Probably in no part of the state was
the Christmas season more Joyfully
observed than on the Umatilla Indian
reservation near this city.
The observance of the season start
ed at the Tutuilla mission Thursday
evening when the first service of the
Christmas campmeeting was held.
These services continued over until an
early hour this morning.
Friday evening the girls and boys
who are attending the Indian school
at the agency gave a Christmas pro
gram of unusual merit and enjoyed a
Christmas tree with a Jovial Santa
Clause to distribute the presents. The
program consisted of musical num
bers and recitations.
Friday night a second Christmas
tree was enjoyed at the Tutuilla mis
sion. Many of the students from the
Indian school were present and re
peated their part of the program for
tbe beneft of the 200 guests present
who did not hear the first program.
The mission Santa was an unusually
Jolly old fellow and del:ghted the chil
dren greatly.
Services were held at the mission
all day yesterday, closing last night
with a temperance rally which lasted
until 3 o'clock this morning. The
sermon yesterday was preached by
Rev. James Dickson, the Indian pas
tor, and according to Missionary Cor
nelison it was a strong appeal to the
red man in his native tongue.
The- annual Xew Year's campmeet1
ing services will start Wednesday and
will la?; well into next week.

Cellars.
The town of Hermiston spent a
turkeyless Christmas, according to E.
P. Dodd, who came up from that town
Saturday afternoon with his wife and
baby to spend Christmas at the R.
Alexander home.
The opinion prevails that a gang
of tramps is responsible for the tur
keyless condition. A number of ho
boes had been hanging around the
town for several days. Friday after
noon they were given orders by Mar
shal Fliay to leave In search of other
quarters. They did and it Is sup
posed that they took with them the
city's supply of Christmas meat, for
when the people arose the next morn
ing they found that every live turkey
in the town had disappeared.
The chief looser was the Chinese
proprietor of the Hotel Oregon cafe,
who lost four fine fat gobblers. It is
said that he is still swearing In Chi
nese, nls English vocabulary having
long since been exhausted.
According to Mr. Dodd the hoboes
are as numerous In the west end of
Umatilla county as they are In other
parts of the state. He says they are
hungry and that they are leaving the
beaten path along the railroad and are
striking out into the country, robbing
cellars as they go.
An Ideal Christmas.
Yesterday was one of the best ad
vertisements Pendleton could possibly
receive. It' was a day which accord
ing to all traditions should have been
attended by snow and Ice, but the sun
shone brightly and it was so warm
that many people opened their doors
while many others strolled or drove
out into the country. This Ideal
weather was not lost on the many
visitors in the city and they will
spread the news abroad.
Chrlstmns Cantata Enjoyed.
The Christmas cantata, "fetar ot
Promise," by the choir of the Meth
odist church under the direction of

I'liiine Washed Out.
Owing to a washout on the flume
of the Pacific Light & Power com
pany the electric current was turned
off at 9 o'clock this morning. At the
time It was announced the current
would not be turned on again until 2
o'clock. Power could have been sup
plied by the auxiliary steam plant at
Walla Walla but this was not done
owing to the fact that the company
desired to do some work on the high
line. Inasmuch as practically all In
dustry and business has been suspend
ed in Pendleton during the day the
fact that the current was off made but
little Inconvenience. The East Ore
gonlan machinery is operated by elec
tricity but the paper maintains an
auxiliary steam plant and this was
brought Into use today.
Longest Oregon Decision.
There is an interesting sequel to
the Milton and Freewater water suits
which have Just been decided after
being In the courts for five years.
That Is the decree which is now be
ing prepared by Attorney James A.
Fee of this city and Attorney C. M.
Rader of Walla Walla and the docu
ment bids fair to be the longest of
Its kind In the history of Oregon
courts. When completed It will cover
about 1000 typewritten pages and and
will consist of approximately 840.000
words. It will fill an entire record
in the clerk's office and Clerk Saling
has ordered a special record for it
alone. According to Deputy Clerk
Pruitt It will require two months of
work to compare and put the decree
on record. The. matter In the
decree Is mostly "descriptive, which
accounts for Its great length. There
were about 000 defendants represent
ed In the two water suits end the
property of each must be described
as to location, number of acres, am
ount of acreage under irrigation and
the number of Inches to which It Is
entitled. The decree will not bo fin
ished until Tuesday.

cures go, but HTOMEI continue to
cure catarrh and abolish It disgust
ing symptoms wherever civilisation
exists.
Every year the already enormous
sales of this really scientific cure for
catarrh grows greater, and the pres
ent year will show all record brok

$1 and hide it in a dark cupboard It
won't cure your catarrh.
If you breathe it dally as directed
It will cure your catarrh or It won't
cost you a cent, ask Tallman & Co.
If you have a hard rubber Hyomel
Inhaler somewhere around the house,
get It out and start at once to forever
rid yourself of catarrh.
Tallman will sell you a bottle of
Hyomel (liquid) for only 60 cents;
start to breathe it and notice how
quickly It clears out the air passage
and makes the entire head feel fine.
HTOMEI used regularly will cure
catarrh, coughs, colds, bronchitis or
sore throat. A complete outfit In
cluding a hard rubber packet Inhaler
costs $1. No stomach dosing. Just
breathe it. It kills the germs, soothe
and heals the Inflamed membrane.
