It was a representation, by peculiari ties of costuming or uniforming, to gether with banners of peculiar de sign, of Chinese conceptions of liber ty, and also had considerable histori cal significance. The full Import of the performance is not easily gleaned from any explanation which the Chi namen will attempt. The costumes and an enormous triangular "dragon 1 flag" were loans from certain Chinese . societies in Portland. Four of the nine Chinamen at La Grande from this place belong to the local Chinese band. They were TJng Goey, Tom Gee, Ung Coon, and Toy , Shae Tuen. Through Goey the party all express themselves as having had i a "velly fine time at La Glande." j There are 75 resident Chinese at j La Grande anii on this occasion there were about 2o visitors from Pendle ton, Union and Baker City. der above the high pressure.

Gets Two Monster Helper Engines f. r the La Grande Divis ion. Two monster compound freight and helper engines Nos. 1513 and 1517, have arrived from Cheyenne, nt La Grande, and are now being used as helpers out of La Grande. They have been in service on the Union Pacific for a number of years and are already known to be well built and capable of doing more work than the 300 class of compound en- Will Not Lose Eye. Engineer AV. H. Fair, of Kamela, who received severe injuries to an eye two months ago, while running a helper at Kamela, has returned from the hospital at Portland com pletely recovered. He was coming down the mountain on bis engine, when a small rock loosened and roll- . ed down, striking the window of the jcab and throwing fragments of glass I Into his eye. It was thought for a time he would lose his sight, but has (recovered and returned to work, i Damages Being Repaired Rapidly. About two more days' work will be required to repair the damage done by Sunday's flood on the streets and to the Byers race. Street Commis sioner Brown has five men with teams and scrapers and wagons at work. Some are clearing the debris from the race and making the Wade hill pass able to travelers, others are filling the various cave-Ins over the new re cently laid sewer mains.

Tallman (Sb Co. LEADING DRUGCiSTS Attraction at the Reservation. The attraction at the reservation today in the way of racing Is a 400 yard dash between two of the fleetest horses in the Northwest. One Is owned by William Hall and the other by George Bed Horse. A $50 forfeit has been placed, and the bets are long pn both animals. A little Inquiry and close observa tion by anyone who understands the Indians, reveals the fact that there can be found In their possession many objects of much more than passing interest to even the most su perficial student of ethnology nnd history. After the war parade on the reser vation the Fourth a bystander accost ed Peter Kalyton, the well-known old Indian, and asked him the history of the tomahawk he carried. The old man was reticent at first, but finally stated that he had owned the weapon 50 or more years, and that he had car ried it In battle. Asked whether It had ever done execution, he owned that he had killed three men with it, but insisted that the victims were not white men, but that all three were Plutes. He had used it in the war of the Cayuse and Umatlllas to help repel the invasion of the Plutes into this territory from the south. The Tomahawk will weigh, blade and handle both, not over two pounds possibly not thnt much. The handle is straight, of hard wood, cut and fashioned by Kalyton himself, and ornamented with brass-headed tacks. and calablistlc characters which only an old Indian can Interpret. The back of the blade, the hammer part as it might be called, Is hollow, and could have been used as a pipe in council of war, and probably has been, though the present handle to the weapon is solid. The blade has an edge about four inches long, and is of highly tempered blue steel and not a rough blacksmith shop blade. Kalytun, who is over 70 years of age. undoubtedly has a very honora ble record as a soldier among his people, but in the uprising of 1S7S he was for peace from start to finish; probably not because he did not enjoy a scrap as well as anybody, but be cause he realized fully the folly of war. dealer and sawmill man of Murdock Spur, near Meacham, says the rain of Sunday washed out the mountain roads very badly, making them Im passable In many places. There Is a large amount of hauling , in the mountnln districts this season j and good roads are badly needed, and this rain will somewhat delay the work in that locality. There will be less ivood hauled than usual to Mitr dock Spur this season, owing to the fact that men cannot be secured to cut it out, the timber is culled so badly.
