Changing the! Indian Schools .
BRIEF news reports from Washington are to the effect
that the Indian bureau is going to change its plan for
educating Indian boys and girls. Instead of being; picked up
and shipped off to boarding school, the children will remain
at home and attend school close to home. In doing this it
will carry out the recommendations of Superintendent Lapps
of Chemawa and of other "students of Indian education.-
Past history of the efforts of the government to deal
with the Indians reveals a record of about 100 error. The

Vhim remain an Indian, but a
one.
Zeal for salvation of the souls of the red men prompted
the first work of the whites among them. Catholics sent out
priests to save them from hell and purgatory and the Pro
testants; and the Protestants sent out missionaries to save
them from hell and the Catholics. The Indian agents in this
abiti in the eariv davs were missionaries who combined
schooling, baptizing and governing. The Indians were herd
ed off in reservations until it was found their land was val
uable then they were shunted elsewhere. This- shabby treat
ment has continued to our own times. Remnants of the
C Pueblos in New Mexico have had recent bitter fights in or
j der to save their scant lands with some water which the
- neighboring whites coveted.
A recent report of the Institute for Government Re

"Thus wore away the terrible

and the word but poorly expresses
our situation during that memor
able winter. To fully understand
our situation one has but to ima
gine oneself in a strange land, far
from human aid, sare from those
environed as ourselves. We were
S,Q0o- miles from 'home,' sur
rounded by a primeval wilderness,
in which ever lurked the treach
erous savage. Happily for. us and
for all. no -annoyance or real dan
ger threatened us from that quar
ter. A few years before, 'a salu
tary lesson had been tanght the
savages. The deadly rifles of the
pioneers had instUled into their
bosoms a wholesome fear. Infor
mation had reached the settlers
that the Indians contemplated a
massacre that they were going
to break out, Th' information
reached them through the medium
of a friendly Indian. The resnlt
was that the settlers broke out'
first. A company was formed, con
sisting of about all the able bodied
men within reach. The savages
were encountered on the Molalla
and after a sharp fight were dis
persed or killed. Several were left
dead on the ground. The whites
had one man wounded. Thus the
war power .of the Molallaa was de
stroyed forever.

"In this- connection I wish to
make a disgression, which I trust
my readers will pardon. It has oft
en been nrged that the white man
has shown little gratitude and no
pity for the aborigines of this
country. This I wish to refute. The
Indian that brought the word of
warning to the white settlers was
ever the object of tender soucf
tude on the part of those whom he
had befriended. I hare seen that
Indian, then old and possibly
worse off tor his association with
dTUizaUon, sitting down and boss
ing a gang of Chinamen cutting
and soIKttng wood for Dan'l Wal
do. The Indian, 'Qulnaby,' always
contracted the sawing of the wood
at $2 per cord, and hired the
Chinamen to do the work tor 60
cents per cord. He had a monopoly
on the wood-cawing business for
Mr. Waldo. Wesley-. Shannon, and
other Id pioneers. It mattered not
to 'Qulnaby that prices went
down, his contract price remained
the same, and the old pioneers
heartily enjoyed the joke, and de
lighted la telling it en them

Time has wrought changes in the
Shenandoah valley, cradle of a ,
00 0,00 -barrel apple industry.
Basket packing is displacing the
time honored barrel as the tern,
porary custodian of the fsuit on
Its journey to market and a com
forting blanket of sod adding a
further touch of color to the scene
in the summer la spreading
through the orchards. -
These are the changing condi
tions as Tie wed by Carroll R, Mil
ler, secretary of the Berkeley
County Fruit Growers association,
that are taking place In this great
apple belt that festoons the Virginia-West
Virginia boundary
line.
In that raUey'belt, the growing
of apples has become a great busi
ness In the past 10 years, and to
day the extent of the operations
of some growers rivals that of the
old cotton plantations of the south
and the cattle kingdoms of the
west There are scores of growers
who individually produce and
market 40,000 or 50,000 barrels
annually.
New York state growers are ex
pected to visit the state on their
August pilgrimage.
Community packing houses
hare made Uttle headway in the
Shenandoah due to each planta
tion's necessity for a jacking plant
of ita own, MUler explained.
Concentrating around the Vir
ginia-West Virginia line with
Frederick county, Virginia, and
Berkeley county.. West Virginia,
the heaviest producers, the C.OOO.-
eeo barrel crop comes front ap
proximately 10,000,090 trees, 40,
per cent of which are -not yet
heavy bearers.
The New York Imperial apple
etui predominates although ao re
cent plantings bare been made.
