8 THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN Chemawa as S?en by Crescant City Friends A result of the recent visit of Mr. W. P. Campbell, Assistant Superintendent of the Chemawa, Oregon, Indian school, to this country, ten Del Nortre Indian children or children with Indian blood in them will be provided for and receive tuition in that insti tution for a period of three years. Mr. Camp bell '-ncc?ieded in enlisting ten recruits from this section five boys and four girls, Requa, and the lad Sam John, from Crescent City and departed with his protectes across the mountians, via Grants Pass, Friday last with conveyance furnished by the liverymen Breeu Bros. The Chemawa school, maintained at Hie expense of the General Government, has a scholarship attendance of about, six hundred, drawn from the district represented, includ i f the ftiitof of Washington, Lregon, Cali fornia. Idaho and Montana.

It is the duty of those having acquaintance and iufluet.ce with any of rlie ie.uuaui Indian population of the district, to pre.-ent this school io them lu its tiui.v charitable and liuma Italian cliaiacter. It is not a mere experiment. Aiany Indian boys and girls have been saved b. it from an aimless and dissolute savage life, and are now useful nd happy members of socie y.

There is quite a number of Indiau children yet in the county who are eligible to member ship in the Chemawa school, and they are certainly standing greatly in their own light if they fail to avail themselves of the privilege. 'Jrescervt City News. Uncle Sam Warns a Tailor For Indian ; Washington, March, 13- Uncle Sain needs a tailor in the Indian service at Fort Shaw, Montana, and has advertised for applicants to the civil servic examina tion today for the place. The advertise ments fail to state whether a tailor is wanted who may be able to introduce l tie latest French cut of clothes to Indian swells, or whether plain Indian blankets, with feather adornments, shall be the style exploited by the tailor. The appli cants, howev 3r, must "f male sex, "un married or without family," and must not expect a salary more than $660 a year to begin with. .If his work is satis factory to the government and likewise to the Indians it is possible that he may receive more money in the future.
