wairiors who have been chiefs and
h.ail men of their people for K--"'r-
at ions.
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

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

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.
