Miller Grocery Co. 636 Main Street Phone Main 511 Buffalo -'BUI Said They Were Most Magnificent Type of Western In dlans Gala Day In Pendleton Ev ery Saturday. The Umatilla Indians are gradually passing, says Paul Delaney in the Oregon Daily Journal. The grave is claiming them rapidly, and those spared from this destination are be ing scattered and lost In the great vortex of civilisation. Not many more years and the old-time Umatilla -will only linger in picture and in story. The stalwart brave and his gaudy blanket will only be remembered by the old-'tlmor, and then the story will be looted upon with some doubt. The old-timer rarely ever gets credence to which he Is entitled. But how could it be expected when such transforma tion scenes are daily taking place? There is a tinge of sadness about the passing of the Umatilla as is the passing of the other tribes of this his torlc race. But sentiment, like the red man, like everything of old, must give way to the ubiquitous tread of the new civilization. Only a few years ago the Umatilla had the greatest country in the world for his home. His territory was prac tically unlimited. Stock, game, fish, everything that his heart could desire lay out before him as free as the water that ran and the grass that crew. He had no cares and grew to a great tribe of stately men and handsome Women. But the same old story! The section of country now known as the great Umatilla wheat belt was needed for a setter -purpose. Not until he was reduced to small numbers did he surrender. Then nar rowed from his vast territory he was given the Umatilla reservation not a poor tract of land altogether, for there was none throughout his whole Dossesslons. Here he has undergone the slow process of civilization schools, churches, hay raising and stock raising; along by the side of his white neighbor. His tepee has gradually given way for the shack, and this is gradually giving way to a better home and better surround' inirs. But there are some of his ancient trustoms that he has not abandoned He may lay aside his gaudy blanket An the hayfield and in his home, but when he comes out on puonc occa siVkib or where the public may see him. his blanket Is brought from its pltr,ee of safe keeping and along with the feather, or snch other insignia as he ftad a right to wear in the olden tlme.s, his body Is decorated and he "walks- forth as bold as a warrior of old." The most hurried trip to Pendleton finds him thtis decorated, and stately and proud. It would be the greatest humiliation that could be forced upon Mm to have him appear in public with only overalls and a jumper as his Costume. Any day they may thus he seen In Pendleton, their blankets drawn about them, a solemn, kingly expression upon their faces as they walk silently down the street or gate into some show window always the same. Civilizing Process. When Buffalo Bill's show reached Pendleton last summer the Umatillas regarded it as a state occasion. It is said that the old scout never turned; an Indian away from his show, with or without price. The Indians learned this in some way. They also knew of the "Long Hair's" record in the Mid dle "West They also knew that he would have the descendants of great chiefs with him and that they would be regaled in the war customs of their tribes. The Umatillas had prepared for the event They took from their long places of Idleness the war bonnets, the equipments, feathers, insignia and regalia of chiefs and families. The brightest colored blankets were secured. The old-time war paint was brought into recqulsition. The hest horses were taken from the stables, now fashioned on the white man's plans, and they rode Into Pendleton In a body. It happened that they ar rived just as the parade was coming down the main street, and they fell in with the horsemen. Buffalo Bill looked at them with a slight degree of jealousy. He said: "I thought I had seen the handsom est Indians In the world. I thought I had the best specimens in my hand. But I have never been west of the Rockies before. This remnant of the Umatilla tribe Is the finest looking set of fellows I ever saw." A Whole Week of Bargains DRESS GOODS Prices quoted are good until Saturday night, Maroh 21st.

Old New England Country Scene Tru. ly Depicted on the Stage. "Lover's Lane" one of the few un equivocal successes of the past dra matic year, will be seen at the Fra zer tonight It is one of the newest and quite the best of the Clyde Fitch plays. It is the production of William A. Brady and characterized by all the skill and almost reckless expendi ture for which his offerings are dis tinctive. "Lover's Lane" has a unique record. Produced in New York in midwinter it ran there for five months and was then transferred to Chicago where it triumphed over the unprece dented heat conditions of last sum mer. This play depicts social condi tions in a typical New England town. For the leading character there is a young minister of liberal views who stirs up ferment by the unconvention ally of methods which he employs In the performance of good works. There are quaint and characteristic types In this play and crowds of mer ry children who sing and dance in the school recess scene. The new season will offer no more delightful and amusing play than "Lover's Lane."
