It Is explained by lenland Bros, that the increased price of feed and of labor together with the scar city of men makes It necessary to re duce the number of deliveries or else advance the chances to merchants. The plan of four deliveries will take care of all -local business, provided customers show judgment in placing thetr orders. "For instance," says Clarence Pen land, "a person ordering meat, gro ceries and other items in the morn ing should order them all at one time, if possible so that it will be ne cessary for a delivery wagon to call at that house but once. If one clas of goods is ordered for the 8:15 de livery, another for 10:30, another for 20 P. m. and another for the 4 o' clock delivery It may be seen that a wagon must go to tht patron's house four times during the day. If the orders could be all placed at one time the work for the delivery boys wduld be greatly lessened." It is explained that another way the deliverymen may be aided is through local people having at Immediate hand money necessary for use in pay ing for O. O. I. packages. Whenever a deliveryman is held waiting by such a patron that much time is lost.

It was during the four years spent with our navy soldiers. Sergeant Nelson declares, that he learned the "ins and outs" of real flghtlns. Although but 30 years of ae. Ser jeant Nelson's life reads like a chap ter of fiction. He was with the U. S. marines at Nicaragua during tho rebellion. He was sergeant-major of an over-sea battalion of Canadians and twice wounded while fighting the CJermans near Ypres. He has been awarded the Victoria Cross by Sir John French for saving the life of n British officer on the battlefield and has been decorated by King Albert of Belgium in person He has seen much fighting on the French front and Is considered an expert In trencb fighting and bombing.

In all nine-tenths of an inch fell and It was worth a million dollars to the farmers and stockmen. The rain came too late to spoil the Round-Up and It was Just in time to prepare the ground for fall Heeding and to freshen up the fall ranwe. I-ast year there were no September rains and the farmers had to Heed in the dust. The rains of the weekend will permit farmers to begin seeding right away and It will give them a chance to get the weeds. The rain also assures such Rood fall ransre that the 8 toe It will ko Into the winter fat. f l'r'i l'fisf'( i, I lit H'i J j i! .V I . W . . ! 1 -gj i .McMiillln UtilllV h.fiul.l.-r ..I ,k.

YAKIMA CAXITT KINO. (Continued from faue l.j It was with genuine regiet that the crowd saw Allan DTUmhelier lose his title of champion relay rider through an uccident just as he had -the three day race won, but he never could have lost it to a better rider. Lynch is quicker on the change than any re lay rider that has ridden here and he had a noble string of horses in the Parsons string. Lynch, who hails from Kalispeli, Mont., also won the pony express championship, winning easily all three days over Hruden Uer king and l!ob Anderson. lJrum heller's Injury Saturday was not serious and he was given a ring ing cheor when he returned to the track. He has announced that this was his last ride as he Intends to get married next week and quit the game. Drumhelier entered the race here a sick man and It was only hia nerve that kept him up. Mabel Le Long, riding the Drum heller string, still retains her title of champion cowgirl relay rider which she won last year. Accidents had put her well In the lead of Donna Card, riding the McCarty string, and Jo sephine Sherry, riding her own, and she took no chancea of losing her ad vantage by a fall on a slippery track Saturday. Josephine Sherry was unable to ride owing to her Injury of Friday and Katie Wilkes Canutt substituted for her. She too. however, was the victim of an accident, her first horse falling with her. and was forced to retire. She was not hurt and later in the day won the cowpony race. Crowd Was Record One. No greater crowd ever saw a Round- L'p than saw the champions made Saturday afternoon, and but few larjfer crowds were ever attracted by any sporting event. The ticket booths were closed by the time the show had gotten under way. It was unfortunate that such a record crowd should have been the first Kound-Up crowd to be rained on In the eight years the local show has been staged. For half an hour a steady shower kept up, but It drova no one away. The same rain wet the track and made the races dangerous. Slower time and a number of bod spills are charged up allalnst old "Jupe." It began to look an If a Round l.'p was to pass without a stagecoach accident but the race Saturday pre vented such a record. An accident oc curred and it was of the usually spec tacular nature, one of the lumber ing old carriers, driven by ouy Hayes, as It careened along the back stretch, struck the fence, took out a post and wddenly skidded on the slick track proceeded to mow down the whole back stretch of the arena fence. We Are Very Thankful To the people of Pendleton and the visitors in Pendleton ' during the last week. Our business was simply enormous, far beyond our expectations. It makes us feel truly grate ful for this support, and also makes us feel as though we are giving the people exactly what they want. It is our aim and ambition to hold the advancing market price down as close to normal conditions as is possible and we are evidently succeeding, if our progress in business is any criterion. YOC OAK 7 C7 WK LKA SJ 2 THC GOLOEN RULE r J At T Coach l-lnlshctl I lace. So great was the momentum of the coach that posts were flattened and bourds splintered into kindling- The coach never stopped, but finished the rare. Oovernor Withycombe added a fea ture tu the program Saturday thut was unheralded. After leading tlu grand mounted parade on his beauti ful mare. Loretta, he came back up the truck, making his spirited mary dance like a ctrcus hore. Another unscheduled feature was the exhibition ride made by Jackson Sundown, the Indian champion buck aroo of last year. Chief Tall Pine, the bodyguard of Queen Lula, attempted to bulldog a steer In full war regalia, but his hoi 1 on the steers horns slipped off and the animal galloped away. Tommy Douglas. the Cheyenns clown, extended his repertoire Satur day and appeured in the trick riding. He was no amateur, either, and ho and hi diminutive mount kept tht: crowd merry. Sid Scale did his drunken ride in spite of the wet track. SHH-lal Prizes ;ivon. At the conclusion of the grand pa rade Bertha Itlancett and Robert litirke. the latter an Indian boy who rode In the bucking semi-finals, were summoned to the judges stand and given awards as the most typical cowgirl and cowboy in the parade, sixteen CJreat Kiclers. fJreate.st interest naturally center ed in the finals of the bucking con test. Sixteen great riders had been seletrtrd to ride In the semi-finals and the fact that only one was thrown is proof that the Judges knew what they were about In picking them. Thut one was Kd Mcfrllvray, who can ride with the best of them. Mcail vray took a gambler's chance and rode to win or loie. He knew that several other riders had an edge on him In the preliminaries and hn meant to overcome it If he could. His mount. Okanogan, almost laid down when he mounted. He threw his legs forward and stuck both spurs In the animal's neck. One foot caught in the halter rope and. in this position, Ok anogan made a jump that unsettled the rider. He went off one side, his foot catching In the stirrup. It looked like he was being dragged but he was still holding to the halter mpe. HI boot finally came off and he was shaken loose. Johnny Judd. winner of third In 1914. was first up and he gave the faithful bucker. Wiggles. a good scratching. Hill Baker of Cheyenne drew Jack Sundown and he too made the fur fly. Sundance got away from his wranglers but was picked up before he got far. Kd McCarty, who made a sensational ride on (uldef-ar in the preliminaries, mounted and rode straight up though he did little spurring. Paul (Mike) Hastings, bulldugger champ, gave a fine exhibition on Bearcat, raking him up behind. Dan Thompson stuck to Smythy and dug him. Bob Burke, the Indian boy who made such a great ride on Angel Fri day, stuck his rowels Into Ughtfoot's sides and made a fine ride. Since Sundown has retired, Burke Is prob ably as good a rider that his race has In the game. Leonard Stroude, who had put up a great ride on Casey Jones Thursday, was a match for Whistling Annie and undoubtedly got close to the finals. Old Bpeedball made Pete Wilson grab the horn. Fred Harding staid on top of Casey Jones, the little buckskin. Tex Smith rode Bango in good style though one Jump almost shook him loose. Paul Scroggins had no trouble staying and neither had John Mulr on Wadaloo- na. This horse did not buck up to form and Mulr was given a second. In the finals Hall rode first on An gel. The big bay that made cham pions of jom Minor and Jackson Hun- down, has uncovered a new trick of late, that of standing erect on hind legs and puwlng the air. It is such i trick that results In the always-feared fullover and Angel almost went back wards several times with Hall. The crippled veteran made a remarkable ride considering the fact that he had a very lame foot. White rode second on P. J. Nutt and scratched that hard plunger with his spurs. White, who was In the semi-finals last year. Is an extraordi nary rider, but ho had the luck to draw the Inferior horse of the three. After Canutt had scratched up Cul desac as he was never scratched be fore. It was pretty obvious who would be declared champion. Canutt had the advantage of having won three other contests on Culdesac. one at Walla Walla this year and at lar fleld and Dayton last year. Alfalfa, Timothy HAY Rolled Barley, Etc. QUICK DELIVERY.
