the letter, which follows:
La Grande, Oregon. Aug. 24.
. Dear Sir: There is an appalling
neglect on the part of the voters to
register. We, as committeemen, muy
properly urge the voters In our re
spective precincts to look after V-
important duty. No voter can paid
( ipate in the primary election ui'e-f
he has registered. We are to have a pri
mary election on the 24th of Septem
ber. The people will nominate the
ticket to be voted at the general elec
tion. It will be their nominations and
their primary so why will they not
think enough of this important factor
to Qualfy themselves to take part In
it.
Please urge your neighbors to reg
ister at puce. ' Only one third of the
voters of this county have registered
to date. If we are to take the proper
position in the affairs of the state, we
must as a people qualify ourselves by
registering.
Please urge upon the republican
to do nothing in working for the can
didates of thier choice, ln nominating
them, that will make it Impossible for
them to consistently help the ticket
when nominated. This is important.
Let the slogan be: "Vote for your

the other day when the three Indian
tribes on the Umatilla reservation.

mously decided to participate In the
frontier celebration. Major Lee Moor-
house and Roy T. Bishop, chairman of
the Indian committee, assisted by Ma
jor- Swartzlander. Indian agent,, were
present at the fcouncii'and succeeded
in arousing the enthusiasm of the red
men over the coming event. Chiefs
Umaplne of the Cayuse, No Shirt of
the Walla Wallas and Amos Pond of
the Umatillas all addressed their
tribesmen in favor of the proposition
with the result that when, the matter
was put to a vote, there was not a
dissenting vote.
The Indians are to be allowed a cer
tain portion of the exhibition grounds
and it is estimated that there will be
over a hundred tepees In this village.
The parades, which will be one of the
special features of the celebration,
will be things of dignity and every
attempt will be made to makj them
suggestive of the native American of
by-gone days rather than of the mod
ern remnant. War dances will be put
on each evening and pony races and
tribal games will be held during the
day.
