rENDLEToN AND THE ROUNDUP

The opening Of the second annual
Roundup marks a big occasion for
Pendleton. For many month prep
arations have been carried on with a
view % making the present show a
thrilling entertainment. The best
taIent o~btaiuaDle has been gathered
in from far and vide, a mammoth
grandstaRd has been erected and 9TH
er improvements made with a view 70
the better accommodation of both
spectators and performers. II has
boen the intention Of the Round-Up
management and NJ the people II
Pendleton IN general n leave Moth
ing undone that would work for the
complete success NJ the three days'
show. II tn frontier zaow II not
enjoyed II viii not be becauge pen
dleton not strlyen % please.
AZ for the character Of the Round
Up, 1t r. an entertainment devised TO
provide good, wholesome recreation
for those who participate and those
who witness the performance. The
show Is not intended t. depict the
life in this country at this time, for
the Roundup is not typical OF Pen
dleton and Of eastern oregon these
days. This much may be safely said
without reflection.
In the Roundup and in the dar-
ing work Of those who participate all
take pride. But it is sport, not busi-
ness. In their serious moments the
people Of this section follow less
strenuous work. Wheat raising is
the banner industry Of this county
and the g~raingrowers Of the county
produce one per cent Of the wheat of
the United States.

NERVE

We have read OF the nerve OF the light
brigade.
That charged through a ran OF
lead.
Ana the fleet that entered Manila bay,
Where the dauntless Dewey led.
We have heard of the nerve ana the
steady aim
or the patriot william Tell,
And the great Jim Bludso daring
death
on the burning Prairie Belle.
Mans nerve has made the whole
world thrill,
Though some mems nerves ap-
pail.
But the nerve of the nervous
iceman
Is the d,mnest nerve of all!
\ different nerve had old Doc Cook,
Who came from the Arctic sea
To spring his tale of The gumdrop
trail
That led TO the last degree.
The nerve Of the grabbed, cross old
cove
Who flirts with the coy young maid
And the henpecked man who leads
the van
In a s~uffragette parade.
Mans nerve has made the whole
world thrill
Though some mems nerves appal,
But the nerve of the nervous ice
man
Is the r,ppingest nerve Of all.

There are also vast irrigation dis
tricts in this county. The Milton
Freewater district. which constitutes
the Oldest fruit raising district OF the
county. produced more fruit last year
than did the Hood River valley and
IL sold for more money than did the
Hood River fruit In the west end
Of the county there are numerous
private irrigation projects, among
them the splendid Furnish project.
and the Umatila project, developed
by the United states reclamation ser
vice. The Umatilla project has been
classed by the engineers Of the gov
eminent as being the most favored
project in many respects Of any IN
dertaken by the government. Just
now the government is also planning
for the expenditure Of s~4,OOO,OOO up
oa the extension Of the Umatilla riv-
err.
In area Umatilla county contains
more square miles than do the COM
bined states OF Rhode Island and Del
aware. There are more miles of rail-
road in Umatilla county than in any
other county in oregon. This is the
second wealthiest county in the state
and has undeveloped resources that
promise great things for the future.
All of these things are mentioned
here to-show that while Pendleton
features its frontier show this little
city is also the capital Of a territory
that is alive and progressive with
reference to affairs Of industry, COM
MERGE and culture. There are bath
tubs, automobiles and paved streets
f. Umatilla county as well as bron-
lhos, buckaro0s and Indians.
But just now it is not civilization we
are after. We are showing the rough
ard ready life Of the range and It is
a life worth while.

! PUBLIC SERVANT.

In City Attorney Frank $. Grant
seems to have an official who strives
to serve the people. He is an agent
, Of the public and is striving to get
what he can from them in the way
Of proper treatment from the public
service corporations
It appears that the Portland Rail-
way. Light & Power company desires
90 fasten its hold more securely upon
Portland The company's franchise
does not seem absolutely secure and
the corporation managers would like
. to make it safe. But before any ac-
ton is taken by the city administra-
ton the city attorney would like to
have the corporation do a few things
for Portland. Here is a summary Of
his requests:
That the Portland Railway, Light
g. Power company be required to take
out a franchise to sell light and pow
er in the city of Portland.
That it be required to take out a
franchise for the use of the Haw-
thorne avenue bridge in accordance
with Section 11S of the city charter.
az amended, paying therefor the sum
Of $4,000 a veal
That 1t be compelled to pay it's
share Of the cost Of the Front street
bridge, the company having evaded
payment heretofore by abandoning its
franchise across the ravine.
That the company be required to
pay to the city $4,000 as it's share OF
the cost Of improving Nineteenth
street from Overton street to Wilson
street, it also having evaded this pay
ment by process Of abandoning its
tracks.
That the company be made to pay
a similar claim on Halsey and East
Twenty eighth streets.
That it be required to pay for the
widening Of East Fifteenth street, the
city having been forced to pay the
contractor s11O0 for this work, which
was done solely hat the street might
be made wide enough to accommo-
date the streetcars Of the corporation.
In the relations Of the city Of Port
land and the Portland Light & Power
company, the East Oregonian has no
concern. But in the general subject
o. the duties Of public servants and
o. public service corporations this pa
per II much interested. 1t Is splen-
did when an official sets forth fear
Iesgly and frankly to serve his people
AZ Mr.. Grant seems 10 be doing.
There are officials In Pendleton who
seem N have no zeal at all in behalf
lof the public, but devote their time
~ worrying lest their people will Sc
cure TOO much In the way Of service
from the public utility concerns. Up
on this point the East Oregonian has
psr~ticularized in the recent past and
may DO 30 again II the occasion seems
10 demand.

JOCKEY CLUB WON'T
CONSENT TO CHANGE
FOR LAUREL TRACK
Secretary Riggs Says Dates
of Pimlico Meeting Will
Remain as They Are.

BALTIMORE. Nd, Aug. 29.-secre-
tary Riggs, of the Maryland Jockey
Club. arrived from Chicago yesterday
and at once took of his coat. rolled up
his sleeves and got busy with the prepa-
rations for the fall meeting at Pimlico.
When asked as to the threatened op-
position from Laurel. Mr.. Riggs said:
Il know nothing about the Laurel
matter except what have seen in the
Racing Calendar and the newspaper.
We have had no communication from
the Jockey Club with regard to Laurel,
and we have had no conference with
Mr.. Brown.
Il can say that don't believe the
Maryland Jockey Club will assent to
any change OF dates, at least this year.
We have gone too far. Our dates have
been announced and our literature is
out. so that you can put It down that
there will be no deviation from the pro-
gram announced.
Furthermore. do not believe the
Maryland Jockey Club will give its ap-
proval in any way to a thirty-day meet
ing such as Mr.. Brown contemplates.
We do not believe in such long meet
ings Two weeks is enough. We would
II we had thought It q good thing for
racing"
Mr.. Riggs will busy himself at once
on the Pimlico program, and The books
will be out by September /.
1t has been suggested in the Laurel
matter that Mr.. Brown could race the
first seven days of the month until
Pimlico started and then stop and give
his fair and trotting races the next
week, and take up the runners again
at the close of the Pimlico meeting.
1t is highly probable that the Mary
land Jockey Club would throw nothing
in the way of such proceeding as that
The Pimlico people have no objection to
a meeting at Laurel coming in before
OF after the local races A meeting
spring and fall on such lines doubtless
would be a good thing.
At present Laurers charter allows Il
to race only through the month Of Oc-
tober, and an amendment would be
necessary for spring meeting.

Nine Games Annexed to One

Since July 1s Walter Johnson has csr-
tainly earned a large bunch of that
$1,000
At that time he had a record OF nine
games won and eigh. lost. Since then
he has won nine and lost one, his defeat
being at the hands Of Detroit July q.
Walter has won the last seven games
IL which he has pitched. and he has
won them from five teams In the league.
having defeated every team but Boston
and Philadelphia during his last win
ming streak.
Since July 16 Johnson has defeated
Detroit two out of three, Chicago three
times. Cleveland once, st. Louis twice.
and New York once. o..
In the ten games mentioned he has
given eighteen bases on balls and has
struck out sixty-seven batsmen, truly an
excellent record.
1t is hard to tell what record john
son would have hung up had he been
in good health all season, and going at
the fast pace he has set for the last
six weeks.
His percentage at present is 81, but
his percentage since July l6, Is 800.
When Washington gave him his con-
tract for 81, 900, and especially after his
poor start in the spring, the fans start
ed to say things about the 1900 beauty,
but there's not much kick on his salary
any more He's earning every cent or

on the Saturday before Thanksgiving,
rather than on the Saturday following.
The Nays schedule does not call for
any game on the Saturday before the

posed arrangement.
In 1905 the game was played at Prince
