The old adage has it that March comes in like lion and goes out like lamb," which may be true or not, but
 certain 1t is that the old saw could be aptly applied to the present hearing of the raised property valuations as pro- posed by Capt Joe V. Allen, and which are being opposed, in many instances, | by a committee of the Real Estate ex- change, headed by Attorney Rube Smyer and Real Estate Expert Asbury
 Thompson, with the members of the
 Board of Revenue as judicial referees Like unto the month named in the adage the opening sessions were stormy, and 1t was plain to be seen
 that the decks were cleared for ac- tion" and both sides were "out for blood" It might be the better term | to say the opening sessions were windy" for the first day was almost entirely taken up by lengthy and pro- found arguments on the part of the eminent counsel employed In tho case, which said lengthy and profound ar guments have not been understood as yet by the august tribunal which Is passing on the cases, or any one else for that matter except the members of the leg1l profession who happened to be present.
 They started to scrap on the jump.

ROUNDUP TO BE
HELD NEXT WEEK
Signs Up Eight of Worlds Best Wild
West Performers-Three
Are Ladies

Pendleton, Ore, Sept.-There viii
be at least eight performers at the
Roundup, which is to be held in this
city from September rs to 28 inclu
slve, who have reached that skill in
wild west specialties that entities
them to the rank of artists par-excel-
lence, eight riders, ropers and steer
Wrestlers whose daring and profici-
ency enable them to command exhi-
bition salaries of whcih even the
most popular of footlight fayorites
might well be envious. Each of
these eight peerless ones has a rep
utation known in every western state,
a reputation he or she must sustain
at the Roundup.
Three of the feature performers
will be ladies', undoubtedly the fore
most of their sex in their abilities
as riders. The names of Tillie Bald
win, Bertha Blanchett and Blanche
McGaughey are too well known to-
require lengthy dissertation on their
abilities. Suffice it to say that, be-
sides doing trick and fancy riding,
each has mastered the science of
sticking to the back Of a bucking
broncho and the competition between
them for first honors will be one of
the most exciting and spectacular
contests of the Roundup.
Two of these lady buckarooes have
buckaroo husbands who appear with
them. Johnny Baldwin is a trick,
hippodrome and fancy rider, the peer
of any in the business, while Dell
Blanchett combines with his abilities
as a rider mastery of the art of
bulldogging steer and will be en-
tered in the bulldogging contest for
the championship of the world. Both
he and his wife were features of the
1911 Roundup.
Tie directors of the Pendleton
show are particularly jubilant over
the annexation of Art McCord to
Their list of exhibition attractions.
Besides being an expert at steer
