THOUSANDS WATCH THRILLING
ROUNDUP

Pendleton, Ore, Sept. 26.-Pendle-
Ion Is today the Mecca OF pleasure
seekers of the northwest and they
ire here, thousands of them, and
thousands OF others are enroute, at
! racted by that satisfier of the appe-
.ite for excitement, The Roundup,
Which commenced today upon It's an
| lual three day succession of thrills.
The pages OF history have been
~urned back a quarter of century
and Pendleton is once again the cap
ital OF the great eastern Oregon from
tier. Everywhere are cowboys and
Indians, the gaudy shirts and scarfs,
The vari-colored chaps and the SOM
Jreros Of the former and the feathers
paint and gay blankets of the latter
making scene SO picturesque as to
oe indescribable. Dashing up and
down the streets on their cowponies
and cayuses, the hoofs of the animals
ringing out sharply on the pavement,
they present an ever-changing kaleidi-
-oscope picture that delights the eye
)f the multitude of "tenderfeet."
Promptly at one o'clock this after
loon the grand march In which sew
eral hundreds Of cowboys, cowgirls
and Indians rode In line, entered the
park, circled the track, entered the
arena and dashed at full speed toward
The grandstand while roar OF ap-
plause went up from the dense mass
OF humanity In the mammoth stadium.
Then commenced program that
kept the nerves of the vast audience
constantly acquiver. Manifesting in a
hundred different ways their excite
ment and enthusiasm, the great crowd
saw in turns broncho busters mount
ed on the backs of plunging, pitch
ing outlaw horses, fighting man
against brute battle in which the
norses were as often as victorious as
their human .adversaries; saw cow
boys swooping from their saddle to
seize the long horns Of Texas steer
and wrestle barehanded with the vici-
ols animal; saw slips of girls mount
the backs of widest horses and keep
their seat until the animals had
1ucked themselves out; saw long
sinuous lariats suddenly uncoiling,
dart through the air, settle over the
.ss OF racing steers and jerk the
pride of the herd to earth; ;saw cow
boys and cowgirls dash around the
track at breakneck speed jump from
one horse to another and race for
nonors as the pony express riders OF
old, sometimes rode for life; and saw
a troupe Of frontier daredevils do
many other feats such as none but
they will attempt, fr-f
Today's and tomorrow's 4a51tests
are really only TIE prsklminaries, the
heroic contests for the championships
of the world being scheduled for Sat
urday wheh the winners of the two
first d1y will strive with each other.

BALD PRIDE
A Naked Dome Is Sign OF intellee.

A Naked Dome Is a Sign Of intelIee-
tuaiity, Says Scientist
According to Prof Carlton b. Wells,
a brain specialist of Paris, the whole
human race IL likely to be hairless
within the next 500 years. Badness
will be the fashion for both men and
women" said Prof. Wells. Men will
los their hair within the next two CEN
turtles. and women will lose their
crowning glory within the next 500
years"
There Is no reason to worry about
this loss of hirsute attractiveness. Ev-
en- If you, sir, are as bald as a billiard
ball, there Is no reason why you
should wear a wig or why you shoud
spend goodly share Of your income
on BARRIERS nostrums. There is no
reason why you should massage your
glistenng dome of thought night and
morning or submit the Uranium to
electrical vibrations or bath of crude
oil, quinine tonic or pungent sheep
dip.
On the contrary, you should glory
in your badness, take pride in it,,
boast of It in the highways and by
ways, and exhibit your cranial nude
ness in the market place before the
eyes of all men. For, hear ye, all
that are afflicted" with badness! At
tend to the golden wisdom Of DR..
Wells. He solemnly AYERS that bald
ness IL a sign of intellectually. "The
more man advances In the realm of
thought" he says, "the less hair will
he have. The more brains he has. the
more ne thinks and uses these brains,
the higher he develops on the mental
plane, the more naked he will become
on the top of his head. And women
will not be exempt In this general
scheme Of evolution. Two hunderd
years hence there will not be such a
monstrosity AZ a long-haired man, and
500 years hence there will scarcely be
a hair on any woman's head"
These are comforting words com
forting, at least, to the man who. ad'
vancng into middle age, finds the hair
growing thin on the top OF his head
No more will he gaze anxiously in the
mirror o. mornings. No longer will he
spend his hard.earned dollars on ton
les and unguents that have no more
effect than 80 much water. No more
will he ruin his temper trying to mas
sage his head o. nights. No more viii
he disguise himself In ugly, heat.engen
dering wigs that never stay on straight
and always come on at the most mop
perfume moment. Henceforth he is {
free moral agent, man unafraid, {
man whose glistening dome of though
will be the envy Of all beholders. A
new and happier epoch begins for thu
hairless man! - Rochester Post-Ex

when West High Of Co|um'

The high school football team is
not worried over the report that has
gotten about In regard to the strength
of the West High team which the boys
play here next Saturday afternoon. 1t
has been stated by some that probably
West High has the strongest team in
Columbus this season. II is somewhat
difficult to size up the team by results

ricks In Columbus, however, is no foe
to be lightly met, and realizing this
the boys are repeating their course
of action last week. They are resting
on no laurels, but working like fiends
every night at Riverside from $3.50
until dark.
The management expects as good n
game as idsI week, anu tOdCH NlnUey
expects even harder propositions, SO
he is leaving no stone unturned.
Mt. Vernon now has an almost In.
vincible line, and a woderfully i'm.

fensive play has been good all year.
so the teams supporters know they
can count upon Nj. Vernon acquitting
herself with credit in any games that
are to come.
The victory of last Saturday is due
directly to the hard, consistent train.

members OF the team. Smoking has
been entirely tabooed, and the coach
and team are highly gratifed at re.
suits.
This will be the lest game at home
before the Thanksgiving affair which
will probably be played with Barber
