C.—“The greatest service we can do for the Indian is to I set him free," and "the Indian bureau should be a vanishing bureau,” said Secretary Lane in a letter to Repre sentative Ferris, of Oklahoma, re specting the proposed investigation of the Indian service. Secretary Lane is impressed with the idea that the government has "no consistent philosophy, either as to leg- I islation or as to administration touch ing Indian affairs.” He wrote; "An examination should be made into Indian affairs, and it should be most searching. 1 am satisfied that it will be easy to discover a large num ber of wrongs that have been done the Indians and certain and serious defects in our method of handling them. "Instead of a temporary commis sion, which can do little more than un earth various matters of scandal in the various agencies (some of which are now being examined into), I trust the congress wiH see fit to establish a permanent commission which shall su persede the present system of admin istration and be granted the fullest power necessary to reorganize the bu reau. “This commission should be given such powers as will permit it to de centralize the administration of Indian affairs, allowing greater authority to competent, well-paid agents in the field. “I am satisfied from what examina tion I have made that there are tens of thousands of so-called Indians, whose property to a greater or less extent is under the control of this bu reau, who are as competent to attend to their affairs as any men or women of the white race. There are thou sands of others of the half-blood who are an expense to the government, who should not be regarded as depend ent, but who should be given their property and allowed to shift for them selves. “The mature full-blood Indian who is without education or the ability to care for his own affairs, must remain a ward in our hands. The children of these Indians, however, should within a generation be a part of the Ameri can people, living outside of reserva tions and taking up the burdens and responsibilities of all other citizens. Their education should be such as to bring this result and end the bureau. "These questions of policy are fund amental. To deal with this matter adequately, the investigation proposed should be one that searches for causes, not for symptoms.” ' and Progresa of Rural Communities, Public Institutions, Etc. BULL MOOSE VERY SCARCE DALLES CHERIES ARE BEST Per Cent of Progressive« So Far Maraschino Manufacturers Buy Registered Very Small. 540 Tuns uf Royal Anne«. Salem —Assertions of special writers of prominence for Eastern magazines that the Progressive party is well or ganized and stronger than when Col onel Roosevelt was its candidate for president are not proved, so far as Oregon is concerned, by the registra tion figures so far this year. The fig ures received to date by Secretary of State Olcott from 14 counties show that the Bull Moose party has about 4 per cent of the total registration. As a matter of fact unless the Pro gressive party adherents are emulat ing the Democrats in registering one way and voting another, the new party will have a small following at the next election, if the present ratio keeps up. The figures show a return of Progres sive party men to the Republican ranks, with many Democrats pursuing their old tactics of registering as Re publicans. OREGON “AD” TO GO ABROAD Resources of State Will Be Given In Foreign Language«. The Dalles — One million, eighty thousand pounds of cherries have l>een marketed by the fruitgrowers of The Dalles and vicinity this year, for which they have received over $40,000 in cash. Of this total of 540 tons, 476 tons were shipped to Portland and San Francisco, here they will be made Into maraschino cherries. The Oregon Packing company, of Portland, which is a branch of the California Fruit Packing company, of San Francisco, shipped 100 tons. The entire crop of the big Seufert orchard, east of this city, which amounted to 84 tons, was also sent to the Oregon Packing com pany to be made into maraschinos. "I have been buying cherries for the past 15 years and have traveled all oyer the world in the work, but I nev er have seen such perfect cherries as those raised here at The Dalles,” said Arthur C. Rass, of the Lyon A Rasa company, who bought the fruit for his firm. "1 wish I could have bought 600 tons instead of 100,” he contin ued. "Other cherries I have bought look like No. 3 grade compared to these at The Dalles. The Italian cherries which are imj>ort«i by New York firms for maraschinos look like French peas beside your Royal Anna.” The Lyon & Rasa company will pur chase several hundred tons of peaches and apples here for manufacture into fruit juices. Rains of the last three weeks, al though doing a little damage to the cherries, greatly benefltted other fruit crops. ___ FRIEDMANN CURE DERIDED New York Doctor Declare« “Dis covery” Absolute Failure. Tacoma, Wash.--With physical» of national prominence attending, the Washington Association for the Pre vention of Tuberculosis opened its an nual convention here. Dr. C. Quevil, president of the association, in his ad dress, spoke of the Friedmann cure, which he investigated on a recent trip to New York. Although he had had many of Friedmann's patients under observation, he was unable to And a single case in which any benefit from the treatment was apparent. Dr. Livingston Ferran«^ of New York, secretary of the National As sociation for the Prevention and Re lief of Tuberculosis, placed Fried mann’s “cure” on Hn «;iMility with Colonel Mulberry Sellers’ eyewater for the “millions of India.” “Not only has it been denionatrat«! as an absolute failure,” said Dr. Fer rand, “but an immens« amount of harm has been done throughout the country by Dr. Friedmann. "Many spent all they had to get to New York, j mortgaging their homes, and, worst of all, a great many dropped the safe- and-aane method of treatment when they were doing well. Dr. Friedmann has us«| the cruelest kind of exploita tion in our country. “The segregation of tubercular pa tients, rest, plenty of fresh air, proper food and treatment by competent phy sicians are the elements of the only remedy known today for consumption. There is no absolute cure, but if the disease is taken early enough and the pro;>er treatment is followed one may be reasonably auro of regaining health.” Dr. Quevil spoke of the great de ctease in the death rate from tuber culosis in the state of Washington. In 1911, he declared, there were 1240 deaths, while in 1912 there were 1115, a decrease of over 100. BOYS’ PRANKS KILL TWELVE I a > s Angeles Interurban Trains (’rash Together.

This, it was ex plained by railroad men, was interpre ted by the motorman of the moving train, as the signal to come hahead. With a crash of breaking glass, splitting timbers, men's groans and women’s screams, the motor car of the last train plunged into the rear of the center train. The youths who had played with the whistle were crushes! in the debris. The two colliding cars were nearly telescoped. The second car of the sta tionary train was almost demolished.
