" 1 . Agricultural Workers IS
LOWEST paid workers in the country are the crews which
iiarvestfarm crops. Among them are usually! persons
' of the lowest potential earning powsr, riff-raff unable to
hold industrial jobs.Among them also are persons tempor
arily out of better employment, and others who want only
part time work each year. This

north with the harvests to the hop and ruit picking districts
of the northwest. j i j
There has been a great deal of trouble especially! in Cal
ifornia between the ranchers and these" workers. In 1933
. cotton picking in the California growing region brought al
most open warfare. Other troubles have prevailed in: the Im
perial valley and a few days ago there was a bloody clash at
1 Centro during a strike of 2000 union lettuce pickers. These
unions are not affiliated with the A. F. of L. as a rule; for
they are not skilled workers. Often thesd unions are inspired
and led by communists or communist sympathizers, perhaps
because communists are the only ones who will get down that
far in the scale.
These low-paid agricultural workers are in truth for
gotten men, women and children. They- are the ones who even
in normal times are on the indigent lists soon after the last
harvests are over. Not always are farmers to blame 'because
the farmer may be getting too low a price for his product.
They constitute nevertheless a real social problem, like im
poverished coal miners or southern share croppers.?; There
ought to be some attack on the problem other than beatings
by deputy sheriffs.
Plumbers Drop NRA Provisions
THE plumbing industry is a new recruit to those abandon
ing the millenium of NRA. Representatives of the 187
concerns under the plumbing manufacturers' code haVe asked
NRA to drop the sections covering "fair-trade practice" and
market rules, though they would retain the wages and hours
provisions. The secretary of the code authority is quoted as
follows:
"This action has been taken because so many firms have
been chiseling by listing one price and selling at another. The
little manufacturer and the honest concerns have suffered. The
government has failed to prosecute cases in the courts and the
' aitnation became unbearable."
President Roosevelt now recognizes the futility of much
of the NRA ballyhoo. In his
sion he requests continued abolition of child labor, mainten
ance of regulations on wages and hours, but the dropping
of price-fixing and renewal of application of anti-trust
laws. He also comes to the position which The Statesman has
consistently held that in the case of natural resource indus
tries, coal, oil, etc., legislation is proper for conservation of
resources.
In the face of experience and in the face of the pres
ident's proposals regarding NRA extension Oregon should
not just hatch a baby blue eagle after the 1933 model. It
should make its' laws comply with these new recommenda
tions which embrace all the good there was in NRA.
High School Tuition
LAST summer there was a serious deadlock between the
school boards of the principal cities of the county and
" the non-high school board over what should be included in
the cost to determine the per capita charge for rural pupils
-attending the high schools. Finally a truce was entered into
and the pupils admitted, "while the issue was referred ta the
courts. The court ruling is to kick the case out on the ground
. that the court has no duty to write the contract where the
.parties fail to agree. It therefore seems advisable to! put the

By Royal S. Copeland, fll.D.
PERSONS WHO hav faulty
breathing may believe they are vic
tims of asthma, It is true that In
asthma there Is difficult breathing.
but this symp
tom Is found In
many other dls
orders of the
lungs.
For example,
the sufferer from
emphysema ax
perl e n ces this
difficulty. Ther
Is a wheezing
sound similar to
that so common
In asthma. This
wheezing may be
board a good dis
tance away.
"E m physema"
ii
Dr. Copeland
Is a strange af
fliction of th lungs. It Is commonly
encountered In those who suffer from
chronia bronchitis. Th air sacs of
th lungs ar overstretched. They
lose their normal elasticity and are
unable to expel all of the air from
the lungs. This state of affairs leads
to Increased exertion of the breath
ing; muscles, resulting in th bosky,
whistling sound mad when th pa
tient exhales.
Corset Helps
As a rule, when emphysema oc
curs, it may be regarded as a alga
of advancing age. Sometimes It ap
pears when the lungs have been
weekend from any cause. It may be
the result of continued or repeated
colds, Infections, bronchitis and pneu.
inonla.
Th person who gets emphysema
la usually overweight, with a pro
truding abdomen and Increased
waistline. It Is Interesting to note
that this affliction is not common In
women. This fact suggested - that
emphysema may be checked by the
wearing of an abdominal glrdl or
support.
It Is worth while to try wearing a
strong abdominal binder or corset.
This mechanical appliance Increases
the abdominal pressure and raises
the diaphragm. In consequence, the
sufferer sometimes finds It easier to
breathe and the general health may
be markedly improved.
Coatrol by Diet
Victims of emphysema complain of
shortness of breath and swelling of
the ankles. They ar susceptible to
colds and Infections of the upper part
of the breathing apparatus. Neglect
Is dangerous because th disorder
places an additional burden upon the
heart It lessens the resistance
against certain Infectious diseases.
In' this j trouble every- measure
should be taken to avoid undue strain
and exertion. Long hours of rest
and relaxation are essential. Th
diet should be simple, nutritious and
free from excessive quantities of fats
and carbohydrates.
When It Is safe to attempt, over
weight should be controlled by special
dieting, but only under the super
vision of a physician. Bear In mind
that severe dieting Is extremely dan
gerous. But Improved general' health
will go far toward overcoming the
uncomfortable effects of emphysema.

Place of the Dorion
woman's grave found,
fixed beyond dispute:
(Continuing from yesterday:)
Indicating the persistent search
for the grave of the Dorion wom
an of history, follow quotations
from a letter over two years old
from T. C. Elliott, Walla Walla
historian:
"I think the Catholic fathers
at St. Paul and St. Louis will get
weary answering questions as to
this woman. It seems very strange
that their records reveal nothing
abont her death and buriaL That
is the natural place to look.
"I am afraid we arer up against
a stone wall in that search She
may have died when on some vis
it somewhere. She should have
been given a Christian burial
somewhere, and record of It may
appear. If she war visiting in the
Walla Walla country such record
might have been made by Father
Cherouse, who was then the res
ident priest among the Indians
here and the only one."
But the stone wall has sudden
ly crumbled, clearing up defin
itely the place of the famous
woman's burial.
S
Defenbach, Idaho historian,
thinks a Dorion woman monu
ment should be erected at Boise,
because she was with the mem
bers of the Wilson Price Hunt
party of overland Astoriana who
were the first white men to see
the site of that chief city and
capital of Idaho.
J. Neilson Barry, reliable Ore
gon historian, believes a Dorion
woman monument should be
placed at Duncan, Umatilla coun
ty, where her child, born Decem
ber 30, 1811, on the trail on
Powder . river, was buried nin'e
days later; either there or near
Meacham, where her winter camp
was in 1814, after she had es
caped from the massacre by -the
Dog Rib Indians in which her
first man, Pierre Dorion, Jr., was
killed.
V
The same Oregon historian says
the Dorion woman's child born
and buried on Powder river and
at Duncan respectively was the
first white person to be born and
buried on the old Oregon trail.
There is validity In the claim;
though the child was three-quarters
Indian. Pierre Dorion, Jr.,
interpreter for the Astors, had an
Indian mother. His father. Pierre
Dorion, Interpreter for Lewis and
Clark, was white; French Cana
dian. Sacagewea (present, improved
spelling)- was the woman of the
Lewis and Clark party; the com
panion of Pierre Dorion. Jr., was
the woman of the Astor overland
party. Each la entitled to a high
place in history. But in hardships
and dangers overcome, the great
er place belongs to the Dorion
woman. They were born in the
same year. 1786. The Dorion
woman died at 64, Sacagewea at
about 94.
It now appears that eight chil
dren were born to the Dorion
woman: Baptlate and Paul and
the child .that was born and died
on the trail; Marguerite Vernier;
Frances, (or Francis), John B.,
Marie Ann (or Marlenne) and
Mary Toupin. Marie Ann (or Mar
lenne) was a wife of George Gay,
I prominent early pioneer, once
caiiea the richest Individual In
Oregon, and Mary was the wife
of John Staats. .
la 1832 a Dorion woman bridge
wa dedicated in Walla Walla
county. Wash. There will of
cenrse be a monument dedicated
to her at St. Louis, and perhaps
in tune one. or a marker, in the
I Bancroft's Oregon Ilialorysaid
the Dorion woman "was living in
the Willamette valley as late as
1850," and that she "died near
Salem" in 1853. Of course, she
died in 1850, but the place of her
death has not been definitely es
tablished. It may have been at the
house in the Middlegrove district,
at St. Louis, or elsewhere.! MoreJ
on this point later along.
S
Rev. J. B. A. Brouillet. vicar-
general of Walla Walla, in his
booklet published in 1853. to re
fute charges against the Catholics
in connection with the Whitman
massacre. Inserted an affidavit se
cured from John Topin (Tour
pin), husband of the Dorion wo
man. The affidaviat was dated "St.
Louis of Willamet, Sept. 24,
1848," and contained these
words:
"I have been 17 years emDlov-
ed as Interpreter at Fort Walla
Walla, and I left that fort abont
seven years ago. I was there when
Mr. Parker (Rev. Samuel 1 Pac
ker), in 1835 came to select nie
ces for . . . missions among the
Cayuses and Net Perces . . . went
first to the Cayuses upon the
lands called Waiilafnu. ... From
the Cayuses, Mr. Parker went to
tne Kes Perces, about 125 miles
distant, on the land of the Old
Button, on a small creek which
empties into the Clearwater at
seven to eight miles from the ac
tual mission." Meaning the Lao-
wal mission.
Rev. Parker, who came as ad
vance man in 1335 to select mis
sion places for the American
Board missions, followed next
year by the Whitmans and Spald-
mgs, mentioned In his journal
John Tournin. the interpreter h
employed. The affidavit made by
Tourpin for the Brouillet book
was aimed to lddicate that the In
dians who at times abused and
opposed the American Board mis
sionaries had reasons which, to
their benighted minds, were suf
ficient to justify their harsh ac
tions. The trend of the affidavit
was to show that the missionaries
knew they were flauntinr dancer
of massacre and were warned in
time to avoid it.
Said Tourpin in the affidavit:
Two years ago. 1846. a Caruse
came to my honse, in the Willa
met settlement, and stODDcd with
me over two weeks." This was no

SIXTH III VICINITY
The sixth case of smallpox to
occur in Salem this year was dis
covered yesterday and gave rise
on the part of health officials to
a fear that some infecting case
had gone undiagnosed. Dr. Ver
non A. Douglas, connty health
officer, reported. The latest to
hare the disease is a two-year-old
boy. His ease is more severe
than the five that broke out in
a single family here a few weeks
ago.
While the number of cases
this year may not seem large.
Dr. Douglas pointed out that
there were no cases of smallpox
throughout the entire county dur
ing 1933 and 1934. He said that
all persons, as far as known, who
had contacted the latest small
pox patient had been vaccinated
but urged anyone who had not
been vaccinated to apply for this
Immunisation to the disease.
"We should particularly lire
to be notified of persona who
have suspicious rashes." Dr.
Donglas said, "Early symptoms
of smallpox are a severe influ
enza, fever and headache for
four or ' five days. . The rash
breaks out on the exposed parts
