The following commun'cation was
handed to Major Lee Moe.rehouse, j
from Poker Jim, with an urgent re- i
luest that it be published:
Emati'la Reservation, H'jj.t. 18, 1911. j
I have the greatest pleasure of writ- j
ing In regard to the "Round-Up," held :
In Pendleton. Ore, .September 14, la:
and 16, which was enjoyed by many j
vsit rj from the east south and the
north. The state of Oregon was at
one time a big, wild country, and in
habitel exc-lu iveiy by Indian, and
their thousands of beautiful ponies
crazed on the prairies and it was
from this that our tribe was called the
Cayuses.
All the IndJan dresseH worn by the
Indians at te Round-Up were the
riginal dressy of the native North
American Indians, especially the Cay
use's. Many years ago you white people
immigrated Into the west, where there
never had been any wn'te people- be
fore. This was a suiprlss to the Ciy
use Indians. They respected them
more than they did their own people
Now, you young wh.te people should
think of the hard times that your
parents had when they first came
west and they are living no more,
but their children are now having
good times, wearing good clothes,
riding on the cars with plenty to eat
an1 'r nk, but you should think of
your po ;r fathers ari, mothers all
dead. V.'hat would t::ey think about
you If they cou'd come to life now
and see the farms and c:i:es alonjj tho
road they had travel d and had hard
times.
I do often think j( my father and'
great-grandfather, who, at one time,,
wore nothing but the Indian war bon
nets and the rest of the wearing ap
parel, such as was seen In the parade
and that Is the reason why I like to
see my people wear these old t'me
clothes at the celebration of the
Fourth of July, in mrmory of our
forefathers, who are now all dead. I,
In behalf of the Indians, want to
thank my friend. Major Lee Moore
house, who so kindly nolped us out
by loaning us lots or tnlngi from his

and they said "These people are the
Indians' new friends." The white?
traveled with oxens and with wagons
covered with canvas, such as was :;.en
in the parade f-aturday, they bought
our furs and other things and horse1,
but at that time tiie Indians did n t
know the value of gold and silver.
Now your fathers and mothers who
dr.ve aer'ss the r.ln.ft.i r.:t.l seen many
hard times are no mi-re, and the In
d:;'ns' fatisers and mothers have all
pon to the Happy Hunting Ground-;
they were the white men's friend.-,
hut the children of those who crossed
the p'tOns are living and the children
j" the Ini.-r- who fist saw them
are bvin. an 1 v.-e tr-. .ill frien Is
