The annual outing season of tbe Columbia river Indians is approaching and numerous roving bands are passing through Heppner up the easv grade caused by the water course of Willow creek. These Siwashes are true to principles and customs handed down from the forefathers. The buck is the head of the family and is the ruler supreme of the household. They are not to be disgraced or degraded with labor. It is not an uncommon sight to see a buck astride of his cayuse, with the squaw trudging along behind afoot with a big load on her back. With the roving bands that paBS through here, their wealth is counted by ponies. When they move all of their worldy possessions are tied onto the cayuses and the Indian leaves nothing behind to bother with. The approach of sum mer is looked to with great satisfaction by the Siwashes. It means grub, and grub means luxury. The mountains furnish fish and game and redmen come out in the fall with fat ponies ami are fat themselves. sonic cemetery near this city today fcy the I. O. O.
