Address ing a large crowd, President Taft to ('ay made the first speech of his trip here, choosing the agricultural de partment for his subject, insl-ad of politics as bad been expected. He sai l he expected the. $15,0(10,000 mainten ance cost of the department would In crease, but that the expense would be Justified by the good it would do the farmers by teaching. At breakfast he outlined his trip west, saying he would discuss the is sues of the day and make clear those which will bo known as "my policies." He said: "While I don't say that the present department miht do the same work with less money, by a elos ei knit organization, I am confident that Increased appropriations yearly may be expected. The chief function of the department Is advisory and ed ucational and it lncluib s scientific investigation. "With reference to the improve ment of agricultural edu'ati .n and to active and effective cooperation, by the Kate authorities with the federal authorities, there is nothing left to be desired. "It Is proposed that every county and state have trained ariitilturist.'- to he paid partly by the government and partly by t'o county. It is thought that by actual experiment, in crnnection with Higiisehools and as ricultural colleges, such a stimulntr would be given the present generation of farmers that the effects on the long coming generations will be doubled.

Pegraff, Ohio. P. J. Petrlch, aged 5 7, marshal of Ohio's model tow n, Pe-t-raff, where there has not been a law violation in two years, is dead at this place, neti-leli was planning to give up his office, which pays $100 a year, because there was nothing to do. There w ill probably be no successor, as every person in town prides him silf on being honest and feels that It Is not right to take what In many places would be regarded as a politi cal yluni. Despite the fact that the weather was threatening during the earlier hours of the forenoon and for a while tV afternoon, fifteen thousand wild ly ecthtcvi-: f.'.ns el the fr-'litter turned out and paekid themselves In to one mammoth solid mass of hu manity at Round-Up park this after noon to witness the finals in the inn tests that have been under way for the pa t three days As early as 7 o'clock this morning, a long line of people fell into a line that evtonded more than half a block south on Main street, eagerly pur chasing tickets for this afternoon's show and well before rne t.me for the beginning of the performances, stand ing room in the park was at a premium. None the less thrilling and spoctuc u'ar than on the previous days, buck aroos. buckarettes. ropers, racers, bull doguers and other performers kept at their perilous sport, unmindful of life and limb, in the mad race for a cham pionship. Tile gallop'ng parade was decidedly an improvement on that of the prev ious days, which moans that It was wonderful, as it was high class on each of the preceding rays. More horses, men and women took part, while the formation and figures exe cuted in the arena, were executed as though the hundreds of animals had been trained for the event. Buffalo Vernon gave an exhibitions of steer roping in which he performed the feat of running down, lassoing, throwing and tying his 3teer In th marvelous time of 45 seconds Mrs. Bertha Blancett. the champion woman bronco bu ter of the world, repented her da'ly performance of rid- (Contlnued on page eight.) VIEWS OF ALASKA Seward, Alaska, Sept. 16. In an address delivered here last night, Glf ford Piuehot stated that he had great ly mollified his views on Alaska since making his trip of inspection.

He reserved the right to express himself later concerning the manner of solving the problem of developing the coal fields, but strongly opposed monopolistic control.

Rus sell prohibitionist cnnd;dnte for may or of Minneapolis In 1902. was fined on a charge of drunkeness. He said he was out of politics and had spent tho summer gardening. "The best show In the country," is the way Governor Oswald West ex- pressed himself yesterday afternoon ! after the close of the Round-Up. "I ! once read In a circus herald," he said, "the phrase 'stupenflous, spectacular inspiration." I saw nothing in the cir cus to warrant that description, but It certainlv is applicable to the Round up." Jefferson Myers, pres. dent of the Lewis & Clark exposition, and recently candidate at the democratic primarie for governor of the state, was another to express his rapture after the per formance. He is a member of one of the Journal special trains and so en thusiastic was his party at the even ing meal over the Round-Up that Mr. Myers was commissioned to express their sentiments to the press. Speok Ing for himself and ror the Portland party, he said: "You have the greatest show in the country and every citizen of the state owes Pendleton a debt of gratitude for the advertisement you are giving; Oregon by your great show. I cannot expres- myself sufficiently about It. it Is great, simply great. It is great because it is natural and utterly de void of the artifical and, moreover. It is clean and wholesome. On tho spe cial train on wh.ch I arrived there were Portland people who represented fliin.oao.OOii of wealth in the state and everyone of them Is a booster for Pendleton and for the Round-Up." ' These and similar expresdms re sound on every hand and there Is not one i f 'lie otsands who have wit nessed the show in the past two daysn who have expressed any disappoint ment or nught but unreserved praise for the show, for the association and for the city.
