the farm tools and implements when not
in use. Here wagons, rakes, plows, har

of winter or the summer sunshine when
not doing service in their particular ca
pacity. This was a much-needed build
ing and in time will more than pay for
itself in many ways.
Another building that is being remod
eled is what atone time was the old
printing office. A portion of this struc
ture will be used for families while the
remainder will be utilized as a bachelors'
quarters. This; too, had become a nec
essity.1 Perhaps one of the greatest, if not the
greatest, undertakings of the year is the
construction and erection of an open-air
sanitarium. This will consist of 16 wards,
eight for girls and a like number for
boys. This is particularly intended for
the accupancy of those who are in need
of the fresh air'treatment, as science has
proved that many are benefitted by lib
eral potions of light and fresh air. This
enterprise is progressing nicely and all
who take an interest in conditions here
must feel pleasure in the knowledge,
that such. a great work is nearing com
pletion at Chemawa.
There are many improvements other
than those above-mentioned in progress
in Chemawa, but they will serve as the
basis for a future article.
