' The Indian affairs oommittee has restored the eliminated Oregon para graph to the Indian appropriation bill' and adopted an amendment satisfac tory to Senator Lane providing 112,000 to devise an aooonnting system better saf egnaiding expenditures ander the t eoect bill and insuring a better sys tem for the future,- Lane is well sat isfied with the result of his "insur gency. " ... . . . I. . The oommittee agreed on an amend ment to the Indian appropriation bill which wonld require a oomplete inves tigation of all expenditures of the In dian bureau, a detailed accounting for every oent of the $10,000,000 spent or more to be appropriated for the com ing years, and wonld revolutionize the method of administering Indian trust funds and annual approprations in the future. Senator Lane had apparently lost his fight before the Indian affairs com mittees for a "reasonable and plain business statement of the facts with out prejudice" concerning "the many different provisions" of the bill. The oommittee completed the bill and it was presented at the session of the senate Tuesday. As finished the bill did not oontaia a provision for the Modoo projebt. When this oame up in oommittee Sen ator Page of Vermont said: ."This oo cues under your objeotion, Senator Lane; I move that it be strioken out." Lane was unable to object and so it was strioken out. But it. was pretty well understood that the committee would permit it to be restored on the floor of the senate. It was in a way a case of disciplining a member with whom the convention was annoyed. This is the text of the - Modoo para graph, as it oame from the Bouse: "For the completion of the Modoo Point Irrigation project, including drainage and canal systems within the Klamath reservation in the state of Oregon, in aooordanoe with the plans and specifications submitted by tie chief engineer in the Indian service and approved by the commissioner of Indian affairs and the secretary of the interior in conformity with a provision in seotiononeof the Indian appropri ation act for the fisoal year 1911, $105,000 to remain available until ex pended." . . Senator Lane made his last protest in regular written form.- Be agreed to the mnaner in whioh the commit tee made up the bill, but that would not prevent him from ripping' into what be considered the loose methods of making the appropriations, when the bill was reported. Items in the hill affeotiug Oregon are as follows: Klamath agency, including pv of employes, (6000; Warm Springs agen cy and pay of employes, $4000 ; Walla Walla, Oayuse and Umatilla tribes and pay of employes $3000; for sup port and eduoation of 600 Indian pu pils, including native pnpils brought from Alaska at the Indian school at Salem, and for the pay of the super intendent, $102,000; for. general re pairs and improvement, $12,000; for the Grande Ronde and Siletz agenoies and pay of employes, $1000; for salcry due E.

' In tbe immediate vicinitv of Condon the re AMfiUAL SCHOOL MEETING HIT TERM OF B. B. RICHARDS BOARD CHAIRMAN EXPIRES. Alderman Calls Attention To Need of Larger Attendance at School Meetings.

Relative to the interest that should be taken in the annual sohool meet ing, Li. k. Alderman writes tbe Frees: "Salem, June 9, 1913. To the Editor: May I oalt yonr at tention to tbe faot that there is no more important day in the year, as far as our Staia is oonoerued, than tbe annual sohool meeting day, which oo ours tbla year on the 16th day of June. The people get in any form of government about what tbey demand, and if only three ot four people at tend the ar:nual sohool meeting, it shows that their demand is lacking. School officers and teaohera become discouraged and, as a ooossquen.oe, poor results follow. "May I ask you to publish au ed itorial calling attention especially to tbe annual sohool meeting, and asking that tbe whole population go to tbe sohool house, look into conditions and make plans for the year? 1 find that some districts have much better eobools than others, Blthongb tbey spend tot little, if any more, money It is cot all a question of expenditure; it is a question of looking after things and having tbe right kind of oo op eration. Members of the sohool board of tbe state receive no pay, and are very seldom thanked for what they do. "A few eobools last year made muob of tbe annual sohool meeting day ; took time to look over tbeir property, sug gest improvements, and plan for tbe future. I am sore a manor womau who attends tbe annual sohool meet ing and does bis duty, will feel more like celebrating on the Fonrtb of July. "I assure yon that your co-opera tion in this matter will be appreci ated. Very sinonrely yours. "L. R. Alderman, "Supt. Putlio Instruction." W. 0. W.
