In Jts Preparation.
OLYMP1A, Wash., Oct. 9. (Special.)
.Announcement that Governor Lister
M ill appoint a commission of employ
ers and employes to act with the
Industrial Insurance Commission In
drafting a "first aid" or medical at
tendance amendment to the workmen's
compensation act, has raised the ques
tion among: Washington politicians as
to what part organized labor may be
expected to play in regard to Mr. Lis
ter's probable candidacy for re-election.
Fop the first two years of the Lister
administration, the Governor's rela
tions with labor leaders were not no
ticeably close. In his early years in
politics, when he was an iron moulder,
Ernest Lister was distinctly a labor
man.
Later, when he became a contractor
snij manufacturer, conditions were
naturally reversed. During the 1912
KUbernslorlnl campaign the bulk of
the labor support was thrown to Bob
Hodge, Progressive nominee.
Labor Office First Filled.
When Mr. Lister was elected Gover
nor, one of the first offices which he
took steps to fill was that of Labor
Commissioner. The State Federation
if I,ebor had a candidate of its own,
C. O. Young, of Tacoma. but before
the labor men had an opportunity to
Tress their choice the Governor ap
pointed Edward W. Olson, of Walla
Walla.
The next question facing the admin
istration was whether John H. Wal
lace, of the Industrial Insurance Com
mission, the only Simon-pure repre
sentative of organized labor in the Hay
administration, would be retained in
office, Wallace held on longer than
any other Hay appointee.
Two Decline to Serve.
Governor Lister expressed his -disapproval
of the initiative "first aid"
measure drafted by the State Federa
tion, on the ground that all interests
should be concerted in preparing a
measure of the kind. If the measure
was defeated he would name a com
mission, on which employers as well
s employes should be represented, to
draft a substitute bill for presentation
to the 1915 Legislature.
The initiative first-aid bill was de
feated by the close margin of 000
votes, and to the Governor's Influence
the labor men attributed this loss. So
strained was the feeling at this imo
that when the executive named his
commission, two of the three original
labor members. Ernest P. Marsh and
Martin J. Flyzik, declined to serve,
First-Aid Bill Is Drafted.
The Governor's commission drafted
a first-aid bill which was in the na
ture of a compromise, not wholly satis
factory either to the employers or em
ployes. When this condition was made
apparent in hearings held before the
Legislature, the Employers' Associa
tion took advantage cf the situation by
having; introduced a bill of their own,
which constituted practically what the
employers had contended for in the
commission meetings, before their
views were softened by the necessity
of compromising with the labor repre
sentatives. The programme which Governor Lis
ter now intends to carry into effect is
to appoint a new commission, to be
composed of representatives of em
ployers and employes and the Indus
trial Insurance Commission, to draft
a first-aid measure that may be ex
pected to be reasonably satisfactory to
11 parties.
TERRITORIAL ACT VALID
IDAHO SIPRF.ME COURT DENIES
, EXCLUSIVE RANGE TO SHEEP.
Ftockmen Declared to Have Same
Right and Legislature Power to
Regulate I'ae of Land.
' BOISK, Oct. 9. (Special.) The pub.
Jic range of Idaho does not belong to
the sheepmen but to the United States,
and the sheepmen have no more right
to it than those conducting the live
stock industry.
This is. in brief, the decision of the
Supreme Court of this state in an issue
which has Ions held the stock and
sheepmen at swords points over di
vision of the range for grazing pur
poses.
It holds constitutional a territorial
ot, known in the revised codes as sec
tion S2". which was attacked. An
appeal will probably be taken to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
For years infringements on the leases
cf stock and sheepmen have caused
war. Sheepmen took their flocks onto
the public range which the stockmen
Relieved belonged to them. The sheep,
thev said, ruined tle range for stock.
The territorial act tested makes it
unlawful to herd sheep on a cattle
range slid determines the right to
either range by the rule, of priority.
The Supreme Court has this to say
5n holding aauinst invasion of a cattle
range oy sheepmen:
The range does not belong to the
sheepmen but to the Vnited States. The
eheepmen have an equal right with all
other citUens of the state to the use of
this public domain within the Jurisdic
tion of the state, subject to the right
of the state to control and regulate
eurn use.
It Is within the constitutional
prerogative of the Legislature, In the
exercise of the police power of the
state, to minimise the opportunities for
coninct Between the sheen and cattle
Industries to the extent of prohibiting
sheepmen from running their sheep on
any cattle ranjje. This is not class
legislation and it Is not obnoxious to
tn provisions of section 1, article 1 of
mi state constitution."

MT
OLALLA, Or., Oct. S.-(Bpeclal.)
A dying people, a vanished race.
tribe whose life flame burned
hot and high, then flickered and has
sunk to one dull ember. Romance is
there, say me. Here is a symbol of all
life, alike of races and individuals.
And yet. when one sees "Old. Lize."
the last survivor of the CallaDOoia In
dians, squatted on a piece of old car
pet by the side of a stone in which she
continually keeps a fire to warm her
thin blood, it seems a far cry to ro
mance. Her hair is white and her
bronze face seamed with many wrin
kles, but her stout body is upright and
her hands small, bony and capable,
work nervously and unceasingly with
some tangled thread. She cannot un
tangle her thread, for her eyes are
nearly sightless, only sensing a little
of the difference between light and
darkness.
Mind In Keen and Memory Good.
The mind of "Old Lize" is keen and
her memory seems good. As to her
age, she does not know. You know.
People those day.nie poor people. No
school, no nothing. I don't know." Of
one thing she is sure, however. "I the
last. My father gone; my mother
gone: my children, all the Callapooia
gone." And she waves a long hand and
turns her face with sightlesseyes to
follow its sweep.
I half Uolalla. I know that.
My father he Callapooia. He born
up this river. He go to MeKenzie and
nnd woman there. I born there. My
sister, brothers born there. I get man
there. Mohawk man. We have three
ohildren. My man die then I come back
here. I widow then and Callapooia
man get ne. I have four more chil
dren. Now all gone."
Story Told With No Sign of Feeling,
"Lize" tells her story clearly, with
no sign of feeling, except some bitter
ness when she relates how one white
man gave whisky to her "big Calla
pooia boy" and killed him or caused
his death.
She mourns over her departed riches
and her lost bodily vigor. She tells
how she washed and picked hops and
got money to buy ponies and get her a
house. "I got garden, too, big garden,"
she repeats.
"Lize's" troubles commenced early
in life. When she was 10 her parents
both died and she was taken by a
Molalla woman, while her sister was

sent to the Klickitat tribe, both In vir

tude and ran away, choosing a seaeon
when the moon was full. She traveled
by night and lay hidden by day. Berries
were ripe and plentiful and constituted
her sole food, the made her way to
the Callapooia, where a friend cared
for her.
"1A" About IS at WcddlaK.
Afterwards she returned to the Me
Kenzie, and then she married her Mo
hawk man. She was very young, prob--ably
not more than 13 years old. Her
husband was a cruel man and when
full of whisky beat her nearly to death.
On one such occasion "Liae" ran away
from him and took refuge with Mrs.
Spores, at Spores' ferry, who protected
her, kept away her Indian husband and
taught "Lize" the domestic arts of the
white woman, iu which she afterward
was proficient. Her husband finally
died and she came back again to the
Callapooia. Here she married Jim, a
Callapooia, who was a bad man. He
also was a heavy drinker, and when
drunk was dangerous, having the repu
tation or Killing two Indians and one
white man in tights. For one of thes
artairs he was sent to the state peni
tentiary. "Old L'.ze" says. ! go down
to Government House and stay there
ana bother Urover" (Governor at that
time) "until he let Jim out."
The Callapooias were once a numer
ous people, and at the time the whites
settled this section were to be found in
large numbers at the site of Browns
ville and scattered over the vallev of
tne uauapooia. reiver and its tributaries.
According to old settlers these Indians
were always industrious and neaceable
and had no trouble with the whites, as-
aisiing mem materially tnrough the
hard times of the pioneer days.
This is also the testimony of "Old
Lize," who has been known to the peo
ple of this vicinity for many years.
Now the tribe is extinct but for her,
the sole surviving member, and she is
a ward of Benton County and is fed by
the charity of the aliens who took the
land of her people.
Little romance. Indeed, in the sight
of "Old Lize" in her faded calico dress,
with a bandana handkerchief about her
snowy hair, as she aits on her square
of carpet and complains of her cough
and the "leumatism" she has in cold
weather; of the woman who stole her
pictures, and the man who gave whisky
to her "big boy."
Memories Tinged With Romantic.
In her memory are the names of
many rivers (for so is her geography
constructed), musical names, Molalla
and Callapooia, and there may be
memories also of her early life on the
splendid stream of the McKensie. with
her Mohawk man and her children,
memories tinged with the romantio col
ors which we love to think of in con
nection with the free, wild life of the
Indian.
Perhaps so. but "Lize's" spoken
thoughts dwell on the time when she
was "rich," when she had a big garden
and two ponies, and when she could
pick four to six boxes of hops In a day.
Now:
"I no good. My eyes make me bad.
I can make no money. Oh, no." Noth

LEGE. Corvallis, Oct. 8. (Special.)
"Oregon loganberry Juice is made of
loganberries and not phenomenal ber
ries, notwithstanding the reported
statements of Luther Burbank to the
contrary," said Professor C. I. Lewis,
chief of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege horticultural department, when
asked concerning the truth of the re
port that loganberry juice is not logan
berry juice at all but phenomenal juice
under a wrong name.
And in this view Professor Lewis is
backed up by the men chiefly re
sponsible for the introduction and dis
tribution of the loganberry in Oregon.
"The loganberry is at present wide
ly distributed in Western Oregon and
In some other parts of the state," con
tinued Professor Lewis, "but enough ot
the original stock can be traced back
to Its introduction to Identify it with
the loganberries aa obtained in Cali
fornia from Judge Logan, ef Santa
Cruz."
Pr.of af Identity la Shows.
- By comparing this stock the identity
of which is accurately known with
loganberries in other parts of the state
It is clearly shown that the great bulk
of the crop as grown in Oregon i
loganberries.
"The phenomenal berry "has never
been widely grown In Oregon. Enough
of the fruit has been produced, how
ever, to provide plenty of both fruit
and vines for comparison w-ith the
loganberry, and this comparison has
not been favorable to the phenomenal.
"Differences in the fruit is much
less marked than differences In the
vines. It is hard to distinguish the
fruits in plate exhibits, but there is no
difficulty at all in distinguishing the
vines. Attempts to grow the phenomenal
berry in Oregon nave demonstrated its
inferiority compared with the logan
berry and in most cases have been
given up.
Name Clinnae Plaa I. Mistake, Is View.
"It would be a mistake," concluded
Professor Lewis, "to permit the change
of the name loganberry to phenomenal
In growing and marketing the logan
berry and its by-products. Besides
being an error, it would, greatly les
sen the value of the wide and success
ful advertising that has been carried
on to widen the market for loganberry
fruit and ju'ioea.
"This advertising campaign has been
carried on at considerable expense, and
backed by the unsurpassed qualities
of the fruit and juiees has made a
strong appeal to the popular mind. A
change of name would result in con
fusion and distrust, and the pioneer
work would have to be dona all over
again. Loganberries they are. and
loaanberriee they should be called."
Letters from the Aspinwall Bros., of
Brooks. Or., and the Oregon Nursery
Company, Orenco, confirm Professor
Lewis' contention.
