SCHOOLS ARE DISCUSSED
Official Denies It la Policy of Ad-
ministration to Do Away With
' Non-Reservation Institutions
' for the Red Tribesmen.
Farming In anything except homeo
pathic doses is what F. H. Abbott, At-,
Jstant Commissioner of Indian Affairs
prescribes for the young Indians. Mr.
Abbott is making a 35,000-mile tour of the
field, and olnce taking office, less than a
year ago, has spent over half the time
out among the Indians, always talking
farming, advising the old Inddans to till
their own land and to send their off
spring to the schools, where they can bo
taught the modern methods of farming.
Mr. Abbott passed through Portland
"Wednesday en route to the Umatilla
reservation. For there he will visit the
Yakima, Puyallup, Tulalip and Colville
reservations in Washington and then go
to Montana. He spent Wednesday at
the Chemawa Indian School, where the
commencement exercises were held and
where he delivered the diplomas to the
eight young Indian graduates. Mr. Ab
bott went over the school farm of 440
acres and encouraged the idea of agri
cultural intruction which ift being fol
lowed at that institution. For four months
he has been on the present trip arid it
will be another month and a half before
be returns to Washington.
No Abolishment Plan Held.
Mr. Abbott denied that it was the policy
of the present Administration to do away
with the non-reservation schools. He
said:
"It is the policy of the present Ad
miniMratlon to make the schools provide
for the Indian children who cannot be
provided for otherwise, either with good
ressrvatlon schools or with public schools.
"Wherever possible, when the Indians
have received their allotments and taken
their lands in fee simple and are paying
taxes and are living in white communi
ties, they are being encouraged to send
their children to the white public schools.
The Idea is to get them off the Govern
ments rolls as poon as they- become- self
supporting. That is the solution of the
Indian problem.
"They are now becoming self support
ing to a greater or less degree in the
different communities and it io apparent
they are making progress as rapidly as
could be expected. We are doing away
with the non-reservation schools only
where the Indians can get as good or
better facilities at their own homes.
There Is no cut and dried theory. The
Idea Is that the Indians should not be
pampered and spoiled and have money
ppent upon them lavishly without doing
anything toward teaching them self-support.
The came policy which is good for
the white boy, we think, is good for the
Indian boy, and it is pretty good for
either to give him an opportunity and
then to let him "root hog or die."
Actual Settlers Wanted on Soli.
"On the reservations which have been
Allotted, we are aiming to have the
Indians do everything possible toward
developing their own lands. On the
other hand, where they are renting
Ithelr lands, we are not favoring the
Jilan and when they sell them, we are
tasking that they sell only to actual
settlers who will develop the land, pay
taxes on It and -make the property pro
ductive, thereby helping the state and
at the same time teaching the Indian,
by example, what can be done.
"At all the Indian -schools the pri
mary aim Is to teach the girls house
keeping and the boys farming and the
tise of tools In connection with farms.
Some of the trades are also taught. In
asmuch as a large percentage of the
boys have allotments. It follows that
agricultural education Is fundamental
In all the schools. On some reserves
where lands have been allotted the
Indians have sold out their lands and
lave squandered the money, but on the
other hand, there are many who are
doing well.
IIlgh-Grade Farmers Employed.
"In my Judgment. If the Indians had
formed the habit of farming and had
become attracted to the .farm home
there would be fewer who would sell
out. To encourage that Idea the office
Is employing a better class of farmers
for teaching and has been paying a
higher salary to farmers already In
the field who have made good, and 'to
the new men employed. Some agricul
tural college men have been employed
this year but they have not been tried
out as yet. As a rule, the most suc
cessful farming teachers are those who
"nave had experience with the Indians
and know something about handling
them.
"As an example of the progress
which Is being made along the line of
farming with the Indians, I held a
council with a tribe In North Dakota,
at Fort Berthold, last Fall. After talK
Ing over the farming possibilities, the
Sndlans voted $25,000 of their own funds
for the purpose of developing & farm on
their reserve to raise pure seed and
pure stock for distribution among
them.
Agricultural Fairs Held.
"The superintendents In the service In
order to encourage the idea of agricul
ture among the Indians, have been, at
the euggestion of the office, following a
plan of holding annual agricultural fairs.
The office Is encouraging the utilization
of all school land for the purpose of
demonstrating the best methods of farm
ing." Mr. Abbott is vitally impressed with the
Idea of making the Indians self-supporting
through the utilization of their lands. He
holds that one of the besit methods of
accomplishing this la through the Indian
schools which will, with a large farm,
teach the young Indians to make the
plants contribute the maximum toward
the support of the institution and at the
same time train the Indians to under
stand the full possibilities of the eoiL He
aid the superintendents throughout the
country have been In hearty accord with
the policy of the Administration in this
respect.
The Assistant Commissioner has already
traveled 20.000 miles by train and 2000
mllesi by stage and on horseback. He
has visited the schools all over the coun
try and has been the first roan In his
position who has spent so much time In
becoming In touch with the Indians In
their homes. The idea of administra
ting affairs from an office In Washington
does not appeal to him, but It Is to know
first of all the aotual needs of the red
men that has taken him out Into their
haunts.

TWO CHURCHES ONE-
Baptist Pastors to Preach
Farewell Sermons Today;
NEW EDIFICE CONSIDERED
1
Organization With New Xame Will
Have 300 Member Rev. Albert
Ehrgott to lie Chosen as Pas
tor at Union Meeting.
The last services of the Second and
Central Baptist churches of the East
Side will be held today. Rev. H. S.
Black, pastor of the Second Baptist
Church, will preach his farewell ser
mons and then enter on his new work
as pastor of Immanuel Baptist Church,
Second and Meade streets. Rev. Mr.
Black received a call to Imjnanuel
Church soon after it was known that the
two Kast Side churches were to unite
as one congregation. Rev. Albert Ehr
gott, who has been pastor of the Central
Baptist Church, has returned from Wfild
by Island, where he had been attending
the Northwestern Chautauqua, and will
preach his farewell sermons today also.
He has resigned as pastor and will be
elected pastor of the new East Side Bap
tist Church, which Is to be formed next
Thursday night at a union covenant
meeting of the congregations of both
churches to be held In the Central Church.
Rev. Mr. Black, retiring pastor of the
Second Church, will preside at the cov
enant meeting, at which the future meet
ing place of the consolidated church will
be decided. One Item In the consolida
tion plan agreed on Is that the property
of both churches shall be sold and a
new site that la not on - any streetcaf
track selected.
Xh building of the Second durch max
be. retained and moved to the new site,
or the consolidated church may decide
to -build a new edifice. The Second. Bap
tist qhurch was rebuilt 15 years ago when
Rev. Ray Palmer was pastor, and with
some repairs can be made Into a modern
church building. The Central Church was
so arranged that it can be remodeled
Into an apartment building.
The sundering of the Second , Baptist
Church comes about over the acceptance
of the resignation of Rev. 'William Ran
dall, the pastor. . His resignation was ac
cepted by a close vote, and those . who
voted against the resignation went '-out
with him and organized a new" church.
After meeting for several months in
Woodmen Hail the congregation occupied
the new church -at -East Twentieth and
East Ankenjr streets. Rev. W. T. Jordan
followed Rev. Mr. Randall as pastor.. He
made .some efforts to : bring- about the
union of the two congregations, without
success. Rev. S. C. Lapham, who had
been the attorney for the Second Church
of that church, was the pastor until Rev.
H. S. Black was called. With the call
ing of Rev. Mr. Black to the Second and
Rev. Mr. Ehrgott to Central negotiations
for consolidation were finally successful.
Several of the men who were active la
the separation have died, and the ex
pression for reunion among both - older
and younger members of the congrega
tion was unanimous. Before Rev. Mr.
Black proposed the plan of an entire new
"uiL-u urKamzauon no progress was
made. By the plan adopted by the joint
committee the reunion is accomplished
by each church passing out of existence
and a new church being formed.
The suggestion that the old Second
Baptist Church be used is an open ques
tion and of serious import -to the new
church. Practically ' all the East Port
land churches have been rebuilt or are
now being rebuilt on modern lines'. The
consolidated church will consider whether
It Is practical and advisable for the con
solidated church to erect a modern build

city, fnlon means a church of 300 mem

Albany Man Dies.
ALBANY. Or., July 30- (Special.)
Ximrod Ashbauph. who came to Albany
three yeaxs ago from Minnesota, died
today at the homo of his daughter,
Mrs. Odell. at the ge of 80 years.
He leaves five children. He was a
member of the Methodist Church of
Albany,
Detective Department Occupied With
Slany Smaller Cases Fines and
Forfeitures More Than Double
Those of Tear Ago.
There has not been in a long time a
month that has kept the police as busy
as they have been in July. Violence
incident to the teamsters' strike has
called for much extra work and the addi
tion of nearly 100 special officers has
not wholly filled the requirements.
In Captain Moore's detective depart
ment petty thievery and issuing of bad
checks have occupied attention almost
exclusively, but as these email cases are
proportionately more exacting than big
crimes which leave a broader trail, every
man not on vacation has had his hands
full. TBe shooting' of Eoy Irwin by high
waymen and the death of Vera Hall, the
Oregon City girl who died on the operat
ing table of Dr. J. J. Rosenberg in South
Portland, were the most noteworthy
caees.
Autolsts Are Prosecuted.
Increase in Che- number of prosecutions
.for violations of the automobile speed
law has kept the uniformed men busy.
The Introduction of two motorcycles has
facilitated tho securing of evidence
against speed law violators and Patrol
men Sims and Evajis, who were assigned
to the new machines, have thrown them
selves into the work with great energy.
In all, 25 convictions were secured In July
against drivers of automobiles who ex
ceeded the speed limit. More complaint
than usual has been made about reckless
driving. Persons arrested by the motor
cycle policemen have "little opportunity to
dispute the charge, as the officer car
ries a speedometer on his machine and
after following a speeding car a short
distance, is abla to- say Just how fast
It was going.
Allied to the movement against automo
bile speeding Is the campaign Instituted
within the month against persons riding
bicycles on the sidewalks. Long disregard
of the ordinance has established contempt
tor it which tne onicers nno. hard to over-
come. Convictions to the number of 29
were secured in the month and many
more persons were admonished and dismissed.-
-
Liquor Laws Enforced.
.Violations of the liquor and gambling
regulations have been followed closely.
Two grill -rooms where women were
served have been put out of - business.
Violations of the Sunday-closing law have
shown diminution.
Fines and forfeitures collected In July
will exceed $4000. as against J1831 for the
corresponding month last year. Eleven
perrons were held by Judge Bennett to
answer to the higher courts.
There were 12 suicides in the month,
eight of which occurred within five days.
Nine men and three women sought violent
deaths, six by shooting, three by taking
carbolic acid, two by inhaling gas and one
toy banging. Tho last was a Chinese.
Although two conflagrations of extra
ordinary range occurred in July, tho
month as a whole was quiet for tho Fire
Department, only four losses of magnU
tudo being recorded.
FIVE SPEED MANIACS FINED
Violators ot Auto Regulations Pay
$10 Each 'In Court.
Six violators . of tho speed regula
tions were arraigned In Police Court
yesterday morning and five were fined
for their offenses. Patrolman Sims, of
the motorcycle squad, caught four on
Union avenuej where they wera making
the most of the long, level stretch of
good pavement. Earl, Cameron, 17
years old, was fined $10 for going 23
miles- an hour. Chester Shields attained
the same rate of speed and paid tho
same amount. George Frosser, who
held his car to 22 miles an hour, was
allowed no rebate, and paid $10. Wil
liam Matthiesen was assessed a similar
fine.
Patrolman Evans caught David Hus
ton going at a high rate of speed with
in the fire limits and Huston was fined
$25. William Uhlman was arrested by
Patrolman Whiteside for running a
motor truck. 20 miles an hour on Oak.
street. Uhlman and his employer de
clared that the car was so geared that
It could not make more than 12, and
the case was dismissed after Uhlman
had been warned to keep within the
regulations.
Clarence Frances was arrested by Pa
trolman Evans yesterday morning, and
Patrolman Sims caught Jack Dixon and
Arthur Woodcock, all accused of ex
ceeding the speed' limit. They will
have their hearings today.-
Six boys and men appeared in court
to answer to charges of riding their bi
cycles on the sidewalk. Each paid a

Quit Coffee and Got Well.
A woman's coffoe experience is inter

have taken no food but skim milk., for
solid food would ferment' and cause
such distress that I could hardly

"From childhood up I had been a cof

years I have been trying different phy
sicians but could get only temporary
relief. Then I read an article telling
how some one had been cured by leav
ing off coffee and drinking Postum,
and It seemed so pleasant just to read
about good health I decided to try
Postum in place of coffee.
"I made the change from coffee to
Postum and such a change there Is In
me that I don't feel like the same per
