LAST CONCERT WAS
THE BEST OF ALL
LARGE CROWD LISTENED
TO ORCHESTRA LAST NIGHT
Popular Organization Concluded
Summer Concerts With Feature
PrOgran-Winter Concerts a Pos
sibility-Cowboy Band for "Round-
up."

The last Of the series of the free
concerts in the fair pavilion given by
the United Orchestra under the aus
pices OF the Pendleton Commercial
club, was given last night and by the
generous applause which each num-
Der rendered by this popular musical
organization brought forth, 1t was
plain the program was the best that
has yet been rendered. This being a
request" program, each number was
feature, and therefore It is impos-
sible to choose any particular num-
Der as the best unless II would be to
say the selection from IL Trovotore
was a marked feature. The citizens
of Pendleton are indeed sorry that
these concerts are at an end and 1t
is hoped that a series of indoor con-
certs will be given during the winter
by this organization.
The respective members OF the or
chestra will now take a prier rest,
several going to the mountains and
coast, but by September 1 rehearsals
will again be held, as the members in
tend keeping the organization togeth-
er for future playing.
Pendleton has been indeed fortu-
nate in having an orchestra with the
ability to handle the class of music
that has been played by the United
Orchestra and the people will be glad
to render their support in the future
as we'll as in the past.
The music committee of the
Roundup has made a proposition to
the United Orchestra and Band to
furnish music for their big show and
Manager Fletcher is now arranging a
big cowboy band for this big event.

sented By Speaker

Every pew in the First Baptist
church, Noble and Vine streets. was
filled and there was considerable
sprinkling in the gallery last night
when Mayor John @. Mitchell OF
Tulsa met ex-Mayor WI u. Rohde IN
Joint debate upon the merits OF the
commission form OF government as
demonstrated by its operation in the
city OF Tulsa during the eleven
months since It's adoption. Mayor
Mi ,chell took the affirmative and
Rohde the negative side Of the ar
gument.
Present in the audience were
clergymen from the various churches
of Guthrie, lawyers, physicians,
prominent business men of the city
and several city officials.
The speakers were introduced by
the Rev. T. l.. Noblitt, pastor OF the
First Christian church, who opened
the meeting with prayer in which he
asked that the spirit OF friendliness
and courtesy in which the two gen
tlemen had accepted an invitation to
address the citizens OF Guthrie might
prevail throughout. Dr. Noblitt
also asked the audience to refrain
from nterrupting the speakers and

discourtesy shown a proponent OF the
commission form of government dur

had been invited to address.

Mayor Mitchell opened, the debate,
speaking forly-five minutesI He re-
lated in a convincing manner the re-
forms that had been accomplished in
Tulsa since the antiquated system OF
aldermanic COVE nment had been
abandoned in favor of a practical,
business administration. One OF the
improvements highest in favor with
the voters was the installation OF an
accurate method of accounting for
every dollar received and every ex-
penditure by the city. A complete

1T has been my experience and Is
my belief that the people are more
concerned with the value received
for their taxes than with their
amount, said Mayo Mitchell. In
Tulsa we have six otlicers--a mayor,
city auditor and four commissioners
elected at large. The mayor draws

commission form OF government was
