'"The Cayuse Indian language is
lost" said Charles Wilkins, who for
the past nine years has been agent on
the Umatilla Indian reservation, to
the East Oregoniap. "The language
spoken exclusively by all the Indians
on the Umatilla reservation is the
Nez Perce. But one or two old
squaws remember any part of the
beautiful Cayuse tongue, which was
once the only language spoken by the
tribes occupying the present bound
aries and location of the Umatilla res
ervation.
THE Cayuses were once the proud
est and most prominent tribe in the
West and from time immemorial their
home has been on the Umatilla river,
from the agency to Bingham Springs.
Their language was one of the great
Independent Indian tongues, separate
and distinct from any other Indian
language. Most of the other Western
tribes had a language transmitted
from some eastern or southern tribe,
and had no pure tribal tongue, as had
the Cayuses. The Cayuse anguage
was one of the original Indian
tongues, equal in age and purity to
that of the Iroquois, in the East, or
the Cherokee in the. South.
"The Walla Wallas and Umatillas
liyed on the. Columbia river near WAL
lula and the mouth of the Umatilla
river. and had not pure tribal
tongue, but spoke mongrel Ian
guageg made up from all the tribes
with which they had come i'm contact.
:, sFiBaIly after the union of the
tribes. and their confinement on the
6pe reservation, and their intermar-
riage and association with the Nez
Perces that language became the uni
versal Language among them. The
evkt Perces are nearly all cousins to
the umatillas of today. They are
very friendly and are widely inter-
married 80 is-iF 80.
There are perhaps but two or
three. very old squaws who now re-
member a few words of the original
Cayuse tongue, and they never use
that language, but converse altogether
in the Nez Perez
In speaking of Joseph, the Nez
Perce chief who recently died, Mr..
wilkins said, Joseph was a trouble
maker, wherever he was located. He
was opposed to schools and wanted
the Indians to go back to their orig
inal savage customs. His sole ambi-
ton In trying to secure the Wallowa
valley was to establish a home for
himself and followers on the original
Indian plan, where they would be
free from the restrictions of the
whites"
Mr.. wilkins owns a most beautiful
elk tooth. presented to him by Joseph
several years ago. when the old chief
made visit to the Umatilla agency
and was entertained by Mr.. wilkins.

WILL ORGANIZE SOON.
Debating Society VIII Follow Ath-
letics Closely.

"One game of football each week
until thanksgiving" said City Su-
perintendent e. B. Conklin to the
East Oregonian today, land then the
season will close and the excess ener-
gies of the school boys will be ex-
pended on our debating society, in
which we hope to develop some win
ming debaters this winter. Growing
and enthusiastic boys have so much
energy and enthusiasm to expend
and if that is not directed rightly it
is too apt to go wrong, and while
schoolboys are playing football on
Saturdays, they are not learning bad
habits nor forming wrong associa-
tions on the Streets"
The high school debating society
will be organized soon, probably be-
fore the football season ends, and
some good work is expected this
winter. The assembly hall is now oc-
cupied as school rooms and it is i'm
possible to use the room for pur-
poses of entertainment. Some ar
rangements will be made soon, by
which assembly hall can be fitted up
for the evening meetings.
Among those who will compose the
debating team this winter are Glen
Scott, Dave Hill. Orville Reeves,
Frank Pierce George Strand, Fred
Milne, Edgar Smith, Furnish Slater
and Others
These boys have all had excellent
training in debating and the high
school hopes to carry off some of the
argumentative and oratorical honors
to be distributed during the school
year. No program or schedule of
contests is yet arranged.
