Dories were smashed to kindling

One of these was the ‘‘^ena’

ENROLLMENT IS NEARING 1,000
, | MARK; 60 MEMBERS ON THE
t ; FACULTY
j KODIAK, Dec., 6, (Special to the
11 Gateway)—Because of the fact
: that a number of the native youths
and maidens of Kodiak and the
Westward are students at the Sal
: jem Indian School at Chemawa,
; Ore., the doings at that big insti
tution are keenly watched by par
ents of this town. Letters from their
off-spririg are passed around^ and
I eagerly scanned, while the school
'publication, the Chemawa Ameri
'can, is successively handled until
it is worn out.
! According to the yearly hand
book, school opened at Chemawa
on October 1, 1885, Chemawa has
continued to grow and from a stu
dent body of 18, and an employe
force of three or four has grown to
■an enrollment of 750 students and
a faculty of 60; and from a few
crude buildings to 77 buildings of
| modern type.
| The meaning of the name Chem
awa has been questioned but it is
| generally understood .to mean
“Happy Home’', and to thousands
| of Indian children it has been more
| than a happy home.
In a recent issue of the Chemawa
[American received by Mrs. Christ
; Liete who has sent three of her
children there, some clever things
are printed which are deemed
worthy of republication, as for in
stance a few excerpts from “Arrows
From the Long Bow":
Doubt always travels on snow
{shoes.
| The Pale face’s arm is longer
than his word.
| When the fox walks lame, old
rabbit jumps.
A squaw’s tongue runs faster
(than the wind’s legs.
Before the Pale face came there
was no poison in the Indian’s corn.
| The Indian takes his dog to
Heaven; the Pale face sends his I
brother to Hell.
There will be no hungry Pale- I
faces as long as there are Indian
lands to swallow.
There is also an interesting little
poem in the number written by
Rosalia Grounds, a Chemawa stu- j
dent, entitled:
GET ’UM SHEEPSKIN
Lieutenant Wilkinson came to
Oregon,
Found the Indian need new
knowledge:
Built big school in Willamette
Valley,

From Idaho, Washington, Cali

And from that hot New Mexico!
First the Indian get much home

Too much books and too much
rules.
Want go back to lodge and blan

Some day he give out “sheep

Humph! Got sheep ranch in

Some go home and then they j

We fight on, all way thru bravely;
Now we want ’um—-Big Sheep

HOUSTON, Dec., 6, (/P)—An aUr
plane engine of only 21 working
parts, about 1-1 Oth as many as in
jan ordinary engine, has been built
land tested in flight by two Houston
| inventors.
j The engine, called the “Hurri
cane” Its backers say, approaches
the ultimate in simplicity of con
struction. It weighs 225 pounds, de
velops 50 horsepower and requires
an average of seven gallons of gas
oline an hour. Its designers, H. F.
Lyons and Victor Toce, say it can
be built more cheaply than engines
now in general use.
