INDIANS HOLD
sun WORSHIP FESTIVAL

Missoula, July 3.--For the first
time in the history Of the Flathead
Indian tribe, n thousand strong, will
celebrate the sun worship festival.
The Thanksgiving and dance of death
and big pow-wow will be held at Saint
lgnatius mission on the Flathead res
ervation, Monday BY a curious
trick of fate they will sing their own
swan song on the anniversary of the
signing of the declaration of inde-
pendence by their palefaced conquer
ers. This is the first time the indian
tribe has acknowledged the hopeless
ness of the tribal government.
For centuries the Indians have OBJ
served an annual worship of the sun.
The ceremony has occupied several
days. Monday the last dance will be
given. Ten chieftaips met in sol
emn conclave today and decided that
with the opening of their hunting
grounds to the white homesteaders
by the government this summer they
will abolish the tribe intact The de-
cislon is history making.

Colfax, Wash, July 3.-Investiga-
ton today by Coroner Bruning and
Deputy Sheriff Cole into the murder
mystery uncovered near Winona
Tuesday. leads the officers to believe
that the skeleton found in the grave
on the Throp farm in the Rock
Creek hills, is that of a Scotchman
by the name of Mckenzie. who mys-
teriously disappeared from his sheep
farm near Winona over 80 years ago;
and although exhaustive search was
made no trace was ever secured. The
first clue TO the supposed murder
received lst Sunday by II. c. Thropp
and Frank Moore. when Louy.
former employe of Thropp, informed
them that a murder had been COM
mitted in the couse occupied by
T'ropp. and volunteered to show them
where the victim had been buried.
Guides Men TO Grave.
Louy guided them to mound on
the canyon wall above Rock creek.
which he said was the grave. and
then left them and passed on over the
hill. The men dug into the mound,
but could find nothing and FINALLY
gave It up and started in search of
Louy. After following his tracks for
a short distance they came upon an.
other mound where Louy had evil
den'ly stopped for some time before
leaving Their curiosity aroused by
this, they dug into it and about two
feet from the surface unearthed a hu-
man skeleton. several shreds Of a blue
coat a pipe. a belt buckle, and sew
,ral metal buttons. all in a good state
of preservation.
The coroner and sheriff were noti-
led ana upon visiting the grave,
'ouni everything as reported by
rhroop and Moore.

No Wheat Contracted
So far the buyers have not been
quoting any prices but with the open
ing Of harvest it is believed that the
selling will commence. There seems
to be a great uncertainty as to how
the market will open, but the growers,
are very optimistic and
most Of them in this county declare
they will hold their wheat for one
dollar per bushel. Some say they
will not even contract in advance for
that figure. SO far as can be ascer-
tained not a bushel of wheat has been
contracted fer in this vicinity at any
price.

Judging from present appearances
and barring unforeseen and improb-
able catastrophies, this is to be one
of the most prosperous years in the
history of Umatilla county. On top
of a good wool clip and high prices
for sheep as well as for wool, cattle
and horses, there now comes pros
poets of an average yield of wheat,
better prices than have prevailed for
many years. How long the present
high prices are to continue remains
to be seen, but it is believed they will
prevail throughout the season.
few weeks ago it was generally
reported and believed that not more
than half crop would be harvested in
the county and that in many sections
there would be almost absolute fail

wrought, however, for in no part of
Umatilla county will there be fail
ure while in the vicinity Of Athena

ber that will yield 40 bushels or bet

With Old Sol showing the mercury
well up toward the 100 mark and
with the thousands Of people sizzling
and swelterfng. though happy, Pen
dleton's Fourth OF July celebration
was most auspiciously opened this
morning with the much heralded
parade. The big event had been
scheduled TO start from the fair pa
vilion at 1890. but It was several
minutes after that hour before the
long line was finally set in motion.
Headed by the lady riders, the pro-
cession wended its way down Main
street to Court. up Court past the
court house and back to Main by
way OF Lewis and Water and then
to the pavilion. where the literary
exercises were started, Thousands
of people lined the sidewalks and
were generous with their applause
as the different features OF the pa
rade passed by.
Cheers for Lady Riders
Possibly the. lady riders with, their.
White waists. black skirts and pl'anc-
ing chargers were the recipients of
but II Is doubtful. The decorated au-
tomobiles were all beautiful. and the
judges will have their hands fun when
II comes TO making the awards. The
other features of the parade were also
successfully carried out
Following the completion Of the
parade. that portion of the crowd
that so desired repaired to the fair
pavilion to hear the Grafton by Judge

the other numbers on the program. !
Miss Mytlene Fraker, the popular |
contralto soloist, won additional lau-
rels by the manner in which she rem |
dered several numbers. each of which |
was greeter with prolonged applause.
Cavalry Band Is Popular.
The famous Fourteenth cavalry
band, which really opened the cele-
bration with a street concert last eve-
ming, was also cheered to the echo
for the numbers rendered at the
opening and closing of the literary
program. This musical organization
was here two years ago and evidently
has not deteriorated any in that
length Of time. The concert last eve
ming was especially enjoyed because

The Poorest is Good.


Even in the Pilot Rock country
where it was thought that the farm
ers had just as we'll plow up their
stand, fairly good yield Of wheat
will be harvested. while the barley
crop, now being threshed, is much
heavier and of better quality than
last year. The same is true in the
light land sections of the west end
Of the county where harvesting will
be started next week and where Yields
Of from Is to % bushels per acre are
expected.
Because Of the lack of moisture
this spring the straw, as a general
thing, is shorter than usual, but on
very stalk there is head and every
head is filled. Even the shortest
'nes which hardly reach above the
boot are filled clear to the top. The
berry is also plump and it is believed
hat a greater percentage of the crop
han usual will test No. 1.
Not So Much Smut
Smut, which prevailed to such
,reat extent last year is not nearly so
'ad this year though in spots it will
ut down the yield materially. There
re also fewer weeds this year than
ommon
The great difficulty which the har-
esters will probably have to con-
end with is the uneavenoss of the |
tand. This is the more noticeable |
ere because it is an unusual con-
ition for this county.
Universal surprise and astonish-
nent is expressed however at the
manner in which the wheat has de-
eloped during the past few weeks
'ithout any moisture whatever. II
, attributed altogether to the cool
Gather which has prevailed through
ut eastern Oregon. Coming at the
ritical time it did. the grains Of wheat
ere enabled to develop to the fullest
ltent, absorbing all the strength Of
lie entire plant, thus accounting for
lie short growth of straw.
Financial Returns Big.
Since last year, with three-fourths
n crop, the farmers by reason of
lie high prices received as great re-
rms financially as usual this year
ith practically full crop and pri-
IS nearly is higher it is evident that

For example, when you ask for DIR.

For many years we have watched
