1915 Roundup and who became the
Queen Muriel Of the last Portland
Rose Show and Of the Astoria Regat-
Ia, was queen OF the 1912 Roundup.
She is native daughter of Umatilla
county, her father, now County Clerk
Frank Sailing having been connected
with the stock business all his life.
She herself, is now deputy county
clerk and very efficient one. After
the first of the year she plans to en-
gage in the insurance business,
To Miss Gladys Mcdonald fell the
honor of being queen of the fourth
Roundup, A daughter of a pioneer
rancher, she was well qualified for
the royal office. She still lives in
Pendleton and though we will not say
that her heart has never been lassoed,
she has not been branded with the
golden ring.
Miss Lulu Matlock was chosen as
queen of the 1914 Round-Up and, in
that capacity accompanied PEN
dleton booster excursion to Spokane.
She is granddaughter of former
Mayor Matlock, one of the best known
pioneer characters of eastern Oregon.
She is not yet through her school be-
ing registered at St. Helen's Hall in
Portland.
Miss Doris Reber, daughter of DIR.
and Mrs, D. n. Reber, was queen of
the Roundup last year. She had
been in Chicago several years hav-
ing her wonderful voice trained and
was back for the summer with her
parents. Besides riding in the pa
rade, she sang from horseback each
evening at the Happy Canyon enter
tainment. Miss Reber Is now In New
York as a protege OF Madame Zem-
brio.

Queens Who Have Reigned Over the Roundup

jority OF more than uve million votes
over the nearest OF her eleven rivals.
Ry virtue Of this election she became
also the queen ot the Columbia
highway, the dedication Of which was
q part Of the festivai program,
50 charming queen did she make
for the people of Portland that al
most three months later. the people
OF Astoria, breaking their time-hon-
ored precedent, nominated and elect
ed Miss Sailing to wear the crown at
their slst Regatta, The honor was
bestowed upon her without any sug-
gestion from PendletOn and came as
big surprise to her and her towns
people.
II was but natural then that. when
Pendeton people began looking for
a queen for their seventh annual
Roundup, they should turn without
moments hesitation to the maiden
who had already been accorded so
many titles of royalty.
BY rather odd coincidence.
Sheriff T D. Taylor, VINO Is president
of the Roundup, has been associated
with Queen Muriel, in one capacity
or another, in all her reigns. He was
chosen as the King JOY OF the Rose
Festival and shared her throne with
her, He it was who crowned her
Queen of the Columbia Highway. He
was made honorary admiral of the
Astoria Regatta fleet and. when he
attended in the triple capacity OF
member of the admiraIs staff, king
of sister festival and executive head
of another he was accorded a place
Well to the front OF Muriel' court. AS
president of the Roundup both in
1919 and 1915, 1t has become his duty
to crown her.
With all the honors paid her, with
all the fealty pledged her and all the
homage done her. sne prefers the
quietness of private life to the pomp
of royalty. The romance OF being
addressed as Your Majesty Is eli
very we'll for short time but It does
not suffice for one who lives In q
practical age and in a democratic ma
ton. Therefore, Queen MurieI in
everyday life is and mas been for two
years, though she is but 20 years old,
first deputy to her father who Is the
county clerk of Umatilla county.
Miss Sailing is a very attractive
young lady and she Is modest with
her attractiveness, She is capable and
efficient and she has an engaging
personality. All of these qualities
have made her popular in her home
town and to them. rather than to the
accident of birth does she owe the
privilege of being addressed as Queen
Muriel.
Where are the queens of yester-
year?
Six Round-Ups have come and gone
and every one of them had its queen.
Until this year no queen had ever
reigned twice. Every queen has been

blOOdthirSty Indians. such difficult
ties as arise in staging the Roundup
are absorbed by the directors, leaving
her the pleasures of reigning without
the headaches.
Her principal duty is to grace the
queens float in the Westward Ho
parade, and. to grace it properly, she
must typify the spirit of the old west.

Up sees her an enthusiastic spectator
at the show over which she first pre-
sided.
Miss Laura Mckee, now Mrs. Her

came enamored of the spirit of 1t for
it was not long afterwards that she
became the bride of a young farmer

til he married and quit the dangerous

mining business was placed strict

Less Forest Reserve
Editor Siftings-News:

EQltOr Ol1tlnSS-NewS:
A movement is soon to be inaug-
urated to eliminate from the Pike
National Forest about 100 GOO acres
of mineralized territory which in
cludes the mining camps of Ned
erland, Phoenixville, Rollinsville,
Perigo, Gilpin, Yankee Hill and
others, situated in Boulder, Gilpin
and Clear Greek counties.
Just why this territory should
ever have been included in a nat
ional forest in the first place is
a mystery that has never been
satisfactorily explained. A large
part of this area has been patent
ed as mineral and timber claims
for many years; while all of the
agricultural lands have been taken
up years ago. All of the timber
of any consequence on govern
ment land was removed long before
the reserve was established about
a dozen years ago.
The greater part of the ground
has been examined and reported
