Francis Z. Leupp, commissioner OF
Indian affairs and by virtue Of that
position the head of the Indian service
in the United States, is a visitor at
the Umatilla agency at present. He
arrived here Friday evening and while
no definite time has been announced
for his departure, it is understood
that he will be here for two or three
days longer at least.
While there is no special signifi-
ane attached to Commissioner
Leupp's visit as he says he has no
particular mission in coming, yet his
sojourn is a matter of much interest
to those connected with reservation
affairs. 1t is his first visit to the
Umatilla reservation and further
more this is probably the first time
a commissioner has ever visited the
reservation. 1t is explained that Mr..
Leupp was en- route to the Colville
reservation in Washington and that he
stopped off while on his way. He
is accompanied by his wife and
uouSHtei,
Before coming here Major McFat-
ridge was personally acquainted with
the commissioner so the two men are
not strangers. Together they have
been going over reservation matters
since Mr.. Leupp's arrival and by be-
ing on the ground the commissioner
has an opportunity to see and learn
things first hand.
While no public meeting will be
held the commissioner is ready to
meet those having business on the
and white renters or 9TH
ers desiring to see him may do so by
calling at the agency. However, his
time this afternoon was taken up with
which had accumu-
lated here.

With celebrations on the reserva-
ton, at Pilot Rock Echo, Helix and
the different mountain resorts, UNA
tilla county observed the fourth In
due style this year, even II Pendleton
did not celebrate.
At the Indian camping ground at
Cayuse hundreds of white people
gathered on the afternoon of the
Fourth to see the redmen parade.
and among those in the throng was
the Hon. Francis E. Leupp, commits
sioner OF Indian affairs.
To do honor to the head of the In
dian department, Chief No Shirt and
his braves put forth every effort and
the parade this year was even more
spectacular than III the past.
Parade and War Dance.
In order to accommodate the COM
missioner and his party the parade
was pulled off earlier than usual this
time and began about 4:30. About
100 braves were in line, decked in
their gorgeous war bonnets and they
went through the usual evolutions.
The war dance was held Immediately
after the parade.
While the paint and feather" In
dams were holding their old time
celebration at Cayuse the Christian
lied Umatillas under Rev. Cornelson
were gathered In a camp meeting just
this side of the agency. Services
were held at different times through
out the day and the occasion was en-
joyed.
At Pilot Rock.
Probably more Pendleton people
went TO Pilot Rock than to any of
the other county towns where cele-
brations were held. A special ex-
cursion train was run to the rock in
the morning and It is estimated that
400 Pendletonians went there to cele-
brate.
TIL address OF the day was by Rev.
w. II. Bleakney, president OF Pendle-
ton academy. During the afternoon
athletic contests were held. the band
played and in the evening there was
a public dance.
Returning home one train left at
the regular time in the afternoon and
the special left Pilot Rock at 10:S0.
Celebrations were also held at
Echo and at Helix. At each place
a number of PendletOn people were
present and the day was observed
with speaking, games fireworks, etc.
M0orchouse Indians at Walla Walla.
Though no special train was run to
Walla Walla because of lack of ia
cilities, many Pendletonians went to
the Garden City. to spend the Fourth.
One OF the principal features OF the
celebration there was the Indian"
troupe composed of bunch of Pen
dleton young men and three ladies.
Decked In the gorgeous finery from
the collection of Major Lee Moor
house.
The white braves made a decided |

dian maidens were Mrs. Plamondon

Miss Edna Thompson.
In the buckaroo contest at Walla
Walla the honors also went to Pen

Melvin Buck, the well-known and
daring rider from this vicinity.

list of contests, a motion was adopted
that separate subcommittee should
hear the evidence in the contests from
each state and report their conclu-
sions to the main body. 1t was de-

The committee adjourned until 4

sidered.
Following is a full list of contests
Idaho, the entire delegation; Illinois,
first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth,

Grounds of the contests range from
"irregularity' to allegations of

Pacific Coast Divided.
There will be no effort made by
the Pacific coast delegation favoring
the anti-injunction plank, The dele
CATION is willing to discuss the Japan
ese exclusion plank which stands no
chance of being seriously considered,
but is silent on antinjunction.
The majority of the California and
Washington delegates as there ought
to be some change in the injunction
procedure. but that 1t should be a
conservative change. The Washing
ton delegation is out for a safe, sane
and harmless anti-injunction plank
Thomas J. Casey of Seattle, secretary
of Seattle, secretary of the Bryan vol
unteers, is fighting for the plank that
labor wants. Casey says Charles G.
Heifner, member of the Washing
ton delegation and a Seattle politician,
is working hard against labor inter-
ests. Heifner says he is out for a
modified plank, but does not want the
power of injunction destroyed.
