A Visit To Our Industrial
Departments.
The Old-Man-In-The-Tower made his
weekly visit to the Industrial Departments
and was very well pleased with what he
was able to observe during his hurried
inspection.
The Tailors.
The tailor department was first visited.
He wjs met at the door by (he affable and
smiling instructor, Mr. Overman and
when he inquired what have your boys
been doing the past week he said: "Oh,
the past week we have been doing repair
ing and making underwear for the boys,
and I hare been fixing up the sewing ma
chines of school, While there several boys
w ere busily engaged in making carpets for
the cottage and employes' building.
The Shoemakers.
"Boots and Shoes" was the eig;n that
greeted the old man as he came out of the
Tailor Shop, so up stairs he went. The
shoe machines were in good condition hav
ing just been sent up by Mr. Overman af
ter being' repaired, and Joe Chesaw and
Jesse Miller were pegging away. Across
the football grounds to Industrial Row the
old man took himself.
The Carpenters.
Where is Mr. Woods Charlie? Was asked
Charles Cutter, who was busily at work in
the shop. He is down at the chicken yard
with the boys. ' A visit there found the
full force hard at work on our new im
proved and up to date chicken house. .
The Blacksmiths.
The fine sturdy blacksmiths were next
interviewed. Charlie Hilburn and Alfred
Laohance were making a center punch,
Jospph Jefferson and his helper were
ironing a reach lor a farm wagon and
Thos. McCloud at his forge was making
the irons for one of the Studebaker hacks
which are now being built. Mr. Scotts re
ports the boys as industrious and anxious
to learn.
The Wagonmakers.
Passing to the rear we came upon the
wagonmakers hard at work getting out the
wood work of the hacks. Elmer Lafonso
was repairing his tools, under Mr. Hilbs
NMERICAN. 3
supervision.
The Painters.
Up stairs to the Paint department theold
man went to find that they were not on
hand, but on inquiry he was informed
that they were busily engaged painting
and kalsomining the interior of the girls'
building.
The IIarnessmakers
Passing down the row we entered the
harness shop where we found a perfect bee
hive of industrious apprentices with Mr.
Thompson at the helm. The Old-Man-in
the Tower's eyes watered as he . gazed
upon the fine harness and saddles in the
store room. In going into the room he
could not but see the five blue ribbons,
showing that this, department had taken
the first prize at the Oregon StafcftR&iir
the last five consecutive years. Vv
Our New Industrial Building.
Next we came to our new Industrial
Luilding in course of construction. What
a fine home our Industrial Department
will have? Is the comment of many. They
have done good v ork in the past, and with
better facilities we can hope for far better
results,
Our Engineers.
Stepping into the Engine room the old
man found Albert Meacum in charge. Ev
erything looked neat and clean and in order.
The brass and nickle of the Engine and
Dynamo shined bright enough 8
that the old mm could see that he was
a pretty good port of fellow.
Bakery.
From there he stepped into the bakery
where Joseph Teaho was on hand clean
ing up the bakery assisted by his
morning apprentice Alex Young.
Our New Laundry.
Just back of the bakery is a very, busy
place these days. The brick layers were
just finishing the brickwork for Chemawa's
new Steam and Electric laundry. The old
man had not much time to stay there, but
he noticed that the buil fling would bt
large and commodious, light and airy, sup
plied with store rooms and ample steam
drying rooms, so that Mrs. Brewer and
Mrs. Mitchell will wonder how they ever
