East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1906-04-07

OF outsiders to urge Indians to sell
heirship lands would be futile. there
is hope that the Indians themselves
may eventually bring about a change.
The Umatilla Improvement league,
which was recently organized by Ma
jor Edwards, was for the general pur-
pose of bettering the conditions of the
Indians, Only allottes can belong,
and 1t is dominated by the educated
class of Umatillas. These Indians
have more use for the whites and
their methods than do the blanket In
dians, and perhaps some day they will
favor the sale of inherited lands to
white settlers.
Important to Pendleton.
Certain 1t is that the selling of
heirship lands is an important matter
to Pendleton, as through sales white
men may secure permanent farms on
the reservation.
There are now 500 inherited tracts,
| and as many allottees are now getting
old, this number VIII be rapidly in
creased. If it were possible to pur-
chase inherited lands from the Indi-
ans, way would be opened for the
settlement of the reservation, which
has been Pendleton's prayer fol-
years.

The ice people claim that the shrink
age in transporting ice from the Ken

the hot weather has been SO large that il

When the ice was discharged few days
later it weighed only $50 tons.

Many people in Paris are tro ubled
with the symptoms of offensive catarrh
which usually appears at this season Of

Before the disease becomes chronic use
Hyomei and get complete relief from

from catarrh and far less susceptible to
coughs and colds during the winter.
There is no stomach dosing with Hyo-

At the close of September, 1905, there
were more children attending the Port
land public schools than ever before in
the history of the city. The returns
from all the schools have now been re-
ceived at the Office of Superintendent
Brownson, and there are actually at
tending the schools now 145 more pupils
than there were at the beginning of last
year. This seems to indicate, beyond a
doubt, that Portland is growing steadily
from year to year. The total enrolment
is S27S as against S133 q year ago.

The Ean.Ian,, OPENING Night.

In the basement Of Bowker's Block,
the Fan-Tan Club of South Paris has
recently been fitting up q club room in
which to hold its jolly meetings. This
club room was first used last Friday
evening, when gentlemen's night was
observed by the club. 1t had also been
intended to have the affair farewell re-
ception to Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Hilton,
who are about to move from town, (Mrs.
Hilton being a member of the club), but
as the Hiltons were away for few
days and were unable to return in time,
this feature of it was omitted.
A party of about forty assembled at
the cozy and attractive rooms of the
club Friday evening. The first part of
the evening was occupied with whist
and other games, there being five tables
of whist. The hostesses of the evening
justified the declared purpose of the
club by continual serving of both light
and substantial refreshment.
About half-pa nine play was sus-
pended. and refreshments were served,
consisting of sandwiches, salad, dough
nuts and cheese, coffee, etc. The lunch
was followed by varied and interesting
entertainment, including some highly
entertaining original specialties by
members of the club, history of the
club by the president, Mrs. Roxie
McArdle, etc. A. e. Morse gave a
selection, and George A. Briggs sang
some amusing songs. Three cheers
were given by the Fan-Tans for G.. W.
Bowker and three for I. e. Andrews,
both of whom had assisted in providing
the club room, and at the close the gen.
tlemen gave three hearty cheers for the
Fan-Tans.
The Fan-Tan Club had its origin in
party of fourteen ladies who spent few
days at Camp Owsley two years ago.
The name has no reference to the
Chinese gambling game, as the one who
bestowed the name upon the club did
not even know there was such a game,
but had heard the name, and applied its
rythm in connection with the fan hats
worn by the campers. By later addi-
tons, the number of members has
grown to twenty-six, including three |
Juveniles, and the very lively and enter |
tanning sessions of the club, most of
which are limited strictly to members,
are famous. The only declared purpose
Of the club is the increase of the capac-
ty of the human stomach.
Excellent work has been done by the
club in decorating and furnishing its
club room. Around the top of the walls
s a cOrnice of fancy paper fans, and be-
ow this are number of the fan hats
rom which the name of the club was
evolved. Numerous pictures are hung
IN the walls, and there is carpet on
he floor, an organ in the corner, and
,ood supply of tables, comfortable
chairs, and other furniture. A cooking
tove furnishes heat, as we'll as the ma
hinery for preparing an essential part
# the club programmes, and there is
.ood supply of all kind of culinary APP
,aratus. 1t makes an attractive place
or club headquarters, and the friends of
he Fan Tans will wish them great
q any pleasant occasions there.
