20 THE CHEM AW A AM ERICAN Great changes and improvements are in contemplation and under way at the power plant. Big engines, dynamos, etc., are soon to be in stalled, the boilers to be overhauled and repaired, and many other fea tures added for the betterment of everything. Work at sinking new wells has been in progress for some time and it is hoped that they will soon be spouting water. On July 8, Mr. Chas. E. Larsen and Miss Myrtle Loughery were quiet ly married at Marysville, Wash. A part of their honeymoon was pass ed in attendance of the institute atChemawa. Mr Larsen is a former Chemawa boy and has a host of friends here who are always glad to hear of his successes and who take pleasure in greeting him. During the vis it here his bride endeared herself to all by her gracious affability. \\ e all enjoyed their visit. At present they are in service at Tulalip, Wash. A special congressional appropriation of $10,000 has enabled us tore- model and enlarge our auditorium. The present seating capacity is about 500, which is entirely inadequate, When the proposed changes in the structure are completed Supt. Wadsworth assures us that 900 may l)e seated comfortably and every seat will be a choice one. This will give our auditorium a seating capacity easily equal that of the Grand Opera House in Salem. It will be just what we need greatly. Special attention will be given the stage, dressing rooms, orchestra room, and or chestra pit. The lighting and heating of the building will be given due attention, as, also, will the matter of ventilation. It will be a source of pride to all of us, from Supt. Wadsworth down. Work is just starting on the changes and it is thought that two or three months will elapse ere it is completed. From an Alaskan paper we glean the following’announcement of the wedding of Miss Sallie Beyers and Joseph Anderson: “ Saturday eve ning, June 27, witnessed the first wedding ceremony of the Port Wells district. Golden had never before harbored so many ships at anchor. All day long the launches, and dories, and bidarkis were coming in, and by 8 o’clock there were between fifty and one hundred men, and even a few women, to attend the big function. The happy bride, Miss Sallie Beyers, was prettily gowned in white, and the fortunate groom, Joe Anderson, looked proud indeed. The bride’s father, Bill Beyers, one of the first pioneers of Prince William Sound, gave the bride away. The Rev. W. H. Ziegler performed the ceremony. Martin Anderson and Bill Beyers spread themselves generously for refreshments of many kinds and all enjoyed the happy occasion to the utmost. It was late before the guests were through toasting and congratulating the young couple.” The bride was for many years a student at Chemawa and has many friends here who wish her all the joys of life.
