Dr. Sisco is now giving toxin-antitoxin to those who proved susceptible to diptheria. Mrs. Durkes, one of our matrons, went to Portland last Thursday on a business trip. Miss Elizabeth Shagin, now employed in Portland, was a visitor on the grounds last Sunday. Despite the old saw about “seven rainy Sundays” if it rains on Easter, last Sunday was ideal. The blacksmiths have just completed the task of mak ing 115 iron towel racks for use in Brewer Hall. Mr. and Mrs. Mason motored to Portland last Sun day, taking with them Mrs. Brewer and her grand daughters. Mr. Ross reported himself highly pleased with the new porch and steps recently built at his residence by Fred Grinnell. Mr. Larsen motored across the country to the shores of the Pacific Ocean last Sunday, taking a number of friends with him. After about three weeks in our machine shop our tractor was commissioned again and started for the field to work last Friday morning. Owing to an operation for appendicitis, Dr. Craig, who has been our visiting dentist for some time, will not be here again for a while. Bandmaster VosBurgh and his boys have given us a number ot impromptu concerts recently which have been greatly appreciated by all. Dr. Sisco was a speaker yesterday before the Rose burg Woman’s Club on matters of health. Mr. Vos Burgh accompanied the Doctor. On Saturday evening the three Chemawa Girl Re serve Clubs will present their fifth annual open program in the auditorium at 7:30 o’clock. Last week Miss Burrell gave a birthday party in honor of Mrs. Mayne. Games, refreshments and an alto gether “good time” was reported. Just recently Miss Black and her Campfire Girls hiked to Hazel Green where a fine time resulted for all. Boating, lunching and other features made the trip memorable. There is already consideration of graduation gowns in the minds of our senior class girls. They are not alone just “considering,” but many are already at work. Many fine gowns will be the result. Mr. Ross, our landscape gardener, is now piloting a fine new gas lawn mower about our campus. This is a new acquisition and it is much appreciated. It cuts a swarth a little more than three feet wide. One evening last week Mrs. Mason and Mrs. Downie joined forces at the former’s home and gave a party, at which they entertained not only local people but people in Salem who formerly resided in Chemawa. REORGANIZING THE INDIAN BUREAU (Continued from page 1) not yet been appointed. Director of Irrigation is Maj. William S. Post, who is the most recent of the newcomers to the Indian Ser vice. Major Post was appointed on January 20 of this year and is well known in the field of hydraulic en gineering in the Pacific Coast States. He was also, for some years, with the United States Geological Sur vey. The Director of Forestry is J. P. Kinney, who has been in the Indian Service since 1910 as Chief Forest er. During the past two years twelve new and highly qualified people have been added to the supervisory staff of the Indian Office, in addition to the directors and assistant directors named above. In contrast to the old system in which the financial and fiscal matters of the Indian Office were scattered and spread over three divisions, the Chief Finance Officer, Samuel W. Dodd, is now responsible for all fiscal and financial details, including accounting and bookkeeping, and the Purchase and Construction Sec tions. Matters of routine nature, which so often in the past have hampered the administrative working of the various divisions, will be handled by the Chief Clerk’s Office, along with the office detail. B. S. Garber will be Chief Clerk on the retirement April 30 of Charles F. Hauke, who has been in the Indian Service for 32 years. The review of all legal procedure will be handled by the Chief Counsel, John R. T. Reeves, who will have charge of the Probate Division and all other legal work.— Deft. of the Interior Memorandum for the Press.
