ROUND-UP ARE TO BE
Restaurant Men of City Pledge
Themselves Not to Allow
Charges to Mount to Such
Figures as Will Cause Talk.
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.

WASHINGTON'. Aug. 80. Inter
vention hy President Wilson appeared
to he the only thing that will avert a
strike of union workers In the steel
Industry; If they attempt to carry
out their threats. The time limit
given Judge Oray. heud of the United
Ktates steel corporation, Mr reply to
the last letter of the steel workers
committee, requesting a conference,
has expired without a reply being re
ceived. John Fits Patrick, the com
mittee's head, declared there is "noth
ing more to be done,"
Prince of Wales Chatting With Governor
. v; Of Maine on His Recent Arrival at St. John
His Highness, the ninee of Wales, now in Canada, will be invited today
to include the Pendleton Hound-1'p in his itinerary. The "lto'iind-Cp asso
ciation last niKht wired H. W. Collins and S. It. Thompson, now at Calgary,
to extend an invitation to the pr'nee and his party on behalf of tha 1919
Round-l'p, i . . , . . ......
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.'
With the advance ticket sale scheduled to open on Tuesday, 'the com
mittee in churKo is preparing for (ho most strenuous sension In history. The
iiia-I order requests will bo a huge job, and It. is predicted that the 'local de
mand for reserved scats will exceed any previous sal.
Th Baker-Chapman tract,, a large vacant field south and east'of the
Kound-rp park, has been rented by the association us a imrking ground for
automobiles and sue nil hundred cars ma tie parked there each day dur
ing the fchow. ThreM streets In that vicinity will also bo vni fo- n,.
three day and the vacant tract went of tho ground ulso used for' parking
places. l;very available area in the west end of town Is being sought for
spuce in which to keep tho hundreds of autos coming.
Among the latest performer to announce her coming to the l:dund-Up
is Buffalo lV.ima, of IJvlngston, Montana.' Kimiia claims to be a regular
cowgirl who can ride any of them and she wants to bring her horses down
with her. Buffalo Kmnia has noi performed here before.
