THE CHEMAWA AMERICAN
TAILOR SHOP NOTES.
We are pleased to report the return of
our Willie Mose to Chemawa and to the
tailor shop. We appreciate the spirit dis
played by Willie for the reason that up
on his arrival in Chemawa his first visit
was to the tailor shop where he engaged
a work bench immediately. There was no
mistake in his intention to continue in
well doing. Among the many interest
ing tales he told of his journey, from
Greenville, California, to Chemawa, Ore
gon, was his experience of being obliged
to walk twenty-one miles and carry two
loaded grips on a rough railroad grade
on account of a wash out on the road.
He stated that he Was tempted to throw
the grips several times down the embank
ment because of their Weight and the dis
tance to the next station. But he thought
of all the good goods contained therein,
to wit: Basketball costume, tennis
s hoes, corduroy trousers, etc, etc., so
hesitated and instead, procured a stout
stick and placing one grip on each end
and his shoulder in the middle of the
stick he started for his destination. A
railroad station and a supper and then
Chemawa. Among other things told
was his meeting an old time friend,
Philip Sorahan, who is tailoring among
his town people.
The tailors received a note from Asst.
Supt. Campbell to cut make and deliver
window shades for the domestic science.
Archie Lane has just finished a pair
of trousers and he thinks no one could
do. better than him in making trousers.
He claims to bp a first cias tailor when
he hears the whistle blow.

their usual place. The house was call
ed to order and roll was called, there
