BEDS TO CORRAL HORSES
The Umatillus Are Now Making- Annual
Roundup.
One of tbe great annual events in
the lives of tbe Indians on the Umatil
la reservation was scheduled to take
place yesterday, , when tbe work of
rounding up between 8,000 and 4,000
pouies was started.
Aooording to Major Moorbonse, of
tbe Pendleton Tribune, the Indians
have about 5,000 head of ponies al
together, and the annual roundup of
tbe animals is about tbe keenest sport
afforded tbe ever restless red man in
this day of civilization. It could not
be learned whether or not the full
number would be corralled at the end
of the big drive whioh began yester
day, but it supposed that the major
portion of the 5,000 will be inoluded.
The corrals into which the horses
will be driven are located on the head
waters of the McKay and are about
twenty-five miles from Pendleton. In
spite of the great distance quite a num
ber of the people have signified tneir
intentions of going out to witness the
fun.
It is peculiarly fitting just at this
time when the big Spokane and Port
land naners are exploiting the drive
which is now taking plaoe in Eastern
Washington as tbe last of its kindtbat
will ever be held in the West, that
the Umatilla Indians should begin on
their annual roundup, which contains
nearly as many horses in the drive
which is being heralded around the
world.
PASTURE.
I have a good pasture with plenty
of running water, which will accom
