A COMMERCIALIZE ROUNDUP
(Oregon Journal.)

1t Is proposed to stage show on
the lines of the Pendleton Roundup
and put it on the road. Persons we'll
skilled in the Pendleton event have
been retained to design the appoint
ments.
Pendletonians need not fear that
the copy will supplant the original.
Copies never approximate the perfec-
ton of the model The spurious in
anything never approaches the genu-

1t was the enthusiasm of the anna
teur participants that gave life, ac-
ton and vividness to the work Of the
Pendleton performers 1t was a
realism that can never be duplicated
in commercialized show. 1t en-
bodied zest and sincerity that flow
ed from heart action as contrasted
with mere hand action.
There we're 500 mounted persons In
the Pendleton parade. It was a small
army that in itself arouse to proper

cannot be duplicated in a travelling
aggregation.

NEW DUTIES FOR THE HEN.

Poultrymen have long been work
ing to produce hens that will lay eggs
and lay them when they are wanted.
Almost every up-to-date county in the
country now boasts a poultry show
as an annual event and Umatilla
county is not backward along this
line.
But the latest thing out is a con-
trivance through the use of which
and make a record of each egg that
is laid. The System" is now being
demonstrated at a poultry show
underway in New York and the re-
suits will no doubt be awaited with
interest by poultry fanciers.
The new recording device by which
the egg laying activities of any hen
can be determined consists of small
steel spur affair which is attached to
one of her legs, on the end of which
is fastened piece of colored crayon.
When she enters the specially built
nest she locks herself in, at the same
time lowering a bar that later on
makes an accountant of her. After
the egg is safely deposited, to regain
her freedom she must stoop to get
under the bar, and in doing so makes
a mark with the crayon attached tC
her leg on piece of paper that is
placed on the floor of the entrance
to the nest, thus registering the fac
that the hen with the red, blue oi
green crayon, as the case may be, has
laid the egg. While the device is mo-
likely to reduce the cost of the morn
ing meal, it will undoubtedly work {
hardship to those fowls which do no
live up to their responsibilities as egs
producers.

A TRAGEDY OF THE STORM.

The death of John Narkaus in a
snow slide in Bobsled canyon makes
the story of the storm tragedy.
Striving to save COW and a calf from
the clutches of the Storm King the
plucky young stockman became
caught himself and gave up his life in
the attempt. The life of the noun
tain stockman is not one of ease an
pleasure. The rancher must at times
face hardships and dangers if he
would do his duty by his stock. Es-
pecially is this true when storms
come suddenly and the snow becomes
deep upon the grazing ground. John
Narkaus strove to do his duty and
died in the attempt. 1t is too bad
that such things should happen yet
accidents like this seem unavoidable
at times. In the present case people
can only sympathize and hope that
the death of the young mountaineer
will not fall too heavily upon the
fireside circle of which he was a mem

WHY so sLoTHFUL?

John McCourt, United States dist
rlct attorney, takes peculiar atti-
tude indeed regarding the establish
uent of water rights upon the Una
riIa reservation. He says he is 60
jnE to establish those rights via the
state water board route. If he does
this it will take many years to get the
matter settled. The case cannot be
tried out before the water board for
months to come Then the action of
the board will have to run the gaunt-
let of the circuit court and of the
STATE supreme court.
But when all that has been done
the real trial of the case will only

QUAINT OLD ENGLISH CUSTOM
syplay That Seems to Americans

Real Significance.

A curious survival Of medieval

men and footmen. The forms have
been changed, and the visit is now
paid to the high court, but the spirit
of the act remains, for the lord mayor
opens his term in the Mansion house
with a ceremonial involving recogRi-
don of the supreme authority of the
crown.
The instrument used for expressing
this traditional idea Is an old fashion
ed cooked hat. When the lord may

if rug be placed in the sunlight for
a few days the colors will fade quite
decidedly. On the contrary, vegetable
coloring is generally not so pro-
nounced in tone. will not fade either
in washing or in sunlight, and will
grow softer, richer and glossier with
the passing years.
About the only reason for this
substitution is the cheapness of ami
line colorings in comparison with the
time and labor spent in procuring the
vegetable dyes. Hunting for some of
the roots and herbs, boiling and blend
ing. all take time and labor and add

tune he solemnly lifts his cooked hat
three times from his head and sa-
lutes the lord chief justice and the
justices.
The judges wear robes and wigs
when in court. For lord mayors day
they have also a fat back cap which
can be slipped over the top Of the
wig. The lord chief justice and his
associates return the lord mayors
salute gravely, but they do not take
off their black caps. Were they to
do this they would place the crown
upon a level of equality with the
municipality. They greet the lord
mayor without uncovering their heads
and the principle Of the supremacy
of the crown is safe.
The lord mayor with his retinue
subsequently visits the judges in 9TH
er courts, to invite them to the Guild
hall banquet. When the rustling noise
of the procession Is heard every
Judge fumbles in a drawer, pulls out
a little square Of black cloth and
crowns his wig with It. The lord may
or takes OF his three-cornered hat
three times. and the justice on the
bench bows. but remains covered.
