Dancing for husbands.
Pendleton East oregonian.

Fendltton East Oregonian.
Several Pendletonians went on Wednes-
day to the Indian celebration above the
government school. They found a hnge
oblong wigwam, probably seventy-five feet
in length. In the interior was gathered a
motley tlIroug, and around the center mats
and skins were arranged for the spectators
to squat upon.
Soon dance began to the sound of
weird and inhsrmonious music from the
Siwash 'band" 1t seemed to be a sort of
love dance. 1t was the part of yonng
squaws who wanted husbands to go for
ward within the circle and perform the
various queer movements which constitute
Indian dancing. If the appearance of anv
one OF them struck a brave favorably he
would join her. thus indicating his desire
to become her husband. Several of the
dusky maidens received no such advances
and seemed much wounded in pride and
feelings.

THE TAXES.

The issuing OF the new tax book and an
examination Of the same hsyo thorous hly
aroused all classes OF taxpayers through
out the city. Even a cursory Wv OF 1t
gives us the impression that The most
unjust discrimination has been exercised
by the Assessors and that their power has
been welded as a club to iniure the ene-
mics OF the individual members OF the
boar and to benefit their friends.
We have had heretofore occasion to
notice the doings and the workings OF
the board, and while what II has done
may be all right, its acts were certainly
shady and appeared to be Of character
that called for the severest criticism. So
far as its work is concerned for the pres
ent year, even the business men, let alone
the politicians, have been aroused by the
peculiar methods employed and the
strange and startling di examinations
revealed by the tax book. The complaint
has heretofore been made OF this very
thing. It now comes to the door II many
in the community and the people are
alarmed.
When this thing is not oniy demo .ced
as unjust and gross wrong it shows that
there is ground for complaint. Why 10
this discrimination made, anG made just
at this time? Why have TIC assessors
made such an increase in the vslce ~ the
property OF some and no. in that Of
Others? Is 1t fagrant and unblushing
use OF power which has been exercised
again and again?
The people should remcmoer this gres
injustice especially at this time when
times are hard and money scarce. Il
would be all very well to rs;se taxes In
fush times, but there is q Lard Winter
ahead and their are many who cannot pay
their taxes this year, as usual.
There isn't voter in The city, we think,
who ought not to cast his vote for those
who will pledge themselves TO rid the
city OF this board.
