With a yip, a yell and a wave

the "father" of 20 cowboys and
cowgirls, and owner of a string
of fine horses, jumped today
from No. 17 into the arms of
Henry W. Collins, president of
the Round-Up.
Irwin, who hails from Chey

tracks and arenas, is ready for
the opening of the big show to
morrow. Most of his bunch ar
rived here yesterday, but with
him today came Walter Sterling,
Frank Bell and Tommy Douglas.
Mr. Irwin is accompanied here
by his attractive family, Mrs. Ir

Mrs. Walters formerly rode but

"We have a lot of mighty interest

one Impression Mr. Hopper confessed
to th's morning. "One thing that Is
something of a surprise to me is that
there Is a city of this size and with the
life of Pendleton this far inland. You
know, I had the impression that all
of the big cities were on the coast. I
see I had a wrong impression."
The Hoppers left the islands August
13, and since their arrival on the
mainland they have been driving
through the country. They visited
points of interest in California, then
came to Crater Lake and thence to
Portland. They came from Portland
to Pendleton and plan to remain here
until after the Round-Up. Later thev

there they expect to see the Grand
