V'vOx . .CZV The Round-up la a time for unre strained Jollity, (or fun, for pleas urable excitement, for pure enjoy ment and the sights and acenea at the exhibition produce but few other ensattona among the thousand who alt through the thrilling entertain ment. But this year the Round-up to many of the spectators, especially to those resident In TenJleton, strikes & note of sadness at Interval into the great aymphony of Joy. There la nothing present to mar the acene of gayety with a touch ao variant It ,1s cauaed by something absent. A fig ure that haa grown familiar to Round-up audience la m luting and It la the knowledge of the reason that at tlmea subdues the exhilaration of aome of those present. During the year that hng elapsed since the last week of frontier cele bration, death haa Invaded the ranks of the directorate of the big show and removed one of the moat valu able members. In the fullnesa of his young manhood, Mark Moorhouse, one of the orlglnatora of the Round up and prominently Identified with Its auccesa for the first four years or Ha history, was stricken down In July of this year. Early In the month an embolism of the brain produced par tial paralysis and he lingered until the afternoon of the Mth when he expired. Ills death produced a profound sor row In Tendlcton, for as Infant, boy and man this city had known Iilm. Born leas than S3 years ago on n farm not far from Pendleton, he had ever since lived here and had risen to prominence both In the business and social world. His activity In the various enterprises which have made him home known as the "biggest lit tle city in the west' maJe him a val ued cltlien and that the ever-swinging sickle should have cut him down when his usefulness was not fully flowered but made the sorrow of the commu nity more heavy. Mark Moorhouse was one of the typical young men of a cjty that la known for Its young men. Such as he have created an atmosphere that is distinctly Pendleton's, and when the first Idea of an annual cowboy carnival began to take form it was but natural that he should be one of those called upon to develop It. Though young In years the romantic west which the Round-up commemo rates Is not so far distant that he did not know it from personal contact. The son of Major Lee Moorhouse. one of the early superintendent of the Umatilla Indian reservation and one of the most noted photographers of Indiana in America, even his home association were essentially western. As a youth he was one of a band of young Pendlctonlans frequently called upon to don the paint and feathers MARK MOORHOUSE V' ""V '. ':'rr ' of the aborigine American to enter tain guests from a distance, and his Imitation of the wlerd steps and movements of the Indian dances had a savage artlstlcnesg about it. At the Initial performance of the Round-up he was commissioned with the task of conducting the show. "Exhibition manager" was his title and to him belongs a large share of the auccess of the Round-up from the start. The rapidity with which evpnt followed event, the absence of the little delays and drags which so mar any entertainment as much as anything else produced to the effect which made the renown of the fron tier exhibition national in its scope, and none contributed more toward this tempo than he. So efficient was he. Indeed, In this particular depart ment that he held the position of ex hibition manager and director of com petitive events until the day of his death. The fact that the 1814 show haa been made a success without his aid. that the exhibitions have been con ducted with the accustomed dispatch in nowlne detracts from the honors he has won. It but .simply emphasized the fuel again that the Round-up is not dependent upon any one man for its continued success but, operated by a norganizatlon and under a sys tem perfected by himself and his as sociate. It cannot help but retain Its, high standard. Rut the fame that belongs to It now will grow as the They Do Not Stay Long on Sharkey i v ' j dr r ax -CvSsw - - ;" years grow had its source in the men who had the vision, the courage, the Judgment and the skill to plan and conduct the ahow in the beginning. And the name of Mark Moorhouse stands out prominently in the list., IIAXK VALGIIAX AND HIS HIS ItESTLESS WAYS (Continued from Page 10.) . 7SJL3 Gu-sit'n . LOVE OF ADVENTURE SECRET OF SUCCESS The Round-up gives thousands of people each year an opportunity to iee life on the range "as she is lived." r S- 1 i No one ever made money cjoing machine work A good many people fool themwWn Into thinking that by doing the hard drudgery work about the farm or shop by hand Instead of investing In a gasoline -engine and suitable narhlnrry, they are caring money. No greater mistake has ever been made. The modem dividend paying factory Is a lesson to farmers as well as others. Here nothing Is done by hand or muscle power that can possibly be done with machinery. Hard work alone never will get you much' money, at least not as much as If you use your Intelligence to get the very most out of your time and labor. Kor Instance If your cream separator, feed mill or pump when operated by a gasoline engine will give you three extra hours a day for other work It will not take many months before the money you here Invested In equipment wlll be returned te you, will It? After thet the money and labor saved begins to count on the profit side of the ledger. Thousands of fsrmers In the Northwest bave found that the moat economical and wise course Is to Let Stover's Good Engine do the hard work The Btorer Is a capable engine, designed principally for farm use, which Is to say that It Is built for everyday bard use with no mechanic around to tinker with It and keep It running. The Stover la designed to be operated and cared for as easily as any other piece of farm machinery. It Is SIMPLE, having few moving parts and all of them are made doubly strong. From the bed tip the Stover Is constructed of tough, durable msterlsly heavily reinforced. The bear Ings are extra long, well babbitted and the lubrication Is taken rare of in such manner as to prevent wesr as much as possible. The Stover develops full rsted horse power and does It economically. It Is ready for business when you are. It has no hair spring adjustments and no complicated parts to get out of order. Come and see The Stover While you are In town drop In and see this remsrkabte engine. We will gladly show you and In just a tew minutes you will fully understand Its oper ation, (even If you have never used a gaaollne engine), and yon will quickly see that the BTOVKR Is the engine you ran depend upon to do your bard work will) profit and sstlsfoctloa to yourself.

PENDLETON, OREGON While the exhibition Is of a thrilling nature, do not forget that life on the range even In this day la one of per son at danger and thrills. Hardly I a day passes but what there Is some adventure and If they all could be re corded a most marvelous book might be written. To the easterner particularly this kind of a ahow appeals but it is no less attractive to the westerner who makes his home in some of the larg er coast states and of the states be tween the Rockies and the Mlsslsslp pi. This fact la attested to in the large number of visitors from these sections which come to Pendleton an nually to see the Round-up. The love of adventure is something which probably will live forever In the human heart The feata of dar ing men and women appeal to every body everywhere. And the Round-up suppltea the necessary elements for thrills and startling entertainment It Is these things which have made the Round-up the biggest frontier cele bration in the world. Hal ley rode to Athena and from there took the road to the farm up on which the grain was supposed to be stored. Just before coming to the reservation line, he met the far mer with a four-horse load of the wheat he was going to seize.. As he approached the wagon he noticed that Hank Vaughan was riding along side and that, as soon as Hank rec ognized the officer he Jumped from Ms horse and, seizing the lines, tried to turn the team back. Ills idea was that if he got the grain back on the reservation, a county officer could not touch It. Halley rode up and, ' addressing Hank, told him to stop. Hank, paid r.o attention to the command. "Stop J it. Hank,", came the order the sec ond time and with that the gunman whirled, hi hand flying to his back pocket. Halley was watching for this move, however and . his own gun blashed out and covered Vaughan be fore the latter could more than grab the butt of his own aixahooters. "Stop it, Hank," Hailing said for the third time. Vaughan looked Into the muzzle of the gun for a moment and then said. "Damm it John, I'd rather die than quit." "Well, you've got to quit this time," answered the officer. "Tou're playing a losing game." "You win," aald Hank, "take the grain," and Halley took it on into Athena and foreclosed the mortgage on it. Vaughan rode alongside into town and confided to Halley some what as follows, "I don't care about you taking me, John,, but the blank-ety-blanked blank blanks will adver tise it all over the country." Though he felt the sensation of hot lead entering his flesh more liiaa once It was not a toullet that laid Hank Vaughan low. He died a tragic death but no officer or other gunman could' claim the credit for it It was his own folly and recklessness that brought hts career to an end One day about the year 1894, he rode Into Pendleton and, after drinking deeply of the fiery fluid that exhilar atea, mounted his horse and. dashed down Main atrect at breakneck speed As he reached the O. R. & N. tracks, his horse's lronshod hoof slipped on the steel rails and the animal fell heavily to the ground, pinioning the rider beneath and crushing him bad ly. He died shortly afterwards. He was past 60 years old when he ded and more than SO years of his life he was In the limelight of nolo rlety. His widow still lives and is yet making her home on her land on the reservation. llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllfllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll IIIIIIIIIIIIIllIIIlllllIIllIIIMIIIlllIIIIIIIIlIllIIIIIIIIIIIf IIIIIIIIIllIIIItllIlIlllIIIIIIIIllllIIIIIIItIIIIIIIXIIIlj The Permanent Brand By Berton Braley When I was a maverick runnln' free The West she took an' she branded me.
