ROUND-UP WILL
NOT BE TAKEN TO
SAN ERANCISCO
Pendleton, Considering that It
would he disloyal to the people who
have been so loyal to the Hound-I'p
and further. Hint it would be impos
sible to transfer the spirit which
makes the Hound -I'p famous, the
Hoard of Directors have definitely
and conclusively turned down the
mngnnnimous ntTer from the Hoard
of Directors of the San Francisco
Exposition to bring the Pound I'p
down there In October. The spirit
and the principle of the Mound-Dp
would both be involved if an effort
was made to tear it up and trans
plant it on the Exposition grounds
Consequently the only Hound-I'p
which will be held this year will be
at Pendleton, September 2.1, 24 and
II,
For the past two months the Ex
position officials have been making
overtures to the Hound-Dp to come
down there and reproduce the I9l.ri
show Negotiations progressed so
far that a definite offer of all expens
es and a big bonus was made and at
! their rciiucHt Hoy Mlshop, one of the
directors, went to San Franrlco to
discuss details Hut after the mat
ter hail ben definitely settled so far
as the monetary details were con
cerned the Hound-I'p directors de
cided to refuse the offer for the rea
son given above.
To move the Hound-I'p to Snn
Francisco would have entailed a cost
against the exposition of approxi
mately : , 000 with 110,000 addi
tional for staging the show down
there. All this they agreed to pay
and then give a bonus but even with
all that the spirit and loyalty of the
Hound-I'p could not have been boxed
up and shipped along with the horses
tare roaches and Indiana. There
will be no Hound-Dp in 'Kriaco.
