I.eppTitr citiicns ionp apo feit the i.eed of Tistatorium for the city. nd 8tvt-rml times a wove was actual ly made to accomplish its construe tittc, but it remained for the loca post of the American Legion to bring it into being. The buddies started planning it about a year aco, and since that time have not rested until ! they reached their goal. New the kiddie s and the older people, too have a good, clean, pro tected and tuptrvified concrete pool in which they may take a plunge each and every day of the year if they wish. That is excepting such times as the pool is being cleaned, ar.d this, above all, is the most attractive fea ture it is and always will be clean to the limit of power of the Legion boys to keep it so. Civic improvements such as this are what make life in the small town liveable. Clean, healthful recreation is a requisite in every well-balanced life, and swimming is classed by au thorities as the best recreation possi ble to indulge in. The construction of the swimming pool is a step in the right driection and Heppner should be very grateful for the good work done by the Legion boys, s-s-s NO MORE SECRET CONVENTIONS. POLITICAL reform has taken its greatest forward step through the operation of the radio. No longer can delegates to a convention return to their homes with strange and wierd stories, to deceive the home folks re garding their actions and their votes. The check-up is too complete. Not only is the state in touch with its representatives in convention in block formation, but the position assumed by each individual is discovered in every hamlet of the land by the poll ing of the vote. The Democratic con vention in New York has demonstrat ed the value of the radio in this way more than once. The radio for the first time has en abled the entire country to sit in the convention. It has lifted the veil of secrecy. It has enabled the home folks to hear the arguments, the rul ing's of the chair, to note the atti tude of delegations, to digest their trend of thought, when they have any, and to discover the fact when they have not. The betrayal of trust is no longer possible without discovery. There is a vast significance in the much advertised cry so recently heard through the air from coast to coast "Aia-bama casts twenty-four votes for Un-der-wood. Summed up, the radio spells the passing of the boss, because even his operations, though kept secret in committee rooms and in delegation headquarters, become too evident on the floor of the convention. The con tact between the delegate and those who sent him out as a representative spells a greater honesty in voting. The vote of the delegate is known in stant rf and the telegram or tele phone of protest can reach him al most immediately. The abolition of the secret conven tion will do as much to free the peo ple from political abuse as did the institution of the secret ballot. The radio seems destined to give us more honesty in politics, a consummaton devoutly to be wished. S-S-S THE NEXT BIG ISSUE. "YNE of the great issues of the eom ing campaign will be the railroads, and the country might as well pre pare itself for the digestion of first grade propaganda. The forces behind private ownership are intelligent and quite capable of holding their own in skilled argument, while those who believe in government ownership or control are equally alert in the art of special pleading. In considering the railroad prob lem, however, it may be well to hold in mind one or two indisputable facts. Firt. on the one hand we hear the cry of poverty from the railroads. At the same time those who own and operate the roads roar to high heaven at the mere suggestion that they be relieved of their unfortunate invest ment. Again, railroad labor today received approximately one hundred per cent higher wages than it received before i the war, while farm products on the ! average, as cum pu ted by the Bureau of Labor, are 37 higher than in 11 3. These facts are used by the railroads to prove that railroad in vestors are in a disadvantageous po sition, Thiii conclusion, of course, is bast d on the assumption that the wage question is the big question in railroad operation. On the other hand the people wut realise sooner or later that wild expenditures and heavy increases must one way or the other come out of the pocket of the public. Stripped of all camouflage, the farmer, who must be conxidered first, fares cold, hard facts. The rail road i gobble up whatever of profit he may have in the sale of his product and they compel him to pay extortionate prices for the things he ha to buy to live and to work. Theorists, econ omist and politicians may be inter listed to analyze the causes. The far mer is inUrenttd in the effect. He wants relief, ht needs relief, and he will obtain relief if he regards the railroad problem as an economic problem first and realites ihat so far as its political aspects are fonc"rnd, platforms are of more importance than candidates, providing always there is a sincere effort to put the platforms into operation. S-S-S In spit of unsettled business con ditions of a presidential election year and crop shortage, it looks as if the farmer will glimpse a ray of sunlight through ths fog in the shape of a omewhat near fair prica for his wheat. It will be good to ate the train alleviated in a measure. WHITE 1I1S Ifj LOST TRIBE OF PANAMA AMERICAN EXPLORER BRINGS NEW PEOPLE FROM SAN BLAS COUNTRY WHICH STARTS SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSION Written speriaUr for The Gazette-Times By Robert Fuller Thru Autorater Service New York. July 16. Yes. We have white Indiana. The question now, however, is: "What makes them white?" Many of the leading scientists in the United States are discussing the subject, poking, prodding, twisting the ears and looking down the throats of three homesick little tots in New York, brought here by Richard 0. Marsh, American explorer, who last summer discovered a tribe of 400 in the San Bias country of Panama. Brought from the jungle where they wore no clothes, garbed in civiliza tion's modern dress and thrown sud denly into the world's largest city the three children, Chepu, Olo, and Margaret submit to a critical examin ation without seemingly a flicker of feeling passing across their stolid countenances, beneath shocks of bristling tow-colored hair. The children are not alone. Order members of the tribe and parents were brought along safe return to their Darien region of the Panama being a;sured and guaranteed Most of the older members are of brown skins and of normal Indian charac teristics. It was at first thought that Mr. Marsh had brought a group of stray albinos out of the forests of Panama and was calling them white Indians. After a critical examination by a large group of our best scientists it was agreed that they were white In dians but abnormal and pathological cases. Explorer Tells How Tribe Was Found Mr. Marsh described how he first saw white Indians in Panama last summer and determined- to return with a properly equipped expedition. He told how he approached the Smith sonian Institution at Washington, the Museum of Natural History here and the University of Rochester in order that they might send representatives on the expedition, so that its results would obtain the confidence of the scientific world. These representatives were pres ent when he left New York last Jan uary, and when he got to Panama he received help by the detailing of ad ditional observers from the United States Army, the Panama Canal Zone Government and the Republic of Panama. He told of the march to the inter YOSEMITE ECONOMY RUN RECORDS pmvt ZEROLENE increases gasoline mileage For years this Company has claimed that Zerolene, because it lubricates better, enables the average car to go about five per cent farther on a gal lon of gasoline than when other oils are used. A few weeks ago this claim received the most remarkable confirmation in the results of the annual Los Angeles Camp Curry (Yosemite) Economy Run. Six out of the seven trophies offered, including the sweep Stakes, were won by Zerolene lubricated cars. The sweepstakes winner, an Overland Model 92, driven by Joe Eozzani, traveling the 400 miles of desert and mountain roads, averaged 29.36 miles to the gallon of Red Crown gasoline an achievement which the 1924 contest rules made all the more remarkable as they forbade coasting or stopping the engine. Right here, in the official records of this economy run classic, is your answer to the oil question. Why pay tribute to the superstition that east ern oil, merely because it costs more and is made in the East, is in some mysterious way "better?" Experi enced drivers, out to make records, don't share that superstition why should you? STANDARD OIL COMPANY (California) . ooEsnn ior in which great difficulties were overcome. Before the trip ended al most the entire paryt had been taken seriously ill, and two members, the representatives of the Smithsonian Institution and the Republic of Pan ama, died of fever. It was not until the very end of the trip, he said, that any white Indians were seen, because the rumor had preceded the party that its object was to take such Indians into cap- 1 tivity and bring th?m away. Finally, after making frier. -is with an Indian chief of a coastal tribe, and curing him and many others of var ious ills, he got the opportunity to win the friendship of all the tribes of the region by stamping out two epidemics of smallpox. Then he was allowed to see the white Indians whose presence had al ways been denied. He persuaded the native chiefs that their difficulties would be solved if a kinship could be established between the white In dians and the white people of the north. He saw about 400 of these In dians of all ages and photographed about a hundred of them. Discovery Valuable Aid to Medicine One scientist is of the opinion that the condition under which white In dians are produced is by leucodermia. He is Dr. Cuthbert Christy, of the Smithsonian Institution, and an ex pert on tropical diseases. He has made a thorough examination of the white Indian children. "I believe Mr. Marsh has made a great discovery," he said. "But not so much in the field of anthropology as in the field of tropical medicine. There is an interesting disease es pecially prevalent in the West Indies which is known as leucodermia. When I examined these children I found markings on them more symetrical than those you observe in the West Indian cases. "If we could get a commission here to investigate these cases I think it would lead to important results. There has never been any success at getting at the cause of the disease from the West Indian cases, and it has been tried repeatedly. But with these observations localized as they are, it seems to me there may be hope of finding the cause and devising the cure." This trip from their native jungles to the very heart of civilization means little to the three little white Indians. They are, perhaps, the lon- even if it does co ft Jess liet children in the world. And quit the most bewildered. "The little girl had worn clothes, but neither of the boys had ever won a strip until 1 got them. said Mr. Marsh. "1 tied a red bandana hand kerchief on each. When 1 got to Col on I put them in shirta and pants but I had a lot of trouble at first to keep them from undressing right in the hotel, they were so hot and uncom fortable. In New York they do nothing but stare. They blink their queer, squint ing blue eyes at the crowds, the build ings, the traffic. Sometimes Margaret cries. Alo and Chepu nver shed a tear; they are men, and their stoic ism is as typically Mongolian as their prominent cheek bonea and flattened noses. But they do not smile, either; and one feels that perhaps, when they crawl into strange beds at the Wal dorf, and the lights go out, they hug each other quite tightly, in their ut ter darkness. Rabbit Poisoning Exper iment Proving: Success Experimental rabbit poisoning with strvchnine alkaloid being carried on in the lower Willow creek and Board man sections this week by F. E. Gar low is proving this poison to be very effective. Mr. Garlow. is killing as many as 250 to the ounce of poison and in some instances as high as 500. Roy Fugate, of the Biological Survey, has also been employed in this work this week, holding demonstration meetings on lower Willow creek and at Boardman and Irrigon. The strychnine alkaloid is mixed with young alfalfa cut in from one to two inch lengths, and placed at least 100 yards from the field. Roger W. Morse, county agent, believes it to be the most virulent poison yet tried for the destruction of the rabbit pest. In a drive at Boardman last Sunday 1600 rabbits were killed by its use. Ellis R. Minor, from his ranch near lone, has been spending several days in Heppner on business this week. LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE TO VACATE PORTION OF WATER STREET.
