letter from ]. T.. Keefe, Jr., secre-
tary of the world famous Pendleton
Roundup. Mr.. Keefe assures us that
Pendleton is going to give snow
this year that will eclipse anything
ever before attempted and nobody in
a thousand miles can afford to miss
it. The motto of the Roundup asso-
citation is "a good time and square
deal for everybody and all our stock
Yards representatives who attended

Siasm, and said Pendleton handled
the crowds without hitch. The
Pendleton bunch, who took part in
the Elks' parade. were just foreruh-
ner of the event in September, and
we are here to say there was some
doins when any of the aforesaid
bunch came in sight. Rumor has II
that Il was one of the orlBlna'

HEADQUARTERS ARE
OPENED in WEST
Tart Followers Prepare for Carrying
Oh Vigorous Campaign for
His Reelection.

Chicago, Aug 14.-The Western
executive committee Of the national
republican committee met here today
and formally opened the Chicago
headquarters of the national republi-
can committee, Chairman Hilles of
the national committee, with several
members of the New York headquar-
ters attended the Chicago opening
and from now on things are expected
to hum in the West in the interest
of President Taft's reelection.
The Chicago headquarters have
been provided with tons of literature
photographs Of President Taft and
Vice-President Sherman, buttons and
pins to be distributed throughout the
Western states. 1t is also the plar
of the committee to send out big
speakers to the Western states where
Colonel Roosevelt has planned a
stumping campaign. so that the re-
publicans as we'll as the democrats
who are going to send William j
Bryan after Roosevelt-will have big
speakers following in the wake Of the
colonel and offset his influence as
mu-h as possible.
The committee here is planning to
print a number of questions, which
they consider leaders and have them
distributed on cards for the benefit
Of the voters of this section. Some
of the questions are as follows:
rs Mr.. Wilson still antagonistic to
Chinese exclusion"
Does he still regard the Chinese
Immigrant as more to be desired than
the immigrant from Europe?"
The Western committee hopes by
these cards or pamphlets to arouse
the opposition of the people of the
Pacific coast states against Governor
Wilson, as well as the foreign born
citizens of the United States. it is

City Should Have Better Connections
by Roads With West End Of
County.
COMPLAINT IS LODGED
Commercial Club May Take Action
Toward Securing Bcttcrmcnt of
Hardships Fall on Farmers In Max
ing Trips to Pendleton.

That Pendleton is sadly in need OF
better highways connecting the city
with the west end country Is shown
by a complaint that has just been
lodged with the Commercial associ-
alton and will probably be made the
basis for action by that body towards
securing a betterment OF conditions.
1t is complained by Perry Brothers
that the roads leading into town from
the Planting ranch are in such poor
condition that farmers in that vicinity
find II very hard to make the trip to
Pendleton. Many of them have re-
sorted to making the trip to Echo Tor
supplies even though the distance to
Echo is greater than to Pendleton.
The status of the road has been
called to the attention of the Com
mercial association by ]. A. Borle'
manager of the Pendleton pianing
mills. with a suggestion that some
action should be taken by the organl-
zation. The appeal has been referred
by Secretary Keefe to DR.. F. w. VIM

{. MAYER is RECALLED
FROM PORTSMOUTH CLUB

Atlanta has exercised its option on
Erskine Mayer and the ex-Cracker
finger will report to the local club in
the near future. Mayer is now hurting
for the Portsmouth club in the Virginia
league, and will continue with that
team until the end of the season, when
he reports to Atlanta He should reach
the Cracker club in time to take part in
the last week or two of games in the
calendar
Mayer has sprung to the fore during
the last season, and developed into
grand slabman, He was easily the
foremost pitcher in the Virginia circuit
and has attracted the attention of a
bunch of big league scouts. Atlanta
has received several flattering offers for
his services from Pittsburg and other
clubs in the big show, but it is not at
all probable that they will be seriously
considered yet a while, as Mayer viii

GIBBONS IS NOT
WORLD BEATER,
SAYS J. CLABBY
Bv Ed. w. Smith.

"HICAGO. Aug. 9.-There is a
thorn in the side of Mike
Gibbons that the St Paul
man should pluck out before he can
consider himself a champion. Said
thorn is walking around here and
answering to the name of Jimmy
Clabby, now a Hammond bonifaCe,
but a fighter still for all of that.
Jimmy came into town the other
day to have a visit, with his old
running mate. Ad Wolgast, and in,
cidentally TO take a trip to Mil
waukee with the lightweight cham
pion. Both are decidedly well
known there and usually make
their visits together
Clabby would like nothing better
than to get another shot at Mike.
1t can not come too soon for him
and he would make a lot of con
cessions to the St. Paul star in or
der to get him into a New York
ring for a ten-round display or
something like that,
How Mike Showed Speed.
Mike has achieved a wonderful
reputation down East because of
his speed and skill" Jimmy told a
little bunch in The American Of
fee the other afternoon. Well,
I'm glad he's doing well and that
they like him because that ought to
make him a pretty good card with
me down there I've had Mike in
the ring and he certainly showed
speed against me. | never saw a
man do so much backward running
as he did that night IN Milwaukee.
And there is still talk in Milwau-
kee about what a rotten showing
he made against me in that con-
test
Il don't know much about Mixes
weight. but I'll do $50 pounds for
him or anybody else, We boxed
before at l45 and ! weighed only
143 then. I've taken on some and
l guess he has, too. But the fact
that l can do $50 doesn't make me
refuse to meet any and all middle
weights. III go right up to 100
pounds with any of them.
why shouldn't Mike do the
same, if he's the champion they
would make him out in New York?
Boxing is a business and one must
get his pile out of it, If he is to
make a pile, while the going is
good Gibbons never can make
another nickel out of the welter-
weight class. I'd starve If | had to
depend upon men of my own
weight. That's why I'm making
concessions all the time. Why, In
Australia, ! boxed Dave Smith,
who weighed 1876 pounds. and any
of the other big fellows that could
draw a cent with me"
