NEWPORT
.Died, at Newport, August 25,
1915, Mrs. Catherine Tait, aged
Id years and .4 months. Mrs.
Tait came to Newport ten years
ago and -has lived . here . ever
since. She was a widow, her
husband having died many years
ago. She was a Christian wo
man and a member of the Pres
byterian Church. She' was al
ways an active worker in the
Church. Her husband was a
minister - in the Presbyterian
Church. Mrs. Tait was born in
the state of New York and lived
there most of her life. She was
married in that state to Mr. Tait.
After his death she came to Ore
gon. The funeral services were
conducted at the Copeland Un
dertaking Parlors by 'Dr. Pratt
pastor of the Presbyterian
Church, and the remains were
sent back to Hammond, New
York to be Interred by the side
of her husband. She had no
relatives in Oregon. She was
an invalid for many years and
wanted to go and be at rest.
Dr. Gertrude ilinthorn has
been selected as one among sev
eral to go to India as a mission
ary to work in the hospitals.
She will leave Newport on Sep
tember 15th, go to Seattle and
from there, with a number of
others, sail on a Japanese vessel
lor mala September Zlst. It
takes some courage to. go to that
far off country, full of jungles,
-allegators, man-eating tigers and
rattlesnakes. . The many friends
of Dr. Minthorn will regret to
see her go, but all win Join in
wishing her a bon voyage and
safe return. Sb goes. under a
five years' contract, engaged by
the Canadian . Presbyterian
Church. Dr. Minthorn, her
father, Is now at Newport and in
much better health, than he has

' The opening exercises of the
.fair at -Siletz wire as follows:
Prayer by Rev. John Adams, In
Chinook (a full blooded Shasta
Indian and a nephew of the no
ted war chief, Tyee John. It is
said by persons that were In the
. Rogue River War of 1855-6 that
John's voice could be heard one
mile from the mountain tops
giving orders to . his warriors.
He had the power of uniting all
the different tribes of Southern
Oregoa in a general war on the
whites, the Bame as Pe-Pe-Mo-Mox
had in uniting the tribes in
Eastern Oregon.) Walter Hall,
president of the fair, made a
brief address of welcome and
John Williams, a full-blooded
Molalla Indian chief, gave the
response on behalf of the .In
dians. His speech has elo
quent, patriotic and Impressive.
He was proud of his Indian blood
and urged his people to stand
by their race. Fifty years of
education and training has
made the Indians capable of cit
izenship. He thought the fu
ture was bright with hope for the
Indians. He urged his people
to seize the opportunities that
surround them, and make the
most of them. Said the fair
was gotten up and conducted al
most entirely " by the . Indians.
The farm products were raised
by the Indians, and the .fine
needle work was done by the
school children and the old fash
ioned work by the Indian wo
men. The good order and dls
ciplin that prevailed on the fair
grounds attested the education
and dlsclplin of the .Indians. All
were well dressed and you had
to see the face to know which
was .white and which was In-,
dlan. Mr. Williams said the In-'
dlans in the United States num
bered three hundred thousand
and the full blooded Indians In
Mexico numbered seven millions.
"So we are not passing away as
some .would have you believe."
Ills speech was good and well
received. Superintendent Chal
craft represented ; the .dovern
ment and gave a very helpful
talk to the Indians. He is a
friend to the Indian and will do
all he can to promote his welfare
and prosperity. Prof, Frachten
berg spoke on, behalf of . the
Smithsonian InsUtute. .lie has
ethnological work among the In-'
dian tribes. Cpl. E- Hofer of
Salem made a most excellent ad
dress to . the Indians, sparkling
with wit, humor and pathos and
did, no doubt, make a lasting im
pression on the minds of the
audience. " Th6 Indian is cap
able of improvement In the arts
of civilization ard the work on
Siletz show it. The crowning
piece of dramatic art was the
play "Hiawatha." The play was
gotten up and staged by Robt.
DePoe, a full blooded Joshua
Indian and principal of the Day
School on the Upper Farm. This
play was so interesting as to fill
the auditorium for three succes
sive evenings. The characters
w-ere all Indians and the play
was one of the. great attractions
of the fair. The Newport band,
by Mr. Averill and the Chemawa
string quartet, furnished splen
did music. Everybody enjoyed
this music. Tho quartet was
composed of young Indian men,
led by Prof. Turney. The First
Indian Suit, in four parts, ar
ranged by Prof. Turney, was the
finest piece of music ever played
on Siletz. "The Dawn Light in
Uhe East" "The Dance Tribal
Ceremonies," ."The Lamanta
tion Death of a Warrior," "The
Hunt Brave on the Chase.
The musical expression of this
piece changed with the senti
ment of the song; sometimes
animated and lively and at other
times sad and solemn, as in the
death of the warrior and with
great animation in the chase.
The poet certainly leads the hu
man heart. Mr. Turney is one
of the masters in musical art.
Frank Irvin, one of the editors
of the Oregon Journal, and Dr.
Pernot and .wife of Corvallis are
at the Abbey for an outing.
