the blockhouse occupied by the early
day representatives of the govern
ment in the Grand Bonds Indian res
ervation, and within a stone's throw
of the primitive home where once
lived General Phil Sheridan, then in
charge of the agency, an Indian fair
was held this week, and attracted
crowds.
One notable feature of the assem
blage was the Intermingling of white
men and Indians, many or tne
latter having come from other
tribes to loin in th-Tfestivitles of tho
occasion and to smoke the calumet
with those of their race.

Wom Are Busy '
While Indian women of the present
day are slow to give much time to
bedwork. their" manifold duties as
farm housewives occupying them
completely, there are the older tribes
people who still employ themselves
with this occupation with the result
that many foreign dollars find their
way Into this community in return
for artistically executed handiwork.
There was shown in the booth about
500 different articles made by the
aged women of the reservation or
by those who have since passed be
yond. On one basket nearly 10 pounds of
small beads were used in the deco
rative design.
The agricultural department would
have done credit to a community hav
ing greater pretentions than do these
Grand Ronde Indians. Indian corn,
from seed originally Introduced into'
the reservation was one of the inter
esting exhibits. Dairying is also be
coming a leading industry with theso
thrifty people, they realizing that
with the present high prices for but
terfat good money may be accumu
lated more readily than through any
other means.
Large areas that were formerly
devoted to the raising of grains have
recently been given over to pastures,
kept green throughout the greater
part of the summer season by heavy
dews and fogs arising from the Pa
cific. Amusement features There
The amusement features of the In
dian fair were not lacking, and hun
dreds of the younger people found
entertainment on the grounds outside
of the pavilion, either eacerly watch
ing the results of the round-up pro
gram, indulging in confections, red
lemonade or "hotdor." or throwing
the balls at nigger dolls.
The Inventive genius of the Indian
is shown in the 'construction Of a
merry-go-round, built of poles from
the adjacent hills, and propelled by
horse power. Guy Bay was in charge
of the round-up.
That theae Indian exhibits are prov
ing educational along agricultural,
horticultural and dairying lines is
shown by a statement 'made by Sec
retary Dowd, who is largely' respon
sible for the success of this and
previous fairs. He says: "The ex
hibits of the present fair, as com
pared with those of five years ago.
are 100 per cent better. The people
who participate with each recurring
years having a keen desire to outdo
their neighbor, they study the best
methods of production, and hence
are not only doing their work with
more ease but are getting better
results from a financial standpoint.
"From a small beginning the In
dian fair has grown from a few In
significant showings to what- it Is
today, one of the best rural fairs on
the coaat.
"And the beauty of it is that these
people appreciate Its value as an In
structor in the industries in which
they are engaged and as a conse
quence are loyal to the core in its
support."

Former President Calls Upon
People to Get Behind the
Government.
Chicago Oct 18. (U. P.) William
Howard Taft, president of the League
to Enforce Peace, Issued a call to the
people of the United States tonight
to get behind their government In -the
war against German Imperialism,
make the Liberty bond campaign a
success and help bring liberty to the
people of Germany themselves.
Taft spoke here before the Liberty
bond committee. He bitterly assailed
Senator La Follette and all those who
consciously or unconsciously - preach
sedition or question the Justice of the
entrance of the United States Into
the war. He also pleaded for sympa- .
thy for American citlsena of German
descent, nearly all of whom, he said,
have shown their loyalty In spite of
the schemes and plottlngs of Count
von Bernstorff and his conspirators.
In concluding his address, Taft
pledged the support of the League to
Enforce Peace te the Liberty loan
committee.
Taft charged that the attitude of
certain members of congress was pred
icated upon the erroneoua Idea that
their constituencies were anti-war or
pro-German.
The address was the first of a series'
to be delivered by Taft in favor of
the Liberty loan campaign through
out the country.

Olympia, Wash-, Oct. 13. By a re

superior court decision is modified in
the case of M. G Bentley against the
Western Union, Telegraph company,
although the court divides three to
two on the question.
Bentley shipped a carload of apples
from Milton, Or., to California and
asked $2 a box for them. A dispute
arose over the price. He finally sent
a telegram saying he would take $180
for the lot. Tho message read $1.08.1
They were sol at the lower figure. He
sued the company for the difference.
He was awarded judgment for $532 in
the lower court.
Inasmuch as the purchaser offered
to pay $1.50 a box for the apples,
which he refused, the court holds he
should have accepted and then sued
for the difference. The lower courts
peddling it out at prices said to range
aarhlxtt: as $35 a gallon.' Developments
