The Voice From Over the Grange
mHE Grange Bulletin, official organ of the state grange,
I 1 tlL Al f Wl-.s i- IMtnolnl, 4 111 TTVITl4'
Ja. disagrees wuu we vreguu vube m yaoot-uB j""6'"-",
on the last legislature. Where the Voter has praise for the
labors of the members of the legislature, the Bulletin makes
a wry face over the output of the session. It remarks :
"These men were elected because they promised economy
would be the watchword at Salem, that unnecesiiary boards and
commissions would be eliminated, salaries of state officials re
duced commensurate with present conditions and rigid economy
exercised In appropriations."
It numerous functions and divisions of government
which -are licking their wounds is any criterion the legisla
ture did just the job which it promised to do, only Hanzen
and Meier did it first in many cases. A general law reduc
ing salaries from 5 to 30 was passed.
"We find that six millions were added to the tax load
through the enactment of the sales tax, no reduction was made
la the state budget, but instead taxes will be increased $281,000
in excess of the total estimated requirements as jet forth to the
legislature by Governor Meier."
Such a comment is neither honest nor iair. The sales
tax did not add six millions to the tax load. It relieved real
property of that burden. The only portion of the sales tax
which might be considered an additional tax is $250,000 for
a contingent appropriation for relief of destitution. So far
as reductions in the budget are concerned, it depends on
which budgets are taken for comparison. Compared with
the legislative appropriations of two' years ago, the reduc
tions are about five millions of dollars. Disregarding some
omissions like appropriations for market roads, handled
otherwise this year, the reduction in general expenditures
runa about- one-third. Few states equal that record, few
counties or school districts or cities can approximate such
reductions. , , , ai . .
"The legislature not only failed to adopt legislation that
-would effectively regulate utilities, leaving this momentuous
question very much up in the air, but spent its valuable time de
bating the return of fish wheels on the Columbia River, a ques
tion -which was settled with a 30,000 majority when the people
were given the opportunity by the Grange initiative measure in
ie."
Once again the Bulletin is unfair, because the Thomas
bill as amended, if properly and vigorously enforced will sup
ply all the regulation which is required to prevent exploita
tion of public interests. When the teeth in that law get to
biting, well, God help the utility promoter on a night like
this!
"And the results Of the special session, called Just prior to
the regular meeting time, represented an outlay ot state funds
. i Aalt mama wi vH aVi a4 1
estimated at JSa.uou witn aosoiuieiy nuimug awwjiuyox.
We credit the Bulletin here with an unintentional error
in misplacing its decimal point. The expense was $8,500. It
was thrown away, yes; but it did have the effect of fixing
the attention of legislators and the public to the critical state
of Oregon's finances, which the regular session undertook,
and successfully we think, to solve.
Mutterings in the Provinces
OREGON senators have rarely cast more unpopular votes
than when they voted to perpetuate the mileage graft of
20c a mile. There are many rumblings in the commonwealth
over their votes. Since Oregon is about tie farthest re
moved from the national capital the allowance is a fat one,
about $1200 for the round trip which is ensily done for
around $500. , . ,
The Dalles Chronicle is one of the paper which speaks
out:
"McNary and his team mate, Frederick Steiwer, are none
too popular "back home" right now as a result of their votes on
recent controversial issues. McNary and Steiwer voted to re
tain the racketeering 20-cents-a-mile travel allowance for con
gressmen, despite the fact that the actual cost to congressmen
of travel to and from Washington is less than f. cents a mile.
Many congressmen collected their mileage in full at the close of
the regular session, despite the fact that they did not leave
Washington.
"Also, Stelwer's opposition to the Roosevelt economy pro
gram, and his bellicose statement charging Roosevelt with an
attempt to establish a dictatorship, did not set well with his
constituents. Virtually every newspaper in Oregon, republican
and democratic alike, has taken Steiwer to task fur this action."
The accident by which a youth lost his life Monday night was
sad; but its infrequenee Is in decided contrast with former times.
Now public attention Is centered on automobile accidents. A gener
ation ago the train was the chief killer; and as in the case of the
automobile today, the accident was generally the result ot careless
ness. In those days the continuing fear of mothers was over the
.habit of boys to "hop rides" on trains. Just as now they live in dread
of some auto wreck. Many a lad had an arm or a leg clipped off
while enjoying the thrill of stealing a short train ride. How many
grown men today can confess to having their hands peeled on the
cindera of the right-of-way: when they didn't Jump off quickly enough
and tumbled . . . well, rolled end-over-end? Railroading has lost
much of its romance, and boys do not play around railroad yards
like they used to. Their ambitions run now to driving motor cars
and becoming aviators.

Saeagawea, bird woman:
Review by Eva Emery Dye:
"a
Continuing from yesterday.
"Perhaps tbe Item that more than
anything else inclined me to be
lieTe that the Wyoming Sacaja
wea might be the right one la the
presence of that Indian adopted
son Basil, a sub-chief ot the Shc
shones. I had been on the point ot
including Basil In The Conquest.
The Lewis and Clark Journals in
full had not yt been published,
so I had to follow the Biddle text.
At the request of Clark himself,
Mr. Biddle of Philadelphia put the
Journals in shape for their first
publication. And to aid him
George Shannon, the boy of the
expedition, was sent to Philadel
phia to assist.
"When Miss Hebard'a conten
tion first came to public notice I
said, 'Tee, that was the child, of
Saeajawea'a dead sister, the one
she adopted.' The later published
Original Journals furnished no
confirmation of this, but it Is re
corded In the Biddle text, no
doubt from Information given by
Shannon. The boy may hare
thrown Jlght on ot!icr matters, in
cluding Biddle's use ot the name
Sacajawea. Shannon's son told me
his father pronounced it Saca
JAWea. That name seems not to
have been used until after she
met her Shoshones. Before that
she was th Bird-woman, that
Crow woman, that woman from
the Crows, as she was known In
Dakota. They never knew her as
Sacajawea, the Boat-launcher.
S S
"In Wyoming, on the Shoshone
reservation this son Basil was
nearer to her than Baptists, cared
for her until her death. That one
little Item helped me to clear up
a doubt It is very probable that
the woman who died on the upper
Missouri was the other Shoshone
wife of Charbonnean.
-s S
"If Sacajawea stayed with Bap
tists at Saint Louis for a time,
and finally went back to her own
people it would be natural that
she should go with them to their
reservation in Wyoming. Dr. John
Roberts, an Episcopal missionary,
conducted her burial service on
the Shoshone reservation on April
9, 1884. A cement stone marks
the spot. Vigorous to the last she
died in her sleep. Thus passed the
most famous of Indian women,
surpassing even Pocahontas.
"Altogether, Miss Hebard'a au
thoritative work on the heroine
of the Lewis and Clark expedition
Is a most valuable addition to
Americana, touching as it does so
many hitherto unwritten details
of her life and wanderings. The
European Journey ot Baptiste
Charbonneau to the court of
Prince Paul of Wurtemberg, and
his six years of residence there.
all dug out of archives In Stutt
gart, with illustrations of Prince
Paul'a artist, adds a touch of un
expected romance."
S .
The reader has perhaps noted
that the spelling is Saeagawea in
the headline, and Sacajawea in
the body of the article of yester
day and today. The American Ge
ographical Board has recently ad
opted Saeagawea as proper.
"a
There Is surely no doubt now
that Baptiste, the papoose Saea
gawea brought when she accom
panied Lewis and Clark, was her
first born child. His birth was la
the camp ot the explorers on the
Missouri river in the winter of
1804-5; where the city of Man
dan, N. D., Is now located. The
fact that Capt. Clark gave Saea
gawea a string of black beads to
celebrate the coming of her first
born, little Baptiste, is not any
longer questioned by students of
history. The beads were very pre
cious to her, but it la supposed
that she traded that, her most
valued possession, to an Indian
chief of the Chtnooks for an otter
skin robe for her Christmas pres
ent to Capt. Clark at old Fort
Clatsop on January 25, 1805, aft-

Railroad travelers passing

curios and articles ot their re
puted manufacture. These are
remnants of the, Mandan Indians
among whom Lewis and Clark
wintered there -when severe trees

late fall of 1804. It was there that
they engaged as guides Touisaant
Charbonnean and his young slave
wife, Saeagawea, to pilot them
when they should resume their
Journey. In the spring; and to act
as Interpreters.
S
Saeagawea was a Shoshone In
dian girl, bora near the headwa
ters ot the Missouri river. Mlna
tare Indians captured her after
a battle with members of her
tribe, and sold her as a slave to
Charbonnean, who gave her a sta
tion ot plural wife or concnblne.
" S S
With her babe, little Baptiste,
strapped on her back, she led the
expedition through the wilderness
and aometimea over the territory
of hostile tribes. On one occasion,
Saeagawea, at the risk of her life,
saved the Journals of Lewis and
Clark.

When the expedition arrived
near the summit ot the Rockies,
among her own people, she was
able to secure food and supplies

the expedition. Her own brother,
Camaewhalt, she waa surprised to
find, when an interview was ar
ranged and she was to act as In
terpreter, was a chief of their
tribe. Without Saeagawea, the
whole party might have perished,
or been obliged to turn back.

Mrs. Dye is Justified ia calling
her the "most famous ot Indian
women, surpassing even Pocahon
tas." she is also warranted in her
enthusiasm over the discovery at
Stuttgart, Germany. Baptiste. the
uiue aancmg boy," whom Capt.
Clark called "Pomp," will thus

CHAPTER 1
Mary Faith was burning . her
bridges. For three years, almost
four, she had been waiting to burn
them. Waiting to give up her room
at Mrs. Puckett's family hotel in
River Street. Waiting to tell Mr.
Mark Nesbit, the head of the Nes
bit Mercantile Company, that she
was planning to give p her position
as his private secretary just as soon
as he could fill her place. Waiting
to kt her small world know that she
was going to marry Kim Farrell at
last
For three years, almost four, she
had been engaged to marry Kim
FarrelL
For three years she had worn his
modest diamond oa the-thlrd finger
of her left hand, aad had speat part
of every lunch hour embroidering
guest towels and tabic runners for
the home that would be Kim's and
hers some day.
"If you don't get married pretty
soon, Jean Bartlctt, the head stea
ographer at Nesbit's, had said to
her less than a week before, "you'll
own enough hand embroidered
linens to start a shop! I don't be
lieve in these long engagements my
self. There should be a law against
them. . . . Too many girls find them
elves disappointed old maids at the
end of them instead of blushing
brides!"
Mary Faith had not answered her.
She had only looked at her with
dear, untroubled eyes aad smiled.
She had no doubts about Kim Far
relL He loved her just as she loved
him. And so she was willing to
wait for him.
And then late last night, as if to
iustify her faith in him, Kim had
suddenly turned to her in the lamp
lit dimness of Mrs. Puckett's old
fashioned parlor and asked her when
he would marry him.
"Why in about two weeks.
think," she had answered him as
soon as she could get her breath.
"You see, m have to tell Mr. Nes
bit I'm leaving, and it will take me
few days to break his new secre
tary in to do my work. . . . Kim, to
think of us really getting married in
two weeks! Why, I never knew any
one could be so happy as I am right
this minuter
Long afterward H came back to
her that he had said nothing about
his own happiness that night.
At breakfast she had told Mrs.
Puckett that she was going to be
married on the first ef October.
At noon she had broken the news
to Jeaa Bartlctt, who was half ex
pecting to step into her shoes at the
office.
It was half past five ia the after
noon now, aad Mary f attn was
steadiaar at the door of Mr. Mark
Nesbifs private office.
She had something for him to
sign ia one hand and the door knob
in the other. ... It was going to be
hard to opca that door and walk into
the Office to ten him she was Icav
ing Nesbit's at the end of the month.
She had worked for him for four
year one year as a stenographer
and three years as his private secre
tary. The place itself was like home
to her. She had come to love the
big, shabby offices with their cork'
covered floors, their green-shaded
lights and their high, narrow win
dows that faced the west
The people who worked ia them
were her friends all of them, from
Jeaa Bartlett down to Stanley Ode
skafld, the office boy. There was not
one of them whom she was not go
ing to miss in the new life that lay
just ahead of her.
With a keen little sigh she turned
the door knob and stepped into Mr.
Mark Nesbrrs office. He was stand'
ing with his back to the room, look
ing down into the parking space at
die side of the building and fidgeting
with the window shade.
At the sound of the door closing
he swung round and met Mary
J 4J If
iyMj
Tm going to be married on the first of October, Mr. Nesbit," said Mary,
Faith's eyes. Her deep steady eyes
were like Mary Faith herself, some
how. You could not look into them
without seeing that you could bank
on her always for honesty and goodness.
They were dark blue, fringed with
heavy lashes, and they would have
given a certain beauty to even a
plain woman. But Mary Faith was
not plain. Health glowed m her
cheeks and lips with a rose-red flame
that left the rest of her face to the
dusky whiteness of her skin, to the
blackness of her brows aad lashes.
Her dark hair swept up from a
widow's peak on her forehead and
her hps, when she smiled, had the
tilt of flying wings.
She was not smiling now. Serious
and silent, moving like a breath, she
came across the thick carpet of the
office and laid her letters down upon
Mr. Nesbtrs glass-topped desk.
i can mail these on my way
home. Mr. Nesbit" she said quietly
as she stood beside his chair, watch
ing him sign his name to them one
by one.
He had nice, clever-looking haads,
she thought watching them amove
across the papers in front of him.
She had always liked his nice, home
ly face, his dark quick glance, his
firm, pleasant way of giving orders
She knew that he was a bachelor
and that he was only thirty-four
years old. She knew too that he
was making a tremendous success of
the business that had been left to
him by his father.
But neither his money . nor his
attractive bachelorhood had ever
had any power to stir Mary Faith.
For she had met Kim Farrell just
a little while after she began to work
at Nesbirs, and since that time
there had been only one man ia the
world for her Kim.
"Mr. Nesbit" she said when Mr.
Nesbit had laid down his fountain
pen and was blotting the last of the
letters, "Mr. Nesbit, I want to tclJ
you that I am going to leave at the
end of this month."
He turned in his chair and gave
her a sharp frowning look.
"Leaving?" he repeated. "Leav
ing? What do you mean? Don't
things suit you here?".
I m going to be married on the
first of October, Mr. Nesbit."
He went oa frowning at her a mo
ment or two longer.
"Married," he said finally in a flat
colorless voice. "I see."
"I'm sure Miss Bartlett can do my
work, and I think she'd like to have
the position," Mary Faith went on.
If you decide to give it to her I'll
be glad to show her everything;
she'll need to know, before I leave.
She waited for him to answer her;
but he said nothing. He sat looking
at her with a puzzled, curious look
in his eyes.
The room was very stilL Outside
the half past five whistles began to
blow. An unseen door somewhere
in the building banged twice. In the
outer office Stanley Odeskalki began
to whistle "The Wedding of the
Winds." He had been whistling
maddening bits of it all day long.
"IH be sorry to leave," said Mary,
Faith with a nervous little catch in
her voice. "I've enjoyed working
for you. Mr. Nesbit."
Still he said nothing, and there
seemed to he nothing more for her
to say. She turned to go, and at her
sudden movement Mr. Nesbit gave a
start as if he were waking from a
deep reverie.
"Wait a minute," he said. "I I
suppose I should have been exact
ing this. But the fact is that it takes
me completely by surprise. Some
how or other, I've never connected
yon with the idea of getting married
and going away."
