WHY PENDLETON
Continued from i'nce i 7.
At Christmas time the Comtu-rei:il
asofiation plays Santa Clans to the
children at a municipal Christmas
celebration on the streets. And the
city 1 roves herself neighborly and ap
preciative of the sp I end id patronage
f f the Jl' Hind -Up. During the past
four years I have pcrs mallv headed
15 excursions onl of Pendleton t-
: other fairs and festivals in Oregon.
J Washington a nd Idaho.
Ono of the latest nehievmenis of
; the Commercial association is the stair
ling of Happy Canyon as an evening
I KUppb-mcnt to the Round-Up. The
J crowds at the succeeding Ftoiind-Ups
j became, so lartre that it was deemed a
duty of the city to provide them en-
t' rta inment in the even in v an well as
during the afternoons. Therefore, a
"little town," a replica nf that Pen
dleton of th wild and wonly days, was
built within an enclosed pavilion and
there was produced on entertainment
that showed all of the pastimes of the
early days from gambling to "necktie
parties." It, too. became such a suc
cess that last year the association built
an entirely new and permanent pavil
icn at a cost of $!7.noo.
Hacks Sptrll With Money.
Pendleton hacks her spirit with her
moneT. The busin"" men are a gen
erous lot and contribute readily t nli
that Is meritorious. As proof I cite'a townsman of mine and that la whv
the fact that over $90,000 was raised in ' We are able to boast of Pendleton uJ
Ing "The Biggest IJttle city in th
Pendleton during 1916. exclusive of
what wils spent on the Kouud-Pp and
Happy Canyon, for public enterprises
of various characters.
In conclusion I want to say that I
i bclu'Vo in the city of my home and
j that I do not urant that there Is itn-
ether city In the whole wide belt of the
earth that is the United States that Is
her equal. And my belief Is the belief
o every man. woman and child that Is
World."
