BOWMAN I OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER 1 i Rene Viviani S3 Studio, Main Street near Bridge Pendleton, Oregon In early days Pendleton was some thing of a wide open town. That is to say there were saloons every 15 or 20 feet and the only bar to gambling was a shortage of kale or nerve. Ev erybody was doing It. It was the fashion of the day. Not infrequently there was a shooting or something else equally as entertaining. Anyone who has lived In Pendleton for a quarter of a century or more can re late yarns by the hour that are very enlightening to a tenderfoot. Arthur Gibson, local contractor, who superintended the building of "Happy Canyon." has been here for many years and, while the general committee on the evening entertain ment was threshing out the plans one evening, he narrated a little inci dent that had both the elements of comedy and tragedy. "When I was a young buck," he said, "I used to drop Into some of the snloons here to watch the chips change hands. One night I stepped I Into a Joint where some negroes were playing poker. They had been play- By Richard Carter Warlnner. . . I love the life of a Buckeress; I love the Miles and watercress, The wind, the sun and the morning dew Have tinted my face with health's fresh hue. I bathe in the morning's sweet, cool air. It paints my cheeks and tousles my hair. With broad sombrero and buckskin dress, I live the life of a Buckaress. I ride the range of the Bar X ranch, I know each hillock, each spring, each branch; Its shady groves and its winding streams I see at night In my peaceful dreams. I know each brute of my roving herd. I whistle a tune to the wild night bird I'm sometimes lonely, I must confess; I'm only a little Buckaress. I am not afraid to ride alone. Where big gray wolves and coytes roam ; Where mountain lions and fox abound My 30-30 and faithful hound Are the true, tried friends who stick to me; And yet! I'm lonely as I can be. I wonder If It would ever do To fall In love with a Buckaroo? Somewhere, I've read, of a Great White Way. Where all are merry and life is gay, Do you think I would be happy there, Midst the noise and din of the city's glare? I never have seen a hobble skirt! Could I ever learn to He and flirt? The "bunny-hug" and the "tango" dance Would never "take" on the Bar X ranch. Does "bunny-hug" give the heart a thrill. Like the dizzy waltz in Virginia reel? Would "tango" flutter the heart of a maid 1 Like "allemande left and all prome nade?" Oh, I long for love's sweet, warm ca ress; I'm a lonely little Buckaress. I love the range where the cattle roam; ' Sometimes I long for a better home. And often a longing comes over me To steal from the ranch, the world to see. I have read of cities' gleaming light Where human wolves prowl around at night. And seek their prey with sodden breath As the? lead poor lambs to , awful death, I shudder now, as I stop and think How humun beings can ever sink So low as to lead a kid astray By the gilded light of the streets' highway. I'd better stay on the ranch, I guess, I am only a timid Buckaress. To Pendleton's Round-up Roon I'll go; They say it's a dandy cowboy show. My daddy and ma, will go with me This wonderful "frontier show" to see. We'll see the.bronchos and riders, too. Say, I know a handsome Buckaroo; He said he'd come to the Bar X ranch; I'll lead him there. If I have a chance. I haven't a doubt nor a single fear I can lasso the heart of this "slick ear." He's a handsome, heart-free Buckaroo And he says he loves me honest, true! He wants to make me his darling wife Then we'll live on the Bar X ra"nch for life. Ing all day and the floor was strewn with cast-off cards. "I picked up six Jacks from the floor and after a hand had been dealt I slipped the six on top of the bal ance of the deck. Only two stayed in. 'How many cards do you want?' the dealer asked after the discard. Both called for three and of course each got three Jacks. "I've got a Jack full' the first fellow said after they had bet their pile. 'So have I.' said the other and they showed down. "They looked at each other a min ute and then both began to reach for their razors. About that time I had business that took me outside in a hurry." uifiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiifiiiiiiiifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiitiiiiiiiitui During the Round-Up and After the Round-Up whenever you're 5 in Pendleton visit 5 THE COSYl J f ' V' t-f i Li i , , 'f "tZ-V ' Mr ' 'la. - h .... : ..." , "The biggest little how-houe in the northwest VAUDEVILLE THAT'S "RIGHT THE CLEAV, WHOLE- 5 SOME KIND.

His success In French politics has been due to his interest in labor. When the office of minister of labor wns created by the Clemenceau gov ernment In 1906, he was the first man to fill It. Although the next government was of an opposing fac-' tlon, M. Vlvlnnl still waa kept at his post In accordance with his labor sympathies, he worked consistently against the law providing for a .com pulsory three-year period of service in the army, in favor of which tho country recently voted. M. Vivian! Is an able man, but his strong points are not particularly war and diplomacy.
