SIlETZ

Mr.. and Mrs. Fred w. Freeman left
for their lone in Tacoma, Washing
ton, Saturday. They had been visit
ing with Mr.. Freeman's mother, Mrs
Baldwin Fairchild. Freddie Freeman
was born on Siletz and attended the
Government school at the Agency
and from here he entered the school
at Chemawa graduating from that
school in 1907. While at School he
learned the tailors trade and follows
that business to the present time.
From Chemawa he went to the Cush-
man school at Tacoma, Washington,
as an employee and remained in the
service for rs years. Here he met
and married his wife. She was a
teacher in the school and a stenog.
rapher. He was in the school so long
he became part of it and was noted
for his industry and attention to busi-
ness. He was also q good musician
and was vice-president OF the Musi-
clan Union at Tacoma, where he now
lives. He owns a forty acre farm
near the city. This farm is set to
berries, mostly strawberries and rasp-
berries. He keeps the farm rented
and lives in the city where he can
follow his trade and send his children
to school. Thty have two children,
a girl and boy aged 10 and IA years
respectively. The boy is only II but
he enters high school this fall. The
girl whose name is Prudence, Is learn
ing the tailors trade from her father.
Freddie Freeman, as he is known here
by the home people, has made good.
He and his wife stand high in the es.
timation Of his friends and neighbors
and the business world. He Is q
member of the Improved Redmen's
Lodge and has passed through all the
chairs. After leaving Siletz he was
thrown on his own resources and
never came back to live here. BY
honesty. industry and perseverance,
he has made his way and has attained
the high position he now occupies by
his own efforts. His mother is an
Indian woman and his father a white
man but Freddie Freeman is not
ashamed of his Indian blood. What he
has accomplished can be done by
others if they only try. Mr.. and Mrs.
Freeman and their two children came
to Siletz in their own cara REQ
costing S2160 and it is paid for. The
success of Freddie Freeman ought to
be an inspiration to others who wish
to excel in lifes battles.
Jess Daniels started out Friday
with the big truck loaded with rs
hop pickers and their baggage. The
roads were a bit slippery as it had
rained some during the day. The
pickers were going to the hop fields
near Independence. On leaving Cor
wallis Jess had blowout. This de-
layed him and added something to
the bill Of expense. But 1t was soon
fixed and he went on his way. When
a political meeting blows out 1t don't
amount to much but when an auto
tire blowsout 1t amounts to a good
deal and always delays.
Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. Chandler have
