Mr I'utter was born -7 years ; in Shaken, a little village in soutlt .i,lern Alaska, and b, -Lings to the Thlink.t tribes. 1'ntil he was seven he was as other boys of his race, and I was taken for grant, d that be. in the fullness of time, would also he come i great man in his tribe, and , reside over i-.uin-il fires, become a mighty huni.r. make the pipe of with the pale facts w no came the country, and in other ways .lep-rt himself a- a great i hief should. Hut Puchh-hoh-hharchh. the Ha ven, had other plans for himself. Hid den deep in the innermost recess of his smil was the longing for music, n.it the weird barbaric tribal chants of the Thlingets. but something dif ferent. He had listened to and taken j.art in the gosp.-l hymns of the mis sion school which he attended since his seventh year, and it was this music that appealed to him. With the very first money he ever earned. $3, he In vested in a cornet. That there was no one at the mission capable of teaching him to play the instrument did not for a moment daunt the spir it of this scion of royalty. For two years he practiced, and at the end of that time was able to play the mission hymns, and was Inci dentally the happiest boy In Alaska, but this achievement only whetted his appetite for more. Somehow there had penetrated to the wilds of that little snow bound settlement the news of the Ch.maw.i Indian school. Straightway the Haven made up his mind that he wanted to go there, but how to net there was the vexatious problem. Alaska Indians were bar red unless tiny paid their own way Hut to the Haven where there Is a will there is also a way, and having made up his mind to g to Chemawa he set about encompassing the means attend the end. He did tbis ny rking in the Alaska fish canneries until he had secured the requisite amount. The day he entered the school lie was almost as happy as he was when he mastered the intricacies of the cor net. That dav marked the turning point In his career. He became a member of the fhemawa Indian school band and also the singing so ciety It was Just about this time that Mrs. X. J. Campbell of Chemawa heard him sine and recognizing- the latent possibilities of his voice taught him solo work. His Initial bow was made in the summer of "02-3. at Chemawa. where he sang for the first time in public. It is customary to think of an In dian being stolid and unafraid at all times and In all places, but Mr. Cut ter describes most graphically his bad case of stage fright in which' his knees quaked and his heart pounded to suf focation. , Mr. William Hover of Portland heard him on this occasion and with prophetic mind he looked Into the fu ture and saw success written large above the head of the poor, unknown, obscure Indian boy from Alaska. Th upshot of the matter was that he for ever dropped his Indian patronymic and became the protege of Mr. Hoyer. Mr. Cutter as yet has made but few public appearances During the Lew is and Clark fair he sang with the Carnival of Venice company and again at the unveiling i the statue of Saca Jiiwea. Since then his work has been confined principally to choir Kinging. It is the personality of the man that first afracts fine. I don't know whether he has ever been told that he s hand-ume. but It is undoubtedly a fa t. H- shows h's royal blood in h.s f atu; and h: action" are grace ful in the extreme. At present he is entirely U'ispoiled. yet I can well im agine il. the fullt.es? of time when he has seen more of the world that lie will be most attiactiv to women, and I believe, too, that should he ever forget bis art in the in'i rest of the little god of love that he would make an ideal lover. Hut it is tint of these tilings that Charles ('ut'er. erstwhile Doehh.hoh hharchh. the Haven, is concerned. Music is to him th- breath of life. It represents everything fills every long of his soul. His taste in music is far from Catholic He has no use for the popular music of the day. but prefers the standard operas, bis three favorites being "Faust." "La Boheim" and "Carmen." Of the modern love songs he confesses to a predlliction for Hrahm's and Plnsutti's. Mr. Cutter speaks English with Just enough accent to make his speech Interesting and attractive, and sings with equal facility in English or Cerrnan. He told me that unless a child of the Thllnket tribe Is taught English by the time he Is 6 or 7 It Is impossible for him to learn the tongue afterwards, as that particular Indian dialect Is so full of gutteral and consonants. At present Mr. Cutter Is preparing, for the greatest undertaking, he has yet made, a concert tour of six months under the direction of the Lyceum Hureau of Chicago. He will start out next fall, goine an far west as Chicago, and as far eat as Xew York Mr. Cutter has claimed Portlojid as but Charles COMPANY 111 I I- r.MM' Willamette oil land To develop oil deposits ill Linn county Is the' purpose of a company I formed yesterday afternoon at Leb anon, says an Item from Albany. The ! company Includes a number of the leading business men of libation and about 40 fanners residing between Lebanon and t rahtree. This promises the most extensive movement ever undertaken to pros pect for petroleum In this county, and t' e indications of big oil deposits In the country between Lebanon and I. nib will be thoroughly tested. The new company will he Incorpor ated under the name of the Lebanon nil Milling company. At yester . 1 i meeting the following commit tee was named to form the corpora tion: Attorney Samuel M. (larland. John Criggs, C. H. Vehrs, John Mhl dlt sta It and Henry Pyle. That there Is oil In Linn county there is no doubt, but the problem to solve Is whether It exists in paying quantities. For years, indications of oil have been found in many phi cos just south of T-aeemh. and southward from that point within three miles from Lebanon. Many attempts have been made by Individuals In past years to bore for oil near Lacomb. and petroleum has always been found but no "gushers" have ever been struck. The new company promises the first systematic investigation of the county's oil resources. The company will lease lands which give Indications of containing oil. and will prospect in a scientific manner. Experts wll be secured to do ths part of the work. The farmers who have been instru mental in organizing the company have several tracts already located, where oil is believed to exist in pay ing quantities.
