THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
3
The Chemawa Indian Rand led the
processions and these -wards of the nat
ion made o good impression. They are
a manly looking body of men and their
musical training has been no small part
of their education. Their deportment
would challenge the admiration of any
community. Medford Daily Tribune
The Chemawa Indian band of Salem,
one of the finest mnsical aggregations in
the entire state, played all during the
day and evening and their music was
greatly enjoyed. The Chemawas are,
indi vidually, the best trained muicians
in the West, as care seems to have been
taken to teach them every rudiment in
music. Jacksonville Post.
The band Will start - for the Chaut
auqua at Gladstone Park, Oregon, Mon
day morning shortly after they return
from .Jacksonville, where th-y played
for the Fourth. They will play there
and stay until about the 22ud. The
boys always enjoy this annual, outing
which is also very beneficial to them.
' THE SMALL BOYS
Mr. Farrow's small Sunday school boys
were so eager tot repeat the golden texts
last Sunday that they were heard above
ail others near them.
Master Forrest C vp;r celebrated his
fourth birthday Friday evening with
a number of the little folks. He was
very proud of .his gayly decorated cake
made by Miss Gray.
Mrs. Newcomb puts about a dozen of
the smallest boys to bed every day in
regular "good night" style to sleep dur
ing the hot tiresome afternoons.' Thee
naps are proving very restful and bene
ficial forjthe little fellows. One of the
little'tots says that he has noticed that
''his fist is bigger already."
Mrs. Newcomb has tried traps and
poison to rid the small boys home of
pesky rats but with no success. vNow
her faith in the small boys' v capabilities
has been established because they very
seldom allow a rat that has entered their
dormitory to escape. Their method is
to close all windows and doors upon the
entrance of a rat and then surround it
and tackle it.
The boys of the small boys' hom'e'had
a picnic on the Fourth at Old Chemawa.
There were several swings put up for
them. They climbed trees, played ball
and amused themselves in many other
ways, thus passing a very pleasant time
' at the grove. They were served lunch
nnd lemonade at noon, by Mr. Swartz,
Mrs. Newcomb and Mrs. Doherty who
were in charge of them.
Mrs Newcomb took a hackload of the
smallest boys to'town the day before the
Fourth to see the decorations and for a
general good time. With many of the
small boys in the party, it was the first
trip to Salem, and you can imagine how
they enjoyed looking at the adVertise-
ments, the things in the store windows,
and in peeping into the stores. Alto
gether they had a very good time, and
it was a tired but joyful and happy party
of fifteen little fellows that1 returned at
the close of the day's outing.
