10 ATHENA BRIDEGROOMS
June Weddings Solemnized at Walla
' Walla and Pendleton. '
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. L. Chaloraf t, former superin
tendent of the Salem Indian sohool in

AMfiUAL SCHOOL
MEETING HIT
TERM OF B. B. RICHARDS BOARD
CHAIRMAN EXPIRES.
Alderman Calls Attention To
Need of Larger Attendance
at School Meetings.
The annual school meeting tak.es
place Monday of uxt week, June 16.
In this distriot the meeting will be
held at tbe 60hool house, at which
time one director and tbe district clerk
will be elected.
The term of B. B. Riobards. chair
man of tbe board, expires, and it will
be necessary to eleot some one to till
tbe yaoancy. Tbe term of Charles
Betts, clerk, also expires.
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.
