pndian Population
prows 45 Per Cent
Washington iffi The Cen
sus Bureau says the U. S. In
aflian population has grown
aVbout 45 per cent since the turn
of the century but it la not
Ijuite sure what an Indian is.
In a. report, based on the
9850 census and Issued Satur-
. aday, the bureau said there were
S 43,410 Indians then compared
rith 237,106 in 1000.
si For the most part, it said,
Indians were those living on
reservations where blood lines
JJiave been, preserved fairly
pure.
But a spokesman said enu
merators put a person down as
tan Indian if he looked like an
Indian. When in doubt, they
awere supptMo w aas.
For ten and one-half hours
there were events in the fast
moving Chandler Day celebra
tion. It began with a luncheon
at coqullle and ended with a
testimonial dinner at Coos Bay.
In between there were dedi
cations f the newly opened
divided four-lane highway be
tween Coquille and Coos Bay
and the new Coos Bay bridge;
trips in coast guard cutters
from Coos Bay to Charleston,
a distance of 10 miles; visits to
nearby state parks and a social
rnour at North Bend.
Governor Paul L. Patterson
Joined in the festivities and was
the principal speaker at the
closing dinner in Coos Bay. It
was on that occasion that Gov
ernor Patterson told the honor
guest that by his excellent ad
ministration he was added to
the family of fine men who
nave served as chairmen of the
highway commission during
the past 35 years "without the
slightest breath of suspicion of
fraud or mismanagement" '
Former State Senator Wil
liam . Walsh added to the
praise, saying that it was not
alone Chandler's record as
chairman of the highway com'
mission that had resulted in the
decision to honor him, but in
addition it was hia many con
tributions in civic affairs as
wen as his record as a banker
wherein Walsh said he had
saved numerous businesses In
the community by personal fi
nancial aid.
Deeply touched, Chandler
could scarcelj speak in re
sponse to the tributes.
"This has been a great occa
sion, he said. "Being a sent!
mental old codger) it has touch'
ed my heart"
He then declared that it was
not he that was responsible for
the progress In the highway
program of the state, but rather
it was the cooperation of high
minded state governors,' the
state legislature, members of
city councils and county courts,
as well as the work of the staff
of what be described as. "the
finest highway department in
the whole United States" as
well as the cooperation of the
U. S. forestry department and
Bureau of Public Roads that
brought success to the 'highway
program.
Ben R. Chandler was honor
ed by the citizens and neigh
bors in bis own community
and nearby area, but as Gov
ernor Patterson designed him
he is "a first citizen of Coos
county, of the coast and of the
state ox Oregon."

An actreas thought she had an excellent plan for keeping her
diamond necklace safe. She always left It on her dreulnt
table with a note: This is only an imitation. Hie real necklace
la kept at the bank." But one night she found it gone and in
Its place this note: "This necklace will do, thanks. I'm only a
substitute myself. Tttt burglar who looks after this territory is
on vacation." '
Which reminds us at this time of year that if you are plan,
ning on taking a vacation dent forget to:
1. Notify year usessassf carrier.

National statistics indicate that your home win be burg lariied
