A meeting was called at the
Grange Hall Wednesday night
to oiUianlze a Commercial Club.
W. S. Hall called the meeting to
order and stated thia object for
'which the meeting was called,
, Ralph Hamar acting as tempor
:ary secretary. On permanent
organization, W. S. Hall ws
elected President of the Club,
and L. A. Crawford Vice-Presi-dcait.
E. Chandler, Secretary
and A. L. Crawford Treasurer.
This Club is to co-operate with
the Portland Chamber of Com
merce in the State Organization
to push the interests of Oregon
jn tne development of the states
reat resources. The Club
start. off with a live bunch of
twenty members, which they ex
pect to increas to fifty in a short
time. The meeting was very en
thusiastic, a good omen.
inspector Smith and Super
visor Cos, of the Indian Com
petency Commission, went to
Taft Monday where they will
meet the Indian 3 of that section
and pass upon their competency
as to who should have deeds to
their lands and from there will
go to Oti3 and adjust matters
there i:i tlie same way ami the;
to Grand Kc :do where Super
intendent Chalcraft will joia
them in adjusting land matters
at that reservation. In about
ten days the commission will re
turn 'o Siletz and finish up the
work here., The time allotted
for the Indians to set d'eds to
their land will expire July 2Gth
of this year. This means a !?cod
tleal to the Indians. For Mx'j'
three lc-ag years they have been
under the iostcriig car o' Un
cle Sam as wards ot the govern
ment and now to be turned loo?
en the cold charities of the world
to make their way in competi
tion with the white man is a
groat problem. How well they
may succeed depends upon them
Halves, If they-MIa-tfeeir-t'.mfr
away and acquire habits of sloth
laziness and indifference, they
will fail in all their undertakings.
But if they are honest, industri
ous and ambitious they will suc
ceed in all undertakings. This
applys to the white man in Just
the same way. He can be lazy
and trifling same as an Indian.
A dance was given at the
Crango hall Saturday evening.
It was well attended and a gen
eral 1,'ood time was had by all
present. The graphophone and
two violins with expert players
furnished good music.
On the sam evening the In
dians gave a big feather dance in
the Mctcalf Hall. Th!3 was an
unusual occasion. It 13 an an
cient custom among the Indians
that when one of their numbers
fall i'i battle to have six months
mourning for the dead warrior.
Paul Washington was killed i;i
action at tho front last Septem
ber and Klamath Billy was killed
in tho legging camps last fall.
For these two the dance was
held. The costumes of the wo
men were made more brilliant
and elaborate than usual. Three
women, had cn costuni.M sono
as the Indian people had one
hundred years ago, worth $75 to
$150 a piece, they wire very
beautiful. About ufty persona
were in the dance, tho Thm
ath Rrlrue River war dances
were repeated as conducted ages
long gone by. Not a smile was
on the face of any dancer. Not
one chcerfnl look", every thhig
was as solemn as a funeral. Tho
i;vat of the drum and the plain
tive song of the dancers made a
deep Impression. This was kept
up till midnight when the hour
of grief and mourning ceased.
Then a nice supper was served
frve to all, and it was a dandy
fe;?d. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Wash
ington, father and mother of tho
dead soldier, put the money up
for the supper. After supper the
Badness and sorrow all passed
