SPEED CONSUMES OIL
Cars which are driven at sustain
ed high speed for a long distance re
quire more attention to lubrication
than those driven the same distance
at moderate speed or with occasional
stops, according to the Emergency
Road Service of the Oregon State
Motor association. Sustained high
speed generates considerable heat
in all moving parts and this heat
consumes lubricants at a rapid rate.
Heppner
Grandstand Race
Prefaces Round-Up
Pendleton August 28. (Special)
Where records in bulldogging, rop
ing, bucking and racing have been
made at the Pendleton Round-Up
grounds, another lightning event is
being staged it's the race to com
plete the new $35,000 concrete, fire
proof grandstand for the , coming
show, Sept. 11-12-13-14, to replace
the structure destroyed by fire Aug
ust 16.
Victory is already assured, and
Pendleton promises to its thousands
of visitors adequate, comfortable
seating, as the result of day and
night work by a crew of 90 men
Funds for the new grandstand came
from the people of Pendleton, who
also received some assistance from
generous neighboring friends.
In addition to actual cash, these
friends have loaned to the Round
Up pioneer vehicles including stage
coaches, buckboards, wagons, phae
tons and countless other old-time
paraphernalia for the Westward
Ho! parade, to substitute for the
equipment lost in the recent blaze.
The parade, Friday morning feature
of the Round-Up, will wind through
Pendleton streets at 10 a. m., with
5000 taking part, including Indians
in tribal splendor, and whites garb
ed in the picturesque fashion of
frontier days. The Indians will
include the 2000 camped in the In
dian village at the grounds.
In every respect, the Round-Up,
now in its thirty-first year, biggest
and oldest show in the Pacific
Northwest, wll be up to the usual
standard of excellence, declared the
Round-Up Association.
Total purses are $8500, of which
$4000 will go for the four major
events: bulldogging, steer roping,
calf roping and bronc riding, for
which Rodeo Association of Amer
ica points are awarded.
There will be 60 head of bucking
stock, including those supplied by
Moomaw & Bernard, of Tonasket,
Wash., and McCarty & Elliott, of
Chugwater, Wyo. Sixty Texas long
horns will be used for the dogging
and steer roping, and 22 head of
calves for the calf roping event.
As usual, the Round-Up is proud
that it is the only show in the
world today that offers to rodeo fans
the chance to see two types of buck
ing contests the chute method and
the snubbing method. Chutes are
used for the world bucking, while
for the northwest bucking horses
are snubbed and saddled in the
arena.
Happy Canyon, night show of the
Round-Up, staged up-town, has
spent $11,000 in improvements this
year, including new seating facili
ties in the grandstand, and a new
maple dance floor, best in eastern
Oregon, in the pavilion.
Airplane Shots Show
Electrical Industry
Vivid airplane shots of the Colum
bia river basin ranging from the
mouth of the mighty river to the
picturesque Wallowa mountains and
from the fruitful Yakima valley to
the pine-blanketed Deschutes coun
try are one of the many features
of "24-Hour Service," a sound movie
scheduled for free showings at the
Star theater here Thursday, Sep
tember 19.
Into every corner of the territory
it serves, Pacific Power & Light
company, producer of "24-Hour Ser
vice," sent the cameraman to record
the industry and resources of each
locality. Historic spots, outstanding
scenic points and local people at
work and at play throughout the
Columbia river area are pictured.
Pilot of the plane from which the
aerial portion of the picture was
taken was Roy Schreck, aerial wea
ther observer once lost in the wilds
of western Idaho for several days
following a crash on one of his me
teorological flights.
Basically the picture is a fast
moving and dramatc story of the
electric power industry, picturing
the complex generation, transmis-
son and dstribution processes of
modern electric service. On this
groundwork is built the whole fas
cinating picture of this part of the
Pacific northwest, with many se
quences showing various -local in
dustries of the region at work.
