Marbles are all the rage these dayp.
Mr? Gordon and Donna left on Tues
day for Cheyenne, Wyoming, where M rs.
Gordon was called by sickness in the
family.
The friends of Mrs, Smith will be glad
to know that she is getting along nicely
at the Salem Hospital and will soon re
turn to duty.
. Judging "from the way the Nesika
Club it? practicing in the band room of
Mitchell Hall we can look fur a very up-to-date
entenainmem in the near future.
Our basketball boys will meet the
team from Independence in our gym
nasium tonight, and on Monday night
will try out with the Ashland Athletic
Club. The latter combination is one of
the strongest in the state.
We sent, this week, a couple of hun
dred blackberry plants to Supt. Covey
of the Warm Spring school, and trust
that the . plants will thrive as well in
Warm Spring and give the pupils there
as luscious berries as we have in Che
mawa. ,
The plastering has been taken off of
the old hospital building and the build
ing-cleaned out so that - now it is ready
for the carpenters and plasterers. When
completed Chemawa will have one of
the nicest Domestic Science departments
in the service,
Nannie, Valentine and Thomas Rid'
dell returned to the school this week
with Mrs. Howard, they having been
called home concerning some court busi
ness. Minnie Howard accompanied
them to the school and her friend here
were glad to see her looking so well.
The band boys are having a broad
smile these days "because they know
that in a very short tin e they will have
added to their number several new in
struments which were purchased from
the Wurlitzer Company, consisting . of
clarionets, slide trombones, baritones and
helicons. . ,
Word was received at the school on
Wednesday that Frank Pierce had leen
killed at South Bend that morning.
Particulars are lacking. He-was working
in a logging camp near there. Frank
was a student of Chemawa four or five
years ago, coming to the school from Cal
ifornia. t
Mr. Baithalow has'completed the con
tiact in the installation of -th boiler,
smokestack, and extension to the power
house. There are yet some minor re
pairs that we have to make on the old
part of the plant that were not covered
by the contract. When this is done the
engineering department will be at a high
point of efficiency.
The plumbing work at the sanitaiiuni
has been completed and the t lectricians
under Mr. Gordon, are now busy instal
ling; . electric lights in the same. The
carpenters are putting the finishing
touches on the doors and the painters
are finishing up their part of the work.
When all the plans aie carried out
Chemawa will not only have a eanitaii
urn that, is without equal in. the service,
but will be the peer of any, in .this broad
land of ours.
