' The following is from the ; Everett (Wash,); Herald, of Saturday. ! October 25. Considering that It Is the jomment of & Washington paper upon the fork f an Oregon ;nian. It is epeclally worthy of note. f- ' - For the past . two weeks . the, Hon. Thomas W. Pottefr of Salem, Ore,, has teen the'guest of Dr. Charles M. , Bu chanan, or the Tulallp United" States Indian agency. Mr. Potter la-i the su perintendent of the Urge Indian Train ing School situated at'Chemawa, Ore ipon and within .'five miles of Salem, the capital city of Oregon During the past two ; weeks Mr. Potter and the doctor have, been traveling about fPu-i get Sound, ' visiting;- the various ' . feub agencles of the Tulallp agency in search of pupils desiring to attend the .Dig unemawa scnwi. , . 11 It Is not generally" known; that the Tulallp reservation ; is but one of .five reservations binder 'the jurisdiction of the Tulallp Indian agency.- This agen cy has beneath Its Jurisdiction the Muckleshoot reservation in the White River valley; the Port Madison reser vation (or .fOld Man House"), where Chief Be-at-tiuh (more commonly but erroneously known as Chief Seattle' is burled; the Tulallp reservation, which, being the premier reservation in both acreage and population, is headquar ters for all the 'rest. the ; Swlnomlsh reservation across Swlnomlsh slough from the town of La Conner; and the Lumnii reservation, across Belllngham Bay from the town ojTWhatcom. These five reservations are all sub-agencies ynder the Jurisdiction of the Tulallp United States Indian agency, all of which are under the 'jurisdiction of Dr. Charles M. Buchanan, who is at once superintendent. 'United States Indian agent 'and special disbursing! agent. The doctor hag been at his present post for years and has had much : experi ence in and knowledge of Indian ser vice work. . . :."' - i - - - -" .... t f - The Government system of : Indian education is a chain In three links; ' 1. The reservation, ; day . ( school, which corresponds to vthej district school. It takes the. child and! teaches him for a port ton of the day. The child still remains In his home and is not separated from his family.; Io the -Indian service these schools serve to familiarize the Indian child with En glish, both spoken and written; the rudiments of educational work; and the beginnings' of civilization in so far as it Is touched by ' the , educational system. When this has been done .the child li tnniferred'to, ; , i I ; , 2.

The child' is taken from his home, but' not from his reservjitien. He advances in his educational work and ; his surround ings enable him the better to profit by same.

These schools ; have th5 largest and most expensive plants and the; largest enrollments, for. they draw thir at tendance from the country at large: The widest scope and the largest pos sible opportunity- are given here to- the Industrial features of Indian education, for the idea at the basis of Indian edu cation Is- essentially l and Intensely practical. ' The idea is not to make bookworms of Indian children, but to make good husbands and good house wives) of them to educate nhem back to their land and their future environ ments Instead of. away from them. 'At these large non-reservation "schools a boy or a girl may learn any ordinary trade by working at it in the shops, etc., just as a white boy, or girl would be required to do. The boys may mas ter printing, carpentry, plumbing, brfck laying, painting, steam fitting., wagon ' building. -harness making, shoe mak ing, blacksm I thing, baking, tailoring, farming, dairying. -stock raising, fruit - farming, etc. The girls may take up nursing, sewing, dressmaking, ladles tailoring, laundry work, cooking, music, teaching, dairy work, etc. In fact, thel non-reaervatlon school represents thai very highest type of Indian educational . work, and from it there ahould be the very smallest step to modern civiliza tion In alt its varied pursuits, j Mr. Potter's school at Chemawa la of the third type, as are the Carlisle, Haskell, Chllocco, phoenix ' and other well known, India a chools. Chemawa Is the largest school, Indian school,, on the Pacific Coast, and is pne of the Margest; In the country. Its plant ; Js Well worth more than half a million Government spends more than $100,000 annually. Last year ' the .enrollment went beyond 700. The Chemawa brass . band, the Chemawa base ball team and the Chemawa football team ' all have more than a local reputation, .and ,tle baseball m crossed bats .with the Everett ' vtim during, the past summer winning one game and losing one. The. schools of Tulalip agency are of the first and second tpyes and are, therefore, the natural "feeders" of the schools of .such a type as Chemawa, and It is for this reason that Mr.' Pot ter la In the Puget Sound country and It Is rr this reason that he hat .been touring the sub-agencies of the Tula- G oc tor his succeeded in j Utir J in the Cbemawa school, ttl3 year the largest class of pupils .ever sent by Tulalip to Chemawa, which. speaks well for his good Influence and speaks equally well of the Judgment of the Tulalip Indians. It is not at all unlikely that the fam ous Chemawa band may tour this sec tion of .the country. on, a concert tour In the near future, which would surely afford1 a musical treat to lovers of good band jnnslc.7.

Mr. Potter, passed through Marys vllle and -Everett, Thursday afternoon, en route-to Chemawa- with a large and extremely interesting party of Indian pupil frofft. the Tulalip reservation.

WAGNER, l OF TILLAMOOK, THINKS .OREGON THE BEST ; DAIRYING COUNTRY IN WORLD, AND THAT THE MOST REMUN ERATIVE INDUSRY. . " - 7 . Think Clover Best Psed. A. P. -Wagner, a prominent dairy man of Woods, Tlllmanook county, has been visiting friends in Marlon county for -the "past few days, and "was Jn Sa lem yesterday. In speaking "to . a Statesman reporter be became enthu siastic upon the subject of stock rais ing and dairying in Oregon, which, he j thinks, is the best state in the Union. Mr. Wagner. ; has been -T in the dairy business 'for- several years, and under stands .every branch of the j industry. He says this business cannot be car ried on successfully unless properly and. carefully managed, and to begin with one ' mast have "good stock: . do scrubs, he thinks, should be allowed in a herd of 'dairy cows, aa it usually costs more t$ keep ',poor cows than good ones, while-the returns are not half so great. He says that where he la located, which he thinks is the beat dairy country. in the world, no mill feed is used at any time of the year,, the herds subsisting entirely - upon : grass. with occasionally a little clover hay. Clover, , he says, gives better returns than any other feed that 'can be grown, and all the farmers in his part of the country depend, entirely upon clover tor both 'pasture' and dry feed. There are creameries, and cheese factories thickly - scattered , all over Tillamook county, he sas, and; farmers may either sell their cream .outright for cash or have the milk .made into cheese. Their product goes to Port- land and San jYancisco and fhey'real Iie not less than 30 cents per pound for butter the whole year round, rr Throughout the section in whlcH Mr.! Wagner resides, he says, each cow brings . her owner from $51 , to . $68 per year, at; least that Is the record - this year, Mr. Wagner says more clover musf be. grown. In the "Willamette "val ley before the dairy business can . be carried on successfully upon a large scale. . . i r"-:--'-? -- '.'..'' To Investigate Dairies. J. S.- Broshearf .. of Lake Parte, Wash., was seen by a Statesman reporter yes terday on the streets of Salem, and in speaking of; the conditions in his part of .Washington., he said everything , was In. a flourishing condition. vMany peo ple are coming into his section from the East, and property of all descriptions is rapidly rising in value. He iwill leave in a few days for a visit to Till amook county, to investigate the dairy business over there.. .- Just Making Inquiries. David Jacobson, of Eola, was in the city yestedray. looking up prices on hops. He has 67 bales Vf choice -hops and is holding for JO cents. He says he doesn't have to rush his hops into market for the first price offered, and will hold for another month at least. He also says that very few hops have been sold .in his neighborhood, there being about 1.009 bales there yet to be disposed of. -. ' '.. .' Better Market In Dallas. ' ' O. W. Chapman, a farmer living in Polk county, about four : miles from Salem, was in the city yesterday. He Is quite' an extenslTe potato grower, and in speaking of the yield In his vi cinity said the rop was about two thrds of last year's yield. He says the Balem , potato market Is too; dead for him. and he has been hauling his crop to Dallas, where he got 40 cents per bushel, cash,. while in Salem 25 cents was the highest price offered. , Potate Crop Short. John Hlckey. a farmer residing about seven miles south of the city, was in town yesterday, and reports fall work pretty well done up in his district. He says" summer fallow has all been sown, and farmers are . now waiting for rain so they can begin plowing. iTune picking and- potato digging are over, he says, and there is little doing; in the way of farm 'work. He resorts . the potato crop as being about 60 per cent short of last year's yield. - :fS ? VCLiiaWMskVFirk''' y-v Seattle.

Opinion by Justice Bean. - ; V - ... r; This is a case In which the appellant. Meldrum, and Manny Howard, were Jointly .charged j with the crime of stealing a mare, the property of R. R. Palmer and II. E: Penham. during, the spring of 1901, by changing the brand on the animal from "I. C," to H. O.. by what Is known as the ''picking' method. The mare was identified and taken possession of - by Pajmer, not withstanding the change of the brand. Meldrum and Howard ware both ar rested, tried separately and convicted, whereupon Meldrum appealed upon tho ground that as the owners of the mare requested him and Howard to take -up the animal if found on the range, there could have been no felonious Intent in the-taking and hence no crime. - The Supreme Court held, however, that the fact of their changing the brand upon the animal and the manner In which it was done, and tha driving of the . animal fifteen or ' sixteen miles away without notifying the owner that the animal was in their possession. were all suspicious circumstances and that the jury was justified In: finding a verdict of -felonious intent. .The application of Manny Howard.

HOG PENS BURN TO THE GROUND WITH ABOUT EIGHTY ANI MALS Last night at 11 o'clock the steam whistle at the Insane Asylum sounded the alarm of fire. and. in a very few seconds everything was bustle and ex citement a that wig institution. The city fire department was at once noti fied and everything was Jn readiness to respond to a call for help If help was required. As soon as the fire was located. Superintendent Calbreath sent word that the local, or Asylum hose team was prepared to cope with the blaze, so the city department was not called into service. . . . .

" . ' When a reporter arrived upon, the scene a few minutes past eleven, the roor or the burning sty had fallen, and the pitiful squeals of the poor, suffer ing brutes In all the stages of . torture were clearly heard. About ninety hogs were confined In the building, and only eight or ten were saved, though ; the sides were knocked off when the fire was first discovered, and efforts made to drive them out, but without success. When the roof and t - ' and fallen in, many carcasses could be seen lying upon the floor, in some places five or six In a ile. and the sickly stench of burning flesh arose from the smouldering ruins.

The origin of the fire Ts a mystery to alt, but it is 'suggested that it may have been spontaneous ' combustion, caused by 'the frequent use of lime freely scattered In the -straw through out the pens as 'a disinfectant and pre ventative for cholera, which . disease had at one time infected the hogs at that olacc. ; ."'
