Many Indians front the Umatilla reservation are preparing to go to Toppenlsh for the big annual potlatch of the Yakima Indians, which Is to be, held near that place, beginning Oc tober .'. There are a number of Yakimas here and as the bonds of friendship between the Cmatillas and the Yakimas are close there will be a large number of the former go over to participate with their friends In the festivities. Though this event is one of the few remaining relics of a number of tribal customs, the ways of the white man are gradually being adopted In the manner of its celebration. No longer will the big horse races be held out on the open pralrlo or even on some dusty straight-way road. A race track Is being constructed and a grandstand erected from which the dusky reds can view their greatest sport. For a number of years the annual potlatch has been held on the farm of an Indian belonging to the Klicki tat tribe, which fact has kept many of the Yakimas from participating. It seems that In the troubles of the early days the Klickltats took sides with the whites against the Yakimas, thereby engendering a hatred which has never entirely been forgotten, es pecially by the older Indians. This year a family of Yakimas Is to be tho host and It is expected that the cele bration will be the most largely at tended of any in recent years. While various Indian stunts will be pulled off. the principal attraction will be the horse racing. There will be purses put up for Indian races every afternoon and for one day there will be offered a purse of $ 1 00 for a race between horses belonging to Indians ' those belonging to whites. Chief among the Indians who will partici pate In the races will be a number of Umatillas who think they have fast horses and are confident they can re turn home with some of the Yakima wampum.
