Because of the various im provements made this year the fair pavilion is a cleaner and more attrac tive place than It has ever been before. The booths are also attractive and will serve to keep visitors for many days if everything within the pavilion Is examined with care.

' ened with arrest if they return to this The station exhibit is confined en- tlrely to a display of grains and gras ses. The various varieties of wheat and other grain grown in eastern Oregon are shown and likewise for age crops such as alfalfa, field peas, etc. Perhaps the most Interesting thing about the station display is the exhibit showing the work that is be ing done towards wheat crossing. The station has been endeavoring to pro duce a wheat that will have the good yielding qualities of the forty fold va riety and at the same tfm have the non-Bhatterlng characteristic of club wheat. The experiment Is proceeding with entire success and Mr. Wlthcorn. be Is confident he will develop a va riety that will combine the good qualities of both forty fold and club. He now shows the results of the ex periment for the first year and says that not until the third generation will the hybred characteristics be el iminated so as to give the new vari ety a standing of its own. The experiment station display is directly back of the band stand and against the west wall of the fair pa vlllion. The Art Room. This year the art room. is under the chart of Mrs. Lee Teutsch and that lady Is being assisted by Mesdames Dean Tatom and Frank Perham. During yesterday and this forenoon they were kept very busy arranging the exhibits for that department of the fair which Is always an Interesting feature. Morrow County.

He expects, to have but little trouble in getting a progressive plat form adopted. Roosevelt was cheerful concerning the platform and said while he ex pected it. would be progressive "It would not go any further than the people are prepared to go."

The young woman fainted and upon her recovery became hysterical. When she was quieted she agreed to tell the entire story to Detectives Wren, Burke, and Richards. Following the confession.

Give Concerts During the Fair and NURSE SECURED UMATILLA PRIMARY ELECTION PROVES TO BE Assembly vs. Anti-Assembly Been the Bowerman and Ellis Are Given Large bly Candidates Are Repudiated Race Between Barrett and Wilson la Very Close and Undecided Yet Mann Wins Out in Represent Mre Race With Peterson, Ilinklc and Henneman Running Strong for Sec ond Place Burroughs Wins Over Iletidley. BARRETT AND WILSON RUNNING VERY CLOSE According to the latest returns from Umatilla, Morrow and Un ion counties it will require the official count to determine the result of the race for Joint sen ator. So far Wilson is in the lead, with later results cutting down the lead until it seems that the final result will not show more than 20 in favor of either. The returns so far in give Wilson a slight lead In this county and in Morrow while Barrett has carried Union by about 21 votes, the few yet to hear from not being large enough to change the result there. With the lightest vote ever polled at a primary election in Umatilla county, the voting Saturday Is also declared to be the most erratic. In some precincts the assembly and an ti-assembly lines were lightly drawn, while in others no attention seems to have been paid to this Issue. On the state ticket the anti-assembly feel ing was more strongly shown than on the county ticket as with the ex ception of Ellis and Bowerman, all assembly candidates received a light er vote in the county than diea their free lance oponents. Ellis has ap parently carried the county four to one over his nearest competitor, Laf- IS HERE FOR ROUND-UP FAMOUS "BULL-DOGGER" WILL BE FEATURE OF THE SHOW Vaults From Horse to Back of Steer, Bears Htm Down and Holds Him With His Teeth Did Trick Before Roosevelt With Broken Wrist. Buffalo Vernon, champion of the world at the art of "bulldogging" steers, is in the city today and Is here to take part In the Roundup. He Is ito give exhibitions during the Round up and for the same will be paid by the management, no contests having been arranged for this event. Need less to say the coming of Buffalo Vernon has been awaited with Inter est and his appearance here today has been hailed w-ith delight by those who are turning their energies to wards making the Roundup a suc cess. To "bulldog" a steer is not an easy Job at any time and It is especially difficult when the steer is s-omewhat wild as are the steers with which Vernon generally deats. In "bull dogging" a steer the rider vaults from his horse and lands astride the steer's neck. Catching the animal by the horns he bears It down by the weight of his body on the neck. While the steer is down he then grips the lip of the 'animal by his teeth and holds him in that manner, with his arms and hands entirely free. It Is something of a stunt. Buffalo Vernon who will do the "bulldogging" at the Roundup is a stout and biocky buckaroo and has a world wide reputation. He was at the frontier show at Cheyenne while Colone(l Roosevelt was there. In speaking of the work done by some of the Intrepid men who were at Cheyenne, the ex-president said: "Then there was Buffalo Vernon. I noticed that when he went out to bulldog the steer he wore a leather bandage around his wrist. I asked him why he wore it and he said he had broken his wrist the day before. Now, it Is a pretty hard Job for a man with every bone sound to bull dog a steer. Buffalo Vernon did It with a broken wrist." The champion "bulklogger" reach ed here this morning from Laramie. Wyoming. After the frontier show at Cheyenne he went to the Fiesta of the Dawn of Gold at Sacramento. Af ter that he performed at Reno, Og den and Salt Lake, winding up at Larimle. MOST ERRATIC Shown by Returns Not to Have Big Issue. Majorities, But Other State ferty, while Bowerman's lead over Dimick is substantial. Wilson, the assembly candidate for joint senator, seems to have carried the county by about 30, though torn plute returns from all precincts may give the lead to Barrett, as nearly all the outlying precincts are giving Bar rett majorities. Mann, the avowed anti-statement No. 1 man, leads the legislative tick et, while the race for second place seems to be between Hinkle and Pe terson, with Henneman a possibility. It will probably take the official ceunt to decide between these three candfr dates. Burroughs is apparently leading Fred Hendley for county recorder by half a hundred votes. The preciacta yet to be heard from will probably cut down this lead, but if there are no . mistakes In the figures thus far, It -will be Impossible for the present en cumbent to entirely overcome the lead his opponent has. Geary Kimbrell has been nominat ed for county surveyor over C. E. Ma comber by a two to one vote, white Cockburn Is leading Wellman for commissioner by about 4 to 1. I Sheriff Taylor was endorsed for r nomlntion by the republicans and Frank Sallng was endorsed by .the democrats for clerk, as was also CL W. Bradley for treasurer. T. J. Mahoney was renominated for Joint representative without op position. "he other candidates nomi nated without opposition were J. N. Burgess senator; Gilliland. judge; Saling, clerk; Bradley, treasurer; Tot som, coroner; Parkes. justice of tha peace, Pendleton precinct, and Fred erick Stelwer central committeeman, Pendleton precinct. The following is the complete vota In 21 precincts on joint senator and representative: Senator Barrett. 565; Wilson, 894. Represcentatlves (two to be nomi nated) Henneman. 276; Hinkle, 322; Kern, 265, Mann, 556; Peterson, 318; Schmitt, 166. Democratic Nominees. Practically no interest was mani fested in the democratic primaries. The results have only been received from two or three precincts outside of Pendleton. It Is therefore Impos sible to tell whether Myers or West carried the county or whether Lane'a name was written in more times than Manning's' for congressman. It is un derstood, however, that Lane will re fuse to run against Lafferty, so that Manning will be the nominee. The county nominees will be: Senator, Dr. C. J. Smith; judge, J. W. Maloney; sheriff. T. D. Taylor; commissioner, J. B. Saylor. ( Pendleton Precinct. ' Representative in congress Ellis, 55; Lafferty, 16; Reed, 8; Shepherd, 4. Governor Abraham, 6; Bower man, 40; Dimick. -23; Hofer, 20.
