MEASLES ON RESERVATION.
Sick Ones Prohibited From Taking
Part in Celebration.

Owing to the prevalence of measles
on the reservation, the school at the
agency has been closed for the sum-
mer, and all of the children sent
home. excepting six who have the
malady and are still retained at the
agency pending their recovery. The
parents of the sick children protest
ed strongly to Major McKoin when
he ordered that they should be kept
there until they were well, for they
wished to take their offspring with
them to the encampment, and appar-
emily did not realize that doing so
would expose the entire tribe to the
disease. However, they finally acqui-
esced in the action of the superinten-
dent.

Protesting Lloyd,s Appointment.

Rectors Of five Episcopal churches
of oregon, including Rev. Henry
Dixon Jones, of the Church of the
Redeemer have signed a protest
against the immediate appointment
of Rev. F. E. ]. Lloyd to be coad-
jutor to Bishop Morris, of Oregon.
One of the causes of the protest is
that Lloyd is not a graduate of OK
ford as at first was supposed. 1t is
likely the matter will be held in
allegiance until the diocese of Oregon
can act upon it.

SANE FOURTH OF JULY.
Only Ten persons-All Drunks-in Po-
lice Court Today.

Yesterday was as sane" a Fourth
in Pendleton as the moust nervous
could have desired. There was little
on the streets during the most of the
day to disturb the harmony, and Main
street simmered in the glare of the
hot sun with only now and then a
struggling drunk, or some one who
did not know the "firecracker limits
to keep the police busy.
In the police court this morning
only 10 were arraigned for drunken
ness, and many of these were Indians.
They were all given the usual IS or
three days. Two others who sought
to observe the day by indulging in a
fight were each charged with disor-
derly conduct and forfeited $40 bail.

Great Day at Adams.
Probably the greatest celebration
held in this county by any of the towns
yesterday was the one at Adams, It
being almost If not the only celebra-
ton that place has ever held by it.
self. Yesterday hundreds gathered
there from the surrounding country,
and the day was fittingly observed in
the real old-fashioned way.
In the forenoon program was held
at which the address of the day was
delivered by Hon. w. R. Ellis.
The "Star Spangled Banner" was
beautifully sung by Miss Winnie Geiss,
while the Declaration of Independence
was read by Miss Daitson Mcintyre.
Another fine feature of the program
was a drill by a number of children
which was led by Miss Lulu Lieual-
len, the Goddess of Liberty. Several
selections were also given by chorus.
Commencing at 10 o'clock barbe-
cue was served until two in the af-
ternoon, and it was pronounced by
those who partook of it to have heen
one of the finest in the history of
Eastern Oregon.
In the afternoon a ball game was
played between teams from Athena
and Adams. At tn end of the eighth
inning the score stood 13 to 10 in
favor of the home team, but as all of
the balls had been worn out or lost,
the game was called off and declared
a tie.
During the early part of the game
James Wilkes, one of the Adams out
field, was hit in the head by a pitched
ball while at the bat and knocked
unconscious, from which 1t took him
six hours to recover. His place was
taken by DIR. Fred Lieuallen, who up
to that time had acted as umpire.
Following the game number OF
races were pulled off and in the eve-
ming a grand ball was held.
Quite a number of Pendleton people
attended the exercises at Adams, many
of them driving there from the reser-
walton.
Eagle Screamed at Ukiah.
Residents from Camas Prairie and
all over the southern end of the coun-
, ty gathered for the Fourth yesterday
at Ukiah, where the day was observ'

{ forenoon a program consisting OF
songs, the reading of the Declaration
of Independence was rendered. The

At Presbyterian Mission.

The Indians of the Presbyterian
mission celebrated the Fourth with
feasting and good cheer and it was a
most enjoyable event for all who par
ticipated.
AS is the usual custom of these In
dians, they erected their tepees in the
church yard, near large bower,
where the feast was spread, and such
a bounteous feast it was. all prepared
by the Indians and with great pride
The dinner consisted of calf and
lamb cooked in true barbecue fashion
an abundance of salmon, cowitZ, Bit
ter root, pie and cake.
When all had eaten to their hearts
content, addresses were made in Eng
lish by Roy Raley and C. B. Sampson
and in Indian by Albert Minthorn and
Jim Kashkash. The first of the In
dams in his address, referred to the
fact that only a comparative few
years ago the whites and red men
were strangers to each other and
enemies, but today they are united
and living under one flag, and one
government and dwell in peace and
harmony, each working to help the
other. That today the Indians ate
at the white mans table and the
white man accepted the Indians in
vitation to dine.
Mr.. Kashkash spoke on the bring
ing up of the Indian children to be
good and honorable citizens. He
said the dividing line between the
whites and Indians was passing away
and that the uncivilized Indian was
thing of the past. He urged upon
all parents to look after the bringing
up of the children in the Christian
faith and the Importance of their be-
ing good men and women.
Kackimas, an aged Indian, acted as
master of ceremonies and the ell
ders of the church, Amos Pond, AL

The crop report for August /

tiOnal wheat crop. Two months ago
the governments report indicated that
the crop of winter and spring wheat
would total 670.O0O,0O0 bushels, thus
equaling the crop of 1902, which was
the largest in the history of the Unit
ed States with one eXception-that of
the year 1901, when the wheat fields
yielded the marvellous total of 14S,00O,-
00O bushels. Now the report indicates
that the crop viii probably be at least
$50 900 600 bushels, and may reach
o0.ooo.ooO. For winter wheat alone
the agricultural department estimates

road, to be found in another column is
of more than usual significance and
importance. Mr.. Calkins' position in
the great road he represents. and one
that will eventually build through to
the Pacific coast, renders his state
ments of an authoritative character.
Like all railroad officials, Mr. Calkins
is guarded in his speech as to the
future building operations. but the en-
thusiasm with which he speaks of this
country gives assurance that when his
road builds through Montana, it will
not overlook the possibilities of the
great Judith basin. Being connected
with the freight department, he has
his eye on tonnage, the greatest
source of business to all western roads
Shrewd and far-seeing, this region has
proved revelation to him upon his

say that Mr. Calkins will carry a gOo<

LEWISTOWN, MONT, Aug. %, 1870;
THE MAN WITH A GUN.

The peace of Lewistown has been
disturbed once more by the man with
a gun. Fortunately, again. no one
was killed, though wound was H.
fiicted, showing the deadly intent OF
the man with the weapon. AS usual,
the shooting was the outcome OF a
quarrel in which poor whisky was a
contributing agency.
Whatever the provocation or the
facts in this case, the habit OF car
rylng and using a gun is becoming
intolerable in this community. Some
one should be held responsible for the
conditions that prevail here. There
was a time when man could give
some valid excuse for carrying a
gun in Montana. but that day has
long since passed, especially in set
tied communities. The gun man OF
today is one who is looking for trouble
and places little value on a human
life.
The practice of carrying concealed
weapons is becoming too common In
the large cities and the press and the
authorities are urging that such an
offense be made punishable by i'm
Drisonment. The Chicago Record
Herald in recent editorial on this
class of offenders, among other things
says:

country most needs to get rid of II
time of peace.
THE man with the gun is the mai
for whom crime is made easy. Crime
ought not to be made easy. Ii ough
to be made hard. A community tina
deliberately lets crime be made cas-,
is stupid community

practical men who spend their day

Men like jerome and Folk and lik'
Police Commissioner McAdoo. of New

OF concealed weapons be made punish

have hard common sense
