Of course there was never any such thing. No? What about Little Central primary school built in the late 1860s at the corner of High and Marion streets exclusively for col ored children? In 1871 Mrs. L. A. Mallory was employed as teacher there at a salary of (40 a month paid in gold coin. Early Oregon Has Problem Early Oregon did have a racial segregation problem. Nor was the territory generous in its treat ment of it. Although slavery was forbidden by the first organic act of 1843, and never legally allowed, some negroes accompanying slave owning Southern immigrants into the Oegon country were held in bondage until they reached the territory. In fact, there were fur tive attempts made to hold them in bondage even after they reached this region. If Oregon was against slavery by a majority of 5052 as expressed in the constitutional election Nov. 9, 18,i7, Oregonians were also against the presence of free ne groes and mulattoes in the teri-tory. An effort had been made to ! Gilmanto. N.H.. who were unset I by that best-selling novel about their town, Peyton Place," can steel themselves for another blow much.

Wald himself is partial to Julie and Salem Student On Paper Staff Gene Eiswerth, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert S. Eiswerth, 810 Mis souri St., is circulation manager of the Tiger, the Colorado college weekly newspaper. As circulation manager, Eis werth mails the papers to sub scribers, advertisers, and sees that they are distributed to the student body. The Tiger has a staff of 20 and a circulation of 1500. Colorado college is a coeduca tional, liberal arts college in Colo rado Springs, Colo. Forty-two states and eleven foreign countries are represented in the student body. I supplement the organic act to require all persons who brought slaves into the territoy to remove them within three years. They sought to have free negroes leave within two years or risk the pen alty of being flogged every six months as a penalty for violating the law. Special Act Required Only by special act of the legis lature in 1852-53 was George Wash ington Bush, a colored man of high standing, and a veteran of the war of 1812, allowed to reside in the territory. Ashael Rush, ed itor of the Statesman in 1857, declared: "we have but few nig gers here, but quite as many of that class as we wish to see." Reading between the lines of scanty minutes for Salem school district No. 24 in the late 1860s leads one to believe that Little lentral primary school for the lown's colored children was built In 1868 at a cost of $1407.34. A Salem newspaper of Jan. 1, 18117 says the school was built specific ally for colored children. Salem city directory for 1872 mentions that 15 pupils were then in at tendance there, 10 boys and five girls. One Was Wrong Official census statistics for both Salem and North Salem in 1870 give a total population of 1923 of whom 18 were colored. Judging from school attendance 'at Little Central either the 1870 census was inaccurate or only adult heads of families were enumerated among local colored people. Among prominent negoes in Sa lem in this interval was Hi Gor man, who hand-turned a printing press before the coming of a steam engine. Hi tippled, how ever and operation of the press and the hour of the paper's pub lication were irregular. Some times the "power" failed entirely. Mrs. L. 11. McV.ahan, teacher at nearby Rig Central in 1900. re calls that two-room Little Cental was not then a school for col ored children. Primary grades were taught in the structure with Ms. Alice H. Dodd as principal and Miss Maria D'Arcy as second grade teacher.
