SILETZ
Died, at her home in Siletz, January
7th, 1920, Mrs. Peter Kobiolski, age
4 years, 3 months and 3 days. She is
urvived by hef husband and eight
children, four boys and four girls.
The children werex all present when
she passed away except one son, who
was in Vancouver, Washington. The
children were all present at the funer
. al. Intemnent took place in River
view cemetery, that was e&tablished
last spring as a burial place for the
white people The funeral was largely
attended by the friends and neighbors
of deceased. Services were held at
the Catholic church at 11 a. m., con
ducted by Father Vollebregt, of New
port, Oregon. The seating capacity of
the little church was over-taxed and
some had to stand. To assist the
Father in the service a choir was gath
ered together from members of the
community. The services wore very
Impressive. The Priest spoke of the
Christian character of deceased, her
devotion and love for her children,
her worth as a (home builder, a good
neighbor, a faithful and true compan
ion to her husband, a useful member
Ja society, a tireless worker and one
who practiced, as far as she could
the teachings of the Great Master.
Such a character Is a great loss to any
community, but her example will still
survive and exert a good Influence
over others, long after she has passed
away. The pupils of the public school
Marly all attended the services In a
body.
W. A. Petzold, Regional director of
the Inter-church World movement of
the American Ind'eu survey of the
Northwest area, embiacing Montana,
Wyoming, Idaho, Oregui and Wash
ington, spent Sunday at Siletz having
come over Saturday evening from To
ledo. It was published among the
Indians that he desired as many of
them as possible to be at church Sun
day as he had a special message to
deliver that would be of Interest to
the redman, Mr.' Petzold had spent
sixteen years of his lire as missionary
among the Crow nation of Montana.
He: has a wide knowledge of Indian
characteristics. He said he Crow In
dlane had an empire of their own and
were rich. The allotment to each In
dian is 160 acres of land, and they
number 2500 all told. About 500 still
wear blankets and are uncivilized. It
Is a great stock and farming country
and the most of the Indians are doing
well, live in fine homes and are good
business men. They no longer de
serve the name of being called lazy
and shiftless, but .thrifty and prosper
ous. Mr. Petzold held two services,
at 11 o'clock and in 'the evening, and
at both services the house was crowd
ed to Its full seating capaci y. Rev.
Walter Ross, pastor of the M. B.
church here, introduced .the speaker
with some felicitous remarks. The
sermon was able and Impressive, 'es
pecially directed for the good of the
redman. After the services were over
the Indians, men, women and children,
were bunched up In rent of the church
and a picture was taken of them. Rev.
and Mrs. Ross being missionaries
were included In the picture. These
photographs are to be published In
the church magazines as a 'matter of
Information to all who are Interested
In missionary work among the Indians.
The pictures are not taken for com
mercial purposes but will be printed
at actual cost, at about ten cents
apiece. The evening services were
till better and the audience larger
than before, especially with the Indian
people. The choir singing was extra
good. Charles Larsen helped out very
much with his cornet The sermou
'Was still more eloquent and broader,
embracing the world movement of th?
churches for the spread of Christianity
to the remotest parts of the earth.
This is a gigantic task, but it is being
carried forward with zeal and deter
mination. Mr. Petzold was well pleas
ed with the progress the Siletz Indians
nave made in the arts of civilization
and also with the kind, considerate
trsAtmeut of the whites who live
among them. He was also pleased
with the beauty of the Siletz valley
and the vast undeveloped resources
that surround it Mr. Petzold pleased
the audience by sinking a song In ths
Crow language. No one understood it
"but it sounded good. The song was
composed by a Crew Indian and was
of a religious character.
Dr. C. S. Phillip?, Eye specialist
from the Indian office is here and
-will examine and trea; all the Indians
who may have diseased' and defective
eyes. He also examines and fits glass
es. Dr. Burgess was over Tuesday to
see Judge Gardner, who has been quite
sick for several weeks. The Judgo

this country, as It Is so hard to get
lumber in here, and there is so much
splendid saw timber available here
that should be put on the market A
sawmill would be welcomed by a great
many who have timber which they

brought two men here a short time ago
