WOULD IK WEDDED OX
HORSEBACK.
There will be at least two wed
dings performed on horseback in
Happy Canyon this week. The notice
In the paper yesterday asking for bri
dal couples met with Immediate re.
sponse. A well known Pendleton
young couple, who wish their names
withheld for the present, were the
first to signify a willingness to be
married publicly and thls morning a
Weston couple responded.
The committee In charge has not
yet set the evenings upon which the
weddings will be celebrated hut will
probably announce them tomorrow.
Cowboy and cowgirl outfits will be
provided for the bride and bridegroom
and all of the members of the bridal
party will be mounted.
These weddings will be only one of

The flrBt evening of Happy Canyon
will be tomorrow evening and this
will officially open the Round-up
fun. ,
One of the novel entertainments
provided for the crowd Is a "shute the
shutes" which gives all of the sensa
tions of a scenic railway and then
some. It was completed yesterday
and tried out last evening. So popu
lar did the pastime become that the
committee had to close the gatoa to
keep the crowd away.
Four big locomotive headlights
have been Installed to furnish light
for the street scene and these have
been so placed that there will be no
light shining in the spectators' eyes.
A big electric spotlight has been In
stalled also and this will be turned
upon the performers.
Among the stunts on the program
will be any number of cowboy sports.
a cowboy quartet from the Ellison
White circuit, songs by atlas Doris
Keoer, the Queen of the Round-up,
and some unadvertlsed features which
the committee is planning as a sur
prise. The Red Dog saloon has been en
larged so that It will b double the

CHILD DROWNS WHEN
HE FALLS INTO HE
RACE WHILE AT PLAY
LA WHENCE PEEBLEIL 2 YEARS
OLD, MELTS FATAL ACCI
DENT YESTERDAY.
Sliding down the bank of the Wal
ters' mill race while playing with
other children near it, three year old
Lawrence Peebler, son of Mrs. Wil
liam Peebler and grandson of George
Peebler of this city, fell Into the wa
ter yesterday afternoon and was
drowned. It was .the first drowning
accident of the year in Pendleton.
In company with his little sister
and another child, the little fellow
had left his home which is only about
a block distant from the mlllrace,
and before they were missed, the ac
cident had occurred. The other
children notified the neighborhood
and efforts were made to rescue the
boy. However, the water was roily
and nothing could be seen under the
surface. A man dove and crawled
on the bottom of the stream for some
distance but was unable to find the
body. The water was turned out of
the race and, when it was finally
drained, the body of the boy was
found lodged against the grates at the
gates. The stream la quite swift and
had carried the body as far as It
could go.
The accident occurred about 4
o'clock In the afternooa at a point
about a block above the Matlock
street bridge. Physicians were sum
moned at once but the body had
been In the water too long to permit
of resuscitation.
The little boy was the eldest child
of Mrs, William Peebler whose hus
band died only a few weeks ago.
There are two younger children. The
mother and grandparenu are grief
stricken over the accident which fol
lows so closely the other death In the
family.
The funeral Is being held this af
ternoon at 8 o'clock at the Presby
terian church.
GOLD WATCH WILL BE PUT
INTO FEDERAL CORNERSTONE
UNIQUE MEMENTO IS GIFT TO
l"OSTEIUTY FROM ROYAL
SL SAWTELLE.
Among the unique mementos to be
deposited in the cornerstone of the
federal postofflce Is a fine gold watch
which may at some future time be
come the property of a municipal mu
seum or library.
Some entertaining facts are given
by Royal M. Sawtelle, who has burled
this treasure for the posterity of Pen
dleton.
The watch Is one of the first hall
mark watches made In the United
Stats and the first one to be sent to
the state of Oregon.
Mr. Sawtelle considers the watch to
be a fine specimen of modern horo-
loglcal art and has taken scientific
measures to preserve the piece for
all time to come.
With great care the watch was
sealed In oil parchment and every bit
of moisture taken out of the watch
to avoid rust on the highly polished
steel parts. A tiny drop of scientifi
cally prepared oil was put in the cup
of each Jewel and Mr. Sawtelle pre
dicted that the watch will withstand
the ages for 600 years. In fact the way
this watch Is prepared he claims that
when it is taken from its Imprison
ment and wound that It will start off
ticking the time without any atten
tion. There Is no assurance that Mr.
Sawtelle will live to see the watch
taken from the sealed box and he is
not certain that the futurists will
know just what kind of a piece of
machinery it 1s when It Is taken out
Mr. Sawtelle has engraved a mes
sage on the back of this watch re
questing that It be given to a muse
um or public library whenever the
building Is torn down or the watch
taken from the copper box.

Tickets which have been re-

This announcement was made
today by Vice-president Rltner.
The advance seat sale for the

1915 Round-up will be larger than
the 1914 crowd.

Yesterday the bex office on Ceart

h.td few spare mlautes During th
day a total of 81010 passed through
th windows for grandstand seats,
mare than twice the amount taken In
on, the Monday of Round-up week
last year. Bright and early thin
merning; the sale was begun again
and the receipts today promise to be,
aa great, aa yesterday. Already the
sale for the Friday and Saturday ex
hibitiona is larger than last (ear and
tUi If A declares that, when the show
opens Thursday, the s&Ie will be con
siderably larger than on the first
day in. 1914.
For some reason or other many
Piople have deferred buying; their
tickets antil this week, something;
t&ey did not do in former years, and
the result is that the money is fair
ly rolling in. However, many people
still have the mistaken Impression
that the Thursday show will be free
because the day has been, declared a
holiday. The only person who will
be admitted free are the performers
and school children. Because the
Thursday crowd Is generally lighter
than on Friday and Saturday, the di
rectors have decided to admit all
school children in the bleachers with
out charge.
