The owners of a shoe repair
shop in Bend recently came
across an interesting old photo
graph. The photo is of Indian youth
working on shoes at a training
school in Forest Grove.
The photograph was found
with a cover envelope (photo at
lower right) inscribed with the
following brief explanation of
the picture:
"Indian Training School, For
est Grove, Oregon. Capt. M.C.
Wilkinson, U.S.A. in charge."
Wilkinson was a well-know in
structor at the time.
The owners of the shop in
Bend, Doug and Helen Bird,
have given the photograph to
the Confederated Tribes.
They sent the picture to the
Natural Resources Branch,
which will be forwarding the item
to the museum.
Doug and Helen Bird own
and operate the No-D-Lay shoe
repair shop on Greenwood in
Bend.
Doug explained that not too
long ago, one of his customers
came in with the photograph.
