THE CHEMAWA AMERICA
The Printing Department did some
jnli work for Supt. Knott C. Egbert, of
Sili'tz, Ore., this week.
During ihe absence of Miss Francis,
the S. P. agent, last Tuesday, Miss Bow
man had charge of the station aside
tiiiin her schoolroom duties, and she did
net appear the least confused while sell
i:i, tickets and attending to the shipping
of the large amount of fruit and other
produce. Miss Bowman is. very accom
modating, and is capable of filling many
:iiid varied positions. .
Last Saturday the local ball tossors,
met with an overwhelming defeat at the
hands of a certain aggregation called
Pallas. Dallas batted and ran bases
like fiends, while Cheniawa was satisfied
with throwing the ball all over the
'.'rounds, and making as many errors as
possible. In the fourth inning they
thought that they would take a baloon
ascent ion just for fun 'and when they
came down the visitors scored four runs.
Stick together boys and play together,
its not individual and grandstand plays
that wins games, its team work, and
above ail keep cool, and be in the game
all the time.
Cheniawa's second base bail nine won
an easy victory on the Deaf Mute school
last Saturday. The field was very muddy
after the heavy rain which made fast
(ilaving out of question, and the , Error
column had its share Hunter, the Mutes'
iwirler was easy for the Chemnwa's and
iie also was p. orly supported. Payne,
tin. local Uvirler, pitched a good game
although the feature of the game was
the' catching of "Doc" Lane our local
catcher. The score'was 15. to 6 in fa vor of
t'lieinawa.

The intimate friends of Miss Jessie
LaBreach gave in her honor last Sunday
a birthday dinner. Those who were
fortunate enough to be among the friends
invited join in one voice thanking the
cooks who prepared such an appetizing
repast. The delicacies could have been
no better served if a professional . chief
had done the planning. The cake was
all that could be expected on such an
occasion, meats, dressing, sallad, straw
berries, cream-puff, pies, and other pala
table dishes, tempted and pleased the
guests. Thanks to the cooks and above
all best wishes and many, many other
such happy occasions is the wish of Miss
' LaBreach's many friends. Those present
were Mesdames Theisz, and Cooper; Miss
es Mellie LaBreach, Lizzie and Anna Gal
breath and Alice Williams; Messrs.
Albert Pay no, Robert Davis, Leon Park
er, Charles Paynonn.l F.tr.tunato J.iyma.
The Oregonian had the following to
say editorially concerning Chemawa's
open air Sanitarium.
Consumption, the scourge of the In
dian under civilized conditions, but un
known to the race in its savage state, is
to be treated at Cheniawa, or rather ward
ed off from its menaced victim, by return
ing them to the old-time habit of their
ancestors-sleeping out of do.irs. Tents
located in the school orchard are provid-
ed for this purpose. This does not approach
the fresh-air syste'n of the bivouac on
the ground, wrapped in skins or blankets,
Summer and Winter, that made the In
dians in their savage state immune from
this scourge of civihzation;-but it may
prove sufficient for the purpose intended.
In any event, the plan is worth trying,
since it certainly serves, neither the
purposes of civilization nor of humanity
to give Indians grammar and arithmetic
with the accompaniment of a wasting,
incurable dise ise.
