BIG SELLS FLOTO CIRCUS PLEASES OLD AND YOUNG AT AFTERNOON PERFORMANCE Parade Was Long Winding Ribbon of Music, Color and Elegance; Costumes Spotless The big Bells Floto Circus is here at Inst but many a little heart was rather downcast this morning when he found that the hie show had not yet arrived and a groat many wlld etorlcs were In circulation about i o'clock this morning that the first section of the circus trains had "xone In the ditch.'' It appears that tho tremendous length of the circus cars caused the trains to travel at a slow schedule aiid the little chaps who climbed out of bed at 5 a. m. to watch the unloading were due for a long wait. However, there were a great many grown-ups who welcomed the late arrival for they are iui much Interested In watching the unloading and erection of the big clr- cus tents as the Junior Pendletonians and since the big show arrived, every one is satisfied. Immediately after tho first section of tho circus trains pulled Into Pendle- ton, long lines of wagons and cages started to move up the main streets Space for Parking is Sought From City Council; Police Protection to be Improved. The city of Pendleton will conperute with the Hotind-Up and the Happy Canyon managements to see that space for camping is provided for the thousands of tourists who are expected to be here three weeks from now to attend the big shows. Requests to the city council were made last night by H. W. Collins of the Roundd-Up and by J. H. Sturgir, of Happy Canyon and the Commercial Association that additional ground be secured for the accommodation of visiting autolsts with water and toilet facilities provided. ; The expenditure of any very great sum of money will be impossible. May or Hartman told the heads of the managements, but with unanimous consent of the council, the problem was referred to the park committee which will cooperate with the Hound Up and Happy Canyon to take the best care of tourists possible. Councilman C. E. Pcnland suggested that owners of vacant lots permit the city the use of this property during Hound-l'p. Many scores of cars could be provided with camping space in this way, he pointed out, and the sug gestion met with the approval of the, membors. ' The Item of providing police protec tion during the big shows this year will be stressed as never before. The policing of the city will be In charge of Jinks Taylor, and he will have the cooperation of the police committee of the council, a great deal of prelim inary work already having been done. , Many special policemen will be secured, and applications for these men are now being accepted by Chief Taylor. In addition to local men, out side plain clothesmen are being secur ed for the week, and then there will be a largo number of visiting chiefs of. nollcc. railroad agents, and detectives. These men will be here pr'mkrlly to see the sights, but they will have their headquarters at the city hall, and an appeal for cots to accommodate them with a place to sleep wbs mnue last night by Councilman Wlllard Bond. Councilman Manuel Friedly asked for suggestions as to the kinds of work which might be done to advantago hy j the prisoners who rc being taken by the city officers right along and put on the work gang. Tho parks hnve been raked, and other extra Jobs of that nature have been completed. On suggestion of the council, the levee will be thoroughly policed, and some extra work may also be done at the tourist park. The contract for the paving of Thompson street from the railroad to High street was authorised last night, and now Councilman Dick Ixwrence. who has been "stepping on the coun cil for several months on account of that Job of paving, Is able to smile again. Residents who live near the intersection of East Alta and Clay streets presented a petition? asking for s street light.

Tuesday night a meeting of the budget committee will be held. toward the show-grounds which are located on the other side of the "Hound-Up". Massive motor tractors pulled trains of eight and ten cages through the principal thoroughfares which tor a time resembled a mlnlture railroad line. Big spools or reels car ried all the canvas and following these wagons came the gasoline stake driv ers and the rest of the circus equip ment in routine order. In order to facilitate the speedy erection of the tents, the 12 big elephants were called Into play and these pounderous ani-. main, emeshed in steel cable and heavy leather harness pulled, tugged and lugged at the ends of heavy ropes ends of heavy ropes which caused the canvas to "rise In the air " and In the short space of a couple of hours, acres upon acres of tents covered a vertlble city In Itself. It was learned that 91 people were connected with the show which is to entertain Pendleton today for two per formances and the city Is complete in every detail. There are blacksmiths, whcel-wrights, carpenters, painters, harness-make", a doctor and a ,Vcl", a IT, 8. postman, a barber and a com plete confectionery and cigar store and a bakery carried with Sells-Floto which give dally service to its hun- fPnnttnned on tinge I ROUND-UP SOMBREROS MAKE THEIR ANNUAL APPEARANCE ON 'STREETS Borne from the imotliballs, some from the attic, some from the basement, still others fresh from the storea'and all spectac- uiar as to dimensions tho Hound-Up sombreros made their appearance on Pendleton streets today.
