THE PENDLE
TON PENDULUM
For the eighth consecutive
year Pendleton has held its
Kound-up. In those eight years
the show has grown from a small,
local affair given in a fenced-off
street to one off the famous en
tertainments of the country.
From Boston to San Francisco,
from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf, the Pendleton Round-up
stands supreme and alone in its
class. Other shows of like nature
have come and gone, but today
there is but one real wild horse-
Indian show in the country the
Pendleton Round-up.
In a case of survival of the fit
test there must he a reason for
such fitness. In this instance it
is not difficult to discover. The
R'und-up is but a flood tide, an
overflowing of the Pendleton
spirit, of Pendleton team work,
of municipal co-operation.
The Pendleton Round up is not
the business of this man or that
man. It is not the business of
any group of men- it is the busi
ness of every man, woman and
child in Pendleton. It knows no
faction, is hampered by no clique
ruled by no ring. It is of the
people, for the people and by the
people of Pendleten, standing
hand in hand, shoulder toshould
er like a well drilled army.
Of course, Till Taylor is the
president, the general-in-chief,
so to speak. But Till Taylor sub
ordinates himself to the lowliest
citizen of the town if this is nec
essary for the success of the
Round-up. Ke is the titular boss,
but an "easy boss," so easy, so
so silent, so self-effacingthat the
stranger might think him a man
without force. Yet he is a man
of steel with a heart of gold and
every citizen obeys his every or
der. Years ago, when the Round-up
was in its making, there were,
perhaps, factions in Pendleton.
Factions in small cities usually
begin with trouble among the
banks over the county, city or
other public funds. The leaders
of the Pendleton banks held a
love feast and agreed on an ex
act division of all public deposits.
Since then neither bank has
"stood" for a candidate they
have become far removed from
politics. Through that and sim
ilar reasons Pendleton has the
two largest and strongest banks
in Oregon outside of Portland.
Perhaps we have thus given
the basic reason for the growth
of the city, for the success of its
ventures, for its standing among
the cities of the state. It was
the-'limination of political rivalry
that brought the banks close to
the people, and then the people,
headed by the banks, secured
the great Pendleton Woolen Mill
the Eastern Oregon Hospital for
the Insane, the Blewell Harves
ter Company, and many smaller
enterprises.
The Pendleton pe n d u 1 u m
swings back and forth with
rythm and certainty. It does
not move with hesitancy today
and acceleration tomorrow.
Steadily, regularly, propelled by
a united, homogeneous commu
nity, it clicks off the seconds of
growth, moves the minute hand
on a steady round of progress
and urges the hour hand around
and around in an ever-increasing
sweep of prosperity. Ore-gonian.

"I don't know any one that would
marry me."
"You don't mean lt! Why, there's
lots o' nice girls would be glad of the
position. 1 know a girl that would mar
ry you and make you a good wife."
"Who's that?"
"Why, Mr. Crnbb, you wouldn't have
me tell you! She wouldn't thank, me
for doin' so. If she did lt would be
Immodest of her."
"Is It Susan TarkJ"
"No."
"It ain't Mells Billings, is lt?"
"No; I don't refer to Melis. But I
won't give you any more guesses."
"Seems to me that's kind o' mean."
"I'll tell you what I'll do. Come In
to our house Sunday night and I'll give
you the first letter of her first name."
I made the cull on Sunday evenin
and found all the family except Cyn
thia gone to church. There was a fire
burniu' on the hearth, and the brass
andirons shone beautiful. Cynthia had
some apples and elder on the table
wuitln', and altogether everything look
ed mighty tine. Somehow I could nev
er make my livln' room look like that,
and I told her so. She said men
couldn't do such things; only women
! could.
Cynthia made me feel at home and
I forgot all nliout askin' her the letter
she was goin' to tell me, and I went
awny without It. I met her on the
rond the next day, and I said:
"What was the letter you was goin'
to tell me? I clean forgot it."
"You'll have to come for lt next Sun
day," she said as she hurried on.
I went the next Sunduy night, and
the first thing i did was to ask for
that letterlbefore 1 forgot It. Cynthia
s:i Id she'd tell me Just before 1 went
home, only I was to remind her of lt.
The family was mostly at homo this
time, and Cynthia took me Into a little
(1 by !l room off the dlnln' room. There
was only one easy chair In lt. Cyn
thill set herself down In that and left
me a chair with a wooden seat. To
ward 10 o'clock I gut so tired I couldn't

ed about to rest myself, and Cynthia
moved aside, Bii.l. scclu' she dldu't In

Ix'slile her.
Would you believe it? I went away
without thlnkln' to remind her of the
HrM letter of the girl's iihiiip who
would like to nmrry me! I met her In
n few days In the t.re and asked her
for lt, but she said I'd have to try It
it 1:11 in nn. I If I didn't nmemNr this
time she wouldn't tell me at all.
I went round the third time to get
