. Good weather has at last reached
Chemawa. We have had bad weather
for the past month and our only satis
faction was that it was so much worse
every where else, according to news
paper reports.
The American is ph ased ; to acknowl
edge the receipt of a pictorial description
of Pine Ridge Res rvation, which was
printed in the office of the Oglala Light."
It is a neat and interesting piece of work.
In addition to giving the photos of all
the employees and prominent Indians, it

on the reservation.
Superintendent E. L. Chalcraft visited
Superintendent Peairs and family on
Thursday of last week. At the regular
chapel meeting he spoke to the pupils
briefly, giving them excellent advice as
to being thorough in their work and re
maining in school long enough to com
plete some trade or other course. Mr.
Chalcraft made a favorable impression
upon all. Indian Leader.
The work of cleaning the land on
Chemawa farm goes merrily on. All of
' the 84 acres which were purchased by
the pupils of Chemawa years ago, with
money earned hop-picking and presented
to the Government, is now nearly clear
of stumps. All the stumps have been
blown out and Mr. Cooper is now pulling
them with a crew of boys and Mr.
Burdette is following him with another
crew grubbing, piling and burning, so
that by the first ol March all of the
land will be ready for the plow.
Reports from Quinault Agency are to
the effect that the storm of this week has
done much damage at Tahelah, the In
dian settlement at the mouth of the
Quinault River. In its normal condi
tion the river is about 100 feet wide at
the site of the village, but the force of
the current has widened it so that it b
now nearly 900 feet. This gives room
for immense breakers to roll in from the
sea, endangering buildings. The river
has been sc swollen by the heavy rain
fall that cleared land on its border has
been washed out, buildings swept away
and cattle drowned.
