the board of directors, and J. H. Robblns,
president of the First Bank of Sumpter,
was chosen president. N. K. Richards
vice-preslderit, and the First Bank of
Sumpter cashier, secretary and treasurer.
These three, with Dr. E. M. Anderson,
of Sumpter, are the Oregon directors.
The Diadem Is favorably spoken of, but
Is not much known to the public. It has
yielded ore that would seem to give capi
tal all possible promise of big returns on
an Investment, and mismanagement Is the
best explanation given for Its not having
been brought to the front before Under
the more vigorous and conservative man
agement of Mr. Pardee and his Montana
associates, there appears to be good hope
for Its future.
The contract with Mr. Bonner Is for a
600-foot tunnel, which is to be driven on
the ledge. Five months are given for
completion of the work, and the contrac
tor may use his own discretion as to the
number of men to be employed. This will
progress rapidly, as the formation Is very
loose Much talc. Is found in the vein,
and the country rock, while of the slate
specie. Is reported more decomposed than
in the Bonanza district, and therefore
more easily handled. Removal of it will
be of less difficulty than timbering the
tunnel. Burleigh drills would be useless
In such a loose formation, so that It would
be to no advantage to Install power
plants before commencement of work;
Work previously done on the Diadem
was In a shaft near the apex of the vein.
This was sunk to a depth of 80 feet. From,
this shaft was 4aken 18 tons of shipping
ore that yielded approximately $1600. In
allowing for Its value no consideration
was given to tho copper It contained,
which was reported to be nearly 3 per
cent. This shipping ore was taken from
a pay chute in the main ledge. The
ledge Itself at that point was quite wide,
and the rich rock struck led the owners
to believe the ledge would be found to
contain much of It. In the tunnel now
being driven from lower down the hill,
which Is In nearly 200 feet, a small quan
tity of rich ore Has been fouad very sim
ilar to the pay chute struck la the shaft.
Such finds at the lower level are quite
encouraging to the management.
When the tunnel Teaches a point un
der the shaft there will be 300 feet of
backs. There upraises will be made to
block out whatever ore lies' between the
tunnel and the. surf ace If this work de
velops the material now expected, con
struction of a mill and other preparatory
work for operations will commence Im
mediately. Diadem ore is easily crushed
and runs high in free gold. From tests
made near the surface It Is estimated that
at least 75 per cent of the ore values
will be saved on the plates.
HINTS FOR LEGISLATORS.
The time for electing a United States
Senator Is near at hand, and the press
should urge the election of a man who
can do Oregon practical service No fool
ish mistakes are permissible now, for we
have too much at stake. We want a
thorough business man, one with cour
age and brains, for measures la Congress
which will carry appropriations to Im
prove our harbors, and he Is a necessity.
Baker City Republican.
What are our legislators going to do?
Will they, as Is usual, formulate a large
number of humbug laws, which will
never be enforced, unconstitutional or
othewise faulty, or will they spend their
time in amending those we already have,
which have been found wanting? Give us
few, but good laws. Time spent by that
honorable body. In enacting more useless
laws, Is worse than wasted, but would
be used to great advantage by'ths state,
by reducing the number of our present
statutes and Improving those we already
have Antelope Republican.
Of course there Is Justice In primary
reform. The people throughout the state
wish It, and It would be foolhardy and Im
politic to disappoint 'them. Those who
oppose it are political pffice-seekers or office-holders
who can only attain their
aims by soft-soaping delegates and man
ipulating conventions. They are thor
oughly despised by the people, who only
support them at the polls on election
day because they do not wish to vote for
Democrats or Populists, yet Republicans
through such methods have made many
a Populist In this state The next Legis
lature can make no reasonable excuse for
not passing such a bill. Every honest
man In Oregon wants such a law. Aurora
Borealls.
The complaints of a tax-burdened peo
ple are becoming so universal that It
would appear as If the members of the
next Legislature must pay some heed fo
them. The next Legislature will offer a
splendid opportunity for Its members to
make a name for themselves that will se
cure them future favors from a grateful
constituency. The usual raids will be
made upon the State Treasury. Appropri
ations will be asked to further various
schemes and projects, and unless the
members of the Legislature frown them
down once and emphatically, the schem
ers and fakers will increase In numbers
at each session, and the available fund
will diminish and the rate of the state
tax be Increased proportionately. Let the
coming session be known In history as
one where economy and good "hors
sense" prevailed McMInnville Reporter.
The law regulating- the district agricul
tural societies in this state needs some
attention at the next meeting of the
Legislature While we favor state aid to
the agricultural classes we doubt very
much If the moneys expended at these
district fairs have been of any benefit to
the agricultural classes, as the law In
tended. We do not believe these fairs
can be carted around pn wheels, first in
one county, then in another, successfully
or with the best results for the object In
tended. It costs money to erect suit
able buildings and grounds for holding
these fairs, and where they are .only held.
every three years the buildings go to
ruin ana iner eipense iq repair mem aoes
not justify for one faif in three years.
The law should be repealed or the fairs
centrally located In some one place In
each district. Rural Spirit.
The next session of the Legislature
should show no discrimination In the en
couragement of Industries, and especial
ly o- when "by not doing so the taxpay
er would be saved many thousands of
dollars. One of that body's flrst acts
