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. Kenworthy of Dayton,
Wash.
The latter Kenworthy ia a big
stockman of Columbia county Wash
ington and the owner of a stable of
thoroughbred horses and kennel of
registered hounds. 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.

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.

struction companies in New Enlgand,

credit the Lawrence strikers. The
summons followed the testimony be
fore the grand jury against John
Breen, who was convicted and fined
for planting the dynamite.

Vancouver, B. C. "Owing to the
shocking state of affairs in this city,
one oi my patients is dying from
spinal meningitis, contracted from
impure milk," saifl Dr. A. A. Wilson.
ADout rour days ago, Miss Stainsforth
partook of some fresh milk purchased
at the regular family dairy, and soon
after consumption of the milk, symp
toms of poison were apparent, and Dr.
Wilson was called to attend the girl.
He diagnosed the case to be spinal
meningitis, and attributed it to the
milk containing poisonous germs.

CHAMBERLAIN YIELDS POINT
Senator Unable tJ Force Psymart of
Oregon's War Claim.
Washington, V. C Oregon war
claim against the government will go
unpaid another year, because Senator
Chamberlain became convinced he did
not, as he supposed, control the legis
lative situation in congress. He
found it was within his power to hold
congress in session indefinitely, but so
stubborn was the house in 'opposing
his amendment that nothing could
have been gained by so doing, so he
announced he would no longer insist
upon adoption of the amendment ap
propriating $193,000 to pay tha state
claim. Senator Chambernain gave
notice ha would renew bis fight next
session.
Pilot's Report Made Public.

not collected and that the board has
no method of ascertaining what
amounts were collected. The reports
state that the pilot service throughout
the year has been efficient and that
the pilots as a whole are a temperate
and industrious clars.

25-mile logging railroad for tha Silver
Falls Logging company, from a con

followed immediately by the establish
ment of an immense logging camp in

One Salmon Theory Dispelled.
Astoria Deputy Fish Warden Gor
has returned from a visit to the vari
ous streams along the Oregon coast,
where he has been investigating mat
ters in connection with the fisheries.
He says the catch in those streams is
very light thus far. At the Fisher
men a Uo-operative cannery on the
Umpqua river he saw a 49-pound sal
mon that was marked when released
from the government hatchery on the
Clackamas river in 1904, so the fish
was thus eight years of ago. This
find dispels the theory that salmon
always return to tha stream in which
they were batched.

"CHICAGO NOT AMERICA"

INTO REVIVAL
Scientists Seok Rest Peop'e In Rural
Regions. Not In Cities.
Chicago "Chicago is not represen
tative of the United States. It is big
and it is wonderful, but it is no more
American than is New York. When
wo get outside of the big cities we
hope to see something of the real
American people."
In this manner Dr. Alfred Ruhl,
chief of the division of oceano,raphic
institute of llerl'n, summarized the
prevailing opinion of most of the 41
foreign geographers, editors and pro
fessors of geography of leading Euro
pean universities, who arrived in Chi

The visitors left over the Chicago &
Northwestern railvay for Madison.
