THE DALLES DAILY CHRONICLE, THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1921.
ONE FOREST FIRE
REPORTED TO DATE
(Chronlclo's Salem Bureau)
SALEM, Or., June 30. It Isn't the
tenderfoot from tho cast that la a
menace to Oregon forests tli rough
carelessness with camp fires, bui
Tathcr t hat native Orcgonlan who
has lived In or near the timber all
his life, according to V. A. Elliot,
state forester.
However, only one forest I It c has
been rcrortcd this season, and (hat
not a bad one.
Why Eastern campers set fewer
fires than Westerner's is not easily
accounted for.
The state forester avers that tho
natives who have lived all their lives
among the trees, and who have been
taught to believe that Oregon's for
ests aro Inexhaustible are first and
most frequent offenders against the
fire laws.
Citing figures relative to timber
fire losses in recent years, the state
forester shows that in 1917 the tim
ber loss was $97,000, while the loss
in mills, other buildings and sawed
lumber was $1,044,000. In 1918 the
loss on Improvements, $15h,CIj, was
less than that on green timber,
$734,000, lightning having started a
number of forest fires thaL year.
In 1920 the Improvement loss was
$116,000 and the timber loss only
$14,000.
Duo to heavy rains last fall and
winter, the forestry department has
begun the present fire guarding sea
son under somo handicap caused by
slashing conditions. Dccauso of ex
tremely wet weather it was impossi
ble to burn slashings last fall. The
let-down in the lumber market also
had something to do with this many
lumbermen making no attempt to
clean up as they would have done
under normal conditions.
More money is available this vear
than last. Tho now Weeks law 'pro
vides $25,000 in federal money Tor
lire fighting use as against only
$7500 last year. It is the plan of tho
slato department to spend about
$20,000 this year in lire prevention
and to save about $5000 for spring
operations.
i no department keeps 21 flroj
wardens regularly throughout the
season, and In addition a number of
camp wardens who have police
power. Thny have authority to assume-
charge in any lire emergency.

ANGLO-JAP TREATY
QUESTION POSTPONED
, . Hy United NYwj
iliONDON, June 30. A long post
ponomont of the attempt to settle
the question of tho new Anglo-Jap
treaty is contemplated, according to
reports emanating from good author
ity. This delay will enable tho
colonial premiers to rot urn to tho
dominions and consult with their
lcspectivo cabinets, or even to obtain
a referendum from their people, If
nocessary, regarding proposals to bo
made by tho imperial conference.
(Chronicle's Washington Bureau)
WASHINGTON. June 30. Oregon
Is an example of tho state which docs
not get all the civil service jobs In
Washington to which it is entitled. In
a set of figures compiled by Senator
Willis of Ohio to silence the cry tint
Ohio is getting more government jobs
than it is entitled to, Oregon is shown
as having 160 and being entitled to
321. Ohio is entitled to 23SS and has only
1555. On the other hand, the District
of Columbia, which is only entitled
to 1S1 jobs, has on tho payroll 11,821.
Tho r;mv failure to get Its quota is
true of every other western state.
Oregon and other Western senators
and congressmen say It Is duo to tho
tact that tho small salaries and In
door work do not appeal to the peo
ple of Oregon and the west.
Missionaries Credited With
Progress Made By Indians
"The progress that has been made
In the civilization of the Indians and
their development would have been
Impossible had It not been for the
missionaries that were pioneers In
laying the foundation of tho religious
and educational welfare of these
people" declares tho new commis
sioner of Indian affairs, Charles H.
Hurke, In a communication to Itev.
Emcr E. Hlgley, Dost .Moines, Iowa,
recently appointed superintendent of
Indian work of tho Mcthcdlst Episco
pal Church.
Tito Methodist board of home mis
sions and cluvch extension and the
Woman's home missionary society
recently appointed a joint commit
rc on Indian work. Dr. Higley was
appointed superintendent, and Mrs.
S. S. Beggs, Topeka, Kan., associate
superintendent. This joint committee
is carrying out a progressive pro
gram under the committee on con
servation an? advance and an
nounces two conferences for Its
missionaries among tho Indians. The
first conference was held recently at
Hamllno University, St. Paul, Minn.,
and the second is being hold at
Salem. Dr. Higley and Mrs. Deggs
have charge of the yrogram and In
dians from the territory adjacent to
the conferences aro attending. The
topics for discussion are: "Christian
Home Standards for Indians," "What
?n Indian Can Achieve," "iProbloms
of the Returning Student," "Devel
oping the night Kind or Community
Spirit," "The Meaning and Obliga
tions of Citizenship," "The Needs of
an Adequate Sunday School Program
Tor Indian Young People," "Chris
tanlzlng Community Life Among Our
Indians,' "Indian Attitude Toward
Education," and "The need of Devel
oping Native Leadersh'p." Commis
sioner Charles H. nurke Is deeply
Interested In tho two conferences.
"The Indians aro npt decreasing
In members," Dr. Higley declares.
"There arc over one-third of a mil
lion of Indians in tho United States,
who speak 57 distinct languages.
"A survey has been made by cen
tenary officials and shows that not
only are tho full-blooded Indians in
creasing, but also the mixed bloods,
and that thoy have better homes,
more medical attention and the In
dian babies receive better treatment
since missionaries took to them a
gospel of soap, sanitation and salva
tion. The increase in numbers is
expected to continue.
"Two-thirds of them cannot under
stand the English language. Thirteen
per cent of the Indians are afflicted
with tuberculosis, and 30,000 suffer
from trachoma. Three out of every
five Indian children die before the
ago of five years.
"There arc 430 Protestant mission
aries and 275 Catholic, with 617
church buildings and a membership
of 42,000 Protestants and 51,000
Catholics.
"Fully two-thirds of the whole In
dlan population are yet without any
gospel privileges whatever, either
Protc3tant or Catholic. Tho ccnten
ary program plans a large enterprise
among the red men."

EJitor of Tho Chronicle: In your
issuo of the 28th another editorial ap
pears In regard to the shortage of
city water and it r.cems strange ti
tho writer that you continually con
demn tho decision of tho people of
The Dalles at the water bond election
last spring when they turned down
the dam on Mill creek: on the suppo
sition that the water commission in
vestigate and make a survey on the
feasibility of the east fork of Hood riv
er as a supply. The paper is supposed
to express public opinion and not al
low Its editor to ignore such a de
cision and proceed through the col
umns of its paper to givo such valuable
(?) advice as appeared In tho editorial
0. the 28th.
From tho opinion of men of excellence-
the wator is available from
Hood river and tho state luw of emi
nent domain gives us tho right to take-
it, and it takes the verdict of a Juiy
and not the editor of Tho Chronicle
to say vhat the damage will bo and
wo hope tho -water commission, the
only ones in tho tho city that have
tho right to make- such a survey will
at tho earliest possible dato mako an
unbiased survey with a competent en
gineer and if thoy find tho water avail
able I am sure tho citizens of Tho
Dalles would prefer to faco a little
law suit when tho law and conditions
aro all in our favor rather than to be
confronted with a water shortage ev
cry summer and after ovory fire.

that it must bo adopted. Said engineer
recommended a water system for La
Grando last summer also one for
Twin Falls, (Idaho, and both were
voted down by the people, and Hums
and McDonnell of Kansas City put
in a more satisfactory system for
Twin Falls for much less money. This
shows to a certain extent tho quality
of the work done by Engineer Kelsey.
It has been ascertained by the writ
ers that 75 percent of the people of
tho United States are drinking water
that has been chlorinated and the peo
ple of The Dalles ho express them
selves In tho election last spring that
thoy do not want that kind of water
when nature has endowed us with an
abundant supply of pure water from
Mt. Hood.
The Ict'iT from tho state board of
health, which came the day following
the election, advised that if the pro
posed dam -was erected that we should
also have a ehlorination plant. From
this evidently tho stato board of
health considers impounded water In
small-reservoirs unfit for drinking pur
poses. The plan proposed hy the water
commission was turned down by hucii
a big majority that it seems to me.
that The Chronicle would at least take
into consideration tho wishes of tho
people and try to get back of a moro
up-to-date move. It- seems to us that
it should be the policy of The Chron
icle to be progressive and where some
other water system Is possible why
should not Tho Chronicle tako the
lead in trying to forco tho issue and
havo this Investigated?
Tho writers and many others inter
ested citizens are standing leady at
any tlmo to assist the water commis
sion if they are neededbut please do
not criticize anyone If there is noth
ing done by the ones In whose hands
th authority and power lies.

LOST ARTICLES IN

The room was cold an dark. Tho
rays of a dismal electric light fil

they lay, forsaken and neglected
llttlo things, each of which has been

matter? Most people wear gloves
of some kind, sometime. There
they lie, small gloves and largo j

woolen ones; white one and black

very lonely gloves too, for none of
them had a mate.
Umbrellas stand out somberly in
