PENDLETON IS GROWING TOWN
The Round-l'p visitor from year to
eut is struck with the many int
piovernents made during the inter
vening time. The growth of Pendle
tor has been a steady substantial one
si ch as is most desirable to a city. If
fan truly be said that Pendleton his
ni ver had any distinct boom but
year after year a steady Increase in
population has been shown. With :
the buildings and improvements have
kt pt pace.
The well kept records of Recorder
Thcmas Fitigerald show that 'lOt
building permits have been Issued dur
ing the year from September 1, 1913.
to September 1, 1916. Thse permits
.epresent an investment of more than
$175,000.
A large amount of this money Is
riptesented by home buihPng. !n
the neighborhood of 50 new houses
a large number of which cost from
$5o00 to $7500, have been built in
this space of time.
The largest structure which has
bien completed the past yiar is th--federal
building, a $135,000 buildiim
which was opened to the public on
September 4. The $100,000 addition
al west wing to the Eastern Oregon

first time.
The Blewett combined harvester
plant after a careful investigation of
the cities of the northwest picked
Pendleton as a location for their
plant. The Hlewett plant was finish
ed in April and during the first sea
son put out 28 machines throughout
the northwest. The plant is located
near the entrance to Round-Up Park.
Two grain cleaning plants and ele
vators were erected this summer and
are now in operation. The Henry w.
Collins grain plant completed in Au
gust is now running In full blast. The
plant has a cleaning capacity of from
400 to 500 tons of wheat daily. The
Farmers' Grain Agency plant repre
senting a cost of $30,000 has been
completed.
Roth are located on west Wehh
street. These two plants clean a large
share of the wheat grown in eastern
Oregon and southwestern Washing
ton. The Farmers' Grain Agency
plant has a capacity of 100.0000 bushels.
AMONG THE ROUND-UP COWBOYS

Harve McCrea is one of the Umatil
la county cowboys who can ride with
the best of them. Though handicap
ped by a accident in his youth that
left him with a crooked neck, he
puts up a ride that draws attention.
Three years ago he was thrown time
and again during the Round-Up try
outs and in the contest pulled leath
er to stay on Angel. A year later ho
had improved to such an extent that
he qualified for the semi-finals and
the same year won the prize-saddle
in the bucking contest at Elko, Ne
vada. He has been working out tbe
bickers at the tryouts this year and
they who used to laugh at his early
efforts take off their hats to him
now. He Is a son of Fred McCrea,
well known resident of Holdman.
Benny Dobbins Is going after the
big money at the Round-Cp this year.
He came to Pendleton from Eko, Ne
vada, where he won the prize saddle.
He is a brother of Johnny Dobbins,
who has been at several Round-Ups
in company with Skeeter Bill Rob
bins. ' Dave White is back this year to
make another try for championship
honors. Last year he was eliminated
by Whistling Annie who threw htm.
White Is a good rider and he nevr
rides safe. He believes in getting all
the buck he can out of his mount and

IT ISN'T YOUR
TOWN-
IT'S YOU!
Every Pcndletonian lives ill the kind of a town
Like the kind of a town we like,
You needn't slip your clothes in a grip
And start out on a long, long hike.
You'll never find what you left behind.
For places like this are few ;
It's a knock at yourself if you are not keeping up,
It isn't your town it's you.
Real towns are not made by men afraid
But by confidence and pep instead ;
'Cause everyone works and nobody shirks
Has put old Pendleton ahead.
And if while you make a personal stake
Your neighbor can make one, too,
Your home's in a town, that's a dandy town,
And the one we are addressing is YOU.

The Bartender's
Dream
Out went the light in Kelly's room.
And like a path In the opaque gloom
The cold steel shaft of an arc light
gleamed, ?i
And this Is a dream as Kelly dreamed;
Drifting alone on a bar straw raft.
A violet set tossing his. craft; I
And a far-flung spray of a possue tint
Was sending the seaweed'that flavor
ed of mint, K
.Sending white bergs of lump-cracked
ice
That rattled the straws like the rat
tle of dice.
The sea did toss the frail straw bark
On an Isle that loomed like a pink ot
dark;
And lemons there were on a thousand
, trees,
.Sliced crosswise and ready to
squeeze;
And a fountain of setzer spouted its
spray
On a bevy of nymphs disporting at
play.
A ten pin crew came filing out
And passed the nymphs and the selzer
spout;
And each held under his Yvett robe
A cocktail cherry big a a globe;
And, they bowled away on a dozen
bars,
And used as pins the blackest cigars.
Kr-r-r! and the clock said dawn,
And Kelly npmng up with a stlffled
yawn.
Dressed himself and hurried away
To deal out "pints" the rest of th
day.

You'vo tried out more dif

you can remember. It's dis
couraging. And expensive.
Naturally, you'd stop this
"shopping" around quick
if you could find a cigarette
that never grew tiresome.
Fatima is such a cigarette.
Men don 't simply get Fati

Because they find that
Fatimas never grow tiresome. .
Fatimas are SENSIBLE
cigarette inasmuch as they
are always cool and comfort
able to the throat and tongue.
And they allow you to smoke
as you like to smoke
without leaving a trace of
"mean" feeling afterward.
Is it any wonder men adopt
Fatimas and STICK to Fati
mas for their steady smoke?
Surely you should at least
TRY Fatimas.
