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

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. . - ' :

43.109 pounds of the explosive. Orders for 10,000 pounds more have

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.

his limbs and folded his arms
across his breast. She performed
a similar service for Doctor Thom

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

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.

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
