' There was quite a fuss at a board meeting at the Bear creek of skill with the bow and arvv., and many other Indian games. Each evening during the fair the play "Hiawatha" was staged in the auditorium. This was un doubtedly the biggest attraction. Forty Indians are used In the cast and it is most excellent ren dered. This famous Indian play enacted by the real Indtons is superior to It's reproduction by any company of white people. To make the play more real and fascinating real Indian songs and dance were intermingled throughout the play. So great was the demand for admittance to see Hiawatha the sale of seats 1 li ,1 i.n 1 : : l t .i uuu iu uc iiiuiieu. iuuid.na ranging ln ages from five to sixty years were in the cast. To Prof, and Mrs. R. R. De Poe, in structors in the Upper Farm Day school, credit is due for the success of this play. The Chemawa Indian string lates during the period begin-'quartet gave a concert In the ning April 1 and ending August , auditorium each afternoon. This fair will be good, not in farm products and fine stock, but in Indian relics, curios and cos tumes. The old-fashioned In dian games ana dances will be reproduced and the interest will be kept up with each days' pro gram. It Is expected a thous and people will attend the fair. Each night a feather dance will be given by the Indians and as many of the whites as wish to Join in the' fun. All, of course, must wear the Indian costumes, It will be interesting to contrast the old with the new way of do ing things and to see just how much progress the Red Man has made within the past sixty years. Jt wont be long now until the indlans will be put upon his own ' resources the same as the white man is and If he don't go ahead it will be his own fault. The In dians have the best land on the reservation and there is no rea Bon why he should not bo as good a farmer, stock raiser as the white man, and the Indian woman should be as good house keeper as the white woman and If she don't do this no one is to blame but herself. When the white man says an Indian is too lazy to work and will never make a farmer, why don't the Indian get in and. work and do things Just as well as the white man? Why wait any longer for the white man to lead the way? The Siletz Is the most beautiful and productive part of the county and hero will be built up some of the finest homes In the county. The timber alone is worth mil lions of dollars and the Boil along the beautiful Siletz river Is the finest In the state. Commence now to lay the foundation for a greater Siletz. This is being done first by putting up a splen did schoolhouse 27x74 feet with an addition of a large room on the west side, so the building will .havo three largo, well-lighted and well ventilated school rooms.
