WILD WEST IS BACK AGAIN Attendance Expected to Reach 70,000--Vestvard-Ho Parade and Crowning of Queen to Open Festival. BY GORDON STUART. PEXDLETON, Or.. Sept. 20. (Spe cial.) The stage for the epic drama of the "West, the Pendleton Round-up, is et. The actors, men, women and beasts, are ready. Without question the attendance at the seventh annual ehow -will break all records. It is pre dicted 70,000 persons will see the Round-up this year. Toaav thousands of people are headed toward Pendleton and already -several thousands have arrived. The spirit of "Let "er Buck" pervades the air. No one could be here and not feel the mighty grip of it if he has half a pint ct red blood in his arteries. The gates will be thrown open at noon tomorrow, and it is said at least 30,000 will see the first day's perform ance. All trains entering the city are crowded to the limit. The streets of Pendleton are filled with cowboys, real flesh and blood cow boys, who live in the Saddle, and cow girls and Indians, all gaily clad. The prevailing headgear is a wide sombrero and most of them bound with leather into which is burned "The Round-up." Wild West to Live Again. Pendleton Is today, and will be for several, days to come, a real wild, and woolly Western town, taking one back 20 to 40 years. Every afternoon has been declared a holiday, even the post office will close, and everybody will go" to the Round-up. It's contagious, infectious and delightful. Tonight at 7 o'clock, when the drawing took place for mounts and. position, more than 200 had formally entered. The true cowboy roper, or rope pinner, carries his lariat with him on his arm in the daytime and sleeps with it at night for fear some coward might cut a few strands in it and cause him to lose his chance for winning one of the many big cash prizes. More than $10,000 in real cash will be awarded here for prizes. Among the champions of the United States who have come to compete for honors, glory and coin this year are Included George and Charles Wier, champion ropers of the world, of Monu ment, N. M. : John Spain, former cham pion: Sammy Garrett, 1915 all-around cowboy, winner of the Police Gazette belt: Edward McCarty. champion roper of 1913; Jackson Sundown, full-blood Nez Perce Indian, who was the model of Sculptor Procter: Hugh Clark, Sam Brownell, Bull Jones. Lee Caldwell, Floyd Irwin and Joella Irwin, cham pion relay riders; Bertha Blancett and Eloise Fox Hastings, champion slick riders: Peggy Warren, Katie Wilkes, Chester Byera, champion roper: Frank Cable, champion bulldogger, and Sid Seale, champion pony express rider, and scores more. r Queen Muriel Will Htlxn. On Saturday morning the grand Westward-ho! parade will be halted for the crowning of Queen Muriel of the Round-up. This ceremony, unlike any other coronation, will be unique and original. Miss Muriel Saling, riding the grand prize saddle, in full cowgirl cos tume, including buckskin skirt, broad sombrero, boots and a gaily colored shirt, will bring her cow pony to a pause at Main and Alta streets. Colonel J. H. Raley, garbed in cowboy outfit, will dash up on his famous mount and will lasso Miss Saling with' a crown of flowers, shouting, "Muriel, I crown thee Queen of Let' er Buck!" Happy Canyon, an evening show, sup plementing the Round-up and under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce, opened tonight with a big attendance. Happy Hollow is "the old town," wild and woolly, where "red likker" flows free as Bull Run water, where gam bling runs riot with no bet less than 10 bucks, where runs the Old Oregon Trail, where the old-time music hall Is re-enacted with Intense reality, while an orchestra plays appropriate music. where everybody is out for an evening or fun and has it. This is but the first day. Every thing is tense, all is excitement. All look forward to the grand opening of the Kound-up. form near the Courthouse steps at Green Bay. The pathway of "surrender to force," Mr. Hughes told the audience at Green Bay, in renewing his attack on the Ad ministration for the Adamson law, leads to but one end, "civil war." Mr. Hughes referred to the action of the Administration as "unpardonable." The nominee also declared that no body could embarrass him by talking about Americanism. "I am for the United States first, last and all the time, without regard to any one or to anything else," he said. "I speak with added emphasis as the friend of labor," Mr. Hughes said, in discussing the Adamson law. "when I say that the serious blow delivered re cently at labor and enterprise'in this country was unpardonable, that blow being the surrender of the principle of arbitration and the yielding of reason to force. "We look forward in this country to a future very uncertain unless we have peaceful settlement of grievances by a careful examination and open-minded consideration of the facts. "When A does not agree with B they are not allowed to fight it out in the public square. They have got to come into a court of law and fight it out there, -not on the public square. We have had times when railroad com panies refused absolutely to arbi trate grievances. But we have had public sentiment develop greatly since that time. We have a new spirit in this country, I firmly believe. All we have to do is to stand firmly for prin ciple and we can get justice done. The other way simply means the rule of strength. There is-only one end to that path, and that end is civil war." AUTO TRUCK VICTIM DEAD Mrs. Carl Lorenz Succumbs to In juries Received Month Ago. Mrs. Carl Lorenz, who was struck and injured by a motor-truck driven by Goon Wu, a Chinaman, at Third and Morrison streets, on the night of Au gust 19. died last night at the St. Vin cent Hospital. The Coroner s inquest will be held to- Oay, when it will be decided whether Goon Wu or Ray E. Henderson, who was instructing him in driving at the time of the accident, is to be blamed for the accident. The body of Mrs. Lorenz will be taken after the inquest to Haywood, near Banks, for burial. She is survived by three sons: Ernest Lorenz, of Portland: Charles Lorenz. of Manning, and A. J. Lorenz. of Aber deen, and a daughter, Mrs. Ida Gheem, of Manning. t SUTHERLIN HONORS DEAD Several Towns Represented at Fu neral of J. F. Luse. SUTHERLIN. Or., Sept. 20. (Special.)

FORGE IN 8-HOUR LEGISLATION DENIED Senator Stone Says Govern ment Had No Controversy With Men vor Roads. I ACTION IS CRISIS IS CITED Democrat Says Critics of Presi dent Seem to Think Cause of Fire Should Be Investigated Be fore Stamping, It Out. CHICAGO. Sept. 20. "A word about the so-called eight-hour law as related to railroad operatives," by William J. Stone, United States Senator from Mis souri, was issued by the Western Na tional Democratic Headquarters here today. Accompanying the statement was an assertion that Senator Stone was representing the "thought of the Administration on the subject. The statement said in part: "Messrs. Hughes, Roosevelt, Root, Lodge, Penrose, Crane, Pierpont Mor gan, George W. Perkins, and that en tire genus maintain that the President and Congress surrendered to force and thereby discredited public authority and weakened the foundations of our governmental institutions. Charge Declared Hnlne. "One weakness about this charge is that It is false. Nobody threatened the President or Congress; nobody de manded anything of them. There was no controversy between the Govern ment and railway employes, nor be tween the Government and the railroad managements. The controversy was purly industrial, waged between sev eral hundred thousand men who ac tually operate trains on the one hand and' the managers of the railroads on the other. "The trouble had reached a point so acute that these hundreds of thou sands of men were on the verge of a strike; they were about to quit work and thus leave the entire railroad transportation of the country tied up for an indefinite period." Possible Strike Effects Cited. The statement then points out that while the crisis existed. Senators and Representatives and members of the Administration v were receiving com munications from all sections of the country, indicating that "the public sentiment also universally favored any reasonable means of averting this catastrophe." The Senator pointed out the possible effects of a strike on the fruitgrowers of the Far West; on feeders of livestock; farmers shipping grain on contracts, manufacturers of steel and textiles under contract to be shipped, on the fuel supply of the country and on the mining and timber industries and their allied interests and dependents. "The fact Is," he continued, "the very threat of this Nation-wide lockup caused a jump in the prices of food, coal and all the necessaries of life and industry and it is worthy of note that when the danger passed, prices went back to normal. Prompt Action Deemed Necessary "These are the things the President faced and such the calamity he. brave ly, patiently, patriotically sought to avert. Who blames him? Mr. Hughes says he should have investigated the questions at issue before acting. They seem to think that, although the house was on fire, the President should have inquired into the cause of the fire be fore putting it out, instead of first putting it out and then investigating the cause. "I can understand this argument when made by men like J. Pierpont Morgan, George W. Perkins and others of that type, but I am amazed that Justice Hughes should adopt it. I am amazed that he would ally himself with Mr. Morgan, multi-millionaire, prince of Wall street, maker and wrecker of rail roads, lord of the British Exchequer in America Is that really the issue Mr. Hughes M ae Marsh and Robert Harron IN TT O -ruvn T"?

I am sorry to behold this spectacle in our public life. I am sure the President will not Bhrlnk from this Issue. He has other things of vastly greater im portance to talk about, but he can meet this issue without a shadow of apprehension. "I would turn from Morgan, Perkins, Roosevelt. Root. Lodge.

Moreover, when powerful, opulent, sinister special in terests assail the President because of this fine act of Christian statesman ship, I would ask the worklngmen. who, with the President, must bear the brunt of these attacks for they are aimed at the great labor interests of the country what answer they will make."

Arrangements arebeing made for the removal of the offices of the executive secretary and -associate secretaries of i the Portland Chamber of Commerce from the fifth to the sixth floor of the Oregon building. The entire fifth floor, now occupied '' by department secre taries, will be rented and the sixth floor will be renovated to receive the Chamber secretaries. At a. meeting of the executive com mittee of the Chamber yesterday defi nite plans for such a change were dis cussed. It was considered necessary to relinquish the fifth floor in the interest of economy. FEARLESS POLICY ADVISED (Continued From First PHpf.) "The Democratic party? No. The Democratic party had ruined the situ ation. What saved the situation was the European war. If it had not been for the extraordinary demands created by that struggle we would have not have to talk about it in thLs campaign, for I believe the American people would have been rising from one end of the land to the other to secure an Administration which would properly conserve American interests. "No, the same party did not aid busi ness; they have not aided business. What they have done has -been to build on Republican foundations, an the best p&Tl of their workmanship is taken from Republican workmen and made of Republican materials. What they have done, according to their own ideas and principles, has been deroga tory to the interests of the United States, and must be undone if we are to have prosperity in the country. "I would not be interested in talk ing about American prosperity If 1 thought it was not speaking for the great good of the masses, for whom there is nothing "but impoverishment and disaster unless we build up the prosperity of the United States." Day Is Busy One. Mr. Hughes' address here tonight ended a busy day.
