THE CHEM AW A A M E R IC A N 35 Not lo"S ago Supt. Wadsworth had business which took him to arshfield, Or. He was a member of the party of excursionists who ratlro ,d r,U",h° Southern OreK°" city on the completion of the railroad into that section. While Supervisor Peaks, and Mr. Coon, his assistant, were at Ghe nt a wa the string quartet played for them in the Auditorium one even ing. After the conceit all repaired to the home of Supt. and Mrs. M adsworth where a pleasant hour or two was passed, during which tune most delicious refreshments were served. Portiand<l? i rS' He° J ' Fraehtenber® recently ”«>ved from Chemawa to Portland, where they are most pleasantly domiciled, according to re ports to reach us. During his residence in Chemawa Dr. Frachtenberg proved himself a most able and capable man in many ways and made many friends who wish him well in his new environment. Supervisor H. B. Peairs and assistant, Mr. W. W. Coon, recently silent some tune at Chemawa, devoting themselves to the task of mak ing out courses etc., for the coming series of Summer Institutes for Indian Service Employes.

The work of Mr. Loos with lese little fellows surprised every-one in attendance. It was little short of marvelous. Their style, tone, and attack, would he a cred to many older organizations and older players. "A Day at Chemawa'' was a scream, and Archie Freestone as a bread-maker was the last \i hoop. All ,1, all, the entertainment was a big success. It took a lot of work on tile part of Mr. Loos and his boys, hut it was worth i, All of the music was written by Mr. Loos especially for the boys and is particular show. He did well, mighty well, and deserves great crealit It conditions warrant, he has some little fellows in his small boys band who will some day be heard from in good shape. Georgie Barrett, who ,s not a member of the band, but of the same you,hf d age as others who took part, played a couple of violin solos most ac- ceptahly. His accompaniments were artistically played by Miss Brewer.
