FEB. 9. .1912 Those voting business men who brought the Ronndnp to Pendleton sbonld always hare anything they want in that old town. The wild west show has done more to advertise Pendleton than anything ever before offered. The Bonndop is an asset mat purse. keeps continually at it. The show over, for weeks the people who were there kept talking it, the newspapers harped on it and now the moving pio tures are taking the exbitition to the homes of the thousands who were not there. Like the river, the Round up rolls on forever. And seemingly, the people never tire of it. The pic tures were exhibited in this city Sat urday and Sunday nights, and the theater was crowded, and if the pio tares were here tonight, just as many would be there again. It's the spirit of the old West that oalls them, and they go wherever the call is sounded. Matel is victorious in another rnnnd in hn nirnnit uoni't. She has been found not guilty of forging a will as charged. Of course the sequel will be a damage salt and the county will be called upon to witness oontinaatioa of this Young estate case of whion it is distressingly tired. . And should Dr. Watts see fit to ever again bring a otargi) against this woman who souses him and bis attorneys with defeat so easily, let him finance said prosecu tion oat of the fatness of his own Knight of Old. The knights of the days of chivalry were so well protected by their armor that they were practically Invincible to all ordinary weapons, n-ven wneu dismounted tbey could not be injured save by the miserlcordla, a thin dagger, which penetrated the chains of the ar mor. In more than one battle knights fallen from their horses could not be killed until thefr armor had been bro ken up with axes and hammers. The Bazzard oase at Pert Orchard, Wash., wbioh has been claiming the attention of the Northwest for tbe past two weeks, has come to an end by the jury flndiug tbe '"starvation dontor" guilty of manslaughter. Tbe evidence in the case was the most horrifying iu the annals of oiiminal court proceedings, the testimony point ing to tbe faot that Mrs. Uazzard lit -teraliy starved her patient, a wealthy English woman, to death with ber fast oure. A sister of the viotim was res oued from tbe horrors of tbe alleged sanitarium and it was mainly on her testimony that tbe proeeoution depend ed for oonviotloD, That tbe Bisters nioBe was the object o!

For some months to oome in both meetings of and literature dealing with candidates, the word "logioal" will have a piominent place.

"One thing I learned during a recent visit to Europe was that tbe average life of a stone building is nqt more than 700 years," said a builder. "Naturally I was interested in construction work and gave more attention to this part of Europe than I did to the examina tion of art galleries and tbe tombs of famous men. The buildings of Europe are no better in their construction thnn thoso of this country. I- don't think I saw a building in Europe that is bet ter built than tho cnpltol in Washing ton. In nearly all of tho older cities of England I noticed that tbe town halls, which had been constructed in many cases COO years ago, wero beginning to collapse.

It ranks with the best of the flesh healing remedies designed for man; and it is equally as prompt In curing the wounds and flesh diseases common among animals. Owners of blooded horses prefer it to any other liniment because It leaves no disii.quring scars in any of the minor accidents or ailments.
