NOVELTY FOR ROUND-UP. Pendleton Show Will Stage Genuine Rabbit Drive, Pendleton, Ore. Seldom is it given to an audience of twenty thousand people to witness a coyote, woli or rabbit chase but that is just what has been provided as ona of the features of the Round-Up which is to be beld in Pendleton this year on September 26, 27 and 28. Real thoroughbred fox hounds trained to the hunt are to be seen and heard close in pursuit of si nking coyotes, stealthy timber wo! vea or sprightly jackrabbita by reason of a contract which haa just been en tered into by local the association and Leon B. and J.

The sage brush about his ranch is alive with jack rabbits and coyotes, while an occas ional wolf steals down from the tim ber. He proposes to capture several of these animals, bring them to Pen dleton at the time of the Round-Up turn them loose in the park during the performances, put bis hounds on the trail and let the spectators see a little excitement such as they read about. However, lest any humanitarian shud der at the thoughts of such cruelty, the Round Up directors have announc ed that they have specified in their contract that both dogs and their quarry shall be muzzled in order that neither shall be damaged when the pureurers overtake the pursued. Riders will also follow close on the trail of the hounds in order to rescue rather than kill the victims of the chase. Round-Up park is a large en closure and tightly fenced so that the chase will not pass from view of 'the audience. The novelty of such a feat ure is expected to make it one of the most popular of the three-day succes sion of thrills. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESS OF OUR HOME STATE O. A. O. AT STATE FAIR.

Aviator Refuses to Fly In $16,000 Racing Craft. Chicago There may be no Ameri can defender of the Gordon Bennett world's champion aeroplane trophy, in spite of the expenditure of $15,000 by a Chicago syndicate for a racing aero plane designed to travel 125 miles an hour. DeLloyd Thompson, who had been trained as pilot of the Aero club of America's monoplane, Nieuport, has refused to fly the racer on the ground that it was "obviously unsafe, ill designed and unable to fly for a single mile as it stands." This situation arose after aeronaut ical engineers, at Thompson's sugges tion, reported unfavorably to bim on the soundness of the craft. With Thompson's refusal it became known that Glenn H. Martin, the Pa cific Coast aviator, had volunteered to "see what be could do" toward get- J ting the racer in shape for use. Suicides to Evade Summons. Andover, Mass. Ernest Pittman, head of the W.
