the wise men who have studied the insect say that It Is the female that does

merely a statement of cold scientific fact , In the picture the head Is highly

crammed full of interesting events, at
least will if 50 per cent of the numbers
tentatively closed up materialize.
The racing dogs which entertained
the Union Horse show crowds have fin

the Cove dogs and their drivers- will
do their racing on the pavement where
the. admiring throngs can see them.
This is conceded to be a splendid at
traction and W. Alllneon deems the
committee fortunate In securing it.

Mr. Alllnson has also closed a con
tract with a man who will come to La
Grande and guarantee to hit an Inch
door With such force with his bare
knuckles that he will break It. .
Grabbing the goose Is .still another
fun provoking feature Mr. Alllnson
has arranged. The goose will be sus
pended to a cross-street wire and
wild cowboys will make a dash for, it
and the one who gets away with the
goose gets the goose and a cash prize.
This is more thrilling than appears
