The game of ball with the St. Paul
team for Wednesday was cancelled on
account of rain. St. Paul has a fast
bunch of ball tossers.
It is a pleasure these days to go into
Mitchell Hall and enjoy the pleasant

ance of things around the domestic sci
ence building Everything looks ship
shpe and neat. Flowers of all kinds
will be blooming there presently.
At the Reliance sociable last evening
we failed to see the Excelsior colors which
had been won by the former society.
Upon inquiry we learned that the Ex
celsiors failed to deliver the goods. In
the past "Excelsior" in society circles
stood for good sport. We hope they
will still keep up their good name. A
good loser is the best kind of a sport.
Our ball team will play Willamette
University today at Chemawa: Mt.

sheared of his fleece and been placed

of the brush that grow in the enclosure.
The windmill is a great acquisition for
Chemawa. It does not burn an'- wood
and then when "Old Boreas" blows we
are sure of water in the early morn.
''Fie" never fqrgets to turn on the valves
in the morning.
Mr. Frank Willman of Salem made
a short visit yesterday at the school,
and inspected the tennis courts. Mr.
Willman promises that he will again
grace our courts this spring. This is
good news for our tennis enthusiasts.
The plans for remodeling the Small
Boys' Home are well under way. This
building needs a complete overhauling,
and if the plans conitemplated can be
consummated our small boys will have
a very much better home the coming
years.
The kale that was planted in February
is nearly ready for transplanting. This
was our best forage crop the past year
and our dairy force promise that this
will take still another step forward and
give us still better results from kale the
coming season.
The roses that havf- been placed around
the cottages occupied by Messers. Woods,
Swaboda, Van Tassel, Frye, Mann are all
doing nicely and give promise of having
some bloom this -eason. About 500 roses
were placed about these cottages this
spring by these progressive employes.
The relay race boys must get down to
work if we expect to repeat our victories
of the past three years. The Portland
Y. M C. A. team are making extra efforts
to win this year's race while some of our
boys seem to think that we have them
defeated without systematic training.
We won before by regular training and
that is the only way we can win. Now
boys get in and go to work and sustain
the honor and colors of "Old Chemawa."
