At a regular meet ing Of the Red
men Tuesday evening, 1t was decided
to accept the invitation extended by
the fair committee to attend in a body,
and the Redmen decided 10 get up
complimentary parade for the fair
which will certainly be credit to the
order, and no doubt will be a big
drawing card for the fair.
1t was a very enthusiastic meeting
that the Redmen held Tuesday night
and plans by the dozen were sug-
gested and discussed, which finally
ended by the general committee De-
ing appointed, and also sub-commit-
tee.
The general committee consists OF
the following: Dozier, Matlock, Pow
ers, and Boggart. Judge FitzGerald'
who is also secretary of the Order or
Redmen, will undoubtedly act in con-
junction with the Redmen as repre-
sentative of the fair committee.
A. C. Koeppen had been asked to
take charge of the parade, and during
the meeting a short recess was declar-
ed and Mr.. Koeppen came up to the
meeting, and gave a general outlip
oe what he would suggest in the way
of a parade and he was appointed to
assist the general committee and pa
rade committee.
The parade committee held meet
ing at Koeppen Bros. drug store last
evening, and plan of procedure was
adopted. and unless something unfore-
seen happens, or the funds for this de-
partment are insufficient, there Is no
question but that novel parade Will
be held. such as has never been held
in Pendleton, as 1t is the intention of
the parade committee to have every
thing in connection with the parade

other parade There will be real Red
men. and as red as you have never
seen them before. The noble redmen
as he was in the past, as he is now
(gradually fading away, and the flu
ture noble redman. Undoubtedly a
tableau representing the different
stages of the downfall of the redman
and his future prospects will be seen
in the parade. There will be novelties
and surprises by the dozen, but il is
the intention of the parade committee
to keep the surprises dark" But
rest assured that the surprises will be
in the parade, and you are going to
miss something If you do not see it,,
and the big war dance in the pavilion
afterwards.
Mr.. Koeppen requests all Redmen to
call at Koeppen Bros. drug store some
time between now and Sunday to get
the general plan of procedure, and
such other information as the Red
man who has any special work to do.
will require and to report to Mr.,
Koeppen a list of any Indian articles
that could be used in the parade, and
that they would be willing to loan to
the parade committee for that even
ing. Some of the different stunts
to be pulled off that night will prob
ably be limited at in the papers from
day to day, but there will be so much
that will not appear in print that it
will be worth the price of admission
to only see the parade, not saying
about what will happen af-
ter you get inside of the big pavilion
as Tuesday, Redmen's night, will be
the real" opening night.
