COWBOY STATUE RECEIVING ATTENTION SCULPTOR MAKES SUGGESTIONS FOR ONE vAgaln the Idea of a cowboy statue xo Victor Lewis, a Tacoma sculptor, In a letter to Mark Moorhouso. one of tho Round-up directors, suggests a $10,000 bronze monument to the pic turesque western citizen and he also recommends a few plans for raising the necessary money. Ills most unique Plan Is to sell postal pictures of a model of the statue and then Invest tho proceeds in cows. The increase within two and a half years, the time necessary for the making of the statue would net a sum sufficient to pay the price, ho thinks. His letter in full follows: Tacoma, Wash., Sept 2. 1913. Mr. Mark Moorhouso. Pendleton, Ore. My Dear Mr. Moorhouse Your fa vor of August 29th at hand. About two years ago I was In correspondence with the management of the Round up relative to a monument of a cow rv fnr thn flenot grounds. Now Mr. Moorhouso, It very frequently requires quite a while to get a thing like that inrteit In mv letter to the Round- ii n I suggested having a scheme to help raise the funds. The proper way to begin of course is to organize a fi nance committee of Interested and in fluential citizens If you had such a committee It would be quite easy for men then to offer suggestions which, I think, would prove their worth In assisting to accomplish the aim of the committee. First of alt. when I wrote. It was my Intention to make a model of a cowboy monument In. ptaster a fam almlle of what the large and complet ed one would bo. This would be pho tographed and a series of postcards gotten up which would be sold nt the nound-up and npply on the fund for n monument.

Sept. 6 The discovery of a headless nude body of a young woman, half hurled In a sand bank along the Hudson riv er, has given the police a mystery to solve. - - " I Hoys found the corpse Near It lav a bloody pillow and sheet, with every Indication that the slayers were frightened away, leaving thf ghastly s-ork half done. Physicians say the girl wns In per fect health when death came. Her appearance Indicated she was accus tomed to luxury. Her hands were beautifully manicured.

There is no un dertaking so large that cannot be ac complished If done In a systematic and methodical manner; so with this. It would be necessary to properly or ganize and carry on the plans accord ing to a system. A committee of five persons should be organized, chair man, secretary and treasurer. In fact there should be two treasurers or rather that office should be held Jointly by two persons as It assures the safekeeping of all funds. It has been my experience that peo ple ns a rule, do not respond readily to the call of making "free will of fering" for any purpose whatsoever, unless they are wonderfully enthus ed. Therefore the only safe way or rnther sure way Is to "give something for the money" and let the proceeds) apply on the fund. In this case of a "Cowboy" monument, T think you have every reason to expect the assist ance of your "Boosters' Club" as the advertising resulting from such a monument would be widespread. Be sides the press notices and magazine articles published, motion pictures would be taken of the unveiling, which would be seen over the world and it could be made known that Pendleton, the home of the Round-up was the first city In the world to honor America's most representative citizen, "The Cowboy on His Pony" In this wav the Round-up and also Pendleton Itself no doubt would be well boosted.

GIRL AND COWBOY MARRIED SECRETLY It now appears that the girl riding overland from Spokane was Induced to make her long overland Journey by something other than the Tlound-up for upon her 'arrival here Thursday night she was greeted by none other than frank Stanton, well known cow hoy, and to the people about the lion-man hotel they announced them selves as man and wife, producing a marriage certificate to provj their! statement. i The girl, who, was Miss Kuth Olas-' cow. and her cowboy husband have been secretly married for several weeks but have not let the fact be known because of parental objection on her side. Her home Is across the Ca nadian border nojth of Spokane and when the two separated, they plan ned on meeting again at the Pendle ton Kound-up However, the has band did not expect her so soon and neither did he expect her to make the Journey on horseback, so that her ar rival was a surprise to him.
