34 THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Our baseball boys crossed bats with the U. of 0. team on Monday, April 12, on the home field. We were beaten in a score of 14 to 0. Mr. Brace purchased all of the house-furnishings of Mr. Cooper, on the departure of the latter, and will soon be thoroughly settled in the cottage formerly occupied by Mr. .Cooper and family. Since our last issue Mr. Charles Shaffer visited Chemawa for a day or so while enroute from Toppenish, Wash., to Round Valley, Calif., going to the latter place on transfer. While here he was the guest of Mrs. Brewer and family. He is a very prepossessing young man and will win friends wherever he goes. Mr. Mordaunt Goodnough, the virtuoso pianist and teacher of Port land, continues to make his semi-monthly trips to Chemawa. The fact that he is appreciated by our people is attested by the healthy growth of his class. Mr. Goodnough, while still a young man, has already won recognition for himself and his art from the higest authorities and we are proud to have his abilities available for us in our efforts for advance ment. Mrs. I,oos, the Industrial Art teacher, is busily engaged in teaching the fifth and sixth grade girls embroidering. They are making useful articles necessary for the home. The girls are interested in their work and are improving rapidly, making towels, table clothes, dresser scarfs, lunch cloths, center-pieces, doilies, aprons, handkerchiefs, sheets, pil low cases, and trimming them in different kinds of crochet, tatting, and needle work. The work is of great value to us and we appreciate the opportunity given us. Alice Kkely. Easter Sunday was free from rain and no Easter bonnets were ruined. The day was not ideal, but it was not bad. A special feature of our Easter was a lecture in the afternoon by Mr. R. Kennedy. The sub ject was "The Eyes of The World." It was an absorbing topic and wras treated in a masterly style. It proved of unusul interest as given by Mr. Kennedy and every-one was enthusiastic over it. In the even ing a very able sermon was preached by Rev. Carl H. Elliott of Salem. There was special Easter music for the services. Acting under orders from Cato Sells, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, Government Agents, directed by Henry A. Larson, Chief Special Officer for the Suppression of the Liquor Traffic among Indians, seized the Bemidji Brewery and emptied great vats containing' seven car loads of beer into the streets. The beer, valued at forty-five hundred dollars, flowed down the gutters and into the lake. Men in rubber boots waded in beer one foot deep in the Brewery floors, while policemen kept the crowd back. The beer was confiscated because of the failure of the Brewery Company to comply with the Chippewa Treaty of 1855 as re cently construed by the. Supreme Court of the United States.
