| THE FULL EXHIBIT OF THE CARLISLE INDIAN SCHOOL, FOR SENATOR
DAWES' COMMITTEE ROOM.
----- The case sent off to Washington on the 9th for the Senate Indian Committee room give assurance that Carlisle is swinging the hammer, driving the plane, going through the drill of the awl and the needle, and, with it all, studying to good effect. Among the blacksmith's work is a hammer made by Arthur Elk; it is just the sort of thing one would like to bring down where he wanted to make a deep impression. Jesse Paul has also made a hammer, and Stailey a hammer head. Samuel Keryte has made his hooks and horse shoes well, but the latter can't be put to use in Washington because there is only a pair. Pincers, pliers and tongs are made by William Baird and pincers and hooks by Jesse Cornelius. Frank Locke has forged an open link. This may be the very "missing link" long sought for, the link of labor that marks the passage from the inefficiency of the brute to "The strong working hand that makes strong the working brain." The carpenter's exhibit made one wish that he were going to build a house for the sake of having such a door of cherry and walnut with beveled panels and finished by Luther Kuhns in a way to be remembered, and to have also inlaid floors as true and exquisitely fitted as the mitre pieces and the squares of Frank Jannies and John Londrosh. There was also a beautiful tabletop of walnut and ash made wholly by Wilbur Dechezin, an Apache who has been only six months at his trade, and Juan Cordero furnished the hammer handles. Charles Hood, James Paint Yellow, Phillips B. White, and Fred Harris have well made samples of tinware; while Wilkie Sharp with an instrument of the
same nature as his name, has stitched a jacket warrented to wear.

| Charley Wolf who now calls himself Chas. Williams, writes from
Idaho Territory that he has found plenty to do since he went home. He visited
the printing office at Wallowa, Oregon, one day and they were glad he could
help them for a day. They would have given him steady work and he would
have stayed but as he was offered a place with a Surveyors’ Company both
he and Jesse Paul are working at that business for a while at $40 a month.
He says one day they surveyed right through a wigwam and it made him think
of Richard Davis’ speech here when "Railroads through Indian reservations"
was up for debate.

brother who recently arrived from Alaska. The former went back to
his school on Wednesday.
---------------------------- William Paul has entered the printing office and set some of the items in this week's HELPER. He goes at this work as though he likes it, and that is the great secret of success in any lien of work. If we are interested we will generally succeed. June 2, 1899 INDIAN HELPER |
