THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
The boys of A, B, and C, Companies
are out drilling every morning.
VV e have a very nice doctor. He takes
good care of the pupils that go to the
hospital.
The Oregon Journal's second Educa
tion Contest has opened, and we are
pleased to see that Peter Seltice, a mem
ber of the class of '07, has entered the
contest. Scholarships, cash prizes, and
cash commissions, will be given to the .
young men and women who succeed in
getting the most subscriptions for the
Journal. Some of you will remember
this contest of last year in which -John
Benson was one of the winners. The
contest this year is practically the same.
Peter will speak with all prospective
subscribers and explain fully all details
of this contest, v It will be the most con
sistant and ambitious young people who -will
win, and we are certain that Peter
will be successful in this by no means
an easy undertaking. All assistance will
be heaitily appreciated.
EARHAR T the larges t
word in the vocabulary of any
who had has the privilege of at
tending a student conference atthat place.
We left "Old Chemawa" at 3:15 i. Al
and its ambitious red students. First,
a question came to my mind, ''What am
I g;oing to obtain from the Conference?"
As we were stopping at Woodburn. we ,
met quite a number of young men
from the University of Oregon, air of
whom quickly recognized and shook
hands with us. Just a little ways north
of the town, there appeare i before my
sight a camp "Camp of God." There.
I thought, "I wonder if our meeting will

We arrived at Portland 5:30 o'clock
p. M., and immediately looked for a
lodging house, and thento the Y. M. C.
A. building where we were greeted by
the faculty as well as the others. For
the time we were in Portland I had an
interview with my young friends in
cluding Pedro Cayago.
Next morning we left Portland at 8.
o'clock on the A. & C. R. R. There were
quite a number of young men on the
same train. We were compelled to go
around and get acquainted with all the
delegates from each "institution of the
entire Northwest.
Between Portland and Goble we sang
hymns until Fred B. Smith, a man who
has wide-world reputation as one of the
greatest Evangelical speakers joined us
We goi to Astoria about noon and manjT
or at least all of the delegates ran for the
restaurant for lunch. We were
soon on the train again and after
about an hour's ride we arrived at Gear
hart. We immediately had our names
registered and then went to dinner. In
the afternoon the young men devoted
their time to recreation. At 5:30 p.m.
the supper bell rang, and without hesi
tating we wandered towards the dining
hall. From 6:45 to 9:00 we had the
pleasure of listening to J. C. Clark of
Portland and some suggestions by others
Fred B. Smith also spoke to us giving
an outline of the purpose of the Student
Conferences.
The rising bell sounds at 6: 30
a. m., and it would be a disgrace if any
one should yet be sleeping. Many have
been out for an hour enjoying a walk
through the woods or along the beach
keeping the "Morning Watch."
Breakfast is called at 7:15 a. m.
