Who was it that said "These hands
were not made for work?" Work is enno
bling. It is uplifting, and that young man
looks through a glass darkly who hopes
to get through the world without work.
Far more honorable would it be for him
to say, "These are the hands of a work
ing man."
Mr. Campbell while in California met
Peter Williams and his wife Sally. ' Peter
gruluated in the class of 1901 and from
the carpenter shop. Mr. Williams and
Sally were married and left for Peter's
home soon after his graduation. For two
years Peter conducted the ferry across
the Klamath River, then he followed his
trade building one of the best two story
houses to be seen on the Coast south of
Crescent City, and for the last two years
he has a responsible position in one of
the large lumber mills at. Crescent City.
His conduct has been above reproach and
he is honored and respected both by the
Indians and whites of the co i nmnity
in which he lives.
While in California Mr. Campbell saw
Miss Marie Johnson who is located at
Requa at the mouth of the Klamath River
as Field A', atron Miss Johnson is doing an
excellent work among the Indianson the
Klamath. Every Saturday afternoon she
has a class of girls brought to her house
by the parents coming in boats, and the
afternoon is spent in instruction in sewing
etc. Mirs Johnson spends a great deal
of her time visiting the Indian women in
their homes and assisting them and
pointing out how to improve their home
life. She spends a great deal of her time
in looking after the wants of the old peo
ple within her reach. She also cares for
the sick.
The older pupils will remember Wm.
George, who was a pupil of Chemawa
and left the school about five years ago.
Wm. is now living on the Klamath river
and has the reputation of doing more
work than the ordinary man. All who
know him speak well of him and give
him a good reputation.
Alvira Parrish is now Mrs. Belvie
Lock wood living at Crescent City, Calif.
Alvira always had the reputation of be
ing a good little house-keeper, and
while Mr. Campbell was in Crescent
City he visited Alvira anu had a very
pleasant visit with her and her husband.
She htis a neat little home which is nice
ly kept. She has a bright little biue
eyed daughter that has come to live
with them, which she has named Ethel
Juanita.
