INDIAN CHILDREN
GO TO CHE MAW A.
Superintendent Edwin L Chalcraft,
of the United States Indian school at
Chemawa, Ore., made this city a short
viit Tuesday afternoon. The. C hem aw a
Indian school is one of the largest and
best institutions of its kind in the Unit
td Slates. Here the Indian boys and
gii Is ai e given, free of cost, comfortable
homes and educated, each having an op
portunity to learn, in a thorough and
'practical manner, some ' .useful trade,
which will enable them to become self
supporting. In addition to the great
educational advantages which it holds out
to Indian children, Chemawa is one of
the most beautiful spots in Oregon.
Many of the buildings are of brick and
were built at a large cost by the govern
ment. The new hospital recently com
pleted on the grounds is one of the finest
in the state. The new gymnasium is
also classed among the best in Oregon.
Chemawa has become famous through
out Oregon, for its beautiful rose hedges,
flower beds, lawns, orchard and gardens.
There are now over 500 pupils in attend
ance at the school, many Indian boys
and girls from this country being among
the number. The school has made rap
id progress during the few years that
Supt. Chalcraft has been in charge.

CHEMAWA VS. FORT STEVENS.
Last Saturday our boys added another
to their unbroken string of victories on
their home grounds, by defeating Fort
Stevens by the score of 31 to 5 in a fast,
clean game one of the cleanest ever
played on our gridiron. The Fort Stev
ens team was a husky bunch, weighing
10 pounds to the man more than our
team, and as they had been under the
coaching of Lieutenant Farnsworth, who
during his West Point career was picked
by Walter Camp as the all American
tackle, our boys entered the game with
a good bit of trepidation, but the work
of the week in perfecting the forward
pass and getting down to solid work in
line bucking had its result. '
In the first, half, by the . use of the
forward pass, three touch downs were
made. '1 he first one being made a
minute and a-half after the kick-off by a
spectacular series of forward passes
and line bucks. The score at the end of
that half was 16 to 0.
In the second half the Fort Stevens
boys took a brace just after the kick-off
and got a hold of a quarter back kick
and Quimby, their star man, made a run
of forty yards for a touch down. The
Fort Stevens punter was out of commis
sion. Two blocked punts netted Che
mawa two more touch downs, tc which
was added a third by a series of line
bucking, the score in the second half
being 15 to 5 in our'favor.
The Fort Stevens put up a good,
aggressive, up hill game and stayed
with it to the end, although it was
demonstrated that the game was ours
from the start.
Quimby and Cullen were the par
ticular stars for Fort. Stevens while Dilh
strom, Sortor, Wilson, and Souvigner
played fine for Chemava. Grahahl's
toe seemed to be out of-commission as
he only netted one goal out of six on a
dry field.
Twenty-five minute halves were plac
ed. Officials, Lieutenant Keller and
Mr. r lemming.
