LORD WITH US "la not the Lord your God with us? and hath He not, Elven you reaC. on. every side? tor He hath given the inhabitants of the land into thy hand." 1 Chron, 22:18. A MILESTONE OF PROGRESS retored insisted JJ The ; mass meeting at the Salem Chamber of Comment rooms tomorrow evening will mark the active opening of a campaign the complete success of which will mean more to Salem and the Salem district industrially! than ' could be accomplished by any other one thing - The signing up of a minimum of a thousand acres of sugar beets to be grown next year- : Leading to 8000 acres in 1928 for a beet sugar factory ; And pointing to the time when there will be many sugar factories in the Willamette valley - I When this valley "will be the sugar bowl of the country When our dairy products, will be -worth hundreds of mil lions of dollars annually, and our poultry and live stock industries will be multiplied many times, and, other industries on the land increased almost beyond present belief or imagin ation. Everything needful is here We can grow the beets successfully The demand for sugar is constant and steadily increasing. ;J The indirect benefits are very many ? Irrigation will be speeded up ! The profits to growers will be good w Their production conserves and increases soil fertility Beet sugar will lead to corn and artichoke sugar fj Big irrigation and power projects will be aided '.j Sugar beets give a permanent and balanced prosperity Z This is the logical place for major development in this field; ; ' , , Santiam irrigation district alone can furnish "the beets for at least ten factories x Pulp can be dried and serve throughout the year - The industry should be pushed, for the good of the whole industry m this country ; for massed influence for protec- Sugar is chehiically wind and water; iakes no fertility from the soil v . Us growing, will help every other crop- Power alcohol can be made from beets; also commercial Fertilizer of high value from the molasses Sugar making will bring better shipping facilities, includ ing still water in the Willamette v ; " j : We can get the factories if we will 'go -after them, and tay4With it Home made sugar will stimulate fruit growing and can dling and barreling; will save the. freight on their needed sugar , " " ; - And these are only just a few of the high lights of the importance of the industry. Whole books1 might be written "about it, and only begin to cover the subject. w MISLED : ' " - Iisled, the Marion county grange has voted against a tpounty agent .s And nearly all those who thus voted will see their mis Hake.; for we must and will have an agent, sooner or later. . ' iThe grangers 'o Marion county represent 236 of the 1388 farms of Marion county in"l925. (We have more now.) tThat is, they represent about 5 per cent of our farms; and ymore than half of the actual farmers in the grange would now favor a county agent, if not misled; if not swayed by fallacious arguments. 1 - t - ACTIVITIES OF A COUNTY AGENT , Marioii county has much more essential work for a county agent than Columbia county but in that county the time of ;t he agent is fully taken The following news item from this ;week's issue of the St. Helens Sentinel will give an idea of his activities:. :, : i ' , i t ., "George A. Nelson county agricultural agent, shows quite some jactirity in his monthly report for October. During that month he spent eight and one-half days in the office, eighteen and one-half daya in the field, and observed four holidays. He traveled 133 mUes j uy aoio, suienaea live demonstrations, at wnicn a total oi 124 were s present; and appeared at three extension service meetings, the total attendance of which was 250. One hundred and five office calls were t received, and the telephone was answered eighty-three times. .Three hundred copies of circular letters were mailed, 'and 152 letters were received by the agent. . - ' : 1 One car of pyrotol, ordered last month, has arrived, loaded with 43.109 pounds of the explosive. Orders for 10,000 pounds more have come into the office, making the largest yet.-this eally in the fall "Dairymen were approached on the subject of joining the cow testing ansocIaUoHr f ive joining."" The junior project of training the Yankton . Etock judging team was taken care of. and farmers in the Scappoo.se district were aided in destroying gophers. A total i of three cars of ground" lime will be ordered when the car now Tordered arrives 4 from the state" lime plant." ' ' , i .-' VINEMA HEROINE MODOC INDIAN1 WAR : t (CoBtiniird from Page J.)

Wi-ne-mai became the wife of Frank Riddle and it was now that Frank. -lor the i first time "under stood Wi-ne-ma's love song. ; As time sped, trouble arose be tween the whites and a band of Modocs nnde Captain Jack Bnt Wl-ne-ma, although a cousin of Chief Jack, and of subchief Schon ohin. remained true to her hus band's people as well as to the Modocs Partly for this reason, and partly because she and her husband .spoke the two languages required she excelling in Modoc and he in English they became official interpreters tn the war be tween the Modoc and the whites. At the request of the U. S. peace commission, Wi-ne-ma' re paired to the lava beds in the Tnle Late region, April 9. 1873, where she arranged for the last meeting of the commission with "the Modoc chiefs. While return ing from her mission she learned from a trustworthy Indian that on the previous night the chiefs in council had determined to mass acre the commissioners. ,'i She told tae commissioners what the Modocs had decided to do and then besought General Gil lem to dissuade General Canby from attending the council. The caution proving of no avail, she returned sorrowfully to her cave in the cliffs that overlooked i the lava beds. On the morn of April 11, 1873, Wi-ne-ma appealed once more to General Canby. but in vain. She then told him what, although the Indians would probably kill; her also, she; would g along in the hope that she might be of some service In preventing bloodshed, j She kissed her little son,! Jeff. Good-bye, saying, "I may never see you again", and with the peace commission, Wi-ne-ma went to the place of the massacre. iV-During "-the conference aptain Jack" three times Hemanded " of General Canby his,p.romise to per--mlt the Modocs to remain in their own country; and three times the general refused. At this time Hooker Jim, In a suspicious man ner, slipped Meacham's overcoat over himself, and as he was ad miring the brass buttons, he said: Me Meacher now." Meacham, observing the threat ening attitude of the Indian, said: "Here Jim, take my cap." i Me notak' em now. Me ketch'em bymby. You see," said Jim. Then Meacham, turning to Gen eral Canby aid: "General, for heaven's sake, promise him." Captain Jack, after a few words to Meacham. shouted: "Ut win kutt". or "Let's do it", and treacherously shot General Canby under the eye. Canby ran. Bo gus Charley threw down the gen eral and cut his throat, Boston Charley killed Dr. Thomas, and Schonchin shot Meacham f seven i times, while Wi-ne-ma so inter fered, that he failed of good aim. Shaknasty .Jim emptied a! revol ver at the fleeing Frank Riddle without effect, and Hooker Jim a bullets failed to get Atent Dyer- While the assassins were secur ing General Canby's swora ana strinDine the victims of their clothes, Boston Charley said: "I guess I'll take Meacham's scalp along to remember him by." He cut a gash reaching from Meacham's ear to the middle oi his forehead in spite of Wi-ne-ma's efforts to stay his hand. She screamed: "The soldiers are coming." The Indians fled to their fortress, although there was not a soldier in sight. A pitiful scene was that of Wl- .a. a a. aj 11. . ne-ma on ner Knees oesiue iue dead Canby, as she straightened his limbs and folded his arms across his breast. She performed a similar service for Doctor Thom as, who was breathing his last. When she observed py the .tremor of Colonel Meacham's rips that there were yet signs of life, she wrapped her saddle blanket about him, placed, her, shawl under his head for a pillow, and, Jon her steed, sped away for help. f Midway between the peace tent and Glllem's camp, she met; the soldiers.: who were soon at the place of the massacre.: j K r Upon 'regaining consciousness otone 1 Meacham asked : ; "Did they kill Wi-ne-ma".

Muely made an attempt, it is said. to find Bpme record of a Tessel having been sunk y at the spot where he found the , flotsam,, but discovered nothing authentic to 1 connect his find with the fabled treasure fleet. - Within a stone's throw; of the proposed ocean drive the wreck age of the supposed . treasure fleet still lies, according to, tradir tion, but it is hidden by the waves that have voided countless other attempts of 15th and 16th cen tury pirates to transfer the wealth of the New World to a crumbling Spain. SECT OF SHAKERS NEAR EXTINCTION bank Continued from jMtga 1.) monastic in color. Like monks and nuns they toiled for their church, gave succor to the needy. and maintained the relationship of brothers and sisters. The "pooling" of lands and all re sources in the hands of the church made it a communistic enterprise There was little intellectual life, and education was not en couraged until the later years of the church.; The Shakers believed that Adam and Eve were the physical progenitors of man, but that man's spiritual nature sprang from the mythical union of Jesus and Ann Lee. But the church and cpmmunist colonies founded on these beliefs and practices did not prosper. There were desertions; schisms broke out. Within comparatively few. years the membership in Ohio dropped from more than a thou sand to the one lone Shaker still in Lebanon, and the total mem bership in all the colonies In America from more than 6.000 to less than half a thousand.

All of these quarters will be. well lighted by light wells which are being installed in the sidewalks along the west side of the-building. Lockers and lava tories for the officers are also to be installed in the basement, and will be accessible by a stairway leading from the rear of-the: of ficers' quarters.

"Work Requires Time The construction work is being done by Mr. A. A. Siewert of Sa lem, under, the direction, and su pervision of Messrs.

A Matter of Pride Salem has long had reason tc. 'eel pride in the splendid equip ment of her largest and oldest The Ladd & Bush bank was established in 1868. The or iginal-quarters and equipment were very good; but there have been Improvements and enlarge ments from time to time. Several ears ago. one of the best and largest manganese steel safes made was installed, and the whole interior of the bank quarters en larged and improved. The present work more than an extension. It is almost a complete rebuilding and rearrangement of the bank ing quarters. y Safety to Safety. There is probably not another bank on the whole coast that has such a complete safety protection. The reporter : will probably not convey it all to the average read er, because he does not grasp all the details himself. ? An idea may be had, however, in the fact that in the first place the coin safe is of manganese steel; then thi3 is contained in a great manganese steel safe; then this great safe is in a fireproof and burglar proof vault, with burglar alarms and all the safety devices known to mod ern science. If there were more and better ways of protection, they would be employed. Biggest "Country" Bank The Ladd & Bush bank is in rioiut of business done the largest 'tnry'' bank in the . Pacific jorthwst:S. Jts- -business :,is as large, "for Instance. as"that"of all the 'banks in. rich old v Yamhill county. Some reader may object to Ihe name term, "country bank." Holding that Salem is a real city now. But that is . a term used as a distinguishing one to differenti ate such a 'bank as this from banks In the metropolitan cities. The Ladd & Bush bank is much larger in 'point Of business than many big city banks. -"'": Will Be Convenient There are now about 45 em ployees working in Salem's big gest bank. graduating in IS 57 he was ass tant professor of mathematics the outbreak of the, war.
