A ND now the Pendleton “Round-Up” is coming in fo
** its share of condemnati n by Humane Society head
and others, claiming the stunts and practices on eacl
yeai ’s^ program are cruel to dumb animals. The “bui
light is barred in the United States and roping and but
fogging is lacing the same calamity. Never seeing th
Round-Up we refrain from passing an opinion, but fol
lowing is a long opinion written by E. Hofer, presiden
of the Oregon Humane society: “The Pendleton Round
up is not a state institution. It exists without legislatioi
or appropriation. It is a private enterprise for money mak
ing. As such it has no more icenes to practice or permi
outrageous acts of cruelty than the poorest private citi
zen. Its officers permit horrible acts of cruelty with ful
knowledge of the facts and in defiance of the laws agains'
cruelty.
“The Oregon State Humane society has always treated
the Round-up with consideration and the community
backing it with the greatest kindnes. They were always
leady to promise elimination of cruelty .complained of,
but there was always plenty, and thia year, in spite or
protests from our officers on the grounds, there was more
than ever. The time has come to wipe out the whole brut-
• al show’.
“About ten years ago my wife and I attended as guest,
of the Round-up officials, occupying a box in the grand
stand. The first hour of the show a big beautiful steer
was roped on a dead run, throwing so as to turn a com
plete somersault, breaking his horns and one hind leg.
We left the show never to return. More people are do
ing that each year.
"The Round-up as a picture of the cattle industry’ in
the pioneer days is a fraud. I have talked with men and
women who participated in the real round-ups and
worked ht roping and branding horses and cattle all
their lives on the range anti who stijl have the smell of
burnt hair in their lungs. They all tell me no such cruelty
was practiced and no maiming and crippling of animals
on the ranges was tolerated.
“It is needless to go into details about acts of cruelty
at the Pendleton Round-up. The newspapers were full
of them. They were 1 eported from day to day in the Port
land pane1 T

was true of the Chicago rodeo.
Our humane uiiicers policed many of the county rodeos,
all conducted for private gain. All had exhibitions of
cruelty, but none so bad as Pendleton, from newspaper
accounts. The influence of the round-up is evil.
It
breeds and develops ciuelty. The original big round-up
of the Oregon country, after which it is modeled, was
a Sunday school picnic compared to the Pendleton ex
hibition of brutalities. In the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s w'hen
cattle were driven up to central Oregon ranges from
Californai, Arizona and New Mexico, by way of Reno,
Surprise and Warner valleys, the great annual round-up
took place on Goose lake and all who had bunches or
herds of cattle or brands of horsese, large or small, as
sembled there in spring or early summer.
There w’as
good grass and water for the stock, fine w’eather for the
branding, fun and feasting. The Indian tribes mingled
with the whites and there were races and gambling.
Stock was sold and traded and w’hen al’ the livestock
found its rightful owner the herders separated. w’ent
with their cattle to their grazing grounds to meet again
another year. It is an abuse and parody on the name to
call the Pendleton show a round-up. The National Hu
mane society will hold its annual convention at Portland
next year. We are planning to have the national offi
cers attend the Pendleton Round-up.
“Oregon should show’ a clean entertainment at Pendle
ton. The round-up cannot go on as at present. It has
been treated with leniency too long. Consideration for
a home institution has been earned too far. It must be
stripped of every vestige of cruelty» As it stands on the
published reports it disgraces the fair name of our state
and is setting a vicious example to every state in the union
that Oregon as a progressive civilization cannot afford to
tolerate. We enacted a law requiring that kindness to
animals be taught the children in our public schools, and
the legislature appropriates money to enforce the law’s
against ciuelty to animals, and then we capitalize cruel-
• ties for a holiday.
“Newspapers suggest that we legalize bullfighting.
Might as w’ell ask the humane society to supervise a bull
fight at Tia Juana as to expect it to guarantee a round
up without cruelty. It can’t be done.”

E. P. Clarke, Editor of the Riverside, California

That a recent visit to Neu' England has made
it very evident that California, Florida anil
other tourist states no longer have a monoply
on community advertising.
That Maine, for e? in pie, in the north east cor
ner of the country and far more famous for con
servatism than enterprise, is putting over one
of the mosft vigorous and effective publicity and
advertising campaig .■ that has ever been car
ried on in the count, y. That campaign is baaed
on the thei ry that ti 2 summer tourist business
which only lasts 1 ree months, is one of the
most valuable assets of t e stale. It is claimed
that-a million tourists n w visit Maine every
summer and spend $lL0,00,000. The ambi
tion seems to be to inc. case this revenue to
