Mrs. F. W. Carson of Toledo was visit
ing Miss Bender over Sunday.
Mr. Riddell of Bay Center, Wn., was
visiting his children here during the
week.
Rose Festival visitors from the school
were Mrs. Campbell, Miss Faris, Mies
Grear, Miss Steponeck and Mr. Larsen.
We are all glad to hear that Mies
Boyd, who has been suffering from a
severe case of pneumonia, is improving
and that her temperature is normal.
The office force were made happy by
the securing of a Thesaurus dictionary of
the English language which will greatly
help them to think of things when their
minds refuse to work.
The first news of the safe arrival of
our friends to Alaska was the, following
received by Mrs. Chalcraft: "At Sea (by
United Wireless) S. S. Portland, June 11,
3 a. m. arrived Katalla; all well.'' Seat
tie Post-Intelligencer. .
New running track and hay carriers
have been installed in both the dairy and
horse barns to replace those which did
not give satisfaction. Mr. Swartz pre
dicts that Chemawa's hay crop will be
harvested in about half the time owing
to the improvement.
A ten-horse power General Electric
Motor has been ordered. for use at the
barns and the farm. The motor will be
installed on a portable frame and will
be used for our ensilage cutting; for the
unloading of our hay; the cutting of our
feed and the clearing of our land. With
the motor will be installed an up-to-date
hoist, which also has been secured.
C. E. Frye recived an appointment
wheelwright in the Quartermaster's )
partment at the Vancouver Barracks jn
Washingtion June 1, and after lookino
over the situation he decided to remain
in Chemawa. While there is difference
in salary yet it would not justify a change,
and then he feels that he can do more
good to the government here than at
Vancouver.
Minnie and Maggie Pambrun, former
pupils of the school, paid Chemawa a
visit and were delighted to again visit
Chemawa and were s-urprised at the
many improvements which they found
here. Maggie is married and has two
