l'HE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
KEEP NATIVES OUT OF SIGHT.
James L. Farmer; of Nashville, Term,
appointed by the government to collab
orate with Gov. Hoggatt, of Alaska, in
collecting an Alaska exhibit for the
Alaska-Pacific exposition, reached Seat
tle last night on his way to Juneau.
Mr. Farmer has in mind an Alaska
exhibit which, he thinks, will truly rep
resent the country as it is today.
"We will leave the Eskimos and In
dians at hone,' said he last night at the
Rainier-Grand. "What we want to
show is that Alaska is a country where
white men can live and our exhibit will
be collected with this idea in mind. The
resou;ces of the country will be as well
represented as possible and we expect to
demonstrate that Alaska is not only a
country of gold but a country where the
necessary cereals and garden products
can be raised."-Seattle Post Intelligen
cer. Their country isto.be exploited, not
the natives, .but we expect to see the
vVorst side of these people depicted in
the side shows of the Yukon Exposition
tor the delectation of a morbid public.

Miss Irene Howard was the guest of
her sister, Miss Frances, Sunday evening.
Mr. and Mrs. Cox served a. delicious
luncheon to the large boys on Tuesday.
Miss Iva Cox left Wednesday evening
to visit friends in California. Chemavya
friends were loath to have Miss Cox take
her departure, as she is very popular with
the younger set.
' The office girls all agree that Miss
Edna Koester certainly knows how to
make penochee, judging from the tooth
some contents of the box sent Miss
Hutchinson from Yreka, Calif.
Mr. and Mrs. Cox leave soon for their
new field of work at the Leupp School in
sunshiny Arizona. Their many friends
will miss them at Chemawa, but the best
wishes of the American and friends go
with them. .
The baseball season is over. Now
comes basketball and football. The
prospects for a good football schedule
.this fall are very bright, while with the
new'gymnasium, Chemawa will have a
basketball floor not excelled in the North
west and equalled by but one or two.
Miss Hutchinson was the recipient of
a box of beautiful, specimens of Southern
California products olives on branch,
figs, oranges, lemons, and a branch of a
pepperwood tree, from Mrs. Hay,' who
is now taking a course in the San Bernar
dino College. Mrs. Hay likes the south
very well, although she states she misses
the delightful climate of Oregon and
many friends at Chemawa.

toasts afforded much amusement during
the evening. Delicate refreshments
were served by the popular young host

wishing that birthdays might be more
frequent at the Cooper home. Among
those present were Misses Frances How
ard, Caroline Koester, Cora E. Steporieck,
Iva Cox, Messrs Henry Dillstrom, Clar
ence Cooper, Mrs. A. Cooper,
