On Friday, May 26, the second annual historical pageant depicting the development of the country drained by the Columbia and its reaches, will be presented in Quenett park at The Dalles by an organiza tion made up of public spirited citi lens interested in reproducing with exactness the legend and history of the past. Last year It was estimated that more than 6 0 00 persons viewed the pageant from the sides of the natural amipitheater In which it wa staged. This year it is being enlarged on and polished off in the anticipation of a crowd of at least 7500, and perhaps more. The legendary scenes will open about 4:30 in the afternoon and last until dusk. Indian mythology, as it describes the transformation of two chiefs, suitors for a woman's hand, into Mount Hood, and the resultant destruction of the Bridge of the Gods by Sah-a-lee Ty-ee, the great spirit, will be closely followed. Gray's Entry to Be Depicted. The historical scenes will open with the entry of Captain Robert Gray into the mouth of the Columbia river. Then, in smooth sequence, will fol low the Lewis and Clark expedition; the arrival of Hudson bay trappers and Dr. John McLoughlin. The build ing of The Dalles, Methodist mission; the arrival of Daniel and Jason Lee in 1834; sermons preached from pulpit rock, still standing as a marker for the original site of the first Indian mission, all will be mordantly por trayed with historical exactness in costumes of the times. Then will come the Whitman party. The founding of St. Peter's mission and the arrival of Lieutenant John C. Fremont, "the pathfinder," in the spring of 1843, with the first wagon train to roll into The Dalles, com pletes the historical incidents of the pageant. Indians to Be Feature. By-plays of Indians, of whom theie will be more than 100 from the Warm Springs reservation, dressed in their finest, will be one of the big features of the spectacle.

The pageant was written by Mrs. Lulu D. Crandall, herself a pioneer of Wasco county. John Will will act as director, Miss Imogene Seaton will have charge of the legendary parts and Robert Murray will act as gen eral field director. ; Arrangements are being made to have the Columbia river highway, under construction between here and Mosier, open so that visitors may get through without trouble on the day of the pageant. , Arrangements will be made to care for visitors in private homes when hotel accommodations are unavail able.
