Looming big in the fall rodeo cal
endar Is the Pendleton Round-Up,
September 18, 19. 20 and 21.
Al
ways a stellar event of world-wide
importance, this year it assumes
still greater lmporance.
For this Is the twentieth annlver
sary and the greatness of the West
ern pageant Is living testimony t<
the success of this communitay en
terprise which was first sponsored by
local people 20’ years ago and which
has never lacked their whole-heart
ed support. Recently a 820,000 bond
issue was voted for the improvement
of the Round-Up park, grandstand,
bleachers, etc. Fitting, indeed, it is
that on this anniversary, there will
be unveiled on Wednesday, the first
day of the Round-Up a statue of the
late Tilman D. Taylor, sheriff of
Umatilla county and second president
of the Round-Up, who in 1920 lost
his life at the hands of outlaws.
Cast In bronze, the heroic statue
is the work of A. Phimister Proctor,
famous sculptor. A beautiful mem
orial park is in readiness to receive
the statue and prominent people will
officiate at the unveiling.
As a new feature this year, pioneers
fropa all over the tate will gather at
the Round-Up and Wednesday will be
Pioneer Day. Hundreds of men and
women of the covered wagon era will
be here to see the Round-Up re-enact
the events of the Old West with its
cowboys and Indians, lbs bucl^JiR
bronks and wild steers. The pioneer?
will arrive by special train on the
Portland Oregonian special.

At 10 O'Clock at Prann
Funeral Parlor.
Falling from the top of an un
usually high hay stack at his ranch
north of town Monday morning,

sident of the Umatilla project, was
Instantly killed.
His neck was
broken and his skull fractured when
