With perfect weather and catherfna;
thousands the beginning of the ninth
annual Ifound-L'p carries the omen
that it will be even a greater aucceaa
than ever before.
Patriotism is the key note of the
entire pageant but in no way detract
ing from the wild thrills crowded with
incidents and accidents chasing each
other over the arena, -
, The snening day crowd is fullv as
large as the crowds of previous years
and Pendleton ia already congratulat
ing itself upon staging the greatest
Red Cross benefit in the west.
Promptly at 1:30 to the strains of
the Star Spangled Banner played by
the Camp Lewis band the ninth an
nual Pendleton Round-Up opened wltft
the raising of the stars and stripes.
Following this the crack company ef
the Umatilla County Ouards charged
across the arena in skirmish formati

came the hanging of the kaiser when
a nameless man in the dress of Wil
helm was dragged at neck break speed
at the end of a lariet.
Mayor George Baker of Portland,
followed with a short talk on the 4th
Liberty loan. Stripped to his short
sleeves he broke into bis subject with
words that could not help being In
spiring.
Mayor Baker, after making sure
that he could be heard said:
"We are at war. Our men
are anxious to get In the fight.
The spirit of America might be ex
pressed by the words of the negroes
wno. on leaving for France. "Just wait
until us Angry Saxons get over there.'
We have 24,000,000 million men in
France because the open season for
Germans is on and the hunting Is
good.
"We are through with men nd wo
men who are not patriotic We want
nothing but complete surrender from
the Hun. That question is settled.
Xow comes the question: Are you go

it comes to giving money to those men
