metropolis enjoys.
!'TheIr schools' are particularly
efficient. 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;

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

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. ' I i

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." . -
