PLENTY OF MUSIC OUT
AT THE BAND CONCERT

That there was plenty of sooth-
ing lotion for savages, provid-
ing music does soothe the savage,
could not be denied last night.
There We're tunes to the right Of
us, tunes to the left of us. and,
for good measure, Painless Park
er tuned on all sides of us. YER
lily the air was rent with sweet
refrain.
A. w. Lundell, attired in a re-
plica of Sousa's best, led the re-
juvenated Pendleton Round-Up
band through a very satisfactory
concert at the corner of Main
and Ala streets. The boys had
not blown a note for two weeks
and they came back strong. That
isl they went like house afire
until they needed owl eyes. Owl
eyes were needed because the
city light man forgot to turn on
the lights on Main street.
One block removed from the
scene of the concert. the Saliva
tion Army made its bid for pop
ularity. There was some very
good singing. few cornet solos.
just as fervent but not quite SO
good. and some stirring talks in
addition. The army had no small
audience itself. despite the COM
petition.
For those who did not feel able
to walk to either of the concerts
on Main street, the little white
auto with the electric bells fur
nished jazzy ringing tunes. 1t
was a merry musical evening all
in all. and one with enough little
incidents for all to remember.
After the band, the army and
the teeth pullers had folded up
their instruments and stolen
away, Mccormick turned loose
his jazz orchestra in the Eagle
Woodman hall and Pendleton was
able to lend ear to still another
variety of music until the mid
night hour. Yes. it was large
evening. musically speaking.

PAXTON SHEEP BURNED
IN ELGIN FOREST FIRE

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 29.-John
Paxton received a message from Elsin,
Ore. Thursday saying that 500 sheep
belonging to him had been burned in
great forest fire that is raging in
that vicinity. No accurate estimate
of the amount of tho loss could be
made until it was learned whether
the animals were fun grown sheep or
lambs. However. II was said by many
that an, average mixed herd of 500
would be worth at least 10000.
Mr.. Paxton's sheep were not on the
Wenaha reserve but were on pasture
near the edge of the national forest
about midway between Elsln and
Palmer Junction, Ore.
