THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN. 7 How do you like it? James Smith i a flr9t class poet so the Engineer boys say. The C.I.S. upon the top of the water tank gives Chemawa a good advertisment at 'nights, Mr. and Mrs. Campbell attended the Grand Opera in Portland on Friday and Saturday evenings. Andrew Picard has departed from us. He is going to Pendleton, Ore. to work in a harness shop. That is good and we Lope he will put half of his earnings in the bank so he will soon be a rich man and own a harness shop of his own. I am sure that all of the pupils of this school felt very thankful to Mr St. Pierre for the brilliant address that he delivered last night. Ialso think that a large number of the boys and girls went out of the chapel feeling glad that they were in Chemawa instead of Persia. We regret to announce that Dr. W. J. Stephenson has resigned as physician at Chemawa and retired to private practice, owiug to the poor health of his wife. Dr. Stephenson and bis estimable wife, during their short stay at Chemawa made many warm triends, and the regret was universal that circumstances were such that com pelled him to leave us. In Doctor Step hensoa we loose an excellent physician and a 'Worthy gentleman. In the resignation of Supt. Ralph P. Col lins of Abuquerque the service loses a v'ery faithful and successful long-time "worker. Although their names are not of ten seen in the papers, Superintendent and Mrs. Collins are always found at their post, and are well known to be first, last and all the time true friends of the Indian. The schools that have been under Mr. Collins' charge will not soon forget him, and the pPi especially have much for which to hold him iu grateful remembrance. He return to his beautiful home near the ot of the Spanish Peaks. Native Amer-can. Col. R. M. Pringle, Supervisor of Engi neering is mow visiting the School inspect ing our Engineering Department. He is a genial gentleman and is looking after Chem awa's needs. Be says that he enjoys the Oregon Climate, especially after having spent several weeks on the sandy hills of Arizona. Henry Lovelace, printer and manager of the American, has severed his connections with Chemawa, owing to ill health, and left on Thursday for Phoenix, Arizona, where he hopes to recuperate. Henry was a faith ful, conscientious young man and put forth his best endeavor in whatever he under took. Eor the pa3t year he has had the entire management of the American. We . wish him the best of prosperity in his new surroundings. Haynes DeWitt unexpectedly found him self a visitor of the Priscilla Art Club Mon day evening. He settled himself comfort ably for the evening and evidently enjoyed his surroundings. As an admirrer of dain- ty designs in needle work, the girls think he can hardly be surpassed. How long Haynes would have remained is a question. But when M ary J. Smith apparently with out any malice began aghoststory, Haynes suddenly made his exit, eveu forgetting to , say "Goodnight" On Thursday P. M. , the school was honored by a visit from Congressman-elect Williamson, who came up on the after noon overland with Mr. Charles Gray, his wife and a number of ladies. The party was met at the station by the school band, and during their stay, the band Jiscoused sweet music from the band stand. The Industrial Departments, the Dormitories and Dining Room were visited in the order named. Mr. Williamson expressing him self as much pleased with what he observed. He took a great interest in everything, and as he remarked, "I am pleased to see what . you have here, so that when I get to Wash ington, I may know personally concerning your needs." Our new brick structures were greatly admired. The Girls' New Dormitory sharing its praises with those of our Industrial Shops.
