LET THE ALASKA INDIANS IN The Salem United States Indian training school is not allowed to receive or educate the Indian boys and girls from Alaska. The Alaska students in that institution now, re ceived up to two or three years ago, are among the brightest I and best and most promising of the student body ; Snt when they shall have gone out into the world with r"allotted training and teaching secured there, no more of r brothers and sisters of our far northern territory will allowed the pivileges they have enjoyed and are enjoy and the present value of the balance is estimated at $225,- 000 to $250,000.

Since June 1st, 3200 books have been added to Willamette university's library; added to the more than 20,000 volumes previously owned and there is no available room to hold more ; nor strength in the present building to safely support their weight. And more and more books are needed, for the growing institution. There must be a new library build ing, among the first of the next ones to be provided.

The Indian boy or girl from the plains of Montana or the Dakotas and clear into Nebraska may be admitted here. That is right But so should the Alaskan Indian boys and girl3. There is not room enough for all of them here. There is1 not room enough for all the others from this contributing territory, even excluding the Alaskans. But what the Unit ed States government owes to the oil and timber and mineral and agricultural land treaty Indians of the rest of this sec tion of th ltry it surely owes in at least like measure to the Alaska ..dians, who have had no treaty wealth or any ther kind of decent treatment. There should be selection of the best and most promising and deserving, from all over the contributing territory, in cluding the territory of Alaska. The Oregon and other delegations in congress from this section should see to it that the rules are changed so as to allow this injustice tojoedone away with, and quickly. , - i v T.- v. w w TTni?

C. horticultural specialist, who has just completed a week of pruning demonstrations in Lane county. It is the soundest kind of advice. The orchardist who grows 35s, Mr. Long points out, receives at present average prices seven times as much, for his prunes as his neighbor who grows 60's. That is pretty good evi dence that it pays to grow 35's and 40's. , . . Prunes that run 35 to the pound are in good demand, while prunes that run 60 to the pound are a drug on the market." That is good advice. The Eugene Register is right, as a long range, average year proposition. But this is a peculiar year hjOb pnini industry ; in the prune market.

It is the other -around The little prunes are in good demand and going fast, while the big prunes are going slowly, and to the high class, dis criminating trade. But the little prunes have been going at very low prices, and this is the greatest little prune year in the history of the industry, in point of volume of sales; and more espec ially sales of California and Oregon prunes.

Character, not wealth, was the basis of their lives and their objectives. In the true philosophy of life, wealth and power and speed are not the main thing. The main thing is the mind and its moral and spiritual attributes, and in these things the rug- ited pioneer life, the perils of the environment and the vie tones over barriers and obstacles yielded one of the clean est and strongest civilizations known to human history.

READ THIS FIRST: Bob Terry la released from pris on after three ears for a crime be did net commit. Peter Bor den, his employer, thinking Bob was guilty, thought it his "duty to send Bob to prison. Bob Is re leased with hatred in his heart for Borden, and determines to make him suffer as he has suffered Borden, sorry for his mistake. takes Bob. into his home and of fers to share his fortune with the man he sent to prison. Bob stays at the home of Borden and plots to "get" him. Bob meets Lois Bor den, the beautiful daughter of Peter Borden. In the old days Bob has worshipped Lois from afar. Todd Shannon, Bob's pris on pal, tells Bob to see John Car- mody, the state's leading crim inal lawyer and political boss. John Carmody Is in lore with Kathleen Shannon, his private sec retary, but she is not aware of it. He rings for Kathleen and tells her he wants to talk with her. Carmody tells Kathleen he would like to meet Bob Terry. Peter Borden has left a letter for Bob Terry. Peter Borden writes Bob that he has opened up a bank account for him. Bob wishes Lois Bor den would stop being sorry for him. Bob decides to see Kath leen Shannon, niece of Bob's pris on pal. Kathleen takes Bob to John Carmody, who offers him a position. Bob is much impressed with John Carmody and considers his offer; Bob Terry meets Bruce Rich ardson, who has loved Lois Bor den since school days. Bruce tells Lois about Kathleen Shannon, Carmody's private secretary. (Now go on with the Story.) oo Chapter 12 fTljHE girl turned away quickly She knew that her cheeks flushed and she did not want Richardson to see. But his keen eyes did not miss the gesture and he experienced quick contraction of the heart. Lois didn't seem to know how he felt. With him she made no effort to conceal her own feelings, and if she knew that he loved' her. she gave no sign. He was the man to whom she turned for friendship and counsel, and Bruce knew that the line between mere friendship and love is a bar rier difficult to surmount. He waited for the Inevitable question. "What is she like?" "Who?" "Carmody's secretary?" "I don't know." He chose his words with care. "I've only heard rumors, of course; not particular ly pleasant ones. Her uncle is a convict. It seems to be pretty general knowledge around town that Carmody's weakness is wo men. But then there would be that sort of talk under those cir cumstances. The public tongue is not overly charitable." She spoke without looking at him. "You can find out?" "I can try." "You see If she is that soTt of a girl, and If she Is the attraction which keeps Bob out every day and every night Oh! Can't you see. Brace how Important she be comes In this effort Dad and I are making? Can't yon see that it is the direct conflict between de cency and Indecency? "So is everything in Bob's life rta-ht now. Lois. I didn't know him before he went to prison; but I know him now. Even yet he is sensitive to Impressions, and I can fancy what he must have been three yean ago. In all that time he has associated only with con victed criminals: his one friend if a burglar or a robber or what ever you like. what Is more natural than that he should hate you and me our whole class ?sWe are the decent, smug, self-satisflec people who do not commit crimes. who have no contact with the seamy side of life. We are the type hated by the very ones on whom Bob has relied for three years for friendship. That's why the task Isn't easy: Bob has never committed a crime, but he has been made a criminal." "A criminal?" "Of , course. Psychologically he's a criminal. He thinks as they do, sees things through their eyes. And remember that the very fact of his Innocence has intensified that bitterness." "Then yon think " "Merely that he cannot be made over in a day. Nearly two months have passed. Apparently no prog ress has been made. But there is some change. At least he has not definitely cast his lot with the friends of his prison cellmate. He continues to live in this house. and the environment must be hav ing Its effect. You musn't expect too orach too soon. It will work out all right. truly think so. Bruce?" His eyes smiled, but his heart shriveled. He looked into her face and saw that her original pity for the wreck of a young man was perilously close to the borderland of a deeper sentiment. She was idealising Bob Terry rather than understanding him. She was suf fering with him, rather than for him. And so, because Lois Bor den cared more for Terry than she knew, she turned in. her trou ble to this wistful friend of a life time; this tall and slender and gentle young man who had been her knight-errant and her lover since childhood "We must pull hiin '.hrough Bruce," she cried. "I can't do it alone. Some man must help. Will you?" If the hand which held the pipe trembled, and if the fine blue eyes clouded with pain, Lois Borden did not know. She only knew that his deep voice soothed her with its quiet confidence. 'Certainly, I'll help. Lois." Then with a wlstfulness she did not fathom "I always have." o At first glance, one might have noticed a physical similarity be tween Peter Borden .and Jonas Merriwether. They were of an age and about the same height; the hair of each man was rather sparse and definitely sparse and definitely inclined to grayness. But closer inspection 'would have shown that wheTeas Borden's eyes were wide-set and clear, those of Jonas Merriwether were too close together and rather colorless. Merriwether occupied the seat at the head of the tabe. He was somewhat pompous and very dig nified, as befitted the president of the Berkeley Steel company. He spoke to his board of directors softly and suavely and seemed to take particular interest in his operating vice president, who faced him across the length of the gleaming mahogany table. Borden, vice president, was ill at ease. These five men were as sociates of a lifetime, men whom he knew Intimately in society and business. They were slightly old er than he and they discussed his intimate affairs with a frank ness which grated upon him. but which he could not resent because he understood the friendly spirit which backed it. It was Horace Lamber, one of the directors, who put the ques tion direct. "Before we start the meeting, Peter tell me if it's true." "What?" "The whole situation. I under stand the thing in a general way but specifically. Just how far are you going with young Terry?" The ghost of a frown crossed Borden's forehead, but he did not evade the question. "As far as he wUl permit, Horace." "And that It ?" "Not very. I don't quit eunder- stand the lad. I have had him in my house now for two months. I have given him money which he accepted without a word. But he has spent very little of it. I gave him carte blanche to outfit him self with the best tailor in the city, but he has bought only two inexpensive ready-made suits. He avoids us as much as possible." "Embarrassment, of course." "Not entirely. That would have worn off by this time. Es pecially in my home. It's a queer case. I had Intended bringing it up myself at the meeting this morning. I feel that I should not act independently, and yet " The cool, suave voice ?f Jonas Merriwether broke in. "Aren't rou making somewhat of a fool of yourself about this boy, Borden? Aren't you Inviting disaster?" Peter Borden flushed. "How?" "By the lengths to which you are going. Of course. I suppose rumor exaggerates in this case, as it does in all others, but it is com mon gossip about the city that you have told Terry that whatever you have is his and that he has only to ask for it." "That," returned Borden with quiet dignity, "is true." "Good God! To a criminal ?" "Just a minute, Jonas, please. The boy ? not a criminal. He never has been. He went to pris on for a crime he did not com mit" "Surely. Young and sensitive to impressions and bitter against the world. And what has he done since: spent three of the forma tive years of his life associating with convicts and absorbing their philosophy. That's why he isn't happy In your house; that's why this softness and indulgence Is hurting Instead of helping. I know something of what that boy has been through and I'm sorry for him. But Just the same, Borden, you're dealing : with a criminal type." "And whose fault is it?" "Nobody's. You thought he was guUty. You were conscien tious enough to drop personal feelings and assist In a prosecution which you thought was Just " "And may I not be equally con scientious in making reparation?" "Oh! The devil! You should have been a courthouse lawyer not an industrial man. I wish you luck with the lad." "I'm glad of that, Jonas, be cause I want your endorsement of something I propose to do." "Eh?" Merriwether'a suavity fell dangerously upon him again. "What?" "Bob Terry's chief need now is work. Regular daily work for a salary. He was an employe of this company when we sent him to prison, and I think " " that he should come back to us?" "Yes." Merriwether's eyes narrowed. "That might be arranged, Peter. But, of course, in a very minor po sition." Peter Borden rose and faced his president. "That won't do, Jonas.!' "Why not?" "You forget that this company is responsible for what has hap pened to Bob Terry. It is my idea to offer him the salary he would have been earning had he remained with us, as he undoubt edly would have done. Then to promote him as rapidly as possi TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO o - o (From Columns of The Statesman, January 28, 1008.) The basement of the city hall has been flooded for the past two days. Canton, O.

Do not fold. Trim. Name Address VOID AFTER MARCH 10TH, 1928 ANYONE CAN VOTE FOR FRIENDS and Surrounding Territory? IS IT NEEDED? IS IT WANTED? Three Pertinent Questions What's the Answer? Much thought and considerable discussion have been de voted to the solution of the problem indicated by these ques. tions. It is true that much has been accomplished. It is equally true that much more remains to be done. Not only that, but there is grave danger that our local dairying industry, one of the most important in the Willam ette valley, may vanish almost completely. There are few er milk cows on our farms today than there were a year ago. California and Washington have been taking consid erable dairy stock away from us in wholesale lots, and heifer calves have been slaughtered at birth and up to six months. Thus have we been burning our candles at both ends. Warning notes along this line have recently been sounded in addresses, by men who know, before granges, chambers of commerce and other civic bodies. Practically every newspaper in the Willamette valley has given generously of its space in reporting these talks, and emphasizing the gravity of the situation in their editorial columns. i Occasional mention is made of the possibility of turning hitherto discarded by-products of the dairy industry into profitable commercial commodities. Everybody agrees that it should be done ; but nobody is doing it. In order to transform a possibility into dividend-paying, employment-giving, business stimulating reality, it is now proposed to effect the immediate installation, in Salem, of the first unit of a chain of factories that will convert what is now considered of little or no value into Molken, a highly profitable, commercial product. Possible By-Products Molken is a century-old family "stand-hy" of the Swiss people, than whom there is not a healthier or more vigorous people anywhere on earth. They begin its use in infancy and simply do not get sick. They continue its use in old age, and stay well. Molken is a by-product resulting from the manufacture of Swiss cheese which, in itself, is a profit able industry. The production of Molken provides an addi tional and hitherto utterly neglected source of revenue. Therefore, it forms the basis of an entirely new industry. Its production here will prove of inestimable value to the entire Salem district, and the whole state of Oregon as well. For one thing, it .will encourage the raising of larger dairy herds. By focussing attention on the Willamette valley it will constitute a decidedly valuable advertising asset. It is not at all extravagant to predict that in twelve months . Molken, in bottles and cans, with a Salem, Oregon, label at- tached, will be a welcome visitor to every state in the union. Ready To Go Arrangements for the installation of a complete, up-to-date factory are now under way. Formulas and processes, for the scientific, profitable production of Molken have been ,T secured. A trained expert from Switzerland, with diplomas and prizes awarded for exceptional skill and efficiency, U on the ground ready to assume the direction of the plant. Provision has been made with nearby dairy farmers for an ample and dependable milk supply. The demand for the various types of fancy cheeses, produced in the making of Molken, far exceeds the supply, and is steadily growing. It will not be necessary to create a market. It is here. All that remains to be done is to go ahead and produce. I Every Salemite owes it to himself to know more about . Molken and the splendid possibilities it holds for the revival and healthy development of our dairying industry. Just mail a postal card with your name and address to The Molken Company, p. o.
