Declares DECLARES UNSUBSTANTIATED INDIAN TALE WRONG LOCATION TO FIRST FOURTH OF JULY HERE 3, Ezra Meeker rises to -declare to Thurston county pioneers that a great mistake is being made in the-location of the observance of the first Fourth of July on the Pacific Coast or west of the Missouri river. He has evi- dence to correct the mistake. which he declares has been the result of an unsubstantiated old Indian tale. In a letter to the Recorder he has set forth his case as follows: Daily Recorder: On a hy?road about three miles northeasterly from old Fort Nisguslly there stands a fine granite monument inscribed as follows: lSil?Fourth of July?1906. ?Commemorating the .6th anniver- sary of the first public observance of our national birthday on the Pacific coast? or west of the Missouri river, by Captain Charles \Vilkes.

The foregoing inscription on the monument discloses the object, the date and the parties to the planting and dedication of the same. A brief history of events prompting this action will suffice. July 5th (the fourth falling on Sun- day) 1841, Capt. \Vilkes, of the fur- famed United 5 tes Exploring expe- ditibn. landed his ship's 'crew on the waterfront of the then existing Fort Nisqually.

There were many In; disns in and about Port Discovery in those days. About every five years the Indians gave a big potlatch when they gave away all their pos~ sessions. Gaston says they had a potlatch house 250, feet long made out of poles and covered with cedar bark. Many Indians The Indians came by the thousands from all over British Columbia and from the for north to attend the pot- latch. Tile Hydah Indians were a strong hardy race from the far north who were called King George Indians. At ?the potlatch an immense barbecue was held at. which the Indians gave away their blankets and canoes, and other possessions. Ono potiatch was held while Gaston was in that coun- try.

RUSS TELL UISMLL TALES LIE BLILSHEMK MILE (By Aschod Press) REVAL. Esthonia, July l?Those who have the idea that Bolshevik newspapers printed in Russia say only rosy things about the country could quickly be disillusioned by perusal of the papers themselves During the past four months, the principal Mos- cow and Petrograd newspapers have been startlingly frank about some of the conditions that Communism has produced. The Moscow Economic Life not long ago wrote the following description of conditions on one of the Commun- Ist ?model" farms: ?The farm presented a picture of complete desolation. For years there hava?beea no repairs. indows are broken. walls are falling and some of the buildings are in ruins. ?'orkers live in terrible. dirty rooms, black from smoke. In one of the rooms there lives a. calf, placed there by the fore- man despite protests of woman ten- ants. ?There are neither pota oes nor vegetables for the workers, In the summer no one be bothered to store them. People are rvir'lg. cattle are starving. In the farm there are 32 persons. of? these six are officials." The old program of the Bolshevik government called for an increase in the number of these ?model? farms.
