The ; fact 'that ' Pendleton Is not 1 to celebrate has lent renewed enthusiasm to the Indians, as It means there will be no divided Interest, and, no, divided attendance except among themselves." It also means ; that the whites In large numbers .-from 'this city, and ' surround ing country will avail themselves of the opportunity to view the fast dis appearing Indian in what Is more near-J ly hie primal state than he is to - be seen et any other time. -And whatever may be said of the Indians' likes and dislikes, ha delights In being the- whole show when he is on his own ground. ' The Christian Indians have selected a camping - place near the site of the old agency, as their celebrations 'always continue for many days, instead of for only one.
