In the porta of cowboy land. The
yearly time of frontier festival Is at
hand The reveille of the annual
Round-Cp sounded thin morning; and

Fonrotteo for the time are the wor
ries of war. Business troubles are
stunts that only the mind of a cow
boy could conceive, the aupdlence has
scant time to pause and reflect and
la borne along; on an ever-awelllng
tide of excitement until engulfed In
the "Let 'er Buck" spirit for which
the Round-Up is famous.
Pendleton does not content herself
with doing th Infra by halves. The
Round-Up program proper only pre
sents a part of the life of the firs;
settlers of the west. There were oth
er phases Just as Interesting ami
just as exciting as life of the open
prairie Therefore, to complete thn
picture as well as to round out a full
day of frontier festivity, Pendleton
created "Happy Canyon.'" a replica
of an early day western town, and
here the vast crowd la entertained In
ths evening. After a program of
western sports on the "street,' the
audience la Invited into the "Red
Dog Gambling Palace" and "Hell
time Harry's Dance Hall' where
flourish the Indoor pastimes of tho
westerner. ISvery game of chance
known to the early-day gambler,
faro, roulette, rondo, chuck -a-luck,
wheel of fortune, poker and "21.- In

long bars "red llkker" in dispensed
with western hospitality. But for

games and Jags are not made by the

The Round-Up u originated In
1910 because Pendleton felt the need
of a municipal festival To meet the
need fully something distinctive,
something significant and something
commemorative must be devised. The
Round-Up filled the bill of essentials.
It Is distinctive because there are
few communities where such a show,
in all of Its completeness, can be suc
cessfully staged. It is significant be
cause l'endleton has been and is yet
the capital of a large stock country;
and It Is commemorative because it
celebrates the passing of the last
frontier.
To preserve the purpose and spirit
for which it was lnmvlv.i1 the cltl-
against the factors of degeneracy.
They contributed money aa Individ
uals to provide grounds, buildings
and equipment, then deeded the
whole to the city and decreed that
never should any rodivldua! receive
from It salary or dividend Thus was
commercialism kept out of It.
Since the fame of the Round-Up
has spread broadcast. resulting In
many Imitations, efforts have been
made to lure it away with offers of
fabulous prices. But the people of
Pendelton only smile at these offers.
They know full well that the Round
Up cannot be transplanted. Its stock,
equipment, cowboys, even its direc
tors might be shipped to another
place, but its spirit. Its setting and
its atmosphere are Immovable. They
are n inseparble pr of the city nd
they wed the Round-Up with bonds
that cannot be severed.

locked In the guard house. The
thousands here today and who will
be here tomorrow and the tomorrow
following tomorrow are seeking re
laxation from the turmoil of the
world. They wanted for a brief mo
ment to enjoy and to celebrate, and.
knowing the Round-Up for what It
is. they came to Pendleton.
What la this Round-Up that la en
popular that busy men and women
come for many miles away, do you
ask?
It has been called the "epic drama
of the west," 'a cowboy carnival," a
"frontier festival." a"a wild west
show."
It la all of this and more. It la a
presentation of the old west to the
new west. It la a reproduction of the
west that has almost vanuished, the
west that history, romance and tra
dition have popularized, the west of
the cowboy and Indian, the west of
the long-horned ster and the wild
horse, the west of the stagecoach
and pony express, and it is here
faithfully depicted in all of Its rugged
grandeur, all of Its wild romance and
ptetry, in all of Its colorful beauty. :
Man struggles with brute for su- j
primacy, the man as often vanquish- i
ed as vanquishing; sinewy ponle.-t.

past in a cloud of dust; Indians, their
tawny bodies bedecked in barbaric
splendor, dance or parade or race: j

Underground Water in Nevada Deserts
In Nevada the bedrock forma a
corrugated surface consisting of
more or less parallel mountain
ranges and broad Intervening troughs
that are filled to great depths with
rock waste washed from the moun
tains These great deposits of rock
waste were In large part laid down
by torrential streams and are rela
tively coarse and porus. Becuse
these deposits are porus the rain that
falls upon them and the run-off t hat
reaches them from the mountains
sink Into them and the valley In
which they lie are exceptionally arid.
These deposits, however, form huge
reservoirs. In which the water Is
stored, and In which, to the limit of
the capacity of the reservoirs, it Is
protected from evaporation. So well
is this water hidden that Its existence '
was not suspected by many of the
early travelers, and even today long
desert roads on which there are no
watering places lead over areas
where ground water could eaelly be
obtained. ;
In a desert valley, even where no
wells have been sunk, it Is generally
pi sslble to ascertain and outline the
areas where ground water lies' near
the surface and to m:tke an intelli
gent forecast of the depth to water In ,
other parts of the valley. If a suffi
cient number of observations are j
made It is also generally possible to '
form a rough estimate of the quan- i
tlty of water that Is annually avail- f
able In such a valley nd to predict i
to some extent the capacity of wells,
the quality of the water, and the cost
of recovery
Aadeat lAkes indicate Former
Humidity.
Many prominent beach rldgc-s and j
other shore features were discovered i
showing that at one. time the valley !
contained two large lakes. One of
these ancient lakes, which has been
' named Lake Tonapah. was about 22
miles long, covered about 85 mllea
i square, and had a maximum depth
iof about 70 feet; the other, which
j has been named Lake Toyabe, was
I about 40 miles long, covered about
! 226 square miles, and had a maximum
depth of about 170 feet. The greater
part of the areas that were sub
merged by these lakes are now occu
pied by barren and desolate alkali
flats, beneath whjch, however, a
great quantity of water lies hidden.

Area Near Tonopah Investigated by
1 I'nitcd States ideological survey,
in an investigation recently made
by O. B Meinzef of the United
fctates ideological Survey of the De
partment of the Interior, In Big
Smoky Valley, and adjacent areas
near Tonopah. Nev., the character of
the vegetation and othr;r surface cri
teria show that the ground water
stands within 10 fei't of the surface
over an area of 130.000 acres. The
mcasurenvnts nm!e indicate that
tens of thoufsands of acre-feet of wa
ter are annually contributed by
mountain streams and by rainfall to
the underground reservoir and that
about the same quantity of ground
water is annually discharged Into the
atmosphere through the soil and the
plants In the shallow-water areas. It
was estimated that In n area of
240,000 cres the ground water lies
within 60 feet of the surface, and
that in an area of 335,000 acres It lies
within 100 feet of the surface. De
tailed maps were made showing Jie
location and extent of these areas.
