is the habit of the day. Store win
dows are done in an emerald tint.
green ties adorn the collars of the av-
erage pedestrian and shamrocks are
displayed proudly upon coat lapels. 1t
is the day of all days for the loyal
sons and daughters of Erin and every
body is willing to help them in the
observance of the occasion.
March II is the anniversary of the
death of Saint Patrick, the patron
saint of Ireland, who died about the
year 466 A. ID. Popular legend as
cribes to him the peculiar feat of
driving the snakes from the Emerald
Isle but whether or not he performed
this act his deeds for the relief and
advancement of the Irish people were
so great as to place him foremost in
their hearts. Because he used the
shamrock to exemplify to them the
doctrine of the trinity, the little Irish
clover has ever since been a sacred
emblem to them.
This evening a st. Patrick dance
will be given in the Eagle-Woodman
hall by the Roundup band.

SHE HEARS FROM
LOST DAUGHTER

Mrs. NJ. S. Hutchinson, of this city,
who has had a search instituted by
the police of the coast cities for her
daughter, Mrs. Pearl Cummings, who
left Alaska, October 81. 1912, to visit
the mother, has received a letter pur-
porting to be from Mrst Cummings
1t was written in Seattle and said that
she was leaving for Alaska because of
business and was sorry that she could
not visit her mother. Mrs. Cummings
is supposed to have had $4,000 in
cash with her when she left Alaska.
Mrs. Hutchinson, a hard working
woman, who recently came here from
Portland and opened a boarding
house, is still worried about her dau-
ghter however.
THE letter does not seem to be in
PEARLS writing" she says, "and l am
afraid that either the long Alaskan
winters have effected her mind or she
is a victim of white slavers" Mrs.
Hutchinson intends to continue her
investigation until the daughter is
found.
Mrs. Cummings who was a waitress
in a Portland hotel when the Alaskan
rush started, went to the north coun-
try and roughed it as miner, picking
up quite a fortune at Itidarod and

DISTRICT AROUSES
POULTRY INTEREST

The little district No. 4, three miles
north of Freewater on the Tuna
Lum river. is the first school district
in the county to endorse and adopt
the plan of interesting the pupils in
the poultry industry. According to
reports received at the office of
County School Superintendent Young,
the head of every family in the dis
trict has donated setting of stand
ard bred eggs to a pupil in the school
and the birls Matched from these eggs
will be exhibited at show to be held
in the district next fall. The winners
at this show are to be sent to the an
nual fair in this city
Prof. w. w. Green, who has charge
of the school. is responsible for the
lead which District No has taken.
He aroused interest first in the pu-
pills and then in the parents and re-
suits soon followed. 1t has been de-
cided that the pupils shall experiment
this year with White Orpingtons,
White Wyandootes and White Ply
mouth Rocks.
Prof. Green also has the distinction
of being the first instructor to insti-
tute the plan of giving school credits
for home work. This is pet plan of
State Superintendent Alderman and
one which he has been trying to in
troduce in all of the schools of the
state. BY it. a pupil received limited
credits for attention to household and
home duties, and it is said that it has
had great results upon the deport-
ment of children wherever tried.

joyed very short career as a bad

peare1 in the saloon of Henry Latour-

ELKS MUSICAL TO
BE A RARE TREAT

big rehearsal of the Elks' show,
THE College Pennant," which will
be staged Fednesday and Thursday,
March 26 and 81, was held at the ar
mory yesterday.
The first and second acts were
worked by the principals and the mag
nitude of the play proved a most
agreeable surprise to the cast and the
committee in charge of the produc-
ton.
The music of the piece has made a
great hit with the big chorus. Both
the music and the dances are of a
much higher class than is usually
found in the musical comedies pre-
sented here by travelling companies.
Several of the company gathered at
Wheeler's studio yesterday morning
for pictures which will be used for ad-
vertising purposes.
Rehearsals will be held every aft
ernoon and evening until the dates,
There is more genuine enthusiasm dis
played among the participants and the
Elks generally in this production than
for any local show ever put on in
Pendleton.
The College Pennant" made big
hit in Portland and the committee,
which is composed of L. d. Drake and
Jack Gibson is putting forth every eff
fort to duplicate that successful pre-
sentation.

LOCAL men D|SCRED|T STORY THAT
WALLA WALLA PLANS A ROUNDUP

Interest has been taken here today
in stories published in Walla Walla
papers to the effect that some peo-
pie in the Garden City are planning to
hold a Roundup in that city this fall,
using not only the name of the Pen
dleton show but the slogan as well.
Among prominent local business
men and Commercial club workers
the Walla Walla story is discredited,
for 1t is the feeling here that the sem
timent among the better element at
walla Walla would strictly oppose
such glaring infringement on PEN
dleton's program. 1t is pointed out
that the general desire of both COM
munities of late years has been to
work together in harmony and that
therefore it would be decidedly un-
ethical for Walla Walla to attempt a
reproduction of the Roundup.
For the purpose of considering the
subject and the appointment of a
delegation to meet with Walla Walla
business men a special meeting of the
Commercial club was called by Pres
ident Tallman this afternoon. Dur
ing the forenoon the Walla Walla
situation was discussed at confer
ence between President Tallman or
the Commercial club. Secretary Rit-
ner, President Taylor of the Round
UP, Secretary c. H. Marsh and others.
At that time 1t was agreed to call the
club meeting this afternoon. Follow
ing the meeting it was declared by
those present that there can be no
possible justification for such action
in Walla walla as the Roundup this
year does not conflict in dates with
the Walla walla fair and there Is no
source of friction whatever between
the two towns.
The story Is as follows:
LET 'er Buck"
The walla walla Roundup will be
the next big event in the Pacific
Northwest, unless all plans go glim-
mering, a number of prominent peo-
pie of this city having started an agi-
tation favoring a purely western show
of such proportions that 1t Will
eclipse anything of the kind ever at
tempted. It was rumored yesterday
that the county fair association was
to deviate from its program or past
years in favor of Roundup, but
when asked concerning the report
Secretary r. H. johnson declined
either to to confirm or deny 1t.

MAN WHO FIOORED

and will be brought to Baker by Sher-
iff Ed Rand.
Feamster was charged with gam
bling at Halfway and was taken to
Carson to stand trial and during the
arranging for his bonds he floored the
justice and made his getaway.

ed in Walla Walla several years ago
when the county fair association stag
ed some spectacular scenes in the CEN
ter field of the race track in connec-
ton with the annual fair, but was
dropped year or two later when
complaint was made that the horses
were mistraeated by the buckarooes
and the Humane Society had threat
ened to take action.
Pendleton then took up the Round
up and for the past three or four
years has drawn enormous crowds by
an exhibition but little ahead of those
given here. The Roundup associa-
ton has declined to affiliate with the
Northern Pacific association, and has
insisted on making its dates regard
less of the dates set for the fairs in
other towns, and by so doing is said
to have antagonized practically every
other town of any size on the circuit.
Have the Goods.
1t has been pointed out by the pro-
moters of the Walla Walla Roundup
of 1918 that they will be able to Sc
cure better horses, practically the
same riders and more Indians than
have been in attendance at the Una
tilla capital city events. and it is said
some of the most influential and
wealthy residents of this community
have signified their willingness to fl
nance the show the first year in or
der that attractive prizes may be of
fered to secure the best talent in the
west.
Merge With Fair.
Just when definite action looking to
the organization of the Roundup as
sociation of Walla Walla will be taken
has not been announced, but several
of the live wires Interested were about
the streets yesterday getting the senti-
ment of the people of the valley and
1t is understood were given assurance
of hearty support from every side. 1t
of hearty support from every side. 1t
has been hinted that If the plans ma
terialize the county fair would be
wholly revolutionized and the stock
and agricultural exhibits given each
year in the conjunction with the west
ern show.
Officers of the association are re-
ticient. however. and no not care to
have the association mentioned in
connection with the Roundup at this
time. They do not deny, however,
that in case the Roundup becomes a
reality the county fair will be merged
with It and the two conducted jointly
each year.
