One of the names to appear on the
republican ballots as a candidate for
the nomination for Judge of the sup
RENE court is that of Joseph E. Cobbey,
of Beatrice. Judge Cobbey is the au-
thor of Cobbey's Annotated Statutes
of Nebraska, as we'll as of the "Law
of Replevin" and the ''Law of Chattel
Mortgages, besides a number of
smaller text books on law.
He has been a resident Nebraska
since 1887, and the same year was ap-
pointed United States commissioner,
which position he still holds, having
been appointed by both republican
and democratic federal judges. This
showing of confidence by the federal
courts, is strong recommendation
for him.

Partisan Butterfly Act Com

ing.
Wonderful Aerial Spectacle To b
Presented Here With Circus.
The Human Butterfly act, the
wonderfulFrench aerial spectacle which
originated in Paris last winter is to BIZ
seen in Columbus. on Tuesday August
Is. with the Adam Forepaugh Sells
Brothers circus. 1t is the most
beautiful and the most daring high air
performance ever seen in America.
1t cost the management of the circus
more money than was ever before
paid for q single act.
The Ty-Bell sisters, the three most
beautiful women before the public,
are the Originators of the act. They
are the ones who are presenting it in
this country. 1t is in every way diff
ferent from aerial acts seen in the
past. The three girls are suspended
from the dome of the tent by means
of thread-like cords of steel. To
those they cling merely by the use of
their teeth. Through the medium of
invisible mechanism above them they
are made to circle dart and fly thorugh
space with the grace and skill of birds,
while battery of calcium and electric
spot lights play upon Their long silken
robes and wings of white spun glass
with streams of fantastic colors.
There is ethereal beauty and sub
lime splendor to the act that is en-
trancing to the behOlders. The great
danger and risk of life that the per-
forrnances envolves give it thrilling
and dramatic interest that is intense.
The element of suspense is present
throughout the entire act. 1t is
thriller of the most pronounced kind
which does not need any gruesome and
ugly incline structure to give it effect.
1t is dangerous enough to satisfy the
most morbid minded, while its spec
tacular beauty never fails to delight
the fancy of the most delicate woman.
Prominent among other aerialist are
the famous Alpine troupe the Ortaney
sisters, the Richard sisters, the two
Franks, Fred Lasere, the La Fayette
family, the Minerva sisters, the three
Alvos, the Elliott family, the Flying
the eight Jernens, and the
famous Tayor- Huttons. There are
many more on the list. Each one of
them picked star performer. The
same care has been exercised in the
selection of the acrobats, the gymnas-
is, the jugglers, the equestrians and
the hippdrOme contestants.
The trained animals are a big fea-
ture. There are many troups of them
and all are the best. The manager
is complete collection of the rarest
of the worlds strange animals and the
forenoon parade is marvel of extra
vagance and strapgeness.
This year most pronounced thriller
is double somersaulting automobile
flight through the air, performed by a
mere girl The act reaches the utter
limit of daring. 1t is a genuine dou-
BILE act, not to be con-
with the limitation of the
past.

LET THE OREGON LEAD.

1t is rumored in official circles at
Washington that the old battleship
Oregon is to lead the grand naval pa
rade through the Panama canal when
the big ditch is completed. The ru-
NOR is taken as being authentic and
if such proves to be the case the peo-
pie of Oregon and of the west in
general will rejoice.
There is no vessel afloat more en-
titled to lead the procession than the
Oregon. The oregon is no mere peace
battleship. She has a war record that
cannot be beaten. Never in history
| did another fighting ship make such a
race as the Oregon and arrive in
fighting trim as did our battleship
Such a run will not likely be made
again because with the completion
of the canal it will not be necessary
for ships to go around Cape Horn.
The Oregon made the long trip ir
time of need. She should be allowed
to lead the procession through the
canal.

to people and they will continue 10
come to see it if the standard is main
tained.
In the view of this paper it is es-
sential though that local people keep
their heads and not become unbal-
anced by the success of the show,
otherwise it will soon be all up with
the Round-Up
The Round-Up is sure of success as
long as it is conducted along present
lines. But it won't do to let it be-
come professionalism. It would then
soon degenerate into mere wild
west" show and would become famous
as a graft.
Nor would it do for the Roundup
II try to monopolize local attention
entirely. 1t is sport. not business and
is of value not so much because To-
cal people may make money off it as
because the show makes people sit up
and take notice of Pendleton once a
year.
There are some who would sacrifice
everything for the Roundup just as
Oberammergau does for the Passion
Play. That would be the heighth OF
folly Don't let the thing run wild
Busy people don't care for Oberam-
mergau only once every 10 years and
they would not care much for Pen
dleton if We had nothing here but the
Roundup. Our commercial. indus
trial and educational affairs are OF
first Importance of course. Were il
rot for these features of Pendleton
life the Round-Up would amount t.
but little.
Boost the Roundup strong and
loud. But keep it in its proper field
Don't let it run to seed for if we dc
everybody will soon grow tired of it

y BIT OF ENGLISH HUMOR.

The night train was approaching
Blackheath, outside of London, and
two Americans. unacquainted with
the locality, were in doubt as to the
station. One peered out through the
window into the unresponsive dark
ness and sank back to his place. The
other did precisely the same.
rs it Blackheath ?" inquired the
first.
THE Lord only knows" replied the
other in hopeless fashion.
A small, apologetic, shrinking sort
of Englishman, sitting next, spoke up.
Il beg your pardon" he said softly
for instruding upon your personal
and private conversation, but as I hap
pen to share that knowledge with the
Almighty, permit me to say that it is

SCHOOL WORK Is ON.

School work is resumed in Pendle-
ton today and if the dearth of va
cant houses is a good criterion then
the enrolment this fall should break
all previous records. There is scarce
" habitable vacant house to be had
and it may be that our school houses
will be taxed to the limit.
It is regrettable that the 100000
voted for the erection of a new high
school and for the completion of the
Lincoln school is not yet available,
High school students will have to get
along with the present school during
the coming year. But no doubt the
bonds will'be passed upon in due time
and perhaps the new building will be
ready by next September. 1t is to be
hoped so at least. If Pendleton is to
continue its good record as a fine
school town then proper buildings
must be provided.
( Thankfully the great majority of To-
cal taxpayers stand firmly for the
making of such improvements as are
| necessary.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-09-18
IT WAS WE'LL DONE.

The splendid manner in which the
Roundup performance was handled
each day brought forth universal COM
mendation from those who witnessed
the show and SO did the good work
OF the accommodations committee in
caring for the crowds
1t was no accident that the big show
was pulled off promptly and accord
ing to program each day. 1t took or
ganization and hard, vigorous work to
do it. 1t also required an enormous
amount Of organized work to prepare
for the show. To mention all who
aided in the making Of the Round-U
would require a book. But Of the
brigade President J. Roy Raley is the
chief and a very capable one. The
expressions Of praise so freely be-
slowed upon the show and its man.
agement are largely testimonials to
his good executive ability.
Nor was it accidental that the thou
sands Of people who were here from
abroad to see the big show were pro-
vided with sleeping and eating places
There were at least 10000 outside
people here Saturday and they all had
to eat. Many Of the number hao
been here for several days and so re.
quired sleeping places. They were
provided for and the almost utter alb
sence Of complaints as to poor ac,
commodations is more than gratifying
1t indicates that the accommodation
committee, working under the direc
tion Of Dan p. smythe, chairman an,
Jack Keefe, secretary, did fine work
1t may be timely to suggest righ
here that this is the way the Round
Up should be handled every time
Improve matters IL possible but neve
let the affair deteriorate. Give tn
people a splendid show and accom-
modate the visitors. Then every spec
tator will go away booster.

AN AVERAGE.

a western representative in con-
gress was talking one day of his rec
ord while in that body. I'm not
ashamed of it," said he. Il think
I've done very WELL on the whole.
When I reflect upon it, I am remind
ed Of an epitaph that 1 saw once in
an old burying-ground in a country
town of my state.
This epitaph devoted a verse of
four lines to the virtues of the good
man who lay beneath the stone, and
concluded with this line in prose:
He averaged we'll for this vicinity"

was overshadowed by the Roundup
