T1TE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1914. 7 GREAT ROUNDUP IS ON AT PENDLETON TWO PICTURES OF QUEEN OF ROUNDUP. WHICH OPENED YES TERDAY AT PENDLETON. Weather Superb and Excite ment Is Furnished by Real Outlaw Bronchos. INDIANS' COLORS GORGEOUS All Events Stellar and Exhibitions of Nerve and Skill Bring Wild Applause Sideshow Features Win Warm Praise. BT ADDISON BENNETT. PENDLETON, Or.. Sept. 24. (Spe cial.) For the first day of the Round up the weather conditions were ideal, and after that you might add AA1, in fact there was never a finer day in the world for outdoor sports. Added to these conditions there was no dust to mar the sport, as is often the case. The attendance was some what disappointing-, being rather below that of the first day last year. Events Come Quickly. Now that the first day is over it Is only Just and proper to say that when it comes to managing these events the Pendleton people stand clear at the top of the heap. For four hours and a quarter the machinery of the show moved like clockwork. There was never a moment's let-up, never a wait or intermission. No. sooner was one act completed, or nearly so, than an other was coming on. The announcing was also as nearly perfect as possible, the three large megaphones instantly announcing to every quarter of the grounds the re sults. Everything; In Plain View. It is a fact that the grounds here are better in every way for putting on shows of a Wild West nature than anywhere else in the Northwest. Every Beat is a good one and every act is right under the eyes of every spec tator. The track being only a quarter of a mile, the events are so close that every step can be seen, and in the races, which are mostly half-mile heats, the horses pass the stand twice. This adds greatly to the interest and excitement of the riders and the audience. Governor Heads Parade. The' Indian spectacle today was one of the finest ever staged anywhere, undoubtedly surpassing anything of the kind ever before staged in the Northwest. In the grand parade there were fully 600 horses and as many riders, and of these 221 were Indians. The parade was headed by Till Tay lor, president of the Roundup, and Governor West. The Governor was not on his celebrated black mare, using a splendid mount furnished by Mr. Taylor. Sport Fast and Furious. As to the sport too much cannot be Bald. The roping, bulldogging, buck ing, and racing were all first class. There was plenty of excitement, as many riders were thrown and there were a number of minor accidents, but none of a serious nature. In the squaw race three of the Indian maidens and their ponies went down in a heap on the west turn, but there was little damage done to horses or riders. There were three bands on the grounds, the Pendleton mounted cow boy band, the Athena and the Walts burg bands. They kept up a steady fire of music all the afternoon, but, truth to tell, lew paid, much attention to them. Indians Gayly Clad. In speaking of the Indians it ought to be said that the Indian village, where the aborigines are quartered, has 113 tepees, and many of the visitors went through this after the show. The tepees are large and cleanly looking and the grounds around them are kept in fine order. Of course the raiment of the. red men and their companions was the gayest of the gay. It would stagger any artist to duplicate or even approach them with . crush and pigments. Girl Does Quirk: Work, In the roping contests Lucille Mul hall and Cuba Crutchfield seemed to be the stars if cheers and huzzas are any indication. Miss Mulhall is even a greater favorite than she was at Walla Walla, which is saying a good ceai. tone has, as:de from her skill, a winning way that appeals to the crowd. She had bad luck in her last event, roping and, tying a steer. She made a perfect throw and caught the brute Tairly and was off her horse in record time, but the horse failed to hold the animal and he got up. She remounted threw the steer again and tied him, all in 39 seconds, which was better than most of the men did. Blany Riders Vanquished. In the stagecoach race one horse or the leading team got its foot over the singletree of the horse ahead and ran three-eighths of a mile on three legs, and lost by only a length. That horse probably ran thS greatest three- legged race ever witnessed. In the bucking contests every horse provea to De a genuine outlaw. Such bucking Is seldom witnessed. Of the 18 riders five were thrown, some of them rather violently. Jackson Sundown, the Indian who had such hard luck at Walla Walla, was inrown upon nis back and was knocked out for some time. Taken as a whole, then, it can safelv be said that for sure enough thrilling sport it was the best first day the Roundup ever had. By that do not let it be understood that the downfall ot Sundown or any of the others was al together appreciated, but it is such thrilling mishaps that lend the ex citement. And all of the unfortunates will be all right in the morning. At least that was the statement made on the grounds. Curtaln-Rnlser la Provided. Pendleton is bound to be ahead in more ways than one. so last night a show was put on called "Happy Can yon," which was a humdinger. It was the best two-bit entertainment ever witnessed in the West. At least that was the consensus of opinion of the 6000 who attended. Happy Canyon is a frontier village. The .audience have seats on one side of the great tent. In the center is the main street of Happy Canyon. On the opposite are the building:, beginning on the west with a Chinese laundry anu ending on the east with the vil lage smithy. Between are the principal business houses of the burg, such as the Chicken millinery store, the bank, the hotel, the gambling houses, the saloons, principal of which is the Red Jjog. men there are the drug stores, a hardware store, the grocery store; about all of the business ' ouses seen In an infant frontier town.

It would take a column to name the laughable stunts pulled off. The Mayor of Happy Can yon, Joe Tillman,, and the City Mar shal, Jim Raley, say these "stunts" will be altogether different each night. The serious, or rather the aesthetical side was in the way of music by va rious bands and singing. Miss Reber, mounted on a fine horse, sang a sweet song, which was loudly applauded, and Jack Coleman sang his new Roundup song, "My Heart Goes Back to Dear Old Pendleton." This is called the official Roundup ballad, and it sure has the lilt in it to make It a great favorite.

Or., Sept. 24 (SpeciaL) That Portland National and state banks are not guilty of the charge of hoard ing money, building up enormous re serves, declining to make legitimate loans and demanding excessive interest. made by Secretary of the Treasury Mc Adoo, regarding oanks in certain parts of the country, is proved by a state ment made today by State Superintend ent of Banks Sargent. In fact, the statement shows that the Portland banks have Increased their loans almost $2,500,000 since June 30, although their deposits decreased al most $1,000,000. Despite the increase in loans and the apparent willingness of Portland banks to take care of all legitimate business, the average reserve has declined only 4 per cent, and is al most 10 per cent higher than the law require. Mr. McAdoo s declination to advance funds to Southern banks for moving crops because of the tendency to hoard money and refuse loans has no application to Portland, which de clined to accept Government assistance. Concerning the report, Mr. Sargent said In view of Secretary McAdoo a state ment appearing in the papers today these figures are interesting and reveal the fact that the Portland banks dur ing tbe past 60 days have not been hoarding their cash and building up their reserves by refusing to extend legitimate credits. On the other hand they have been meeting the heavy de- mands in an exceptionally creditable manner. Revenne Drops 4 Per Cent. "Since June 30 they have increased their loans and other securities to the extent of $2,410,000, notwithstanding the fact that their deposits fell off nearly $1,000,000 during the same period. The average reserve September 12 was 33 per cent, compared with 37 per cent June 30. United States deposits fell off about $54,000." Mr. Sargent said that he believed the same conditions as in Portland existed iu all parts of the state, but be has prepared a statement only of conditions of Portland banks. Superintendent Sargent received the following telegram from Secretary Mc Adoo tonight: "Reports now being received by the Controller of the Currency from Na tional banks throughout the country indicate that a money scarcity is being occasioned in large measure because of the hoarding of funds by many Na tional banks which are carrying re serves in some cases two or three times as great as required by law, and also that credits are being restricted and excessive rates of Interest are be ing charged to customers. Country's Currency at Maximum. "There is at this time more currency in the country than at any time in its previous history. There have been is sued through the Treasury Department since August 4 more than SMOO.000,000 of additional National bank currency, which, together with the relaxation in business, should create an abundance of loanable funds. This department will withdraw Government deposits from banks found to be hoarding money and charging excessive rates of Interest and will redeposit them with banks whose funds are being loaned at reasonable rates to meet the legitimate demands of business and for moving the crops." "This department would like very much to have your co-operation in its efforts to remedy these unsatisfactory conditions and respectfully asks if it would not be possible for you to secure from all state banks and trust com panies in your state, statements which will show their cash reserves, as of a recent date, the rates of interest that they are charging on existing loans and the rates which they are demand ing for new accommodations and give this department the benefit of the in formation disclosed by these reports.

Often it is stated that a poor condition of the blood is a cause of these headaches, or that it is a nervous condition; and In certain cases, do doubt this Is true. Where treatment Is demanded. It is more for the pain than anything else, and Dr. A. F. Bchellscbmldt of Louisville, has found Antl-kamnla Tablets to give prompt and satisfactory relief. Rest should be insisted upon" he says, "and the patient should go to bed, darken the room, and all the attendants and family should be aa quiet as possible. An emetlo will some times shorten the attack. The bowels should be kept open with "Actoids"; a hot bath and a thorough rub-down with a coarse towel, often give grateful relief. Two Antl-kamnla Tablets when tbe first signs appear, will usually prevent the attack. During an at tack, one tablet every hour or two win shorten the attack and relieve the usual nausea and vomiting." These tablets ma be obtained at all druggists. Ask JorA-K Tabletis.
