er charges on our merchants
and eventually on the consumer
will be necessary. Fortunately
the number of deliveries can be
reduced 33 per cent and still
give us four deliveries a day
which should be sufficient for
all purposes. Then if consum-
ers will use care, as suggested,
so as to have their deliveries
combined a greater economy
may be worked with benefit to
all. Pendleton is fortunate in
having its delivery business
handled by men who are cap
able, courteous and very loyal
to the town. They are endeav-
oring in good faith, not to raise
prices and make more money,
but to save the city from the
necessity of higher delivery
charges. They are playing
square with the people. Let
us all play square with them
and all Pendleton will be the
gamer.

TILE PENDLEroN PENDULUM.

(From the Portland Oregonian.)
For the eighth consecutive year
Pendleton has held its Roundup. In
those eight years the show has grown
from a small local affair given in
a fenced-off street TO one OF the fa-
nous entertainments of the country.
From Boston to San Francisco from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf, the Pen
dleton Round-Up stands supreme and
alone in its class. other shows of
like nature have come and gone. but
today there is but one real wild horse
Indian show In the country-the Pen
dleton RoundUp.
In a case of survival Of the fittest
there must be a reason for such fit
ness. In this Instance It is not diff
cult to discover. The Roundup is
but flood time. an overflowing of
the Pendleton spirit, of PendletOn
team work, OF municipal cooperation.
The Pendleton Roundup is not the
business Of this man or that man. II
is not the business OF any group Of
men-It is the business Of every man.
woman and child in PendIeton. 1t
knows no faction, is hampered by no
clique. ruled By no ring. 1t is of the
people, for the people and by the
people Of Pendleton, standing hand in
hand shoulder to shoulder Ike
we'll drilled army.
OF course, Till Taylor Is the presi-
dent. the chief, so to
speak. But I'll Taylor subordinates
himself to the lowliest citizen Of the
town II It IS necessary for the success
Of the Roundup. He Is the titular
boss. but an easy boss" so easy. so
silent. so self-effacing that the stran-
ger might think him a man without
force. Yet he is a man Of steel with
"a heart OF gold. and every citizen
ubeys his every order.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1917-09-24

Years ago, when the Roundup was
in its making, there were, perhaps,
factions in Pendleton. Factions in
small cities usually begin with trou-
Bile among the banks over the county,
city or other public funds The lead
ers of the Pendleton banks held
love feast and agreed to an exact di-
vision of all public deposits Since
then neither bank has stood for a
candidate-they have become far re-
moved from politics. Through that
and similar reasons Pendleton has the
two largest and strongest banks in
Oregon outside of Portland. Each
has over $3,OOO,OOO deposits. Their
com bined deposits were at the last
call. September IL. S611S, ,229.72. To-
day they are nearly half a million
greater, for the wheat money is just
beginning to come in.
Perhaps we have thus given the
basic reason for the growth of the
city, for the success of its ventures.
for its standing among the cities of
the state. 1t was the elimination of
political rivalry that brought the
banks close to the people, and then
the people headed by the banks, Sc
cured the great Pendleton Wooler
Mill, the Eastern oregon Hospital for
the Insane. the Blewett Harvester
company, and many smaller enter
prises So the little city of 440O in
1910. the twelfth city in the state,
will show an immense gain by the
census of 192O-shows it today.
The Pendleton pendulum swings
back and forth with rhythm and GER
tainty. 1t does not move with hesi-
fancy today and acceleration tomor-
how. Steadily. regularly, propelled by
a united, homogeneous community, it
clicks off the seconds of growth,
moves the minute hand on steady
round of progress and urges the hour
hand around and around in an ever
increasing sweep of prosperity.

ON THEIR OWN WHEELS

sm HE increase in auto travel
VI to the Roundup is one OF
the interesting features
connected with our show. In
1910 the handling of the
Roundup crowd was almost
entirely a railroad problem. But
so generally has the auto come
into use that the railroad end
of the game is a secondary mat
ter now. 1t was easy to see this
year that more people came to
Pendleton by motor car than
by rail. This despite the fact
that eastern Oregon roads are
bad in the fall and most peo-
pie know it. What may we eX-
pect of the future when roads
will be much improved and
the number of autos in use is
increased?

principle of patriotism and mu-

in detail the facts as presented

liable and efficient concern
is convinced that the requests
they make are reasonable in
every respect and should be

suit that the number Of de'iv-
cries must be reduced or high

NO WAR UPON MOZART

~ HE board of directors Of
VI the Metropolitan opera
in New York is confront
ed with a problem in the form
of requests from some people
that German music be exclud-
ed from the New York grand
opera season this year. Evil
IDENTIFY the objectors think they
manifest extreme patriotism
whereas they merely display
foolishness. We are not at
war with the Germany of Mo
zart and Beethoven. We fight
not against the good that Ger
many has produced but as
President Wilson says to save
the world from "The menace
and actual power of a vast mil
itary establishment controlled
by an irresponsible govern
ment." For America to boy
colt the best German music
during the war would not hurt
the kaiser in the slightest de-
gree. We have no occasion for
hating the music masters of the
fatherland and it is misplaced
zeal to place their productions
under the ban.

$2.o5 FOR WHEAT

40 HEN the basic price of
US2.20 Chicago for wheat
was set the East Ore
gonian pointed out the inius-
tice of the arrangement from
the standpoint of the north
west farmer and urged that in
aSmuch as many ships are be-
ing constructed on the Pacific
coast they should be used for
grain carrying and if such
could be done our men should
have the advantage of the saw
ing in transportation costs. 1t
appears that the food admins
tration has realized this point
and that the price of S2.05 for
bulk grain at northwest termi-
mails is granted because of the
possibility much of our wheat
will go by water. The price
agreed upon is in the nature of
a compromise yet it indicates
the desire of the government
to be fair and to correct injus-
tice wherever the case present
ed is found to be based on facts
and not upon mere selfishnetss.
The news received Saturday
approximately a million
dollars more profit for Una
tilla county this year but the
change was not made to benefit
our farmers but to give them as
nearly as possible a square deal
as compared with the farmers
of the middle states.
