MODERN STICK.
We have at present thirty-eight boys
and young men working in the engineer
ing and pluming department with in
tentions of taking a full course. All of
these young men are capable of learning
the trade, as they are trustworthy, hon
est, and willing to work. The oppor
tunity to master this trade is greater
than ever. Our plant is larger, has
modern equipment, and as the days go
by the outside work &t plumbing, steam
fitting and electrical work increase?.
We anticipate a change in our electri
cal department when a large dynamo,
which is on the road to Chemawa, will
replace the largest generator we have at
present. Chemawa is growing, growing,
growing, consequently its right arm is
growing also.
Here is a chance for any young man
to learn a valuable trade. Grasp the
opportunity be a "modern stick" and
6tick to it until yon have accomplished
the neccessary requirements to qualify
. you for a worthy position after leaving
school.
Joe Moss, the youngster, who is
thirteen years old, is just as useful

It. might be news to state that we are
generating enough electricity and steam
day and night, to meet the needs of Che
mawa, which is large enough to be a
town itself, and have time to cook our
night lunch besides. "When is the
party coming off?" seems to the question
in consideration, while the latest news is
that "Oregon" (Eugene Anderson) has
been put through the miller. However,
we hope that he is not booked for the
cannery, as he is a great factor in the
plant. We wish him success.
