Cne copy, one year $2.00 One copy, six months $1.00 One copy, three months 75 Athena, Oregon July 30 192(5 ; REAL ADVANCEMENT t -The : Walla Walla Union, in com menting on the results of the Indian congress at Spokane, says: Indian tribes of the Pacific northwest, in their annual Congress at Spokane, recently drew up a list of grievances for presentation to the federal bur eau. The resolutions touch on sever al subjects, including treaty privil eges and trjbal claims, but, in a way, the salient feature is the demand for better social conditions. More regu lar medical attention; a physician on every reservation; an Indian tuber cular hospital on the Pacific coast; better sanitary conditions, these are among the requests. In this resolution is seen the triumph of the younger generations of the tribes. No longer are the in cantations of the medicine man held sufficient to cure the sick. No more will the ailing be placed in the rude sweat huts, and subjected to other primative treatments. The younger members of the tribe have learned that disease cannot be cured by such methods. They demand the best that medical science offers and the pre ventative measures afforded by mod ern sanitation engineering. In their declaration of determina tion to advance their race, no factor is more important than this, and cer tainly none more worthy of attention by the white brethren. o STATUS OF THE BUS An interesting editorial in the New York Times shows that in 1925 the trolley lines of greater New York carried more than a billion passengers, or almost 40 per cent of the entire traffic within the city, in cluding subways, elevateds and bus lines. There has been agitation to sub stitute motor busses for the surface lines. The Times points out that, as feeders to subways or street cars, the bus has its place, but as a sub stitute for surface cars in handling mass traffic, it still has to justify itself. It only hauls about one-half as many people as an electric car ami there is every reason to believe that if a sufficient number of busses were put on the streets to handle the people now carried in the electrics, eongostion would be increased rath er than decreased. Evidence from other cities and other countries does not indicate that the bus will super sede electric or steam transportation. Rather it will bo lined in conjunction with these other methods. In some poluto growing localities a Might or disease has attacked the early stock and many of the potatoes are black or chocolate colored, and after being dug they rot down. These potatoes are unfit for food and those selling them are liable to severe pen alties under the pure food law. State Market Agent Spence warns all dealers in potatoes to be certain that the sack branding law is complied with when they purchase, that the responsibility may he determined in case of diseased stock; otherwise the dealer or retailer might be prosecu ted for both failure to have growers name on the sack and for selling un fit food. No sack of potatoes may be legally sold or offered for sale In Oregon unless the sack i-s stenciled with the growers name or that of the association offering it for sale. Down at Kelso there is a carpet bagger by the name of A. Kuric Todd who is causing more trouble and dis cension than ever did a flock of Kill kenny cats at an Irish wake. This Todd person seems to have had sup porters suflicient to be elected may. or of that town and he at once prov ed himself to be the most trouble some nut ever plucked from a politi cal tree, lie was recalled without much effort from the mayor's office, and he has reappeared on the seeno as a republican candidate for county sheriff. And a merry time he is hav ing of it. He was promptly knocked down by an irate citizen in an al tercation, and his attorney was man handled by an angry state senator, hut A. Kuric Todd stays on to the de triment of Kelso and Cowlitz county, Washington. u- An exchange figures that when the fUeel Corporation was organised, 2,'i years ago, it required 14 hours of labor to produce a ton of pig it on; now a ten is produced in two hours. Aii autombile factory 12 years ago, ued 1,200 hours of labor to produce a ear; now a car is built in 2"0 hvjurs. If farm production could be syi-tematized in this manner, ihe farm problems would be solved. o . Italy doesn't cotton to Senator liyrah. Veil some of us do not, eith er. But when Borah said; "The United States hasn't sufficient money to save France under her present domestic policy and her imperialistic schemes as evidenced in Syria and the Kiffian country (Morocco.) My judgment is that the veterans have a cause for protest but not against the taxpayers of the United States," he said a mouth full. Leonard Olsen of Lostine, evidently believes in neither drugs nor doctors. He has completed a 30-day fast, the effort on his part, being to cure in digestion, and besides shaking off 35 pounds surplus weight, Olsen honestly believes that he has cured his ailments. Chicago's spaghetti gun crew is carrying on the laudable work of self extermination. A bunch of Giavon neettiis sent Philip Piazzi with a bullet-perforated body, to a place where he will not interfere with ter ritorial rights of a contemporary booze faction. "The hand writing on the wall" and the finger of fate point at A'niee, but the wary lawyers of the noted evangelist will allow no finger prints or scribe taken wonder why? o Maybe it is rather aggravating to the French to see us after our pound of flesh, when all they have are soup bones, and lean ones at that. -o Lady Astor comes to America for complete rest. If that's all she's af ter, she can get it by sidestepping reporters and tipping the bellhops. o Miami, but that was a fierce storm down in Florida. THE SESQUI FROM THE AIR Two Escaped Convicts Captured McMinnville, Ore. Richard Moore and Richard Franziun, two of the four convicts who escaped from the state prison at Salem, were captured shortly after 8:00 o'clock Monday morning on Bakers creek. A posse, including Chief of Police Ralph Grenfell, McMinnville; M. C. Berry, Jack Malone and Homer Brixoy, took the men without a shot. Premier Orders Americans Guarded. Paris. Premier Poincare ordered Paris police to provide greater pro tection for American and other tour ists in France. The premier was dis turbed by the recent anti-American manifestations in the streets and in some of the resorts of Paris. He sum moned the prefect of police and or dered that all tourist motor busses be supplied with an escort of bicycle po lice, that a police guard bo posted at tourist agencies, and intimated that if these measures wero ineffective the use of motor busses by tourists may bo temporarily suppressed. Officer's Revenge A naval ollleer, who had taken of fense at something said at a dinner party by a clergyman who had Just been made an honorary canon, and who was somewhat autocratic, re solved to he revenged. lie Invited the whole parly to in spect his ship next day, and when Inquiry was made regarding the use of one of the sham wooden cannon ho had put In a conspicuous place to attract notice, lie replied, in a loud tone: "Oh, that wooden thing; it's only a dummy -a sort of honorary cannon 1" NOTICE TO CREDITORS In the County Court for the State of Oregon for the County of Umatilla.

The Na tron cutoff is now under construction by the Southern Pacific company and should be completed next month. It was said by members of the pub lic service commission here that the officials of the Northern lines and the Southern Pacific apparently had made no effort to reach an understanding relative to common user privileges on the Natron cutoff. Delay in reaching such an agreement, it was said, had retarded construction work and had resulted in serious injury to the slate of Oregon. Oregon Service Board Appeals to I. C. C. to Get Action. Salem Failure of the several rail roads involved in the proposed Central Oregon railway development program to start construction operations, or agree to common carrier privileges on the Natron cutoff, caused the Oregon public service commission to prepare a petition requesting that carriers be cited to appear before the interstate commerce commission and show cause why they have not complied with an order issued by the commission on May 3 of this year.
