Oregon, Wednesday Morning, 1- Servicewomen Another of the Salem district's newly enlisted navy WAVES, Viola Catherine Schultz, Chemawa. Miss Schulz for several years has been an employee of tht indian service at Chemawa. She is on of a group of new WAVE enlistees who will leave about September 1 with the special Salem area WAVE platoon, for basic training and naval indoctrination at the WAVES recruit training center, New York. This group of young women will remain together as a unit throughout their recruit school days. Th platoon now is nearing its full complement of 30 members, according to the local navy station. More than that number, however, will be accommodated if th original objective is exceeded. SOME RECENT PRESS NOTICES A string quartet from the Chemawa Indian School rendered several pleasing selections at the afternoon meeting of the Y. M. C. A. last Sunday. For several years under the superin- tendency of H. B. Wadsworth, the Chemawa school has made rapid progress, and is now one of the largest institutions in the Indian service, with over six hundred pupils enrolled. The music at the Sunday evening assembly has been one of the notable features of the service. This has been in charge of Ruthyn Turney, violinist. The music of the quartet revealed to the public that a unique work is being done at Chemawa by Mr. Turney as a composer, as well as leader of the orchestra. He has made a careful study of Indian music, and has the ability to put its spirit into a melody that is pleasing to modern ears. In the Indian Suite, which was played with fine effect, he has given a beautiful expression of the spirit of the early Indian people in their joys, in their sorrows and in their ceremonies. The first movement, Dawn, opens with the first, appearance of light in the east. Earth and nature throb as they struggle to awaken from sleep and meet the new day. Then we hear the first call of the bird to its mate, and the mate's response. As the sun rises above the horizon and tints the mountain peaks with gold the earth throbs cease, and awakened nature responds with life everywhere. The second movement, ' 'The Dance, a Tribal Ceremonial, reveals the spirit of the men around the campfire as they unite in the simple rites that express their joy and hope and gratitude. Lamentation, or Death of a Warrior, is weirdly solemn and pathetic. Some years ago Mr. Turney was crossing the Cascade mountains and near the summit he met a funeral procession. The body of the dead was strapped to a pony, and the men who rode before and behind were chanting a death song, while the rocks and hills gave back the sad and solemn echo. The music made an impression on the composer which he has never forgotten. He gives it in this movement. The last movement is ' 'The Hunt, or Braves on the Chase.'' After the excitement of preparation and departure you hear the galloping tread of the horses and the rush and movement of the braves pursuing the buffalo fleeing over the plains; then the feeling of victory as they care for their prizes and return to camp. Oregon Journal, Portland, Ore., July4,1915. Indian music played by a string quartet from the Chemawa Indian School was the feature of the Indian meeting yesterday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A auditorium. It was the weird Lamentation movement in the Indian Suite, composed by Ruthyn Turney ... at the Chemawa School, that moved the speaker of the day, Rev. Edward Marsden, missionary to Alaska, and himself part Indian, to say that the Indians no longer thought of themselves as a dying race. The Indian Suite, which aroused so much favorable comment, was played by a quartet consisting of the composer, Mr. Turney, first violin; Alex Melovidov, second violin; William Palin, viola, aud Willie Reddie, violincello. Portland Ore.) Telegram, June 28, 1915. tire evening. The quartet was under the leadership of Mr. Turney, who is a composer of no mean ability as well as a master performer on the violin. The other members of the quartet were students of the Chemawa Indian School. Their rendering of the First Indian Suite was exceptionally fine. The narrative lecture by Mr. Kennedy on Les Miserables by Hugo was an excellent evening's entertainment in itself. Mr. Kennedy's powers of narration are exceptionally strong, and one really received more from the lecture than he would from an ordinary reading of the book itself. All the husks had been removed and only the kernel of the story remained. Amity Oregon) Standard, October 8, 1915 The Indian String Quartet from the Indian Training School at Chemawa gave a splendid concert at the Armory recently for the benefit of the Public Library Mr. Richard H. Kennedy drew some vivid word pictures in his interpretation of Victor Hugo's great character, Jean Valjean, which proved an entertaining feature of the evening's program. Woodbum Ore.) Indepdent, Oct. 21, 1915. Speaking of the work of the Indian String Quartet of Chemawa during the Indian Fair at Siletz, Oregon, last August, the Lincoln County Leader of September 3, 1915 said: The quartet is composed of young Indian men, led by Ruthyn Turney. The First Indian Suite, in four parts, composed by Ruthyn Turney, was the finest piece of music ever played on Siletz. The Dawn Light in the Fast,' 'The Dance- Tribal Ceremonial,' Lamentation Death of a Warrior,' The Hunt Braves on the Chase.' The musical expression in this piece changed with the sentiment of the song; sometimes animated and lively, at other times sad and solemn as in The Death of a Warrior and with great animation as in the Chase. The poet certainly leads the human heart. Mr. Turney is one of the masters of musical art. What was perhaps one of the most perfect musical organizations that has visited Dallas in a number of years was the Indian String Quartet, from the Indian training school at Chemawa, that gave a splendid concert at the armory last Thursday evening. The quartet is composed of three Indian boys, students at the training school, and their instructor, Mr. Turney. The program was complete, although the patronage was medicore, and those who heard the talented aborigines were well repaid. Death of a Warrior, and Braves on the Chase, were two Indian compositions that brought well-merited applause, and from that the repertoire ranged through many difficult and beautiful selections of classical music. Each of the players was a talented musician and displayed the careful instruction that had been given by Mr. Turney. Throughout, the program was spirited, and the ensemble work little short of marvelous when one considers that an Indian youth is bringing such sweet music from an instrument that is naturally entirely foreign to him. The interpretation of Victor Hugo's great character, Jean Valjean, from Les Miserables, by Mr. Kennedy, was a fine feature of the entertainment. He had a forceful delivery and a pleasant manner that made one see new and interesting angles to the famous character. Polk County Oregon) Observer, Oct. 15, 1915. The entertainment given under the auspices of the Epworth League of this city at the Auditorium of the High School last Friday evening by the Indian String Quartet was much enjoyed by those in attendance. It was a gen- nine surprise to the majority of those present to hear the Indian boys interpret the classical numbers that filled the program during the en- ' The entertainment put on at the opera house Friday evening under the auspices of the high school was well attended and thoroughly enjoyed by those present. The entertainment was an evening of musical numbers by a string quartet and the story of Victor Hugo s masterpiece, Les Miserables, told by Mr. Kennedy. The quartet which consists of three Indian boys, students at the Chemawa Indian School, under the leadership of Ruthyn Turney, showed exceptional talent and skill in the interpretation of some of the world's masterpieces of music. One number especially appreciated was a composition by Mr. Turney, entitled First Indian Suite. The touching story, as told by Mr. Kennedy, might almost be called a musical number, from the fact that Mr Kennedy possesses a beautiful and very musical voice, which adds greatly to the pleasure of listening to this uplifting life story. Such high class entertainments are certainly worthy of our support. Silverton Oregon) Appeal, October 29, 1915. Mr. Kennedy, of Chemawa, introducing the Indian String Quartet before a large audience in the opera house Friday night, remarked that it is the only string quartet on the Pacific coast engaged in concert work. At the conclusion of the entertainment many were of the opinion that Mr. Kennedy would have been justified in saying that it was also the best string quartet in the country, for their various selections were of great interest. Each number was received with great applause. This company of Indian musical artists have been under the leadership of Ruthyn Turney, instructor and composer of rare ability, until they have become proficient in their work. While the musical features of the evening were good and more than anticipated, the narrative lecture, Les Miserables, from Hugo's masterpiece, and rendered by Mr. Kennedy, was the crowning feature of the entertainment and was worth more than the price of admission. The story conveyed a great lesson and was powerfully delivered by the able orator. Silverton Oregon) Tribune, October 29, 1915. A PERSONAL EXPRESSION-. I have heard only expressions of delight and wonder from the people of Amity since the ap pearance of the Indian String Quartet here the other evening. Many have expressed a desire that they might be secured for a return engagement sometime in the spring. The editor of the Standard remarked to me the next morning that one number alone was worth the price of admission. Rev. G. O. Oliver, Pastor M. E. Church, Amity, Ore. RECENT PRESS NOTICES. Mr. Turney is an accomplished violinist to whom ordinary violin music presents no difficulty, so thorough is his technique and so satisfactory his tone. His bowing is graceful, and he is also a skillful composer, one of his encores being ' 'First Nocturne,'' written while he was touring at Skagway. He was very cordially received.

THE LATE ELIJAH BROWN 1 I EDITOR OF THE PAPER PUBLISHED AT CHEMAWA INDIAN SCHOOL. SALEM, Sept. *. Elijah Brown, an Imftan. of'the'Digger tr b* and editor o the Chemawa American, who died at the Chemawa Indian Training1 School August 29, was born in Southern California in 1876, but had spent most of his life In Oregon. He lived for several years near The Dalles, and completed a course at Chemawa four years ago. After taking post-graduate work at Carlisle, Pa., and Haskell, Kan., he returned to the Coast, and served for a short time as a reporter on San Francisco papers. Two years ago he returned to Chemawa, and took charge of the school paper, making it a complete success. Only last week he issued the first number for the new year, changing the publication from a monthly to a weekly. Brown was a man of more than average ability, and was quite popular among students and officers at Chemawa. Among the editorial articles in the American were many terse paragraphs containing gems of advice to those who were preparing at Chemawa for the battles of life. As he was editor, compositor and pressman, he had little time for careful writing, but he always wrote something worth reading, and wrote it in a readable style. He was a member of the Mtthodist Episcopal Church, and was a leader in T. M. C. A. work at Chemawa. He assisted in the organization of the Salem Press Club last year, and was a regular attendant upon all meetings of the club. The accompanying picture is one that Brown took great pleasure in showing to his friends. The ferocious look which he assumed for the occasion is in direct contrast with the pleasant smile.he always wore. 1 P lt; main in Southern.

THE GENERAL PUBLIC which has some breadth between the eyes, cannot understand 'iow so many people connected with public institutions are so petty, envious, jealous and malicious. Whenever the lid is raised from such an institution, this rather slimy stuff is most prominent. Jt is an occasion of wonder .that men and women instrusted with public business a good deal of importance, instructors and others who I 6hould be examples to those about them, are so small ' and underhanded in their ways, so devious in their ; methods ot bringing about changes that may profit ij themselves. The reports now coming from the Indian school at Chemawa give one this unpleasant feeling. Manifestly there is malice and petty spite back of the charges which have been preferred igainst Superintendent Chalcraft. From what we have heard of him ho is a man well qualiifed to hold such a position. His experience has been varied as well as wide, and those who know j him well speak of him as a superior man. Why the Government will give so much heed to petty gossip and j 'dignify by its red tape ai 1 investigations mat- j tfr that oftentimes does not rise about the dignity of teacup scandal, is one of those things that is past finding out. In such an institution it is not hard for a pet mind to get together matter that will lead to such an ' Investigation as that which is now in progress at (' mawa. Nearly always it is based either upon malice ot somebody whose graft has Veen cut off or his inefficiency exposed through loss of position, or it is a re- j flection of the ambition of some one holding a subor- dtnate position who uses 'he pulling-down method to i get up. Such a man as Superintendent Chalcraft should not be made to suffer for any light cause. If there is good, sound reason that is another matter, but the public which is Informed does 1 5 TO SUPERINTENDENT CHALCRAFT OF CHEMAWA INDIAN SCHOOL ANSWERS CHARGES FILED.

Fifth That he does not carry the indents' funds on his official account. To these charges Superintendent 1 halcral't has issued a statement in which he outlines his management of I he institution. Following is the i iitenient: 1 doubt if at any Indian school in 1 he United States there is a case of immorality that does not become the e.bmmon knowledge of the employes mil also the pupils, It is no exception nt rhe Chemawa school, although every effort is made to suppress not only the practice, but information regarding the same. From ,ie beginning of my incumbency I have used every safeguard possible in screening' windows, nutting the most secure safety locks on the dormitory doors at the cost of 36 per dozen; keeping a night watchman; detailing lady employes to . haperon girl students to and from school, and other places where they are likely to come in contact wth boys, and urging 11 of my employes to be vigilant, as my office books show. Notwithstanding every precaution, we do have occasional cases of illicit intercourses i iet ween ptipils. Since school opened :,st October there have been but three such cases, each of which was promptly investigated by me and the guilty parties sent away, with the exception of one boy, who is held pending arrangements for proper placing. 'When it is taken into consideration that we have enrolled this ye.linearly 700 ; plipils, coming from all isorts of environment, many from the condition is not subject, to adVerse crit icism. If construed in the most unfavorable light my answer would be yes, anil if given a. reasonable construction, it would no. The facts were as follows: A group of girls in McBride's hall ranging in age from 1+ to 17 and possibly 18 (none over), had been violating rules by going off into the country in couples and groups, where they were likely to meet school boys, and defying the authority of their matron in various way until something- had to be done with them. The. matron had talked to them, deprived them of attending social parties, and had locked them in their 100ms for these misdemeanors, but without avail. On the occasion of the alleged whipping their matron reported to me that, a party of eight of this group had slipped out of tlieir build- Ing into the country and had gone a' mih' or more before being iocateu. They returned in a boisterous manner, singing and shouting to the pupils they en countered. The excuse given tor this conduct was that they had asked some of the class-room teacher to take them out walking which they had declined to do because they said they were too tired to go, so the girls concluded to go again by themselves if the teachers1 were too lazy to do so. i would add that the employes are i generous in going walking witli girls when requested but do decline some: times as is propel: to do, if they have some reason for not going. The matron locked the girls up 'in a dormitory and reported to me. As all other means had been tried, it seemed nee nsary to resort to corpora) punishment, which I was loathe to do, because I am opposed to it except in extreme cases. The girls understood that corporal punishment could not be used, although I have a impression that since the 1004 school rules' were issued provision was made tor it 'under the direction of the superintendent only.' in some circular but as 1 cannot iind the circular in my office, I may be mistaken, but think not. After talking it over with the matroni we decided to have the girls pledge themselves to discontinue these offense or I would make them cry. A switching was given the girl who proposed the trip into the country to enforce the decision. Anything le s meant entire loss of control of the girls. The girls understood our dedision and concluded to cry rather tha n make the promise, which they j did in the quickest time possible. J some even at the slightest touch. I then gave the same treatment to the giri who proposed the trip, and fold them -that if they repeated the offense they would get a whipping. AIIhough some of the girls made light of it, the treatment was effective and I pave not heard of a case of dis-1 obedience in the building since j'Wliat less could I have done? Tins;, was the second time in six years that anything in the nature of whipping gills has 1 occurred; the first time being.- in the summer of 1909 while I was atffay on a business trip in the interest of the school, when my assistant, Mr. Campbell, in charge of the scliool, whipped a party of large girls for a similar offense, which was effective and I never heard a word of .omplaint. from any one.

Relative to the charge that he has been negligent in following the spirit of religious regulation, he replies that many Catholic pupils attend the school and require different teaching in religion, which keeps them away from the morning services. He also said that the pupils' funds are entered officially on the books and are kept in a safe especially furnished for that purpose. The superintendent alleges that Dr. Mark Skiff, of Salem, Is responsible for the charges. He also declares that his assistant, Mr. Campbell, has been partly responsible, being actuated by a desire to succeed Chalcraft as superintendent. He says Dr. Skiff brought the charges because he was revengeful as a result of a recent wood deal in which the Government came out on the better end. When seen at the Imperial Hotel regarding the Chemawa Indian School affair and Mr. Chalcraft's accusations, Assistant Superintendent Campbell declined to make a statement, declaring anything regarding the subject should come from the Indian Commissioner at Washington or Mr. Chalcraft. CHALCRAFT TALKS OF RECENT TROUBLE Although some of the girls made light of it the remedy was effective, and I have not heard of a case of disobedience in the institution since. What less could I have done? This was the second time in six years that anything in the nature of whipping girls has occurred, the first time being in the Summer of 1809, when I was away on a business trip in the interest of the school, when my assistant, Mr. Campbell, in charge of the school, whipped a party of large girls for a similar offense, which was effective, and I never heard a bint of complaint from anyone.

The charges are largely trivia), and the answer in each case is frank and sufficient. f That ends that phase of the case or should. But the charges are part and parcel of a deep-laid plot of scheming and disloyal men in the service,' seeking promotion. That is dastardly. It is to.d ish as well, for such methods never orj soldom avail for permanent advantage to the man or men employing them. It is almost pitiful that some men will yet use such methods. It would be -pitiful were il not contemptible. SALEM, Or., April 22. After a careful examination of several sources of Information, R. G. Valentine, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, declares that he finds immorality among the students at the Chemawa Indian Training School is common knowledge at Chemawa; that the superintendent whipped a number of girls ranging in age from 15 to 20 years, and also that some of the children were compelled to whip each other; that there Is a spirit of religious regulations, and that the pupils' funds is not carried In the superintendent's official account. Superintendent Chalcraft Is now called to answer charges and submit an explanation, which he has done in detailed form. The superintendent explains the immorality charge today as follows: I doubt if at any Indian school in the United States there is a case of immorality that does not become common knowledge among employes and pupils. It is no exception at the Salem school, although every effort is made to suppress not only the practice, but the publicity of the same. From the beginning of my incumbency I have used every safeguard possible by screening windows, putting the most I secure safety locks on dormitory i doors, keeping night watchmen, detailing women employes to chaperon girl students to and from the school, and the other places where they are likely to come in contact with boys, and urging all my employes to be vigilant. Notwithstanding every precaution, we have occasional eases of immorality among the pupils. ir: opened last October there have been three such cases, each of which was promptly investigated by me and the guilty parties sent away, with the exception of one boy, who was held pending arrangements for proper placing. 'When considering the fact that we have enrolled this year 700 pupils, coming from all sorts of environment, many from the worst homes, and some received who have been ruined before entering the school, It would seem that the moral condition Is not subject to adverse criticism.

Chemawa Indian school is still in the hand* of Supervisor R. 11. Hig gins, who is acting superintendent in chargt. Superintendent Chalcraft still being suspended pending an alleged Investigation. The first investiga tlon of the charges against Chalcraft was made by E. P. Holcombe. chief of supervisors in the Indian service. The result, of that investigation was not made public, but practically sus talned the Chalcraft administration. But the bad effect of probing into matters really of no consequence produced a spirit of unrest in the school, and the attendance began to decline. This was made very apparent under the Higgins control, and the attendance has gone down from 600 to 300. The slightest request on the part of Indian children gives ; them permits to go home to their J parents, and the attendance is being scattered. The whole situation looks like a 1 job on the Salem school, in the opin j ion of prominent business men and 1 friends of the school. Most of the I business men at Salem have bten j holding a high opinion of Superintendent Chalcraft. ChaUVaft has always stood very high in the Indian service, and has a long record of good j work to his credit. People here can not understand the animus of the warfare on Chalcraft, for he was ; very successful in keeping up the at-j tendance, and in securing appropria- Uoria for the school buildings, and CHEMAWA INDIAN SCHOOL IN VESTIGATION RESULTS IN DISCHARGE OF CAMPBELL A dispatch to the Portland .lourna' from Washington.

I V additional grounds. -Mr. Chalcraft was also able to make appropriations j go a long ways in repairs and re i building. It is certain the admlnis-' tration of the school met with gen I eral approval in the state and the whole Northwest, and the education and morals and welfare of the children were never better looked after. It is believed by many that the in vestigation has been sprung at this time, and that the attendance at the Salem school is being run down to ; help out the situation at the Puyal lup, Wash., school, where the government has spent about a quarter of a million dollars, and has only about 100 attendance. The Salem school is in danger of losing its support and appropriations in a large part for 1912 the way things are going, and as substantially no charges against Chalcraft have beetn sustained the continuation of his suspension can have put one purpose to seriously cripple the Salem Training school, and lay the foundation for removing its students to Puyallup. if not permanently closing the institution lo cated near this city. The expendi tures of this school have been about 100,000 per annum, most of which found its way to this city. With the attendance rnu down to one half, there is certain to be a reduction of the maintenance support. The demoralization of the boys and girls by scattering them to their homes, ami the difficulty of ever getting them togKher again makes the outlook not very encouraging for the Salem insti tution. and positively injurious to interests of the boys and girls who are wards of Cncle Sam. o CHEMAWA INSTITUTE ON h2 ESmpIoyes of Indian Service Enroll for Opening Classes.

R. 1921 MUST BE AMENDED; OTHERWISE NATIVES FACE LOSING BATTLE After little advance notice, hearings were held April 1st on an Alaska bill, H. R. 1921, introduced by Representative Wesley D'Ewart, of Montana, belore the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs. Representative A. L. Miller, of Nebraska, is Chairman. (See last issue of News-Bulletin for other members of House Interior Committee.) Protests to the bill, H. R. 1921, were filed by the General Federation of Women's Clubs, the Indian Rights Association, the American Association cv , Indian Affairs, and others. H. R. 1921 is A Bill to settle possessory land claims in Alaska . The arbitrary speed with which the bill is being pushed through the Congress and the lack of time given an individual or community of natives to file claims to their land are objectionable. First, any community of Alaska natives or any individual whose lands, water or other natural resources have not been confirmed by patent, court decision, or other valid legal action, must file a claim with the Court of Claims within two years after the Alaska bill has been passed. Such a law would force Alaska natives into court to prove ownership of lands they have claimed and used for a livelihood since time immemorial. In the remote and inaccessible areas where small groups of Alaska Natives live, two years seems a short time in which to establish through the courts aboriginal rights . A six-year statute of limitations, such as applies in private debt matters, would not appear excessive. Also the bill gives the attorney an interest in possession of the land, if the Alaska Natives cannot pay his fee. From the standpoint of the client, as well as the lawyer, such a position would make it more difficult than ever to win a possessory land suit. It was suggested that the language concerning attorneys' contracts in the Indian Claims Commission Act might be inserted in the Alaska bill. This would recognize the attorney's right to file a claim for his client even though the attorney's contract was not formally approved by the Secretary of the Interior and the attorney might be without recourse if his client failed to pay him. H.R. 1921 would grant unrestricted patents-in- fee to all individual and group claimants recognized by the Court of Claims. In effect the bill repeals reserved lands . Until a better solution is possible, some Alaska Natives Continued on page 2 Arizona's Reservation Indians Win Social Security Benefits By Arthur Lazarus, Jr. A recent Federal Court decision that crippled or disabled reservation Indians are constitutionally entitled to the same Social Security payments that are due other American citizens brings Arizona Indians nearer full enjoyment of the rights and privileges of American citizenship. In a ruling from the bench on February 20, United States District Judge Henry A. Schweinhaut unequivocally condemned as unconstitutional and illegal a Social Security benefit program for disabled persons, proposed by the Arizona State Legislature, which excluded from its scope any person of Indian blood while living on a Federal Indian reservation. The Court held, in finally dismissing Arizona's suit against Federal Security Administrator Oveta Culp Hobby: Ithink the Administrator could not, constitutionally, or under the terms of the statute, itself, probably for that matter, approve a plan predicated, as it is, upon the present statute of Arizona in this matter. The other 47 states of the union have abandoned discrimination against Indians in Social Security. Arizona itself abandoned discrimination against Indian voters in August 1948 and New Mexico followed suit a few weeks later. Both these Southwestern states in 1949 abandoned their policy of excluding non-reservation Indians from Social Security rolls. Each of these advances was won through court action undertaken by the Indians themselves through attorneys of their own choosing. The argument of Arizona, presented by the State's Assistant Attorney General Kent Blake, was that reservation Indians were wards of the Federal Government and therefore not entitled to State aid. The Apache and Hualapai Tribes of Arizona and the Association on American Indian Affairs, represented by their attorney, Felix S. Cohen, argued, on the contrary, that Indians are full citizens of the nation and of the State in which they reside, and that any discrimination against them is forbidden by the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Assistant U. S. Attorney Ross O'Donoghue joined in characterizing the Arizona statute as class legislation. Judge Schweinhaut, in questioning Arizona counsel, summed up the Federal Government's position in turning down Arizona's proposed discriminatory plan, in these words: Continued on back page Published by THE NATIONAL CONGRESS OF AMERICAN INDIANS A Membership Organization Composed Entirely of Indians NEWS BULLETIN Subscription fee by the year 5 for individual Indian members NCAI 10 for non-Indians FRANK GEORGE, Editor 4 NATIONAL CONGRESS OF AMERICAN INDIANS 815 Dupont Circle Building Washington 6, D.C. Enclosed is J for Membership Tribe Contribution Name Address Time for Change in Indian Affairs As we go to press, we feel certain that the Indian people and those deeply concerned with Indian affairs will everywhere rejoice over the President's acceptance of Dillon Myer's resignation as Commissioner of Indian Affairs. Whenever a new President assumes office, it is customary that high appointive officials submit a resignation. Washington gossip had it that Mr. Myer did not expect the President to accept his resignation, but to continue him in office. Thus, when Dillon Myer was released, it came as a blow in some quarters. NCAI and many other organizations concerned with American Indians are vastly relieved over his departure. From the beginning of Mr. Myer's Commission- ership in 1950, NCAI tried to work with him in one of the most difficult administrative jobs in the Federal service. We had heard that he was an able administrator. We also did not question his integrity. But as time went on, and new regulations emanated from the new palace guard , and new bills were proposed to the Congress, and funds were requested for new activities, it was apparent that Commissioner Myer had little respect for the slow progressive methods of Indian rehabilitation begun in 1928 under the Republican-Quaker administration of Indian Affairs. Commissioner Myer sought to impose on the law- encrusted Indian Bureau many administrative policies and methods he had followed in a new agency, the War Relocation Authority, which he had previously headed, and abolished. To the extent that Indian organizations were involved, Commissioner Myer did not grow on the job. We congratulate President Eisenhower on his decision to let Myer go. We hope that he will name a Commissioner who unlike his predecessor, will be more interested in working with human beings towards a just solution of their intricate problems than in extending bureaucratic power and practices until the Indian Service closes its doors. In the meantime, W. Barton Greenwood, chief executive officer, is serving as Acting Commissioner on a 30-day basis. Alaska Bill Must be Amended (Continued from front page) want their lands in a reserve status, protected by the Federal Government. The Constitution of the U. S. declares that private property may be taken only for a public purpose. No public purpose is stated in this bill. However, during the course of hearings, it was apparent that the pulp industry would be served, if the Alaska Natives could not establish possessory land rights in the Court of Claims before the deadline. Under this bill, the Alaska Natives would be deprived of exclusive possession of beaches as well as of submerged land. This means depriving the Natives ' of thsir most valuable possession, as their livelihood depends on fishing and hunting along the shores. K the beaches and waters are actually needed, they should be subject to negotiation or condemnation, like the land of other individuals and communities. For these reasons, the intent of the bill appears arbitrary and discriminatory as far as the rights of the Alaska Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts are con- cerned. Indians and their friends should demand * fairsand honorable dealings for the first inhabitants of America's last frontier. Jim Thorpe Dies After Heart Attack Jim Thorpe, greatest all-around athlete in American sports history, died March 28 of a heart attack. He was 64 years old. Thorpe was eating a meal in his trailer-court home, in suburban Lomita, Calif., with his wife, Patricia, when he collapsed. Born in Prague, Okla., Jim was the son of a ranchman with Sac-Fox Indian blood predominating in a mixture that included Dutch, Welsh and Irish. He was one of twin boys, each of whom weighed 10 pounds at birth. His brother died at the age of eight. Thorpe attended Haskell Institute and Carlisle where Glenn S. (Pop) Warner urged him to try out for football. In 1911 and 1912 he was a sensational runner, kicker, and passer and was named on Walter Camp's A11-America team. Most authorities still class him as the greatest football player of all time. In his 23 years of amateur and professional sports, Jim actually set few records and most of them were in the 1912 Olympic Games at Stockholm. He won 8,412 points out of a possible 10,000. His record has never been equaled. He was personally decorated by the King of Sweden, who said to him, You, sir, are the greatest athlete in the world . Thorpe brought home trophies valued at 50,000. When a charge of professionalism was placed against him, he returned the Olympic trophies. The second nearest competitor, H. K. Wieslander, of Sweden, received the trophies, but never opened the box. He sent them back to Thorpe with this message, I do not know what your rules are in regard to amateurism in America, but I do know that Thorpe is the greatest athlete in the world. I didn't win the Olympic championship. Thorpe won it. Governor Johnston Murray, of Oklahoma, has started a memorial fund in Thorpe's honor. Jim Thorpe was buried in Oklahoma. He left four sons, Philip, 24 and William, 23, serving with the armed forces in Korea, Richard, 18, in the Navy, and a fourth son, John, 15, who is attending Chemawa Indian School, Chemawa, Oregon. 2v NCAI SUPPORTS BILL MAKING FEDERAL RESTRICTIONS OPTIONAL Few persons are aware of some of the antiquated laws still on the statute books restricting American Indians, although seldom enforced. Many of these Federal discriminations go back to the days when Indians were considered uncivilized and hostile or in a state of captivity . As long as the laws remain on the books, Indians feel they might be subject to discriminatory treatment unlike that practiced toward any other groups of citizens in the country. The archaic regulations might be conceivably cited at any time by arbitrary public officials or members of the general public dealing with Indians to embarrass an Indian citizen in his social or economic relationships. For example, Indians are forbidden to buy an3 sell arms and ammunition, to sell clothing, cooking utensils, guns, traps and other articles commonly used in hunting or agriculture. Even more important, Indians are forbidden to sell the increase of any cattle purchased by the government for their use, although Indian moneys may have been used to purchase the cattle. Probably the best-known Federal law restricting Indians is that which forbids the sale of intoxicating beverages to Indians and the law which forbids the possession of intoxicating beverages in Indian country . A number of bills have been introduced to challenge these Federal discriminatory laws. Proposed legislation, including Senate bill 485 and House bill 1055, also House bill 3409, would not repeal these archaic laws but make them inapplicable unless they conformed with regulations passed by a tribal governing body for a reservation area or with a State's laws. Representative Wesley D'Ewarfs bill H. R. 3409 to terminate certain Federal restrictions upon Indians was reported favorably to the House April 1, after a meeting of the House Interior and Insular Affairs Committee. D'Ewart's bill would permit local governing tribal groups on Indian reservations to determine which Federal prohibitions should continue in their local communities. This would be done by referendum, thereby giving all adult members of an Indian tribe the right to express a personal choice. The National Congress of American Indians has urged the use of the referendum in changing laws relating to Indian and Native communities. As State laws differ from one State to another, so do Indian leaders feel that their people should have the right to vote for or against the proposed laws they must observe. NCAI's Executive Director, Frank George, urges you to write members of the Congress favoring H. R. 3409. (See last News-Bulletin for House and Senate Committees.) WILL AREA OFFICES CLOSE According to the Washington Times-Herald front page, April 1st, Secretary of the Interior Douglas McKay has under study a plan to abolish all Area offices of the Indian Service, if it is feasible. Orme Lewis, Assistant Secretary of the Interior with jurisdiction over the Indian Bureau, said that a change will be made because it is felt that in some instances the work by the Area offices has been unsatisfactory.

McCarran Ys. the Red Man A fascinating four-column feature story appeared in the Washington Daily-News Feb. 2 on the McCarran bill S. 2, To authorize the Secretary of the Interior to issue patents for certain lands to certain settlers in the Pyramid Lake Reservation, Nevada. Written by Anthony Lewis, the story describes the fabulous maze of history, of legal claims and counter-claims, of bitter feuding and personal tragedy behind what looks like a routine bill. For many years Senator Pat McCarran has been looking out for the interests of several white settlers who are neighbors and constitutents of his on the Reservation in Nevada. The Senator's friends have been squatting undisturbed for decades on Indian land. More than 20 years ago when it was legally possible to buy the reservation land these families were farming, they failed to do so. Other squatters bought reservation lands at that time. The Supreme Court in 1944 upheld an earlier Court decision that the land in question belongs to the Paiute Indians. But Senator McCarran persists in introducing his bill at every session of the Congress. The Paiute Indians also hold priorities 1 and 2 for taking water from the Truckee River to irrigate 5800 acres of their reservation land. Many Nevadans, including Senator McCarran, do not like this. The Indians refrain from taking all the water to which they are entitled. Arizona1 s Reservation Indians (Continued- from front page) ...They are our people and they are your people, whether they live on the reservation or live off the reservation, and they get just as old as other people do. ..So we either are in this together for them as well as the other people, or we are not in it at all. Pala Reservation Indians To Receive State Welfare Judge Arthur L. Mundo of the California Superior Court for San Diego, on February 3, declared illegal an attempt by San Diego County to exclude reservation Indians from the operation of the State Welfare Code. Rejecting the argument of County officials that assistance to needy Indians is the exclusive responsibility of the Federal Government, Judge Mundo ruled: TheIndians residing on the Pala Reservation are citizens of the United States and of the State of California; they are lawful residents of the County of San Diego. The County of San Diego has the same right, duty and jurisdiction to provide indigent relief to Indians residing on an Indian reservation as it has toward any and all citizens who are residents of the county under the W. I. Code, Sections 200 and 2500. Each case must, of course, depend upon its own circumstances and facts, but there can be no general disqualification of the Indians from the operation of the code sections referred to. Despite a contrary opinion by the California Attorney General, San Diego County had taken the position that reservation Indians are wards of the nation and, therefore, not entitled to the benefits of State law. On this point, Judge Mundo specifically cited with approval a brief filed by Felix S. Cohen, on behalf of the Association on American Indian Affairs, which demonstrated that Indians, under the laws and Constitution of the United States, are entitled to all the rights and privileges of other citizens. Following that line of reasoning, the Court rejected the concept of wardship as an excuse for discrimination and declared: The fact that laws are passed for the protection of seamen and Indians, as well as other classes of citizens, does not mean that they become wards in the true sense of the word, nor do these special enactments operate to impair other rights which they enjoy as citizens. Evenif the Federal government had promised to ensure the economic welfare of the Indians, that promise would not relieve the State of its responsibility to alleviate any distressed conditions which remained any more than rould a promise of Federal aid to fanners or veterans relieve the State of responsibility toward such persons when they are in need, nor is the responsibility of the State removed because such persons have, in fact, received some aid from the Federal government. In the Court's opinion, the test of whether an individual is entitled to relief is actual need, and not race or blood or alleged eligibility for other benefits, whi h generally do not exist. The decision thus strikes a blow at attempts to exclude Indians from full participation in State and local affairs.

As Hill had played Pacific at Forest, Grove a 6 to 5 score, and Chemawa on a wet field had played Pacific to a standstill, the Hill-Chemaifva name promised to be a battle royal. The field was in excellent condition for a fast game and the large crowd was rot disappointed. In tire first half HiU Military .e.ad my started in to play a much Taster game than Chemawa and for a while il looked as though they would msh the Indians off their feet. They soon had the ball on Chemawa's '-'- -yard line and kicked a very preliy hold goal. The Indians shortly took a brace and soon scored tvjo joints by a safety. The rest of tire half honors were about even and while neither*goal was in danger,'a punting duel gave the Indians a little the better of this part of the half, but on line plunges Hill made considerable gains. The. half ended with the score 3 to 2 in favor of Hill. The Indians outplayed Hill in the second half as indicated by the score. By a series of end runs and line buclis they soon had the ball over lor la touch down, but failed to kick a 'goal, and with eleven minutes to play made another touchdown and Souvig- ner Inched goal. Walker was the star player for Chemawa and was a regular twirling dervish. When given the ball he invariably was 'good for a good gain. He made repeated long runs through the line and around the ends, dodging and lifting' in around his opponents Souyigner onhiunted Hill and ran in their punt's for gains.

The teams are evenly matched and they played such a close game Thanksgiving- day there is sure to be lots of enthusiasm over their coming contest. Each team averages 164 pounds. The Chemawa aggregation is composed of Indians who have listened to (he Government's summons for higher education, and take especially to the great college game. Coach Fleming, formerly with Nebraska University, has accomplished marvels in developing the redskins' play, and with the assistance of their remarkable endurance has turned out a team that fights to the last ditch.

Coach Fleming, formerly of Nebraska University, is utilizing every afternoon drilling the redskin squad into the finer points of improved football for the game in Portland with the Catholic Club on Multnomah field, Saturday. The aborigines are clever In the use of the forward pass, delayed pass, quarterback kick and also rely on straight football. Souvenir, the quarterback, is a student of Mount Pleasant, the former Carlisle star, and is proficient In directing deceiving plays. Smith, the Carlisle center, will strengthen the line. He is built on the plan of a giant and is broad shouldered. La Chapel and Majors are active as guardsmen; big Joe Dlllotrom usually scatters the line at tackle, and would be worthy of opposing Dow Walker; Burke plays the other tackle position. Wilson, the 125-pound right end, is one of the fastest men in running down a punt in the Northwest. The little chieftain literally files over the field and tackles well and hard.

CHEMAWA. Or., Oct 20.- (To the Witor.) I should like to obtain your I.ssistance in locating a certain Indian ndivldual whom I need in connection vith my ethnological studies carried on n behalf of the Smithsonian Instttu- i ion. As you may probably know, I have gt;een engaged for the last four years j n collecting, for the Smithsonian In- itltutlon, all historical, linguistic and ethnological data that are available of he Indian tribes of Oregon. I am try- ng this year to collect such data of the lialapuya Indians. The Kalapuya Indians were in former days by far the nost powerful and numerous tribe of iregon. Their possessions extended 'rom the Cascade Mountains to the 2oast Range, and they claimed all ter- Itory lying between Portland and the Jmpqua River. A good number of our present geographical terms within this territory ire of native Kalapuya origin. Thus, iVapato Lake, Yamhill, Santlam, Che- meketa.Chemawa, Yonkala, Luckiamute, md many others are Indian terms taken rom the Kalapuya language. The ICalapuya Indians were divided into ibout ten distinct groups, whose dia- .ects, while undoubtedly related, possess sufficient marks of differentiation to Justify a separate study. At the present time there are hardly more than five or six Indians left, living chiefly on the Grand Ronde Reservation, who are still able to converse in their own native language and who can still remember some of their native traditions. I have seen all of these, obtaining from them all the information at their disposal. It is absolutely necessary for me to obtain information as to the whereabouts of Louis Kenoyer, also called Conoyer, who is the sole survivor of a very important group known as the Wapato Lake, or Atfalati Indians. He has been reported at different times to be in Portland, Salem, Independence and North Yakima If any readers of The Oregonian happen to know his whereabouts they will confer a great favor upon me by communicating with me at once.

FATHER OF CARLISLE IS SORRY WE DIDN'T BEFRIEND INDIANS LONG TIME AGO gt;* gt; lt; gt; TM (.EXEIIAL R. H. PRATT. Tho contact of peoples is the best of all education. declares General R. H. Pratt, Father of Carlisle Indian School. and really father of the nmi- resers hool Idea for Indian edu cation throughout the United States. who Is a Portland visitor today. This is the essential thought of the policy which represents General Pratt's life work. He instituted it In 1875, when 74 wild Western Indians with long records for rapine and murder, were chosen from the Western tribes under orders of General Phil Sheridan, and sent to a Florida fortress for incarceration. As the benign Jailer of this untamed band, General Pratt, then a Lieutenant In the Regular Army, conceived the ht that the Indian had many splendid qualities, including strong mental powers, if permitted to mingle with the Caucasian race freely and fully. Instead of shackling the cutthroat aggregation, where probably every ked with white man's he converted the band to the ' most peaceful, industrious and safe of Indians known to the Ami continent up to that time, taught to guard themselves, armed and drilled them, inspired them to work in the fields of the adjacent country, educated all, and planted the preaepts of civilization so deeply in their breasts that when the time arrived for the prisoners to he offered return home, a large number volunteered to remain away from the tribes and to stay with the whites. General Pratt is an old man today, as he visits Portland, but his work Is not yet finished. It was he who conducted the first Indians to Hampton's Institute, from the Florida prison. He Is the same man chosen soon afterward to take charge of the Carlisle Barracks, in the Cumberland Valley, of Pennsylvania, where 147 Indian children were gathered from the tribes of the far West, and the great Carlisle Indian School was established. where more than 1000 Indian youths and maids are lt;Concluded on Page lO.) FATHER OF CARLISLE. (Continued from Klr t page.) in constant course of instruction. From this nucleus 25 non-reservation schools have been established in other parts of the country, all seeking to establish the Pratt Idea, that the Indian must be plaoed in the environments of that civ. illzation which he is asked to accept, and be removed during his educational and formative days from tribal and repressive conditions. His work, which merits a monument from Indians and their friends, has been for tiie cause which the still alert and vigorous educator expressed to Frances E. Willard some years ago, In the following words: There are about 260,000 Indians in the United States. There are 2700 counties. I would divide them up in the proportion of about nine Indians to a county, and find them homes and work among our people. That would the knotty problem In three j and there would be no more an 'Indian Question.' General Pratt has Just visited Chemawa Indian School, which was the second important non - reservation school opened, following the Carlisle success. He follows every development in Indian work closely. All efforts at perpetuating the reservation school and tribal segregation he deprecates, even though this work finds support by the churches and other influences seeking to gain selfish preponderance. If from the beginning, declared General Pratt today, the Indians had been recognized as men, encouraged and helped by us to come in contact with the best of our people freely, that In itself would have made them English-speaking, useful citizens long ago. If that contact had been along the same high lines of liberal education and training in our Industries, busi- i ness and social life our best citizens I receive, they would today be aligned with our best citizens. If that contact had been with our lowest population, limited by meager education and Industrial training, their citizenship would be on that plane. Referring to his illustration which he used to Miss Willard several years ago, when he urged placing the Indians throughout the country for close personal contact with the best of the American people, the General continued: 1 know by a multitude of experiences, some of these with the toughest Indian character, that this is both practical and practicable, and that all Indians placed thus In good surroundings for three years would understand and be speaking English, be sufficiently useful to locate among our people successfully, and that the barriers of language and the disabilities of prejudice and, uselessness would be practically removed. I know that If properly environed, they would imbibe sufficient knowledge, Industry and interest in our affairs to enable them to get on as a very part of our people, and that they could, from that on, reasonably aspire to the best there is In our American life. If during this experience all had educational privileges, they would coma to desire more, and, under the opportunities our country opens to all aliens, they could and would go on of themselves to higher things. General Pratt's connection with the Indian problem began In 1867, when he was sent to the Southwest to aid in keeping the restless tribesmen on or near their agencies. He took part in the severe measures pressed by General Sheridan to round up the hostiles. Then when the worst 74 of the numerous leaders of all the Western tribes were being chosen for Imprisonment in la. General Pratt was one of the agencies of Governmental retribution. He was given custody of the prisoners in their 140-mlle wagon Journey to rail- waya, and thence to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and also conducted the party on the longer journey from Kansas to the old Spanish fort near St. Augustine, Evening 1ES.

P. Campbell, assistant superintendent at Che- ma wa, who he says desires the position h.ld now by Mr. Chalcraft. Campbell has been assistant superintendent at Chemawa for nearly 13 years, twice the number of years that Chalcraft has been employed there, and nrior to his employment at Chemawa was at Carlisle. Campbell on other hand strongly denies that he preferred a charge of any kind against. Chalcraft. He says he merely answered yes or gt; o to questions put to hl.n by Commissioner Valentine when he was called to Washington by that official recently and then reluctantly and not until after the commissioner commanded him. as his superior officer, to speak. The commissioner would allow no explanation, he said. The charges were made officially by Dr. Mark S. Skiff of this city and others who own property in the vicinity of the Chemawa school and who got their information from various officials and employes at the institution. Chalcraft's explanation of Dr. Skiff's activity in the matter is that Dr. Skiff was at the head of an alleged-i -wood cotiAInc tered into by farrpers in the vicinity of the school, which, he says, attempted to hold up the institution for excessive prices for fuel. Mr. Chalcraft refused to buy wood for fuel a year or so ago i and purchased coal, which is sa Dr. Skiff to have cost the government in one year 4000 more than the regular cost would have been for wood for fuel bought from farmers of the vicinity. Mr. Chalcraft, does dot neny whipping the girls, nor does he deny the general charges made, but does emphatically deny that he drew blood on any of the girls and says lha,t the punishment v. as a very light one; Although the girls cried during the punishment, he they laughed about it afterwards and made light of the performance. Chalcraft yesterday went to Mrs. M. E. Theise, matron at the institution, and asked her if it was true that he had beaten girls until Wood flowed from their backs, and Mrs. Theise assured him It was not, but girls present during the Interview between Mrs. Theise and Superintendent Chalcraft after Mr. Chalcraft had gone insisted that Mrs. Thaise knew it was true and that she should have told Chalcraft so. Superintendent Chain.i ft also pays Mr. Campbell once whlnped a pirl at Chemawa during his absence. Mr. Campbell does not deny this accusation, u hut says that the girl whipped at that i time was throe quarters negro and one quarter Indian, that it Is a had combination and that the girl attacked tie matron on the occasion for which see. was punished and seriously injured her, almost scratching the matron's eyes out. Her name was Clara Reed and Mr. Campbell incites comparisons between the girl whipped by him and tlie ones whipped by Mr. Chalcratt, Reed now resides at Portland. Mr. Chalcraft points to this whipping as having the desired effect and Agrees with Mr. Campbell that the girl could have been subdued probably in no other manner. That la Ills BXCUSi whipping grown up girls who broke tjis I regulations last October by leaving the I Institution one Saturday afternoon with- ii out escort and without permission.

Chalcraft, who has been at the head of the Chemawa Indian Training School since the resignation of former Superintendent Potter, about seven years ago, and/who was last Summer exonerated from charges brought against him after a thorough investigation had been made by a special agent of the Indian Office, will have as good a position after leaving Chemawa as the one he gives up here. He was reinstated after the charges were found to be groundless, and later, by mutual arrangement, it was decided that he should be given another place, but he was held at the head of Chemawa until another superintendent could be assigned to the place. He has even been tendered the super- intendency of the Jones Indian School in Oklahoma, a school for boys of the Choctaw Nation, held by well-inform d persons in the Indian educational Department to be one of the most desirable appointments in the service. The school is located near Oklahoma City, in one of the most pleasant portions of that state. The place carries with it less difficulties than almost any other Indian School in the United States, and it is understood Mr. Chalcraft, a veteran in the Indian School work will accept the place, assuming charge as soon as his successor at Chemawa can come here.

The Indians of Puget sound have lost their best friend. Dr. Charles M. Buchanan is dead. They will be shocked at the sad and sudden news. Men. women and children of many tribes will mourn. They knew him best and loved him most. Many suns and many snows will come and go before they all realize that their true friend has really gone to the other world. Countless white people will aiBO be saddened by the sudden news They have long admired the devoted and self-sacrificing service of this physician, agent and teacher of the Indians. Six weeks ago his only child. Louise E. Buchanan, a teacher m the E erett schools, was stsricken with a severe case of scarlet fever. Mrs. Buchanan hastened to her place of quarantine to give a mother's care. Dr. Buchanan at his post of duty at Tulal.P was overwhelmed with care in addition to this affliction in bis own family. There were v * cases of pneumonia in the school hospital and a case of small pox had developed on the reservation requiring the establishment of quarantine and vaccination. Under this strew of work and worry there developed the need of surgical attention for himself arising in the first place from an ulcerated tooth. Just as his wife and daughter were being released from quarantine in Everett he has- tened to Seattle and submitted him- j self to an operation. He did not sur- , vivc The end coming at 12:30 a. m. Sunday at the Columbus sanitarium. Besides the wite and daughter there ; survive one brother, Edwin Buchanan, I and three sisters, Mrs. Henry Mil- burn, Mrs. Ella Kemp Jones and Mrs. Robert Alters, all of Washington, D. C. ... Bom In Vlrertnla. Charles Milton Buchanan was 1 born in Alexandria, a. ear Washington, D. C, October 11, 1868. His parents were James Buchanan and Mrs. Errrma (Eldred) Buchanan. Soon after finishing his medical education he moved to what proved to be his great field of work on Puget sound. The Indians in this part of the country are thoroughly familiar with the name of Buchanan. The Point Elliott (Muckilteo) treaty, by which they ceded all the lands from Seattle to the' British line, was signed on January 22, 1S55. but was not proclaimed until April 11, 1859, and was thus announced by President Buchanan. In 1SS9 Dr. Edwin Buchanan was transferred from the Grand Ronde reservation to be the physician at the Tulalip reservation. In 1894 this phvsician was succeeded by his nephew. Dr. Charles M. Buchana, who had remained there ever since. At first ho performed the duties of physician only, but as the government reduced the number of officers and employes in the Indian service, his duties were Increased until he became superintendent of the school and reservation at Tulalip and also of such other reservations on Puget sound as fiuquamish. Swinomish and Lurami. The hospital at Tulalip and the scattered sick continued to command his time and skill as a phys- sician, the schools received his careful supervision and the many other J duties made his life a full and stren- In the Tulalip Indian school he developed so much of a success at democratic or self-government that he was invited to Washington city to explain the work to agents asembled from many other reservations His work was so much appreciated that he was promoted to a position in the Haskell Institute at Lawrence, Kan. He did not remain there long. The Indian boys and girls at Tulalip wrote him pleading letters to come back. Their school was running down and they wanted him. His request to be returned was granted. Sawmill Was Operated. One of the oldest sawmills on Puget sound is the water power mill at Tulalip. Dr. Buchanaq, with hie skillful Indian colleague. William Ehelton, rebuilt the mill and made of it a fine element of industrial education as well as a source of materials for bridges, walks, fences and buildings. Many efforts were made to sell whisky to the Indians and to secure their lands. Dr. Buchanan fought all such. He organized courts with Indian judges and policemen who were very effective in most cases. When schemers sought to remove this champion of right from his post the Indian commissioner at Washington was shown bv many letters from prominent people that Dr. Buchanan's unselfish work was appreciated and ought not to be hindered by such plotters. , The most famous character in the memory of the Snohomish Indians is ithe missionary. Father Eugene.Cash- mir Chirouse. Dr. Buchanan greatly admired the character. When the Indian Sentinel, official organ of the Catholic Indian missions, proposed to issue a Chirouse number of the magazine Dr. Buchanan wrote most of the historical articles. Those articles are valuable for their substance and they overflow with appreciation of the unselfish services of the missionary' The editor of the magazine said: it will be noted that the most important articles of this issue have been, contributed by Dr. Charles M. Buchanan, United States Indian superintendent at Tulalip, Wash. The Indian Sentinel appreciates deeply this first contribution from an Indian superintendent. Dr. Buchanan is not a Catholic, but he has dealt out even-handed justice in the administration of Indian affairs in his jurisdiction. His articles prove him to be an unbiased thinker and Writer. Dr Buchanan was the author of many articles in magazines andnews- papers nearly all of them based on studies among the Indians. The Courier of Medicine, St. Louis, Mo., published his Medical Customs of Snohomish. Short stories published a number of Indian legends which lie had collected.

Mr Higgins declines to say what orders have been received for Mr. Chalcraft, who has been superintendent of the school for the last two or three years, though It Is definitely known that he, also, is to be transferred It Is probable t/at he will be reinstated this week and be sent to some other school in the Northwest territory. It has been known for some time that the commission of Indian affairs had made a decision to transfer both the superintendant and the secretary at Chemawa as a result ot the charges and countercharges filed at Washington against the two officials some months aSMr Campbell is yet undeoided what he will do, though it Is said lie will remove to Portland to make his permanent residence here. Mr Campbell, for several years before coming West, was connected ./1th the Carlisle Indian school and the reservation school at Sisseton, S. D., and is well-known among the officials ot the various Indian schools of the country. tarried a number of other articles by He was by far the most gifted student of the Snohomish language and ' customs. The Indians themselves .were surprised at his knowledge. They could not see how he acquired I so much. One of his early tutors was an Indian whom he had appointed a judge. David Te-Use tojd the doctor about a plant the Indfans had used for food. The doctor showed much interest. The Indian slipped away and returned in the evening with an armful of the plants. He had traveled 1 twenty-four miles. The doctor sat down and devoted hours that evening to the first lesson in botany for Te- Use. Other lessons followed and when the doctor went to visit the sick, Te-Use went along. His many questions were answered and he also answered questions from the doctor. That was one of the many ways in which the doctor accumulated folklore language and knowledge of his adapted people. The Tulapip Indian school is one or the.cleanest and best managed institutions of the kind in the United States. It is the .best mounment to Dr. Buchanan. A few years ago, in an evening reverie, (he doctor thought aloud: SVhen the end comes, if these people think of me as tenderly as they do of Father Chirouse, my life shall not have been in vain. Funeral services will, be held at Manning's undertaking parlors, Eleventh avenue and East Olive street Tuesday at 2 p. m. Dr. Buchanan's boyhood friend. Rev Edgar M. Rogers, of Everett, will 1 conduct the services. GIRLS' PRANKS CAUSE SERIOUS ACCIDENT' CHEMAWA, Or., Jan. 31. When the Chemawa Indian School lighting plant was compelled to shut down suddenly Monday night, the lights were turned off, and the girls under the head matron, Mrs. Thelsz, thought the darkness gave them a chance for some pranks and under its cover they pulled up the long strip of carpet which covers the polished floor of the building. As they did so Mrs. Theisz stepped on It and was thrown to the floor and broke her left arm and hand, and there was a scared lot of girls. Mrs. Thelsz is well advanced in years, so the accident is quite serious. She says that this is the fifth time she has had a broken arm or leg. 1 r INDIAN HAS GREAT OPERA VOICE Charlie Cutter, a Full-Blooded Alaska Red Man, Believed to Be Coming Singer.

The Chemaw band, under the direction of Mr, Larsen, has improved re- markably since the beginning of the school year. The regular band is com- of twenty-two performers. Band prac- tice is held twice a week, and individual lessons are given to each member. A second band of nineteen pieces has just been organized and each member is now taking individual lessons, and will have* regular hand practice as soon as they have advanced to the point where each can carry his part. They are progress- ing rapidly and the prospects are very favorable for their success, Mr. Larsen is repairing a number of the old band instruments for the use of the new hand. Eight new instruments have been ordered and are expected to arrive soon. Both hands are well gup. plied with music Mr, Larsen has pur- chased several pieces of new music for special occasions. The present system of individual lee. sons and the organizing of the new band has created a new spirit among some of the older members and they are putting forth extra effort at practice, knowing that it will soon lie n question of the survival of the fittest.

However, he set a fast pace, overtaking Dale, his opponent, and ran him to the ground, the latter collapsing when the first two milestones were passed. Dale was picked up and after four minutes continued his lap. Finley, the man stationed at the fifth lap, was brought ' hack from his station and took the message from the losing man; however, live minutes were lost. Even had this not occurred the Chemawa men would have lost, judging from the time, for the last man in was more than 11 minutes behind the- winner for the Y. Edmund Trelchel was to have run the seventh lap for the Y team, but his place was taken by A. R. Dorris, who managed to gain some on his part of the trip. This Is the first year that any of the Chemawa men have fallen, it being the white men that have collapsed in other years. Last year both teams were in excellent condition and neither had any men drop out. The time for other years is: 1907, 5 hours, 26 minutes; 1908, 5 hours, 16Va minutes; 1909, 5 hours, 31 minut ;s and 53 seconds; 1910, 6 hours, 17 minutes, and 1911 Is not exact, but was very slow. There was some talk, of protesting the race from Salem, because Barndol- lar dropped the message In the first lap. A man on a bicycle picked it up and caught him. Charles Larsen and Mr. Chalcraft said that it was perfectly fair and that no protest would be made. The men of both teams In the order of the laps were: Chemawa, Kiutus Jim, E. Grange, L. D , W.

For the first time since the inauguration of the event the Y. M. C. A. defeated tile Chemawa Indian school in the annual Salem to Portland relay race. The white runners finished the com minutes ahead of their dusky rivals. The association took the lead in the race from the start and gradually increased it from relay to relay until tho finish. Harry Barndollar of the association ran the first relay against Kiutus Jim of the Indian Training school and he finished the course about two minutes ahead of the redskin. The Indian was so exhausted after his vain effort to catch up with the white runner that he fainted. Jim was considered the pick of tho school at long distance running and the Indians were a little disheartened when he was so easily defeated by Barndollar. and this feeling increased as did the association's lead, when Tommy Booth, running the second relay for the association, gained another two minutes over William Mose, the second runner for the training school. Payton, the third runner for the Y. M. C. A., held his man 10 a tie. This is Payton's first year in the running and he was very nervous, but despite this fact he ran a very clever and gritty race. Gain in Fourth. Frank Yanderlip, an old time Indian scalper. , hung a few more minutes to the association's lead In the fourth relay by gaining rapidly on Edwarjd Threemountain. S'chwabauer, Kurtz and Paulson, of the association, each added a little more to the white cause and gave Jack Hartman a lead of about eight minutes to start the eighth relay. Jensvold gained i-till more in the ninth relay and to make a good climax, Captain Harry Tabb finished the last relay, running In beautiful style, with another gain of about four minutes. Tabb ended the race at the association with a wonderful three block sprint, making the total gain 13 minutes. t year the Chemawa school defeated tiie association runners by the same margin of 13 minutes. This is the longest time that has ever separated the two institutions at the finish, and Is also the first time that the association has ever been the victor. The first two laps of the race were made in 68 m.inutes and 15 seconds. This was several seconds better than any previous time and is considered little short of marvelous, as the roads were almost knee deep in mud for the most of arse. The distance of the first relay was U.2 miles and the second relay or 11.7 miles for the fir- I relays. Harry Barndollar made the fastest time of the race in the lirst which he covered in the remarkable time of 36 minutes. This Is the fa that the first lap of the race from the eapilol at Salem to the Chemawa i has even been run in. The time i- derful, owing t the condition of t - roads. Had Pine Team. The association had one of the be ii teams of long distance runners in the race that they have ever turned out, and some of them hold records from all over the United States and Canada, tain Tabb broke the world's record ov lt; r a five mile court, five years ago, when he ran the distance in a little over five minutes. Frank Vanderllp has been a member of three former teams in the annual race and he was a large time gainer in yesterday's race. Yanderlip a Canadian record for 10 miles that has not been lowered in fotn- years. Barndollar also has been in thres of the races and he has perhaps the most of the races and he was perhaps the most experienced runner on the I with the exception of Captain Tabb. Schwabauer and Kurtz were' both members of last year's team, and although they have not had the experience o? their teammates they both ran a fine race and each gained something on hi: man. Jack Hartman was a member o;' the 1909 team, which up to that time gave the Indians the hardest run. The redskins came in with a lead of nint minutes that year. Hartman has beer noted in the city and on the coast for his basketball playing. He has been on all the championship teams the association has ever turned out. Hartman ran a fine race yesterday, and like the rest of the runners, increased the association's lead materially. Indians Are Game. Five of the association's runners this year had been in former races, namely. Barndollar, Hartman, Yanderlip, Schwabauer and Kurtz. The time for the entire race yesterday although several minutes .slower than the record, is considered to have been the best race, and the former record of 5 hours and 14 minutes, made over tho same course last year, probably would have been broken had the roads been in proper shape for good running. The time for yesterday's race was 5 hours and 20 minutes. The race started from Salem yesterday morning at three*minutes after 10 and ended at the association at Sixth and Taylor streets at 23 minutes after 3. Mayor Simori, who was to have received the message which the runners carried from Governor West, was not on hand and it was given to H. W. Stone, general secretary of the local association and read to the crowd of Marathon enthusiasts which were crowded around the Y. M. C. A. building by the hundreds to see the finish of the great race. The Indians ran a game race but were simply outclassed from the start to the finish. The Indian runners were sadly disheartened after the third relay, which was the last course on which the redskin runner caught sight of the flying white runners. The teams in yesterday's race were, Y. M. C. A., Barndollar, Booth, Payton, Vanderlip, Schwabauer, Kurtz, Paulson, Hartman, Jensvold and Tabb. The Indian runners were Jim, ilosc, Dan, Threemountain, Alpheus, Purns, Powers, Pratt,; Jones and Demert.

Booth Is a Champion. Another who will throw dust in the face; mrigines Is Tommy Booth, who iKildM the Pacific coast Indoor record and the national T. M. C. A. record over the two-mile course. Those who Ikave watched him say that he can run five miles at almost the same clip as he does two miles. Booth was a member of Pittsburg Athletic club last season, comli ortland last winter. He went the two miles in 10:17. Hurry Barndollar is another eastern distance runner, being one of the stars of the Boston und other New England athjetlo clubs. He Is a strong, fast runner and almost the equal of the other two over the five mile course. Vanderllp is an old Canadian runner Who took part in Hie races during the winter. He was formerly a member of the Chlce tation Athletic club and Is a dangerous man up to five miles. Then In nddition to these boys there tir-' tho well known local distancers, Clarice Thompson, winner of the preliminary trial run of about five miles, which was held a week ago Saturday afternoon. Thompson finished the event ever three minutes ahead of the others.

Indian School Officer Badly Hurt in Crash CHEMAWA, Oct. 17 Charles E Larsen, disbursing officer at the. Salem Indian school, suffered a multiple, fractured left arm Saturday afternoon as a result of the automobile which be -was driving In accompanying a number of officials of the Indian Bureau from Washington, D. C. to Siletz, Oregon, overturning near Burntwood, some distance west of Corvallls. Mr. Larsen was moved to the general hospital in Corvallls, being semi-conscious following the accident as a result of the shock and loss of blood. His arm was so badly broken, it is doubtful at this time whether it can be saved without amputation. Mr. Larsen has been a loyal and efficient employee In the Indian service for some 20 years, and his many friends will be grieved to learn of this serious accw dent. / Charles E. Larsen Returns to Chemawa CHEMAWA, Jan. 1 The many friends of Charles E. Larsen, chief clerk at the Chemawa school office, rejoice with his family In the fact that he has been discharged from the Corvallls hoB- pltal and Is now at home here. About two months ago Mr. Larsen suffered the loss of his left arm, the necessity for amputation of same being caused when the automobile driven by him overturned near Burntwoods, Oregon. Since then Mr. Larsen has been confined in the Corvallls hospital. ,uth 31,1 ('has. Larsen and bride have visiting his sister, .Mrs. B. G.

They were married July 8. 1 r ff Indian Students Rehearsing For Colorful Pageant Set On Tuesday and Wednesday With the termination of classes Thursday, all efforts were being directed toward rehearsals for the fifth annual pageant to be staged on the campus of the Chemawa Indian school, Tuesday and Wednesday. This production, As the Red Man Lived, will be the result of a year's study by the home room classes of the school. Divided into two large groups, the Pacific coast group will include Indian students from the tribes of northern California and southern Oregon, Quinaielts and Tulalips, Yakimas and the Col- villes, who will perform the first night. The Nez Perce, Umatillas and northern Idaho, Blackfeet, Crows, Cros Ventres and Assini- boine Sioux and the Shoshones will close the show Wednesday. In addition to the regular performance there will be dances put on by outside Indians each night starting at 7:30. One of the outstanding features of the celebration will be the Indian exhibit in the Catholic church building. Some of the costumes worn in the pageant will be on display at this time, as will be many articles of handicraft, direct from the reservations. These valuable items are not usually placed for the public to see. In charge of the exhibit Mill be Charles E. Larsen, senior clerk at the school. Larsen is an authority bn Indian culture and he promises the best exhibit in the history of the pageants. Valuable assistance from outstanding authorities on Indian culture has enabled the committees and individuals responsible for the production to write a story which will be authentic in every possible detail. Tiie life of the Indian before the coming of the white man from the east will be portrayed by the students taking part. The underlying theme will be that of a young brave of the northern California group who has a vision. He is instructed to seek his vision in the far lands with which he is unfamiliar, but being young, and endeavoring to make his place in the eyes of his fellow men, is undaunted by the perils which he knows he must face. He travels north along the Pacific coast where he attends the First Salmon ceremony among the Quinaielts and the Potlatch celebration of the Tulalips. After resting he travels over the Cascades to the Yakimas where he witnesses the annual root feast pf that tribe. During his short tay with this tribe he sees his irst horse, watches and learns the rt or tanning hides, wonders at ihe construction of the long house. From here he travels north and east to the Colvifte country and is brought in by two hunters. He is just in time to take part in the burial of an old member of that tribe. Before he leaves he is present at a wedding. Next, his travels lead him to the land of the Plains Indians. During his stay he sees the medicine man of the Nez Perce perform, listens to the legends of the First .Wj: :.... ' the Blackfeet, and the Peace Pipe of the Gros Ventre, takes part in the sun dance of the Crows, and with the aid of the Great Spirit from a lofty peak in the Tetons he finds that he has completed his journey and has found his vision. His vision Is that of an Indian girl leading a group of men with pale faces from the land of the rising sun to the land of the setting sun, Sacajawea of the Shoshone tribe, guiding the Lewis and Clark expedition which eventually brought colonization of the west. The Chemawa glee club will entertain between acts with typical Indian songs and a few modern versions of the same. There will be individual numbers from some of the outstanding students on the campus. The pageant will be given completely in pantomime and interpreted by a reader.

Courtship of Chemawa School Superintendent Was Kept Strict Secret to the Last. Telegram Coast Special. 1 1 i jr., Aug. 24. Assistant ntendent W. P. Campbell, of the iwa Indian School, yesterday re- I a letter from San Francisco in which the particulars of Superintendent T. W. Potter's marriage to one of the Indian pupils were given. As reported, the superintendent and Mary J. Smith, a quarter-blood Wintone Indian girl, were married at Redding, Cal., Thursday. The couple are now in San Francisco, where will remain until tomorrow, when they will leave for Albany, Colo., where Superintendent Potter has a ranch. employes of the school think about the marriage the more surprised they are. No one at the school had the slightest idea that the superin- n t would take a second wife. The courtship was quiet. The only times when the superintendent had an opportunity to speak to his bride was at the Beml-weeVtly dances held at the school for the pupils, which Potter attended as regularly as they were held. A fev.- days before he left Chemawa Potter stated tbat he wanted to marry a young girl. The employes to whom he thought he was jesting. No one took him seriously. The only one at the school who was aware of the coming marriage was the brother of the bride, James Smith. According to his statements the couple had been engaged for some time and were only waiting a favorable opportunity to marry. Mrs Potter did not leave Chemawa with Potter. She was sent to Redding time In advance. The auperlntend- l up his bride on the way to The plan had been fully matu considered a Good Catch. ' the marringe was announced the v /lorlties at the school have been del- Potter in Salem did not credit the report. They knew how unfortunately his former marriage to an Indian girl had terminated, and local gossip had connected the dashing superintendent's name with more than one young lady in this vicinity. He was regarded locally as a good catch. How Potter happened to single out Mary J. Smith as the Mrs. Potter-to-be is not known. The flame of love must have been an old one, as Miss Smith had been at Chemawa as a pupil a good many years. When she first came here she was a very small girl In short dresses. She was never considered.a particularly star pupil. Yet she was not a little above the average Indian girl at the school. Now that It is all over, the employes think Potter was in love with his bride a long while ago. For the past two years he has been in the habit of appointing her to fill any temporary positions that might be vacant. He has favored her in this and other ways. His actions were attributed to kindness not to love. Has Land Near El Reno. Superintendent Potter is not a poor man. He has extensive business interests outside of the Government service. In Oklahoma he haa 100 acres of land adjoining the town of El Reno. This has just recently been awarded him by the United States Supreme Court after litigation ever since 1S89. Besides this. Potter has a ranch in Colorado and an interest in the J. K. Gill bookstore in Belllngham. One of his reasons for leaving the Indian service was that he might be able to devote more of his time to his business Interests. So far Potter has sent no word regarding his little 9-year-uld son The young at present at Newport with one of the teachers. It is not known whether Potter will keep the young man with him or send him to his former wife, who, it is reported, wants him. uged with Inquiries. Those who knew Superintendent Potter, of Chemawa, Marries a Pupil. I i CEREMONY IS IN CALIFORNIA ; Bride a Charming Young Woman Not Yet Out of Her Teens Groom Veteran in Government Indian Service. CHEMAWA, Or., Aug. 20. (Special.) Word was received here today that Superintendent T. W. Potter, of the Indian Training School here, was married at Redding, Cal., Thursday, to Miss Mary J. Smith, a pupil in the school since 1895. The announcement occasioned great surprise, as neither teachers nor pupils were aware of the romance progressing under their very eyes. The ceremony took place in a parsonage at Redding, which is the nearest railroad station to the bride's old home. The bride was given away by her i brother, James Smith, who is an employe at the Chemawa school. Her sister, Alice attended her as bridesmaid, and the young woman's mother and step-father were witnesses.

O'NEILL YANK Staff Correspondent Northern Iran There's a Persian Gulf Command rest camp perched on top of a mountain here a sort of poor man's version of a spot in the Adirondacks. But it's cool and it was picked as a place to give relief to dusty, sun-drunk truckers and railroaders and longshoremen who come up from the 175-degree weather below Not far from the camp is a village of about 600 Kurd tribesmen. They are a quiet, suspicious bunch of people, caught in the backwash of civilization and living now as their people have done for centuries. The Kurds have little use for the outside world, let alone for the wild gang of GIs who ride hell-for-leather through their village an Arabian ponies. But there was one GI at the rest camp whom the Kurds came to consider as a sort of patron saint. This GI was Sgt. Julian Smith, an Indian from the Sioux reservation near Poplar, Mont. Like ilmost every other Indian in the Army, he was mown as the Chief. He was riding master at the :amp. with 10 Arabian ponies under his care. The Chief stabled his horses in a dingy barn on the outskirts of the village. His caretaker was an gt;ld man of the Kurd tribe who spoke a little English For a long while he was the only tribes- nan Smith knew, and in time they became riends. The old man had trachoma, a bad case of it. tnd his nearly blind eyes were rheumy and al- nost hidden by layers of crusty scabs. One morn- ng the Chief brought his first-aid kit to the stable. It was a standard company medical kit used o patch up the inevitable cuts that happened vhen a GI and his pony didn't quite agree Sgt. Smith took out a few cotton swabs, some nercuric acid and a bottle of argyrol. He pointed o the old man's eyes and said, Come here. The Curd put up an argument but possibly because le was afraid he might lose his job gave in. The Chief washed out the eyes with argyrol md flushed them with mercuric acid. In a week he eyes were visible behind the scabs and after hree weeks of bathing the scabs were gone. One day the caretaker arrived with two othei villagers. He pointed to then eyes, also infected by trachoma. The Chief treated them A little later there came a villager with his daughter and her 8-year-old child The kids legs had been badly scalded and now the left one was covered with jellylike scabs a quarter-inch thick. Some dirty substance had been rubbed over them. What did you put on her legs? the Chief asked the mother, using the old man as an interpreter. She said she had taken her child to a village healer known only as the Woman, who had treated the legs first. In earthy Montana English, the Chief spent five minutes cursing. Then he went to work, peeling off the scabs and massaging the raw flesh with tannic acid jelly. He had the mother bring the child back two days later, and then he spread 10-percent sulfa powder over the legs. The girl had developed a fever. The Chief went back to camp, bought some fruit juice from the PX and stole a can opener He gave the fruit juice and some aspirin to the mother and then spoke to the old man.

The Chief kept sprinkling them with sulfa powder. In three weeks they were healed. Then came the avalanche. The story of the child had been whispered around the village, and soon the Chief had a line in front of his stable as long as the one before a battalion dispensary on the eve of maneuvers. He treated them all. He chiseled condensed milk from a cook in ex. change for an extra ride on one of the ponies and fed the milk to kids with stomachs bound up from an indigestible diet. He requisitioned so much medical stuff from the dispensary that the docs began to think the vacationing GIs wen riding dragons instead of horses By this time the Chief was beginning to pick up a few words of the Kurd language but, as he puts it, I really didn't need much of it. The peo pie in that village were like my own people back on the Fort Peck reservation. They had the same ailments, suspicions, simplicity and poverty Seems all poor people talk the same language . Sgt. Smith was born on a Sioux reservation. He went to Chemawa, a boarding school for destitute Indians, and played a lot of football there Later he won an athletic scholarship to Willamette University at Salem, Oreg.. where he majored in English and played varsity football and baseball. In his junior year his father died. Smith quit school. His family needed money much more than an educated son. He went back to the reservation and found that his father's death could , have been easily forestalled; he had refused medical aid Same old story as with these Kurds. He was afraid of something new. But the tribesmen were becoming less and less afraid of something new. When the long lines began to form in front of the Chiefs stable, opposition developed. The Woman started raising hell and the head tribesman, one Mamat Bey. was ready to kick the Chief off the premises. . Just about that time the Chief and a bunch of GIs were riding through the hills one day when they found an unconscious native kid on the side of the road; a pony stood nearby. The kid was bleeding from a jagged hole an inch wide on the left side of his nose, and a bloody branch of a tree was jutting from the hole They carried the kid back to the stable and the Chief, after removing the branch, found that it had speared through to the child's mouth. He bathed the wound with hot water and packed it with sulfa powder. The old man informed him that the child was a nephew of Mamat Bey. When the kid became conscious, the Chief carried him home. Next morning Mamat Bey, with the boy, was at the head of the stable dispensary line. He said nothing, but grinned while the Chief dressed his little nephew's wound Two days later Mamat Bey paid an official visit with his tribal council. He talked too fast for the Chief to understand, but when all the speech making was finished they escorted the Chief to a vineyard. It's all yours. said the old caretaker. The Chief grinned and said Thanks.' Mamat Bey grinned and said Okay. Johnee. It was the only English he knew. When the Chief had to leave the rest camp for good a little later, he gave back the vineyard with the practical comment: Can't take it with me in a B-bag. Sgt. Smith's popularity with the Kurds had reached the attention of headquarters, and he had been ordered to Teheran as athletic adviser to the Iran Military Academy, the Persian West Point The day before his departure he was invited to Mamat Bey's house. A dinner was given in his honor and Persian music was played on an ancient victrola. Then the Chief was led outside where most of the village was gathered. They took off their hats and faced Mecca. The Chief took off his fatigue hat and faced Mecca. As the villagers prayed, the old caretakei translated: May Allah take you safely on your journey in the thundering wagon. May Allah always be your friend and may He someday bring you back to your friends in this village.' Indian Tepee to Iran Palace Army Saga of Salem Student By C. K. Logan Many are the sagas that have been written of the present world conflict, are being written and will be written in the future, but few present a more remarkable combination of circumstances than that of the *: Montana reservation-born In dian who attended the Salem Indian school at Chemawa, starred in athletics at Willamette university and was personally presented to the King of Iran, formerly Persia. Popularity gained on the campus here evidently extended to foreign lands and he became the favorite of a village of 600 Kurd tribesmen, a quiet but suspicious bunch of people who are now living as their people have done for centuries. By this clannish group he was regarded as a patron saint and presented a vineyard, which he later returned with the practical comment, I can't take it with me in a B-bag. This is the story of Sergeant Julian (Buck) Smith, known to his comrades in arms as 'Chief. Factual information is obtained from letters home and through informa'on furnished by Cpl.

The Chief, who is from the Sioux reservation near Popular, Mont., explains It this way: I really didn't need much of the language. The people in that village were like my own people back on the Fort Peck reservation. They had assignment to the Persian military academy to assist in the physical education program. The academy, he writes home, is the Persian West Point, and graduates become officers of the Iranian army. Under date of May 2, Sgt. Smith writes home that he is to be formally introduced to the King of Iran for services rendered at the academy. He writes that maybe they will give me some sort of token that I can keep as a momento of the time spent there.

Smith tells of the presentation, on behalf of the personnel of the military academy in appreciation of his work from November, 1943, through March, 1944. The presentation, writes Sgt. Smith, took place in the following manner: I was the first in line of approximately 30 people. The King was standing by a small table about 4 ft. by 4 ft., and it was covered with watches, vases and silvef cups. He was in a military uniform color: tan and heavily embroidered with gold thread. An aide to the King called my name and I stepped up to the King, gave him a good, old-fashioned GI salute, received my silver vase, shook hands, looked each other in the eye for a minute, stepped* back a pace, gave each other a snappy salute and then I went back to my spot. In tha stands behind the King were seated his court. Ahead of them were the high-ranking officers of the soldiers foreign to this country. English, Russ, and our American General and his staff. Our Gen. is General Donald H. Connelly. Sgt. Smith concludes his description of the ceremony with the notation that this is the second time he had met the King, and it is regarded as the highest honor that the Persian people can bestow. In reminiscent mood, Sgt. Smith says that he has seen a lotta water if nothing else. He has passed along the shores of Salt Lake, the Great Lakes and has seen the Caspean sea, Mediterranean sea, Red sea, Dead sea (twice), Gulf of Persia, Gulf of Oman, Gulf of Aden, Caribbean sea, Atlantic ocean, Antarctic ocean, Indian ocean, Arabian sea, Salton sea in California and the Gulf of Capital Journal, Salem.

New York. Some Indian Legends By OLIVE BRUNSON Of Siletz t.jHE boo gey man will get ' you'' threatens the white mother. The Indian mother has the boogeyman's counterpart in the Whistle Man or Night Man and brave indeed is the Indian child who will venture far from home, after dark. The older Indians believe Lrj the existence of the Whistle Man and both Coquille Thompson, aged Siletz Indian, and his wife say they have heard his eerie whistle which comes at night, and is followed either by the sudden death or the lingering death to his victim. It is an awful sound, they say, and there is no way in the world to keep the whistle Man out, for he can pass right through a solid wall Mrs. Thompson says she .iusi pulled the covers over her head, and shivered with fright. One never knows who the Whistle Man may be. It might be one's next door neighbor, or most anyone else. It seems a Whistle Man after he gets the power, sends his evil soul or inner self out to do his haunting while his body sleeps peacefully at home. It's a shadowy form that cannot be hurt by either gun or arrow but it is an entirely separate entity from a ghost, however. One who desires to become a Whistle Man, and it may be man or woman, first finds a bone from the graveyard, and in the bone lies his power or gift of evil. The Whistle Man never brings his power into his own home lest it harm him, but always ludes it outdoors. If anyone should find and destroy the bone the Whistle Man's power would be gone. To become a Whistle Man one must go up on a high mountain and practice jumping, running and acquiring the whistle. Sometimes it is a lengthy process, but sooner or later the powers of evil i e him the gift of the Whistle Man's power. LIGHT IS STRONG Some strong light surrounds the man who gets the power. He has the power to travel a hundred miles in a night and he has the power to fly like a bird. In fact, if he wants some substance ' to his shadowy body he can change himself to a bird or an animal. Once there was a man named Joshua, according to an old tale, who came from California, and who bought a place at Siletz. An Indian named Medford Charley was a Whistle Man. John, a third Indian, was a good man who minded his own business. The eeling season was on and the Indians were catching their winter's supply for drying and storing away just as they do today. John was lucky one night and brought in a very large catch. Medford Charley and Joshua warned him that they were going to steal the eels unless John divided his catch with them. He refused and went home. In the night John heard an owl hooting near the barn, then from ither point he heard another. The hooting kept up till he seized his gun and went after the bird. When a Whistle Man assumes a tangible shape he can also be killed and this is what the two men must have forgotten. The plan was for Joshua to keep John busy chasing him while Medford Charley'stole the eels. John shot the owl out of the tree and went back to bed. This was in the dark of the moon. In the morning someone sow bloody tracks leading from the tree and found Joshua nearly dead. He was taken to the diau agency where he died at naon, never accusing John, who had only .11 owl, so the man's death is still an unsolved mysterj Another man and woman were clams. They had left their baby in it.'s little guyoo, or cradle basket, where Hie water could not reach it. Suddenly they heard the awful whistle Then came the cries of the babj and they hurried back to find the Whistle Man had tossed the baby, basket and all, onto tin- bonfire they had built to keep it warm. The sudden death the Whistle Man deals is like a heart attack or epileptic fit and the slow death much like cancel verj torturous and lingei There is nothing nice, the Indians agree, Bboul a Man. 12 rrijou jfmtrtttd SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 1946 . niHiilt SFTj Salmon Feast of the Indians The Indian summer assembly of veritable tribesmen at Depoe Bay and Government point recently, as guests of the North Lincoln County Chamber of Commerce, restored but imperfectly a past that can never be re-enacted. Pray understand that no word of this is in criticism of a laudable purpose and gathering but the glory, i ii such it was, of the old tribes is gone. Their j hosts provided them, or rather their remnants, with the salmon they roasted over the pits of yesterday. Indian gear, the net that was woven of native fibers, the spear that was shaped of a fire-sharpened spruce root, the canoes that once put out to sea after salmon, fishing with floats of woven rushes, these had no part in the provisioning. The very craftsmanship of them was forgotten. They tried their skill at archery, these grandchildren of an ancient people, but they had quite forgotten how to bend a bow and speed an arrow to its target. In those parts at intervals beside the highway, for the seaward cliffs have held great provision of shellfish these long centuries, are the shell ; mounds or mussel middens enormous deposits ', of ancient shell to testify to a time when the . people came to that place on their lawful occasions and feasted beside the sea. And this cannot be authentically restored. The people have for- gotten that the coyote possessed supernatural powers, and that often he played pranks on the j tribesmen, or rendered them aid. They have for- j gotten that grandfather bear is in tribal legend, well nigh religious, a near kinsman of theirs who must not be molested. No longer do they hunt the seal in the ocean caves, and follow the stricken quarry into the green waves outside. There are many, many things the people have forgotten how to do, and in compensation, if you will call it so, they have learned to drive automobiles. Still this late pageant at Government point, just south of Boiler bay. was a veritable assemblage of the original proprietors, and happily bethought. From some such cliff their ancestors saw the first ship offshore, and marveled at it for a giant sea bird. In their returning, their homecoming to the ancient rendezvous, there is such interest and sympathy, and so much of happiness, too, as cause the occasion to be warranted beyond many more widely publicized events of holidaj aaiaaM Josiah J.

It was Indian summer with a vengeance, warmest of the year, Sunday afternoon for the closing features of the Government Point three-day potlatch put on for Indians of the Northwest by the North Lincoln Chamber of Commerce. All available space for parking was in use. Cars kept moving in and out as the Indians partook of the feast, put on their dances and engaged in contests. The crowd of tribesmen was estimated at 300, two-thirds of whom were from Siletz. Head man of these was Archie Ben, who brought 20 dancers in costume. Fifty came from Grand Ronde under leadership of Edgar Simmons. The dance program was given on the level space on the point next to ocean breakers. The four dances were announced as a religious dance, Sweet Home, Rogue River and Round the last being a dance around the circle with fast movement. Mrs. Minnie Lane, 74, and Mrs. Martha Johnson, nearly 100 saying I'm too old to remember finished with the younger dancers and seemed to enjoy it as much. These are both of the Chetco tribe, moved to Siletz by the government in 1856. Few of the contestants with bow and arrow hit the target, and the crowd remarked the passing of archery as an Indian art. Prizes were given those whose arrows went less wild. Indians are already planning for next Indian summer. The white leaders' in Indian service approved the fete, and the sponsoring body on the coast is well pleased with the affair.
