hearty support, as it all goes to make
better and safer Pullman.

locals in the second game ana was
hit freely all through the contest a

CLEANUP CAMPAIGN
IS STRONGLY URGED
In Report by the Chamber of Com
merce Committee on Sanitation
and Civic Improvement

At the regular luncheon of the
/ Chamber OF Commerce Tuesday the
committee on sanitation and civic
Improvement presented the follow
ing report:
Your committee on sanitation and
civic improvement has read the lit
erature and reports of the annual
Clean Town Contest" held in the
State of Utah, under the auspices of
| the Utah State Board of Health. and
We believe that such contest for
cities and towns in the state OF Wash
ington would be of great benefit to
the various communities and to the
state as whole
We recommend that the Pullman
Chamber of Commerce initiate
movement to have the Utah plan, or
some similar plan, adopted and pat
into operation by the Washington
state Board of Health. This could
be done by interesting other Com
mercul clubs to urge the adoption
Of such a plan.
We recommend that the mayor be
asked to name next week as Clean
Up and Paint Up Week" for Pull
man, and that a newspaper campaign
be carried on this week and lext
week in the local papers,
A few of the things necessary to
make Pullman a beautiful, clean and
sanitary town are as follows:
/. Better lawns and parking, and
the planting of trees. Under present
conditions there is not sufficient en-
enlargement for citizens to keep mp
lawns and parking on account of the
high water rate for sprjnklng, and
the fact that so many people fail to
keep on the sidewalks, and ruin new
lawns and parking by walking on
item We recommend that the city
council be asked to make a lower
water rate for the summer months
and that the newspapers be request
ed to urge people to keep on the side
walks
>. More frequent cleaning Of the
paved streets in residence districts.
3. Cleaning up of manure.
A. Disposal of ashes. cans and
other refuse. We recommend that
citizens be requested to place such
refuse in containers in the alleys.
and that the same be hauled away
during the latter part Of clean up
week. A number of our people keep
their places free of garbage by burn
ing the same in stoves and furnaces,
and a more general use of this
method is recommended,
;. An application of paint or
stain to buildings where it is nee l.
ed would add much to the appear
ance of the town. This applies par
ticularly to wood houses, barns, etc.
Dealers in paints could help in this
matter by using some advertising
space during the next two weeks for
the purpose of urging general
painting up.
The report was discussed at length
and the committee was instructed TO
devise a plan by which the recon-
mendations as to the disposal of
ashes, cans and garbage can be en-
forced.

Tomahawk, totem pole, moccasin,

words, as also toboggan. A young
lady after her first coast exclaimed
that she would not have missed the

urged to repeat the experience re-
piled, not for thousand dollars"
From the Indians We get such
words as canoe, pirogue, a dug out,
kiak, the skin canoe Of Alaska, as
well as tepee, wigwam, hogan, toopic
and wickiup, the names for various
houses among the Indians. Papoose,
squaw and potlatch are familiar
words, aswell as such names for
mriefs as sachems, sycamore. wero-
vance. tyee and mugmump, which
latter term has gotten into politics as
has also the name or the Indian chief
Tammany. Somehow Indian matters
seem TO end up in olitics so it is
ting to close with caucus, originally

similar significance-pow-wow.

HOW THE CROWD
is HANDLED

As an evidence of the spirit of CO.
operation which has made it possible
for Pendleton year after year to abb
sorb several times her own population
during Roundup week is the arrange
ment provided this year for accommO-
dating the people coming in automo-
| biles.
Many motorists prefer to camp dur
ing their stay here and most all Of
them desire places for parking their
cars. When it was learned that the
auto traffic to Pendleton this year
would be much greater than ever be-
fore, the city council and the school
board came TO the aid Of the Round
Up association. The school board
turned over the four school blocks for
parking and camping purposes and
offered the free use of the toilets and
lavatories of the school buildings. The
city council hired man and woman
attendant for each of the buildings
and provided free towels for the Wis
itOrs.
This is but a sample Of the spirit
that has been generated to make for
the success of the Roundup.
1t is an answer to the many ques-
tions asked as to how Pendleton man.

who come each year TO see the Round

Though Pendleton has large hotels
and many rooming houses, the ac-

big frontier show Therefore. it be-
came necessary, after the first per-
what promised to be the Round-Up's
greatest problem.
Fortunately, the problem did not
become a problem Of consequence al
all, thanks TO the splendid spirit

An appeal was made to them to throw
open their houses for the visitors. and
the response was general Rich and
poor listed their rooms with the ac-
commodation bureau Of the Round

beds otherwise unavailable.
The Roundup association itself
purchased several thousand cots and
rented these to residents at a nomi-
nal charge A uniform price of 81

Some Facts About the Roundup BuCkers

Baldy. the big black horse with
stocking legs, was once a ropmg
horse and belonged To r. S. Dixon OF
Prineville, one of the Round Up
judges. Dixon says he was a good
roping horse but insisted on buckms
every morning that he was saddled.
Now he does nothing but buck.
Pin Ears Is a horse that can be adj
iusted to circumstances. He is a
bucker at times and at other times he
Is a saddle horse, The Round Up
bought him several years ago at on
tarlo and he was a good hucker. Later
though he seemed to oe getting tired
OF bucking and Bert Whitman bought
him for a saddle horse. After a year
or 80 Whitman sold him to George
Drumheller and he is again at the
Roundup with Drumheller's buck
ing string. Drumbeller says he uses
him as bucker as long as he is
bucklng good and, when he slacks up,
he puts him in the SADDLE string.
Casey Jones, the little buckskin
with a stripe down mis- back, Is
counted as one of the best buckers
the Roundup owns He was orig
inally an Indian horse. Bill Jamison
saw him ridden at an Indian round
up at Thorn Hollow several years ago
and bought him for q saddle horse
Bert Whitman was in partnership
with Jameson and they turned the
