THE
CHEMAWA
AMERICAN
At the time of going to press the girls of the Nonpariel Literary So
ciety were making preparations for a party on April 11. To Judge
from preparations in progress this event promised to make history as a
social function.
Supervisor H. G. Wilson of Roseburg was a Chemawa visitor for a
few hours on April 10th. Mr. Wilson was in Washington, D. C., re
cently on government business. He says that everything is moving
along nicely with him.
On June 1st, 1914, there will be a public sale of Indian lands lying
in Oregon and Northern California. Those interested in the same
should communicate with Supt. Horace G. Wilson, of Roseburg, Ore
gon, for any information they desire.
We thank the Review of the Sacramento (Calif.) High School for the
very complimentary notice given us in their last issue, as follows: “ You
are the neatest and best appearing magazine that has come to us this
year, Chemawa American. Your jokes are surely well selected. We
are glad to have you with us again.”
On the evening of April 4th Mr. Charles Riley McCalley, reader and
violinist, gave an entertainment here. Miss Gertrude Brewer was the
assisting pianist and accompanied in her usual splendid style. Miss
Louise DesChamp sang a very pleasing vocal number and Ruthyn Tur
ney played a double bass solo. There was a good-sized audience in the
Auditorium and the entertainment, which was clean and pleasing, was
enjoyed by all.
Judge Cato Sells will be given strong support in his stand against
liquor in the Indian Service. Just recently Hon. Joseph H. Choate
sent the following nice note to Judge Sells: I thank you very much
for sending me a copy of your letter ‘To all Employes in the Service.’
You are absolutely right in your position that if we can save the Amer
ican Indian from the curse of whiskey we can save him from pretty
much all the other ills that threaten him.
Superintendent Wadsworth is in receipt of the following letter from
Paul Unges, of Tacoma, Wash.: I wish to congratulate you on the
success of your school as an institution for boys. It was my good for
tune to work with a number of them at Salem, and to become acquaint
ed with four of them, among whom were Peter Alpheus and Nick Or-
loff, who are still at the School. Seldom in my life have 1 met such
good friends—never better ones—nor have I ever known a better be
haved crowd of boys. So much equanimity and fellowship among
them. God bless you, your work, and the boys. Indeed they might
be a model for any high school in the country.
