The Round-Up directors are again exercised over what they declare are false and misleading statements srhiCa are being made by Clarence j Adams relative to wild west shows he ; is staging in western Oregon. 1 Here Is a sample of the statements to which they object. It Is the lead i ing paragraph of a story in the Eu- gene Register: "Eugene's Round-Up next week will j be fully aa good as Pendleton's. Clar- . ii . Adams or ins nuuno-up man agement told the membere of the Chamber of Commerce at the regular Wednesday luncheon yesterday. No t ne in western Oregon, he added, needs to go clear to Pendleton to see the great wild west spectacle. The cowboys, the cattle and the horses that will appear here will be practi cally the same, both in identity and in number, that will appear at Pen oleton." Mr. Adams, who formerly lived In this, county, recently staged a show at Ashland and advertised it as the Pendleton Round-Up. He has never had any official connection with the Round-Up and has never had the use of one head of Rounn-Up stock in his shows. He has borrowed the use ot the name and slogan of Pendleton's show quite geenrously and has doneifor settlement. The other side now everything he could to Induce the be lief that he is giving the valley people an exact reproduction of the Pen dleton show. In connection with her . "Round Up." which will be put on next week, Eugene will also have a "Happy Val ley.' an Imitation of Pendleton's "Happy Canyon." GOVERNMENT REVISES MUSTERING OUT ROLL WASHINGTON, Sept 8.
