APPRAISERS UP TO BOARD Total of 4716 Applications Arc 1 te ed vod at Headquarter Vp to Lat Night. SAL KM. Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) Out of approximately 34.000 f-itrv-Ire men and women eligible for war benefits in Oregon, only 4716 had filed applications up to last nla-ht for loans and cash bonuses under the so called slate aid act passed by the legislature at its 1921 session and made operative through a favorable vote of the electorate at a special election last June. Of the total applications received ot the offices of the world's war vet erans' ' state aid commission. 2330 sought loans. -while 23S2 of the ap plicant aked for the cash bonus. At the time thn special election wa held to authorize the issuance of bonds to put the bonus law into oper ation It as the general opinion of ex-service men that not less than 65 per cent of the applicants would ex press a preference for the loan. Jterent developments, however. Indi cate that the rash bonus Is the most i-ttractlve. and that less than BO per cent of the applicants will seek loans. Collateral Thought I-arkl.. This situation. It was explained here today, probably Is due to the tact that hundreds of ex-service men ellKlhle for loans under the act are without collateral necessary to ob tain the credit. It also wss said that there are several thousands of tran sients who will receive benefits un der the law, and that practically all of these men will prefer a few hun ared dollars In cash to a loan for the purpose ot building a home or en Kasrlna; In some other development. Attaches of the loan commission re ported today that applications were being received at the rate of 300 a day. A force of 30 people Is now em ployed by the commission, and the ap plications are being checked up as fast as possible. Approximately 20 per cent of the applications thus far received have been found to be de fective and have been returned to their makers for correction. Appraisers to lie Kinfd. The next Important step of the bonus commission will be that of con sidering appraisers in the different counties of the state. Under the bonus law these appraisers must pass upon all collateral offered by applicants before loans can be made available. Approximately 200 applications for positions as appraisers have been re ceived, and It is possible that selec tions may be announced following a meeting of the commission to be held in halem October 5. The appraisers will be paid by the applicants. The commission also will consider at a meeting scheduled for October bids for the sale of the Initial block of bonus bonds In the sum of $5,000. 000. It was said at the commission's headquarters here today that several bids for the) bonds already had been received, while other prospective pur chasers had signified their Intention of submitting proposals before the date set for the meeting, Members of the bonus commission said there apparently has been marked im provement In the bond market during the past few weeks, and no difficulty is anticipated in disposing of the se curities. Fast Work Kmpected. Although the work of Investigating and Checking over the applications re MUires considerable time. It was th.' opinion of Harry Brumbaugh, sec retary of the commission, that the payment of cash bonuses and the al lotment of loans will be under way by Thanksgiving day. In case thia nilnatlon materializes, several thou sands of applications will have been dlxpoaed of by January 1 of next year. While most of the ex-sorvlce men iipparently understand the procedure necessary to obtain loans an I the rash bonus, quite a number of letters are being received at the bonus headquar ters with relation to advice In making out the formal applications. When In ('oul)t the applicants are advised to seek counsel from some person who has knowledge of the correct pro cedure and thereby eliminate any de lay and confusion attending the re turn of applications found to be de tective. As soon as the work of the commis sion has advanced to the point where payments ot cash bonuses and allot ment of loans uctually are under way meetings will be held as often as twice a week. In each instance ap plications for bonuses and loana must I he passed upon by the commission before they may be transmitted to the applicants by the secretary. 17,000 ATTEND ROUND-UP (Continued Krom Flrnt Pajr ries a purse of J 1000 for the best total time for three days.

Sept. 23. (Spe clal.) From the moment the sun rose over the Blue mountains It was sure and certain that Old Sol would rule the day, giving the much needed warmth that was lacking Thursday. As though this had been by some ub-con.cious arrangement known far and wide, the trains soon tjgan to unload their thousands and from the Incoming autos arriving by every road and trail, stepped down more thousands. So by late breakfast t.me the streeta were well crowded by a regular flood tide of round-up guests. Among these early arrivals were the members of the Elks' fife and drum corps, from the neighboring city of Walla Wall, the same Walla Wall that for several years tried to take the Kound-up bodily from Pendleton and attach It to their own lovely Washington city. They failed, ut terly and . everlastingly, although they do hold a round-up of their own each year. But il-ese Walla Walla people are fine sports. They know when they are whipped and applaud the winners, applaud them to the echo and then pitch In, one and all, to make the Pendleton Round-up me great snow or me west. Musical Elks Cavort. I thought of these rather ancient happenings as I saw the musical Elk cavorting along the streets this morn ing, with their Incessant rat-a-tat, I'umety-bum chords of music, watched them as they would surround a well dressed maiden, make her a prisoner, marching In a close formation laugh ing the while as the prisoner Joyously retorted, then to let her escape and make another capture. It made me teal that all the world was akin, all the world happy, and that the Round up was not only the cause of casual, ivanescent mirth, but builder up of solid, substantial friendships. As I passed around the city during ihe forenoon I endeavored to count the hot-dog Joints. I do not mean by that that hot dogs have Joints; I use the word Joints in the wii of a place for barter and trade, firsi the dimes on the outside and the dogs on the in side, a moment later both dogs and dimes on the Inside of the Joint's cigar box "cash registers." But I could not count them, the best I could do was to estimate the number at 100. And that may be a hundred short. Hound-np Books Stacked High. In passing along I saw piled up great stacks of furlong's alleged wonderful book, published recently by the I'utnams of New Yark. This book Is- entitled "Let 'Er Buck." and was written by a native, or long resi dent, of Pendleton, Charles Welling ton Furlong. Mr. Furlong took no gambler's chance In publishing this book, for he sold In advance some 10.000 copies In Pendleton alone, and at the nifty price of 11.40 a copy. I suppose the Pendleton people will get the worth of their money, but there are many thousands of copies here with the owners eagerly await ing purchasers. 1 have not read this book, but It Is a handsome volume, well Illustrated and has about 250 pages. The "Putting of the Brand," In other words the Introduction, Is written by George Palmer Putnam, one of the members of the publishing house, but better known in Oregon as a writer on The Oregonlan, later as the founder of the Bend Tribune, which. I think, he still owns: "Tell it loud In the east. Speak It bold in the north. Utter it free in the west. Breathe it deep In the south Our llound-up leads them all." Honad-up Held Greatest of All. -I am wondering If It is not feelings like these that have made this Pendleton Kound-up what It is the greatest of all tfie round-ups. But Is that statement a truth or Is It "bunk"? I believe It to be true, for I have had many witnesses. Yesterday I interviewed one of the broncho busting, bulldogglng. steer -roping wsnderers. one who puts in about four months each year doing his bits pony race this afternoon when her pony beat lorena Trickey's animal out by a nose. The ponies raced neck and neck for a half mile. No Name, nemesis of the buckaroos, ran true to form when he unseated Red McDonald In the midfleld. It was on No Name that Hugh Strickland won the world's championship In the bucking contest back in 1918. Deer Foot, a bay, qualified for place In the Saturday's finals when he exhibited rare form on his appearance beneath Hippy Burmelster, one of the better riders. Burmeister hit the ground hard. Canntt Rides Well. Yakima Canutt made a prettjr ride on Sam Jackson, one of the meanest outlaws In the Round-up corrals. He scratched heavily and rode lightly. Bob Erlckson. riding Wild Fire, was thrown after the pistol shot. Dave Wythe rode I Be Dam and Bob Hall rode You Tell 'Em. another of the bad outlaws. Slim Talbot, mounted on Blue Dog, made a beautiful ride on a mean animal until a eecond before the pistol cracked, when he pulled leather without cause. Norman Cowan rode Billy McAdoo in excellent form. Billy McAdoo has a habit of bucking sideways, but Cowan stuck and scratched constantly. Pat Mulcare pulled leather on McHaley. Darrell Cannon, riding for the Drumbeller string. Increased his lead In the cowboys' relay race when he got away to a flying start, which he held through .numerous changes in mounts. Time. 4:04. Total time of three entries for two days: Cannon, 8:10 3-5; Bob Llehe. 6:23 2-6;Paul Landrum. 8:23 1-5. This race will be completed Saturday. It carries a purse of $1000 for the best total time made. LUMBER SALES BETTER New Business Exceeds Production by 5,000,000 Feet. New business In the lumber indus try of western Oregon and western Washington was in excess of produc tion for the week ended September 17 by more than 6.000.000 feet, according to the weekly lumber review Just Is sued by the West Coast Lumbermen's association. The report has the fol lowing to say relative to conditions In the Industry: "For the week ended September IT, 99 mills in w estern Oregon and west ern Washington report production at 58.275.239 feet, which Is 20 per cent below normal. "New business totaled C3.583.15l feet. Shipments totaled 49,343.746 feet. "For delivery by rail new business included 1,234 cars; rail shipments 1204 cars. Unshipped balance in the rail trade was 2953 cars. "In the cargo trade, domestic orders totaled 13.187,038 feet; export 10.376. 120 feet. Coastwise and tntercoastal cargo shipments totaled 8.176,626 feet; export shipments 6,047.120 feet." According to Scottish custom, the gift of a bunch of heather to a High land lassie Is equal to an offer of marriage. at the dosen or more round-ups, some known by that name and others by names similar, but really all like our round-up. and be said that in every respect the Pendleton Hound-up is the greatest of all events of a like character held In this country. Well, "there Is a reason." Tes. many reasons, iirat. this is not a money-making, grafting affair. It belongs to the city. There la but one paid employe the secretary except the helpers at the grounds during the show. India Trapping:. Prmlswd. Second. It is the greatest assem bling of Indians and In the finest trappings of any Indian ahow In this country. Third, there are i:c waits, no Inter missions, no halts of aiy kind during the 1V4 hours of the performance. Fourth, the meeting of all contracts and engagements Is punctilious and to the very penny. Fifth. the night show. called Happy Canyon, Is a fine show and gives the visitors, at a small cost, the opportunity to pass a pleasant eve ning or three of them at each Round-up. But lastly and greatest of all. It is the accumulated efforts of the best band of boosters n this country. No other city or town has an aggrega tion of men like "the Pendleton bunch." I doubt if any city ever will have. Clown I. sr Is Featare. One of the faatures of the last three Round-ups has been the "clowning of that prince of clowns. Tom Doug las. He in about the liveliest indi vidual on the ground, and Is evidently an expert actor In all branches of the Round-up game. He is inimitable as a funmaker, and the audience never tires of hia funny stunts. There is lots of music on the grounds, and lots on the streets be fore and after the big show. There were three bands busy today the Pendleton Round-up band. La Grande band, Eugene band and the fife and drum corps from Walla Walla, as mentioned before. Tomorrow this ag gregation will be aided by the Twin City, or, as commonly known, the Milton-Freewater band. This afternoon the bull doggers snd steer ropers had a hard time of it for the steers were wary and elusive, "spilling" and defeating the various cowboya and cowgirls la their attempts to conquer them. However, there were some very fine exhibitions where the humans came off first best, especially among the stunts of the cowgirls. Cowgirls' Race Is Fine One. One of the finest and closest races ever witnessed on this or any other grounds, was the cowgirls' pony race. This is a half-mile event, twice around the track. There were only two entrants today. Kittle Cannu. and Lorena Trickey. At no time was there more than a foot difference, as the horses went side by side around the track. Kittle won by a scant nose amidst the plaudits of every one of the audience. It was the most exciting race ever wit nessed on the gaounds. A great laugh was created about mid-afternoon when the megaphoners announced that a bootlegger was wanted at the Judges' stand. Whether the Judges needed a little stimulant or wanted to make an arrest Is not known. But it is certain the call was fruitless. I think, however, there are no such "animals' as boot leggers In Umatilla county. The grand mounted march today was the best ever seen on the grounds and the number of riders the largest. This parade Is headed by the Judges, a band and then the mounted cowboys and cowgirls. To day there were about 340 whites, followed by 109 Indians and all ar rayed in habiliments that took on every tint of the rainbow, and dosens of others.. Both in numbers and dress this pamde was a spectacle be yond description, and I doubt if it was ever equated at any Round-up anywhere, or that It will ever b; equaled again in any place. And the big day, the great day Is yet to come, the day of the finals tomorrow. JIAUT IS OFFICIAL GTEST AT WASHINGTON' FAIU. Talk by Executive Praises Display of Products and Thanks Yakima for Co-operation. YAKIMA. Wash.. Sept. 23. With Governor Hart as official guest the Washington state fair yesterday ob served its annual governor's day and entertained the largest crowds of the week.

SHOWS HELD INFERIOR I 'o lies ncrgere Theater Declared to Be Far Below Expectations. ; JLaughter Held Pretense.. (Copyright by the New Tork World. Pub lished by Arrangement.) PAHIS, Sept. 23. (Special cable.) "Paris Is not the Paris it used to be," Charlie Chaplin confided regretfully to the World correspondent before leaving for Berlin last night. It was not that Charlie has not enjoyed him self the friendly reception he has re ceived everywhere in the French capi tal since he arrived on Sunday night was sufficient to Insure that but that he found a great change had come over Paris since he gave perform ances here 14 years ago. Tire Folies Bergere theater was taken by him as an illustration. Having read so much about the Folies Bergere in the American newspapers, he made It first in his list of enter tainments, as do most of the Ameri cans coming here, but he declared him self greatly disappointed. Show Declared Inferior. "It was a much Inferior show to those they used to serve up 14 years ago." he said. "The music was pretty good but the quality ot the artists has deteriorated very much. Move over, there was a false ring In the gaiety of the whole place. People made a pretense at laughing, but they did not seem to be laughing from real enjoyment. Maybe it Is I who have changed, grown older or something, but somehow It all seems different." It was pointed out that the un reality of the gaiety has been a note worthy characteristic of Paris since the war and Charlie shook his head almost sadly as he reflected on the more cheerful old days which In cluded a homely little corner in a cafe which has been sw?pt away. Chaplin has had a much quieter time here than he had In London. lie has passed much of his time knocking bout under the ciceronlc care of an old friend of his and of his lawyer. Dudley Field Malone, and a large proportion of the stories ot his vlsi:s to notorious resorts are pure imagina tion. Carpentler Fellow Actor. Much of his "night In Montmarte," for Instance, was spent In a circus there, where he was Impressed by the cleverness of some Italian clowns, and where he picked up a few points. His only real "show day" vu on Tuesday, when he and Carpentier performed antics on the Claridge bal cony for the benefit of the movie men and of the crowd who watched the proceedings from the pavements of the Champs Klysee. And Charlie has shown himself as reserved as a minister plenipoten tiary in his statements to Interview ers, baffling all attempts to drag him Into comparisons between Faris and New York or Paris and London. He felt called on to protest heatedly that he drinks only water when a young French theatrical man regret ted to him that he was too "booxy" to answer all his questions. But Charlie's rumpled curls fell back In place when he learned that it was the super-gallic pronunciation of "busy" which wss responsible for the misunderstanding.
