Reach 'e;n! Reach 'em!

If you lather your hawse to the

And I'm ordered the night

With the tired little moon sink

And my sleeplessness fightin'

Then I nod and I blink at the
dark herd below
And the saddle he Hings, as the

Sleepy sleepy sleepy.
We was ordered a close watch
to keep,
But I'll sing you a song in a
drowsy old key;
A'l the world Is a snoozin,, so
why shouldn't we?
Go to sleep, partner mine, go

Tiie opening of the second annual
Iiound-Up maiks a big occasion for
Pendleton. For many months prep
arations have been carried on with a
view to making the present show a
thriiling entertainment. The bes.t
t;. br.t obtainable ha: been gathered
in from far and wide, a mammoth
grandf tacid has been erected and oth
er improvements made with a vltw to
the better accommodation of both
Kpettatom and performer)!. It ha
b'en the Intention of the Round-Up
management and of the p'-p;i of
Pendleton In g-;,ef.-!l to leavi noth
ing undone that would work for the
complete H'ir of the three, day'
siov.. if the frontbr ii'w lx not
enjoyed It will not be) Ltcaue Pen
dleton lias not striven to please.
As for the character of the Round
Up, It is an entertainment devli.ed to
provide good, wholesome recreation
for those who participate and those
who witnehji the performance. The
show is not intended to depict the
life in this country at tills time, for
the Round-Up is not typical of Pen
dleton and of eastern Oregon these
days. This much may be safely said
without reflection.
In the Round-Up and in the dar
ing work of those who participate all
tike pride. Rut it is sport, not busi
ness. In their eerlous moments the
people of this section follow less
strenuous work. Wheat raising is
the banner Industry of thia county
and the gralngrowers of the county
produce one per cent of the wheat of
the United State.
I Thf-re are also vast irrigation dis
'tricts In this county. The Milton
jFrcewater district, which constitutes
jthe oldest fruit raising district of the
j oousty. i. reduce 4 more fruit last year
I'r.an did the Hood Klver valley and
i
;it sdd for more money than did the
Hood River fruit. In the west end
of the cour.tv there are numerous
2 M private in i,itl.;n projects, among
' '6'jtnf'm t!le ,i-,l-'n JiJ Furnish project,
. Wian.l the L'rr.atilla j reject, developed
! lii !' the United states reclamation ser-
jjjo;vio The Umatilla project has been
. .75' classed bv the engineers of the gov-
trnmtni as ot-ing int.- mo.i iavorej
f,.r tie expenditure of !. 000, 000 up-
o.i the extension of the Umatilla riv
er.
In area Umatilla county contains
more square miles than do the com-
jbined states of Rhode Island and Del
aware. There are more miles of rail
road in I'matiila county than in any
other county in Oregon. This is the
oc J wealthiest county in the state
and has undeveloped resources that
promise i,-r-at things for the future.
All of th'-se thir.g-s are mentioned
here to !iou- that while Pendleton
tures its frontier show this little
( it j- is also the capital of a territory
thpt is alive and progressive with
r-ferer.ce to affairs of industry, com
it r-e and culture. There are bath
".:-bs. nutomo! il'.s and paved streets

chos, bu, -k.il oos and Indians.
Hut just now it is r.ot civilization we
are a.'f r. We ar- s-hov.-ini,' the rough
ai 1 rc:: !y life of the rart-e and tt Is
a life worth whil'-.

In City Attorney Frank S. f'.ran;
' :r.s to no an official who .".rives
.H.-rv-. tH.i people, ile is an agent
of the public and is striving to get
a-hat he can from them in the way
of proper trcatrmnt from the public
rvice corporations.
It appears that the Portland Rail
v ay. Light oc Power company desires
to fasten it.s Isold more securely upon
Portland.- The company's franchise
s not seem absolutely secure and
the corpora 'i--n managers would lik-'
to make it safe. Rut before any ac
tion is taken by the city administra
tion the city attorney would like to
have the corporation do a few things
for Portland. Here is a summary of
his requests:
That the Portland Railway. Light
l . I'ower company be required to take
jout a franchise to sell light and pow
4:cr In the city of Portland.
That it be required to take out a
franchise for the use of the Haw-
ithorne avenue bridge in accordance
I with Section 118 of the city charter,
1 as amended, paying therefor the sum
of $15,000 a year.
That It be compelled to pay its
! share of the cost of the Front street
bridge, the company having evaded
payment heretofore by abandoning its
franchise across the ravine.
That the company be required to
pay to the city J3000 as its share of
the cost of Improving Nineteenth
street from Overton street to Wilson
street, it also having evaded thk pay
ment by process of abandoning its
tracks.
That the company be made to pay
a similar claim on Halsey and East
Twenty-eighth streets.
, That it be required to pay for the
widening of East Fifteenth street, the
city having been forced to pay the
contractor J1100 for thia work, which
was done solely that the street might
be made wide enough to accommo
date the streetcars of the corporation.
In the relations of the city of Port
land and the Portland Light & Power
company, the East Oregonlan has no
concern. Rut in the general subject
of the duties of public servants and
o' public service corporations this pa
per Is much Interested. It is splen
did when an official sets forth fear
1 ssly and frankly to serve his people
as Mr. Grant seems to be doing.
There are officials In Pendleton who
neem to have no zeal at all in behalf
of the public, but devote their time
t i worrying lest their people will se
cure too much In the way of service
fiom the public utility concerns. Up
on this point the East Oregonlan has
particularized in the recent past and
may do so again if the occasion seems
to demand.
It is raining today in Portland but.
not In Pendleton. Let the Portland'
ers come on and catch a good view of
the sun.
For two successive years Benton
county has taken the prize for the

We have read of the nerve of the light
brigade.
That charged through a ra n of
lead.
And the fleet that entered Manila bay,
Where the dauntless Dewey led.
We have heard of the nerve an i the
Bteody aim
Of the patriot Wiiiiam Tell,
And the great Jim Eludsj dating
death
On the burning Prairie Belle.
Han's nerve has male the whole
world thrill,
ThouKh s-ome men's nerves ap
pall, Hut the nerve of the nervous
iceman
Is the dSmnest nerve of all!
A different nerve had old Doc Cook,
Who came from the Arctic sea
To spring his tale of the gumdrop
trail
That led to the last degree.
The nerve of the crabbed, cross old
cove
Who fiirts with the coy young maid.
And the henpecked man who leads
the van
In a suffragette parade.
Man's nerve has made the whole
world thri'l
Though some men's nerves appal.
Put the nerve of the nervous ice
man Is the r"ppinge.-t nerve of all.
