j' Union's fourteenth annual live sloe-:
show1' fro t going for its '1922 perform
ances' yesterday afternoon in fitting
style. Up to the lust few days there
h&d been some-'misgivings about the
number of show stock; animals that
might be exhibited, but fears were (fis
pellrd when the records showed the
jjreatest "array of all kinds of live
sfueks (hat has yet featured this an
nual ' classic, -
. Yesterday afternoon's performance
was marked with many features in
the arena .and on the track. Some
apecjtaculair feutures of years past
were not shown, but the quality of the
dock ancj the number of exhibits, ex
cell all past records.
Already, favorites have been pick
ed among the performers. Lorina
Trickey, world's champion, all-around
cowgirl, has dignified the show with
aer presence. She is in her way to
New York -whore, at, the tVfcAlpin
hotel, she will receive the crown re
cently accorded the queen of the
world's cowgirls. Lorina was matched,
against the popular Mabel Strickland
Pendleton's Kound-Up last year.
Another woman performer that is a
Injar On, a horse is Mabel Baze, of Cald
well. She has a particular gift of
putting horses over the course ahead
of her competitors. To get back to
Lorinai however, that clever little
Miss from Gilliam county, or there
abouts, is as pretty and dainty as she
i. clever. Her exhibitions of trick
riding are marvels. -'
The racing numbers were good,
with IRy Peebler and the Daze gir!
starring nt this game. J'he buckaroo
contests were fairly good, more es
pecially after Tom Johnson had "rasp
berried" Harry Weir for pulling the
trappings off his mount.
Dr. little of Cove charmed tin
crowd when he drove on the track with
a splendidly groomed span of bind-,
roadsters. It was one of the hits of
the day.
The competition in the saddle horse
events, three or five gal tod, was not
so keen yesterday. Dr. Keagale of
Baker, on Nicklc Plate, won the rib
bon of first, while second place went
to Joan of Arc, Juanita Wright up
and third to Mod Cloud, (Jus Uvy up
- Levy's long experience in the gam1,
and his sit and general carriage h
that of the expert, but Red Cloud wis
bit obstreperous. Pick Ilibbard and
Gerald Peterson were other entries in
that event, which lacked the excep
tional features of previous years.,
Lorina Trickey and the Baze girl
pre having an interesting time of it
in the girls' relay. Lorina got away
on the McPherson string with mar
Jniis chances and set a good handi
cap for today, but the grit and dash
oljthe Baze girl, on t"he Cantrcll hois
es4 are such as to make a rai e of this
until the finish. The men's relay was
featured bv Jack Paul, on the Rncsch
string, leading Charlie Reed with the

"Church vacation schools ait? the
3 real est evangelistic agency among
children, of any religious move
ment," stated Dr. 0. II. Young, of
Portland, nt the meeting uf the
Granrio Rondo Association of the
Baptist church yoUorday nlternooi..
"If we don't take up thin plan,.'
hp continued, "we' will iorer gest
our children to Jesus Christ!"
Dr. Young's address, "Is Modern
Education a Sucoeaa or Failure,"
dealt vnalnly with the 'Church1 ra
ention school plan th'-it U . being
taken up by an ever increasing num
ber of churches in the United
States and foreign countries. In
China. Itairtist mlssronarles are
usinc this method and are reporting
a lurger degree of success than by
the older methods. , , ,
In describing the school. Dr.
Young suited that as fiir as he
iitiui hl-iuh u.iwrienre-, in , tor
church vacation schools the students
the studeula went to their tcach-
en "10 conclusion. 01 tn.
tor and requested thejn to continue
Ilia work. Thoae casus wore nut
isolated cases Ibut han-pe nod many
limes.
The program that the creator
number of schools are adopting Is
as follows: From 9:01) lo 9::1U
o clock tho time is devoted to sa
lutes and sinKinp: and from 9:30
o'clock until 10:30 the children are
taiiKlit about Ihe Bible not by thu
- lah. instead of maklnir them study
bally tile various stories ill the
IMble "Stories that are unmatched
by any of our Kreat authors," as
Dr. Young stated.
.After a recess the children furth
er delve into tho New and Old Tes
tament aivd dramatize the stories
thus incarnating them Indelibly up
on tln-Ir minds. Then at tin) usual
morning talk, the children are dis
missed for the day. An hour of the
morning is devoted to manual train
ing and to practical domestic art.
, Or. Young urged Hie nmptisis of
I. a Grande and other cities included
in the conference to adopt this
tin- moveu'ent was the slowness of
lllJ cliurch mnmbors in some sec-
tlons to adopt such a (Plan.
Dr. Young's talk was one of the
most luicre'sdng of the conference
and brought one of the most prac
tical and inspirational messages to
the conference.

close of the devotional services, In

At the meeting ot tho elty com
mission last evening Uoscuo Neal,
formerly city engineer nnd at pres
ent In the contracting ibusiiinss, who
is now making the only street Im
provements under contract In tho
elty at this time, declared that lu
his opinion the bond market is
much Improved and thai many of tire
improvement dlslrlcta (asked for by
property owners could bo Improved
now. He referred t o districts
that wnnt macadam or gravel road
ways and concrete sidewalks and
not to thoso that ask for hard surface-
paving.
Mr. Noul's contention was that
the charter amendment necessary to
mako many of the Improvement
district bonds salable, especially if
one huge district is cncailed, could
not be voted on until August 14,
that being the earliest day on which
an election can bo called, no action
h'.tTin; beau taken last night on
the eUVllon, and thnt It will he
from 60 to 70 'days after that' bo
fore work coidd he atarted', wlilcb
would make It Impractical to try
to do anything this' year. On . the
othe'r hand, he polnte'd out-, milch

a slmll ir manner to that enuployed
on the conlraet he now has, two
property owners Id the district hav
ing agreed to take thd bonds with
which he Is being paid for the work.
His suggestion was offered to the
commission In an leffort to solve the
problem of satisfying the demand
for Street Improvements tlint Is
greater tills year, than ovor In the
city's history.
The committee of rltlKens who re
ported oil the attitude of the people
In roifirds lo tho special election
declared that 161 people approached
word honrllly in favor of calling un -
other spedul election for the pur-!
pose of lattemptlug to amend the I
,.l,rier so that th.. dtv would be i
charier so that the city would be
back of the bonds of Improvement
districts, whllo only four wero :i
any way unfavorable. A. W. Nel
son, chairman of the committee, de
clared that 15 of the 31 Wllllon
were Included In tho report and
that ho liollo'ved that the others
would also bo in favor of the elec
tion. Ho also called u 1 1 en I ion to
the fact that business men In gen
ei'.il who would bo very favorablu
to the matter were not sought 'out
but an effort mndo lo get the rank
and fllo of properly owners.
The commission declared that it
wanted assurance that if a speeiti)
election Is called thu probability
will be more favorable towards I he
amendment passing than the two
attempts In thu past yuar which
falbvl. Commissioners Stoddard and
Williams both decided that In view
of thio absimee of Commissioner
Graudy and that only Ir.ilf of the
petitions sent out by the citizens'
committee had liiieu turned lu It
would be advisable to wait iiutii
next week before taking action on
the special election, which would
cost the city in the .neighborhood of
11,000 whdther tho charter change
sought Is achieved therohy or not.

War here Thursday, June 15. The
-.ollcction of motion pictures that will
lie shown is called "Powder Kivor,"
anil were taken by photographers ol'
the U. S. signal corps.
Corey G. Cook, who served III
months overseas as a motion picture
photographer for the Signal Corp,
and who personally took many of th.;
pictures that will bo shown lore, ac
companies tho picture, lie kept his
camera going on the front of the I'lrst
Division during nil of the major en
gagements in which it participated.
He was twice wounded and was one
of the few of his photographic soclion
to escape with his life.
The films sliow soldiers of -western
divi.sionsin action and takes its name
from the battle cry of these troops,
"Powder River."
Every foot of film taken in this
thrilling tragedy-drama of the groat
war was taken by the signal corps of
tho United States Brmy. During the
taking of some of the scenes 11 pho
tographers were killed by German
fire.
The scenes nro actual fighting on
the front in which troops of the illst
811th, H2, 2nd and first divisions took
part.
Perhaps one of the most spectacu
lar features of the picture is the scene
where German artillery find rnn,'e on
American artillery which although un
der a death dealing fall of shell.-.,
fights valiently onward to victory. An
other terrible realistic part of the pic
