v good account of himself in the world's championship roping
..nhtest, when the big Texas steers are roped at the Frisco exposi
tion. Buff made a special trip from Pendleton to get Ribbon and
take him home, paying the price that such animals are worth.
Hull' has ridden on the range with the Howard boys and knows
them in ramp and on the trail, knows the kind of stock they ride and
how their horses are trained, knows them by the back, like the gam
bler knows the deck.
While at Westfall, Buff dreamed that Jim Howard had died, and
that the sky pilot who preached the funeral had said that Jim was
in heaven. The next morning Buff wrote a poem on Jim's death,
and tnis is now it ran:
That's his saddle on the tie-beam,
ThenVhjs spurs up there
On the waifc. ,ate over yonder
You'll see they aint a pair.
But the daddy of all Cowboys
That ever came right in here
Was killed on the Westfall Butte,
Hulldogging a Texas steer.
They say he's gone to heaven
And thrown off his worldly cares,
But I can't sight Jim in heaven,
Set up on three blinded hairs.
In heaven what next, I wonder?
for strike me pink and blue
If I savvy what in thunder
They'll find that Jim can do.
He'd never make one of them angels,
With faces as white as chalk,
All wool to the toes like hoggets
And wings like an eagle hawk.
He couldn't harp for apples,
Tor his voice had tones that jarred
Had no more ear for music
Than culves in a branding yard.
But he'd set on a bucking broncho
Like a nob on an easy chair,
And ride old Ribbon with a green hide rope
To the flank of a Texas steer.
He could show them saints in glory
The way a rope should drop,
But set on a throne? not Jimmy
Unless they'd put in a prop.
If them heavenly horses gets boxed,
Like cattle will round the rim,
Who'd cut 'em out like Jimmy,
Or ride on a camp like Jim ?
A cowboy would find it awkward at first,
To ride with a push that flew,
But hang my cats if I know what else
They'd find for Jim to do.
He might freeze to a seraph
Or chum with the cherubim
But if ever them seraph Johnnits
Co poking fun at him,
If there is a rope in heaven
And hide to make a quirt,
He'll yard the lot in Westfall lake
In a blinding lightning squirt.
It's hard if there aint no racehorse,
But perhaps they might let. him sleep
And wake him up on judgment day
To part the goats and sheep.
It would be playing low with Jimmy,
But perhaps he would buckle to
Just to show them heavenly stockmen
What a We.itfall man can do.
If they'll fit him out with a snaffle
And a four or five inch spur,
And eighty foot of green hide,
He'll rope the blinded fur.
If thev'II saddle a big-bone nnirel
(With a turn of speed, of .ourse)
1 hat can squeal like a four year old broncho
And slide like an old cow horse,
Hell part them blamed angoras
,.,-. In a. way thnt il's safe to swear
Will make them tony ranahnmU
Set back on their marrow and stare.

Summar of Chief Events o
The War Paragraphed for
The Enterprise.
PORTLAND, Ore., Apr. 16 (Spec
al to the Enterprise.) Reports say on
April 1 812,808 prisoners of war were
being held In Germany.
Germany will pay for the sinking of
the American ship William P. Frye
by the converted cruiser Prlnz Eltel
I Frledrlch.
Destruction of the German subma
rine U-29 by the British Is accepted
by the Berlin war officials as explana
tion for the failure of the vessel to re
turn from her last cruise.
An authoritative denial has been re
celved from The Hague of the report
In circulation ia London that the re
latlons between Holland and Germany
had reached the breaking point
The French offensive In the Woevre
which according to official reports
continues to make progress, although
the Germans reiterate that all the
French attacks have been repulsed, Is
believed to be only the prelude to
big general effort in the west.
Berlin reports the capture of three
villages on the Yser canal and the
failure of French attacks In the Ar
gonne, but the French say they have
captured a section of a German trench
In that region. The French admit the
loss of some trenches previously cap
tured from the Germans In the Mont-
mare wood.
Les Eparges, occupied by the French
after a series of desperate enEaee
ments costing countless lives, has
again come under the fire of the Ger
man guns. It is here that General
Joffre, the French commander, is
bringing his strength to bear on the
German wedge to force it out of the
allies' side, so that the allied line that
stretches In front of the great German
fortress of Metz may be straightened.
In the cast, although the Russians
have occupied the principal positions
in the western sections of the Carpa
thians, there Is one height, known as
height 992, which they have not been
able to master. Nevertheless they are
reported to be moving down the west
ern slope and in a fair way to make
an advance Into Hungary.

Washington. Count von Bernstorff,
the German ambassador, made public
the text of the note he recently pre
sented to the state department, declar
ing that " if the American DeoDle da.
sire to observe thorough neutrality
they will find means to stop the ex
clusive exportation of arms to one
side, or. at least, to use this export
trade as a means to uphold the legiti
mate trade with Germany, especially
the trade In foodstuffs."
The ambassador, In his complaint,
Informs the United States that, con
trary to th real spirit of neutrality.
an enormous new Industry of war ma
terial of every kind la being built up
in this country, and that this Is "sup
plying only Germany's enemies, a fact
which Is in no way modified by the
purely theoretical willingness to fur
nish Germany as well, if it were possi
ble." In replying to Germany this govern
ment will maintain that such action
Is within its rights. The posltloa will
ho taken, that, inasmuch as the allied
fleets have mastered the seas, an em
bargo upon the exportation of arms
would be in the Interest of Germany
and that Great Britain. France and
UusHia would consider such an act unneutral.
t,ondon. The real battle, on the out-
ome of which depends the success of
Russia's campaign for the invasion of
Hungary, has begun on the southern
dopes of the principal chain of the
Carpathians, down which the Czar's
seemingly endless columns have start
ed, following their capture of the last
heights after several weeks of the
most terrific fighting sf the European
war.
Even more vicious than the stub
born battle that waged for the control
-f the Carpathians is the beginning of
the new phase of the conflict on the
southern slopes, as it Is here that the
Austro Germans must stop the Rus
sians or be thrown back, when Hun
gary will be at the mercy of the In
vaders, according to military observ
ers.
It Is believed the defenders have
thrown every available man into the
battle, as heavy relnforcemeuts re- I
cently have been brought up In an ef
fort to check the Russian advance.
The latter, on the other hand, too,
have filled their depleted first ranks
wun numberless troops from
ently an Inexhaustible reserve.
Recent losses on each side have
been appalling and prospects are that
the enormity will increase with the
growing fury of the conflict on the
southern side of the mountains.
The Austro-Germans have made a
terrible counter attack. The Russians
swept them aside, according to the of
ficial Petrograd report.
