Protest Made Against Dates
of Businessmen's Excursion
From Portland to Coos Bay
PendIetOn CommerCiaIAssOCiatiOn Sends Letter
Calling Attention to the Fact the Plan May
Interfere With Attendance From Rose City at
the Roundup Here.

The letter to the Portland Chamber
of Commerce is as follows;
"Pendleton, ore, July a. 1916,
The Chamber Of Commerce, Port
land, Oregon.
Gentlemen We have read in the
Portland newspapers that the date for
the Portland Business Mems excur-
sion to Coos Bay has been set for the
week Immediately preceding the an
nual Pendleton Roundup, which oc-
ours this year September 2lst, 22d
and 23rd.
We think this action will seriously
interfere with the attendance at our
annual festival by Portland people
because few, If any who have devoted
week to an out-of-town excursion
will be inclined to spare the time,
durin the next following week. to
anything but strict attention to bust
ness.
We suspect that the date for the
Coos Bay excursion was probably Sc
lected without thought Of its rela
tion to the Pendleton Roundup
dates, Whether or not that is so, it is
surely an injustice to US and we re-
spectfully urge that you give the
matter serious consideration and II
practicable, change the date Of which
we are contemplating
| hardly think 1t necessary to re-
mind you Of the very cordial rela-
tions which have long existed be-
tween Portland and Pendleton Youl
loyal support of the Roundup and
our reciprocal ac.icu toward the Rose
Festival is so well known and univer-
sally recognized as to make recount
ing OF details superruous
The fine spirit manifested in Port
land toward our move for initiating
a measure to establish Il state norma
school in Pendleton and your prom
ised support Of the measure, now thai
it's position on the ballot is assured
is the latest and most valued evidence
Of your friendly feeling toward us
assure you Of a lively apprecia
ton in Pendleton Of the many friend

Effort is Begun
to Regain Estate
of Late Resident
PETITION is FILED IN ENDEAVOR
TO SECURE PROPERTY ES-
CHEATED TO STATE.

More than four years after the death
Of the late Absalom Master Erb Of
this city, "A petition was filed this
morning in the circuit court by At
torney VIII NJ. Peterson representing
six persons who claim to be heirs of
the deceased and who ask that the
state return to them the property OF
the deceased which escheated to the
state when the local authorities fail
ed to find any trace of an heir.
Mr.. Erb died in this city May H.,
1912 He had lived here some years
alone and spoke little of any rela-
tives. It was known that he had lost
wife and child and some few heard
him speak of niece. However. all
search for relatives failed and two
years ago the estate which he left
was escheated to the state as provid-
ed by law. He owned a house and
two lots on the north side and these
were sold to J, e. Tryon and A. Elk
lund. After all expenses and debts
had been paid the sum of $1S9711
was turned over to the state.
4 company in California, which
makes business of searching for
heirs to estates that have been es-
cheated, began an investigation and
claims to have found six heirs, name

amount left by the local man and
payable to the alleged heirs.

Protesting against the proposed
Portland Business Mems excursion to
Coos Bay the week preceding the
Round Up, the Pendleton Commercial
Association has sent letter to the
Portland Chamber or Commerce ask
ing that the date be changed If prac-
tcable.
1t is thought that the date for the
trip Coos Bay was selected without
thought Of its relation TO Pendlet N
Roundup September 2l 20 and 20,
such trip would doubtless serious
ly interfere with the attendance at
the show AZ those who have already
devoted week to an Out-ot-town eX-
cusion would be incfined TO feel the
necessity of attending TO strict bus-
ness the following week.
The most cordial relations and the
most kindly feeling exists between
Portland and Pendleton and 1t Is felt
as soon as the proposition is present

suitable action when the Elks held

from Pendleton and this year the

val with gracious queen and king.
In turn Portland has been one OF
the central figures in each Roundup
In 1912 and 1913 Portland sent eight
special trains here and as many oT
more are expected at the 1916 show
Pendleton IS deeply appreciatiye OF
the fine spirit which exists between

looked with much favor upon the In
