Fer Copy t cents On trains and News Stands ( centa Papers Protest Closing NEWS of the closing of the Indian school at Chemawa has brought very general opposition from the press of Ore gon! It is hot just; because the school is so much "pork" to the state, but because of the work it is doing with Indian routh. Chemawa is offering specialized training which pub lic schools cannot give the Indians, and which, they will not get if the school is 'dosed. . - 1 The Klamath Falls Herald has the opportunity of observ ing the work of Chemawa from another angle, because it sees the Klamath Indians who. come to the school and then return home., It has been quick to condemn the proposed dosing,! commenting in part as follows: "Commissioner Collier, appointed director of Indian affairs by President Roosevelt, baa cone ahead with some degree of ln conslderatton with the suggestion-of abandoning the Chemawa Indian school six miles north of Salem. His suggestion follows oat a policy ot economy, but there can be no economy in termin- - atiag such a useful and successful institution. "Klamath county, should be particularly interested In this school, for numerous young Indians from the reservation 'accept Its educational advantages. It la not a school limited to Oregon; it serves the entire northwest country and In this region there la no small Indian population. 7 "The cost of conducting this school on a year to year basis, "as described by the Portland Journal, has been estimated at 8180.000. not an ezhorbltant sum when It Is remembered there la a student body enrollment of Just under 1000. This school is a real and temporary borne to many Indian youths, for more than half the students have but one parent each or are completely ' orphaned. They would be Immediately thrown upon the white world should the school be discarded.

Wage Boosts THE record is running true to form. Factories are reopen ing, and with the reports of mills operating on longer schedules come reports of wage increases. The mere fact that an increase of 10 in wages is announced, while gratify in, is no occasion for belief that prosperity is back again and 1929 wage scales restored. The fact is that some wage cuts have been very severe and it will take many 10s to bring them back to former levels. Editor and Publisher observes as follows : "W are all for the publication of news real news about price Increases and wage advancements. This stuff Is calculated ' to pace recovery of national confidence. But editors need to be alert to spike publicity takes in jthls connection. For instance, last week the prfsfof the whole country fell for a story about a 10 per -cent Increase in the wages of a Wall Street brokerage concern, with offices scattered oxer the country. It sounded good, but the fact was that a 10 per cent increase did not mean wage recovery to the several hundred employes whose pay had been eut. since 1930. Just 75 per cent. In January, last, the employes ot the concern were put on a three-week working month. After the bank moratorium in March they were re stored to full time, but an additional 10 per cent was taken from their pay. What happened last week, to give a semblance of - truth to the laudatory-story that the brokers were doing their patriotic duty. was. that the 10 per cent taken from them in , March was restored . The pleasing thing is that the downward trend has stop ped, and employers are thinking in terms of wage increases and not of decreases. This is advisable, because it means restoration of purchasing power. y-- Ureat Uiscovery s I AYS the Portland Journal: fet . k X fcj V11C A. v there ia a strone nublic That is a remarkable concession for the Portland Journal to make; and having made the discovery as to public senti ment, the Journal may now be expected to endorse laws LeaveTto'the Journal to follow the fickle weather vane of public sentiment." ... . . . f For our part we thought public sentiment against mur der was widespread and dated clear back to the slaying of Abel.

Joan Hastings, seventeen, and beautiful, lives a aecluded life with her two old maiden aunts in a run down house. She f alia in love with Bill Martin, a garage worker. Meanwhile, the aunts plan to send Joan away to school. Bill tells the girl that he's very poor and it may be years before he can think of marrying, but she vows she will wait for him. Joan ia overjoyed when news arrives that ahe la to go away to school. NQW GO ON WITH THE STORY. . CHAPTER VII That night, with the door locked, and her heart beating painfully and hotly, she wrote her first love letter. But the words that slipped so natur ally sod warmly from her lips when Bill's tanned cheek waa close to hers, looked strange and lonely on the white paper. Oh I cant write it I" she whispered. "I cant" The .hands on the battered alarm clock pointed to nine. And ahe wanted to post it that night! So discarding the pen, and the few sheets of Christmas notepaper that were left, ahe grabbed her stubby lead pencil and school tablet, and wrote firmly and quickly ia her round school-girl hand : "Dear Bill. Can yon be on the hfB,.you - know wherer-about four tomor row afternoon? I am not going to school, I am going to the city with Aunt Eyrie, bat we will be back by then. Be sure to come, it ia important. I must see yon I have lota to tell yon. Dont for get. I've just got to see you. . - Your always loving Joan." Gerwin brought it to him when he came back from lunch the next day. "Letter for yon. Bin. Lady friend!" Dolores, Gerwin's pretty wife, who had stopped in the garage to rest after her day's shopping; laughed loudly. "Let a see. I dare yon. Come on scared, eh? I knew a woman. Why dont yon tell as? You're the quiet one. Still waters " "Aw. it'a nothing!" Bill Jammed it into bis pocket. "Guess HI goon over to Murphy's and see about those tires." In the shelter of Murphy's shed, half hidden by some empty barrels and a pile of old tires, he ripped the envelope open, read the hastily pen ciled words. His heart sank. Something im- Grtant had happened. It eouldnt anything good. The old ladies had f onnd out, and warned her not to see him again most likely. Still it didn't sound very blue. It didn't sound Just like Joan either MDar Bill" somehow he expected some thing more than "Dear Bill." Oh well, he'd know at four o'clock. He got to work with a wilL ' Across the bay Joan was eating banana shortcake and hot chocolate with whipped cream, in a restau rant 1 It wa a modest enough coffee nouse with thick china, and glass topped tables always slightly damp and streaked from the waitresses' hastily administered sripings, but it was Joan's first, and Aunt Ewie had let her order anything ahe wanted, up to thirty-five cents. She beamed across at stolid Ev vie, consuming chicken pie and green tea, with evident relish. At their feet was a big paste-board box containing a sturdy tweed suit, two cotton blouses, and a little round straw hat with a ribbon bow. And on her feet oh wonder of wonders brown oxfords with high heels t From the blissful whipped cream and high-heeled dream in which Aunt Ewie's unexpected generosity had submerged her, Joan came back to earth to hear the familiar baas voice sayinsr: "Now well have to hurry for the boat I " Of course, the boat to take her back to Sausalito. and Bill. Still smiling vaguely. Joan gathered np the packages, and followed Ewie out of the restaurant into the street. It was still early there would be plenty of time to slip np to the hill and be waiting for him when he came up the road. She sighed hap pily. The Call Board By OLIVE M.

"What for? Joan Hastings, have yon been asleep? To bring to the cemetery of course" "The cemetery but it'a in Oak land!" "Of coarse and we're on the Oakland boat." . "Not the Sausalito boat we're not going home now we're going to the cemetery instead of home? Oh why did at yon tell me why didnt yon tell me?" ; The tragic face Joan turned to her startled Ewie out of her habit nal calm. A moment passed before she gathered herself together nf ficiently to answer. "Well. I should certainly think you'd want to visit your own toother's grave on your last dayl Especially when we didnt on Easter on account of Babe's cold the first Easter I ever missed tak ing flowers out to Mama and Papa And then as Joan continued to Bill's heart sank when stare with tortured eyes, she fin ished in the old sarcastic .ramble "Did the whipped cream make yon so sick you cant talk . . . looking at me like a dying- calf, after all I've done for yon . . buying yon clothes . lunch in a restaurant. . - ." a Four o'clock. Joan and Ewie had left the musty smelling vault with its Dig letters, VAN FL.ET, carved in granite above the door, and were hurrying past the pansy beds, and the flat green with the cannon balls where the Civil War veterans slept. i anew we a miss the carl" Aunt Ewie snapped. Joan didnt an swer. What did it matter? It was too late now. Bill would be looking for her on the bill. And she wouldnt be there.

Swaggered, because he had to do something to ease the intoler able hurt. "She didnt come she didnt come." That waa as far as his thoughts would take him. AH afternoon he had waited listening for her step, for the sound of her voice calling to him. And when the sun had set, and the purple shadows from the hills spread and turned gray, and then black, then he gave up. He passed Gerwin's Garaee. Closed. "Maybe 111 lose my job for this." he thought without much in terest.

Diary of a seaman who waa with Capt. Wilkes in Oregon Country, 1141: . m (Continuing from yesterday:) "Here was the place intended for the exhibitions of the day; vari ous 'kinds of amusements were proposed, la which Capt. Wilkes took aa active part. Every thing went on well for a time, and bade fair for a day of recreation and pleasure, but soon an accident oc curred, which could not but dis turb the feelings of all. "At 11 o'clock; when tiring a salute. Daniel Whitehorn, Jr gunner,' while loading one of the guns, it accidently discharged, and lacerated his forearm very seriously. All the integuments, from midway of the forearm to the wrist were blown oft the carpal extremity of the nlna ex posed for about two lnehea npon tha outer face. All the tendons tor about three inches from the carpus were much tarn. The sur geon . . . decided that it waa his daty to recommend the removal of the limb. . . . Dr. Richmond, physician to the mission family, waa called npon. who agreed in opinion with onr surgeon. . . . The doctors then stated to the pa tient their views or the case, and recommended an operation. He declined for the present, and chose to risk an attempt to save the limb. - "The amusements proceeded, but not with that spirit with which they were commenced." "a Mr. Clark, author ot the book, wrote nothing about the impres sive ceremonies of the celebra tion the "first Fourth ot July celebration west of the Mississip pi valley." Captain Wilkes was officer of the day. Prayer faa offered by Dr. Richmond. The Declaration ot Independence was read by the sergeant of marines; the Scrip tare reading was by Capt. Wilkes. Two songs were sung, the whole company Joining: "The Star Span gled Banner" and "My Country, Tls of Thee;" led by the sergeant ot the marines. S The oration was delivered by Dr. Richmond, a remarkable one for the time. A few excerpts fol low: "We entertain the belief that the whole of this magnificent country, so rich in the bounties of nature, is destined 'to become a part of the American republic. . . . The time will come when these hills and valleys will be oc cupied by our enterprising coun trymen, and (hey will contain cities and farms and manufactur ing establishments. . . They will assemble on the 4th of July, as we hare done today, and renew their fidelity to the principles of liberty. . . . The future years will witness wonderful things in the settlement, the growth and development of the United States. . . . This growth may embrace the advance ot our , dominion to the frosen regions ot the north-, and south to the narrow strip of land that separates as from the lower half of the American continent. In this new world there is sure to arise one of the. greatest na tions of earth. ... Your names and mine may not appear In the records, but those ot our de scendants will. . . . We are here to assist in laying the foundation stones of a great commonwealth on these Pacific shores." - S H There waa no pent-up Utlca in Dr. Richmond's prophetic vision, there in the savage wilderness. He saw beyond 54-40 and below the Spanish line that is now the northern border ot Mexico. w Reference has been made twice in this series to the claim that the ceremonies of that day made up the first Fourth of July cele bration on the Paclfie coast of America, or the Americas, or west of the Mississippi valley.
