Restaurant men of Pendleton last night pledged themselvea to keep food prices during the Round-Up within reasonable limits and not allow their cluirges to mount to such figures as to bring undue reflection on either themselves or the city. Complaints made from some quarters in both 1917 and 1918 led to the Commercial Association's requesting an under standing with the caterers. All but two of the restaurant own era In town attended tha meeting and agreed to keep prices reasonable and to give ample portions with meals dur ing the Round-Up. They explained that owing to the heavily increased business they, were obliged to hire additional help and pay higher salar lea and pointed out that some Increase In prices is necessary. The commit tee from the association did not rule against any raise In prices but asked that they be only enough' to cover the actual added expense. Another meeting will be held with the restaurant men some afternoon during the coming weelt when prices will be talked over and at which time the missing restaurant men are ex pected to be In attendance.

Whilo It Is admitted that the possibility of having royalty at the Round Up is probably not 60-f 0, It may bo that the prince can bo prevailed upon to come hero when It is mado clear to. him that the Round-lp is to America what the Kpsoiu Donna derby is to the HritlBh Isles. Every effort will be mado lo convince his highness that he is missing one of the most truly American institutions if he fails to see the Round-Up.'
