The Tailor Shop is in receipt of a letter
from our late associate and shopmate,
Alex Cajet who is employed at his
trade (Tailoring) in the house of D. Mc
Phail, Merchant Tailor, 5 1-2 E Yakima
Ave, North Yakima.
He (Alex Cajete) sends his kind re
gaids to all his Chemawa friends and
every body at Chemawa is and always
was a friend to him, such an estimable
character was this late graduate Alex
Cayete.
In his letter he speaks of his continued
peace, health and prosperity, owing the
latter to the training and preparation
he received while at the Chemawa train
ing school. This very deserving young
Indian boy has set a splendid example
tor all other Indian boys to follow and
has in a great measure proved that there
is no prejudice to overcome because of
his race.
He left Chemawa a competent me
chance and the people he met in civil
life acceped him for what hec uild prove
himself to be.
A young Indian man, whose mind re
flected only the clean and pure, whose
hand was skilled in the preformance of
industrial labor, whose understanding of
the rights of others because a guide in
his daily life and conduct..
And in the summary you have a brief
picture of what Chemawa is doing every
day for its students; fitting them to live
a useful and profitable life.
BLACKSMITHS VS. ALL-STARs,
The basketball season at Chemawa
was brought to a close last Monday
evening when the undefeated Black
smiths played an All-Star team, and to
say that the game was interesting would
be putting it mildly. To know how
exciting and interesting it was you would
have to have seen it. The game was
by far the best exhibition of basketball
ever played on our floor. Two teams
evenly matched, quick and strong, and
playing for dear life. From the time
the whistle sounded to the end of the
contest there was enough excitement to
tingle the nerves of the most hardened
fan.
- The game began with a dash and a
whirl and it seemed as if the pace
was a little too fast to be lasting, but
never for a minute was the game delayed
for time. The scoring was a see-saw
affair and first one was ahead and then
another. At the end of the first half
the score stood 11 to 7 in favor of the
All-Stars. The second half was a rep
etition of the first, and a great deal more
interesting. Playing was faster and
passes quick and clean. First one side
would work the ball to their basket and
get a chance shot only to see the ball
roll on the edge of the basket and then
fall to one side amid the sighs and groans
of their friends who by this time had
been worked up to such a pitch of
excitement that it was all they could do
to keep themselves in their right place.
The score stood 23 to 22 in favor of
the Blacksmiths with a few minutes to
play, when the All-Stars secured a
basket and they were ahead one point.
From this time on it was anybqdy's
game The teams alternated in secur
ing baskets and when the final whistle
sounded the score stood 29 to 28 in the
Blacksmiths' favor, thus ending one of
the most sensational games ever played
on our floor.
