I .was told that nine years ago only 30 per cent of the population could 'readv and' write, whereas now over 90 per cent of them, both adults and children, are': well advanced in the rudi ments of schooling. "So efficient- were the schools there that Kenneth Price, a Seat tle high school boy in- my" crew-, requested permission to remain in Petropavlosk for a year to study special branches, and I allowed him to do it. - "The people of Petropavlosk are strong for outdoor sports, and persons of both sexes, young and old; take a keen delight in the almost weekly . contests waged in the city stadium. The fisheries of Kamchatka are a Japanese con cession, but the agreement seems to be administered most amic ably." ' . -,H; PIGEON LOFT IS ADDED NINE' YOUNG BIRDS TO MAKE?

' - " 1 S TOPIC Iff ROTM Chief Geo rge Bent, of Chem- awa, Main Speaker for -Luncheon Wednesday The idea of estblishing schools for Indians in the United States and incidentally in the world was instigated by Captain R H. Pratt, the Rotariana were told by Chief George Bent, disciplinarian at the Indian training school at Chema- wa, at their wekly luncheon Wed nesday. , Captain Pratt had a great deal of experience with the Indians when he was ' fighting them in the days when the United States was growing, into the west. The first Indian school Was es tablished at Carlisle, and to this day has been one of the foremost Indian schools in the country. Mr. Bent; by the way, was at one time a student at Carlisle. Although the Indians - were at first' difficult, to educate, Mr. Bent declared that in the last 25 years they have made rapid prog ress both in the home and in edu cation. A very interesting legend was revealed to the Rotarians! by the speaker; a legend belonging to the Lawnee Indians. Before starting on the legend, Mr. Bent declared that in .most legends there is a great deal of truth, but the people do not : look into them, deeply enough to discern it. j j The legend told by Mr. Bent has to Jo with the creation of the world. In the beginning jTerowa, the great mysterious one, ruled over all. The morning star and the evening star were the great forces in the heavens. The even ing star Bought to hinder jcreation, and the morning, star sought to help It. I The evening stir threw obstacles in the path of, tie morn ing star; but these he overcame, and finally the two were attracted to each other, and both gave their all to help in creation, j According to the legend, the Milky Way is the pathway of the! departed spirits.

Holt is secretary and man ager of the Eugene Fruit Growers association. He is the best fruit authority in that section. Answer ing an inquiry from the Slogan editor, writes from Eugene under date of October 5:) "This year's Italian prune crop in Lane county has been the short est it has ever been in the memory of the writer. The association dry- er here at Eugene was practically the only dryer operated in the county; this was only running to a small part of its capacity for about a week. We doubt whether there wilt be two -cars of prunes sent out of the county this year. The cannery canned about six cars of prunes." . - Famous Stage Drama Is Coming Here Wednesday "LighthlnV the famous play ; which ran for three years at the 11 Gelety theater.
