Cronan of lone and Miss Muriel Sallng, late queen of the Pendleton Round-Up, were married at St. Pat rick's rectory by the Rev. Father P. J. O'Rourke. All circumstances sur rounding this romance which came to such a sudden climax, were kept so quiet that even the closest friends of the young people were in total igno ranee of the affair until after the ceremony had been performed and Mr. and Mrs. Cronan had left the city for Pendleton. Following is an account of the romance which appear ed fn the Tuesday edition of the Pen dleton East Oregonian: "And they lived happily ever aft erward." That is all that remains to be writ ten of tlie romance of Miss Muriel Saling, twice queen of the Pendleton Round-Un. Queen nf tlip Portland r, - - ...........

The young husband of the festival queen is a brother of J. E. Cronan of Portland, who acted as admiral of the Astoria Regatta over which the Pendleton girl ruled. It was this cir- cumstance that the younger brother used as an excuse for seeking an in-1 troauction to the Round-Up queen one evening at Happy Canyon.

He had already secured a license and made other preparations for a wed ding. The time and the place had been arranged and all that remained was to overcome certain objections of the girl to such an abrupt culmina tion of their romance.
