that will make for itselfa place in the
agricultural life of the Northwest
which viii eventnAllya@ume the same
Importance in this section of the coun-
try as the international Grain and Hay
show at Chicago were three things
that We're urged by speakers and ac-
cepted enthus' 'astically by the audi
Of the Pendleton Commercial Associa-
tion last night.
Praise for the Roundup was voic-
ed in no uncertain terms by Marshall
Dana. chief speaker OF the evening.
and. he called attention to the oppor-
tunity that will be afforded Pendleton
in 1925 to make the big show better
than ever and to attract more visitors
than ever before.
An offer to carry advertising Of the
Roundup in the publicity that it put
out by Portland for the exposition was
advanced by the speaker, and he. de-
clared that this advertising could be
made without COST to the Round Up
association. A letter from President
Julius Meier authorizing the promise
made by Dana was read by the speak
er.
Something of the, history of the
Round-JEp and Happy Canyon were
told by Fred Steiwer. and he called at

show in its infancy and the directors
who now are contributing great deal

'In return, these directors receive
nothing but thanks, and not so very
much OF that steiwer said. "And it
seems TO me that the least the rest of
MS can do is to get in and lend our sup
port to the shows wherever I'VE are
needed without asking or even expect
ing to receive any financial reward
for our service beyond the conscious
ness of having been Of assistance in the
greatest shows of their kind in the
world"
Speaking as one of the comparative
" new boosters for the Round-up, the
Rev. G. l. Clark, in one of his charac-l
teristic, witty speeches, pledged his
support TO the big show and asked that
the management bear in mind that
while they are putting on the great
est spectacle of its kind in the world
that the program be confined to a con-
structive plane.
when we build highways and give
shows we are not only doing work. :

ideal should not be forgotten"

Action; Members Favor Real
Auto, Camp Ground Park.

Recommendation that the city
council take steps as quickly as pos
sible to purchase ground one mile
east of the city on the Old oregon
Trail from Il. w McComas as site
for city dumping ground was made
last night at a meeting Of the City
Planning Comm 'ssion. The sum of
$1,000 was fixed by the commission as
the probable amount that would be
necessary for its use during 1922, The
fixing of this sum was made in order
for the budget committee to have an
estimate of expense to incorporate in
the budget for the coming year
The purchase OF the site east of
town was considered advisable By the
commission after it was found that
the members of the body are unani-
mous in their desire to have installed
a septic tank in the west end of the
city 1t was pointed out that several
loads of waists are being pumped on
the present grounds in the west end
daily. and discontinuance of this
practice was considered desirable by
the commission.
The expenses estimated by the eom-
miss on as necessary to its work will
be between $500 and $4,000, it was es-
timated. Money will be needed for
clerical work, landscape architects

some preliminary engineering work, it
is thought.

Need Better Camp.
After paying tribute to the strong
position occupied by Umatilla county
in the readjustment period now under

praise and censure when he dwelt on
the shortcomings of the city in its
failure to provide ample camp grounds
for the accommodation of tourists In
the company of President James II.

Of the city. and one of the places vis-
tied was the camp grounds.

people are travelling by auto now. and
that this traffic is increasing by leaps
and bounds every year? under

organized and which is working on
this problem"

the speakers criticism was made by

Power Development Big Problem.
Dwelling on the undeveloped re-
sources of Oregon, Dana declared that
a start has not even beeh made yet
in unlocking the treasures that are to
be found in the states rivers, its un-
developed tand and what may be un-
der the land.
-tDo YOU realize that we have billi-
ons of feet of lumber in our state
awaiting the saws and that our
streams are capable of developing

energy? And we don't know vet what

That the umatilla Rapids project
for the development of electro hydro
power is one of the biggest and most
Worthwhile pieces of constructive
work clamoring to be done, was a
statement of the speaker Ife declar-
ed that the work must be doae on such
a large scale, so thoroughly, that ell
