Brotherhood Discussion of Roundup
Brings Out Many Arguments, With
Affirmative Predominating.-Uma.
tilla Rapids Project Next Month.

The subject up for discussion at
the Brotherhood meeting on Monday
evening was "What Benefit is the
Pendleton Roundup to Eastern Ore
gon," and the two principal speakers,
introducing the subject were S. Z.
Notson and A. M. Phelps. They were
followed in a general discussion, in
which the subject was attacked from
just about as many different angles.
The discussion was quite lively, and
engaged in by quite large number,
President Waters going down the line
on each side of the long table and
calling on each one for his say.
While the Introductory speeches
we're along the line of commendation,
to a large degree, of the Roundup
as good advertising feature for
Eastern Oregon - and particularly
for Pendleton, others seemed to be
of the opinion that the actual good
of the great show was counteracted
to large degree by it5 harmful in
fuence, especially on the youth of
the tributary sections of the round
up city. The first speaker to voice
an adverse thought was W. o. Liv-
ingstone, who had never seen the
Roundup, and was only speaking for
the "of" side more to bring out some
of the Objectionable features and to
get the "ball rolling" Many other
speakers Joined in on this side of
the question, but there were plenty
to give the pageant big boost, and
withal, the great thing brought out,
and the feature that is the big one
for both Pendleton and Eastern Ore
gon, is the Pendleton spirit--some-
thing that Heppner was urged to
emulate. There may be some things
Objectionable to the Roundup in the
minds Of great many people, and
it is doubtless true that everything
staged there at this time is not sane
toned by all the Pendleton people,
but you would never know it from
them. because it is something Pen
dleton wants, and Pendleton has it,
and all her people 60 In for it for all
they are worth, and it is great sue
cess from almost any angle the
Roundup may be viewed.
II is needless to remark that after
all was said that could be on both
sides Of the subject, no definite ac-
tion looking to putting the Roundup
off the map, was taken, and the Pen
dleton folks will continue to pull off
their great annual pageant and more
and more people will be attracted
from a distance each year to see it,
and while seeing the big show, will
see plenty more of the natural at
fractions Of Oregon, and out of this
will come lot Of good both to East
ern Oregon and the entire state.
During the progress of the lunch
con the program, which consisted Of
songs "by the congregation pre-
pared mainly by W. 0. Livingstone
and C. c. Calkins, and led by the for
mer, with Prof. Mather presiding at
the piano, there was much good fell
lowship and very enjoyable hour,
the program committee being com
graduated on this manner of fur
nishing some diversion while the
meal progressed. The luncheon was
tip top and the hotel management
was rendered rising vote Of thanks
for the fine manner in which the
Brotherhood was served in this re-
gard. The Umatilla rapids project
wilt be settled at the December meet
