The 101 Ranch Real Wild West
Show is to be here -June 7 and with
it will be the greatest congress of In
dians, cowgirls, cowboys, and western
people generally ever assembled.
There is positively not the first tWng
about this show that is not typically
western. When this gigantic aggre
gation entered the amusement field
there were many so called western
shows and for the purpose of disting
uishing the real from the counterfeit
the word "real" was incorporated in
the title. The little word has fulfill
ed its mission and while comparisons
are odious the many millions of pat
rons of the show have learned its ful
lest meaning and sanctioned its use.

The Storthing.
Norway's legislatire hotly is knowu
as the storthing, which means the
"great court" aud should be pro
nounced to rime with "courting." The
second part of the word is identical
with the English word "thing." as the
Scandinavian languages, in common
with Anglo-Saxon, have rhe same word
for "thing" and "council." In modern
English a trace of the second sense
survives in the word "hustings."
which came to mean the public plat
form upon which u candidate appeared
at election time', though originally-the
"busting" was the council at which the
candidate was ' elected. the "house
thing" or house council.
How Icelanders Tie Horses.
The Icelanders have a strange but
effective plan for preventing horses
straying away from any particular
spot, if two gentlemen happen to be
riding without attendants and wish to
leave their horses for any reason they
tie the head of one horse to the tail of
the former In this state it is utterly
impossible for the horses to move ou.
either backward ,or forward If dis
posed to move at nil It will tie only in
a circle, and even then there must be
mutual agreement to turn their heads
the same way.
The Very Good Man.
Towne I don't' see why Goodley
should be so unpopular with all of you.
He never speaks ill of any one. Browne
No. but he's one of those aggravating
fellows who can say. "Ob. yes, Jones
looked very happy when I saw him
last," and say it In such a way as to
give the Impression that Jones was
horribly drunk. Catholic Standard and
Times.
It is without fear of contradiction the
only bona fide wild west show that
has ever been conceived. Coming as
it does right from the big 101 Ranch
at Bliss, Oklahoma, and only western
characters to give the meritorious
performance it could not well be oth
erwise. It is not the' show that runs
to long hair, Indian yells and pistol
shots to be considered as a western
show for it depictions are other than
exclusive blood and thunder scenes.
The extended program Is made un of
historical events and "western scenes
that carry with them educational val
ue as well as entertaining purposes.
Scenes that all who have lived in the
far west will recognize and those who

BOY SLAYER OF GIRL
IS WILLING TO DIE
SAN FRANCISCO, June 5. "I am
glad the 'newspapers have listened to
my story and repeated it as I have
told it. It "is hard to explain the at
tachment between Bernice and my
self; it was something that was made
for another world. It will be contin
ued when we meet again. She has
gone to Wilfred, my baby brother.
He will tell her why I did it. Now
1 know she will be waiting for me,
and the sooner the law takes its
course the better I will be suited."
This statement was made today by
Charles H. Bonner, the 19-year-old boy
who shot and killed Miss; Bernice Go
dair, 17-year-old high school girl to
whom ho had been paying attention,
on the threshhold of her home be
cause Bhe refused to"go out" with
him.
Bonner declares he suffered great
ly during -tbe night, seeing visions of
the dead girl with her bloodstained
dress lying on the steps of her home.
He eagerly read all newspaper ac
counts of the crime.
Mrs. Godair, the mother of Bernice
and Mr Bonner, widowed mother of
the slayer, both of whom were pros
trated by the tragedy, are slowly re
covering today. The two families oc
cupy apartments in the same build
ing, from which the funeral services
of Miss Godair will be conducted to
morrow afternoon.
Founded on Herring Bones.
Dutch-monopoly of the North sea
fishing grounds during the seventeenth
century brought such wealth and pros
perity of Amsterdam that tbe capital
of Holland was popularly said to be
founded on herring bones. No fewer
than 60,000 Hollanders were directly
engaged in fishing tbe coasts from
near Yarmouth to as far north as the
Shetland, and 150.000 more were em
ployed indirectly in the distribution
and sale of the fish. Sir Walter Raleigh
pointed out to James 1. bow tbe Dutch
sold to the Yarmouth herring mongers
fish caught in their own seas for Eng
lish gold, with which they built annual
ly a thousand ships and fishing boats.
HOP MARKET FIRM
FOR ALL OFFERINGS
There is a very firm tone in the hop
market. Both contracts and spotsJ
are anectea ana on every hand
strength is shown.
With only about 1250 hales of old
crop remaining in Oregon and practi
cally none in California, the trade is
freely bidding 6838Jc a pound for
19118 but hollers of the limited sup
plies are asking 40c and even better.
Contracts are being freely bid for
at 25c a pound but growers are show
ing less disposition to accept than
they were a few days ago. Notwith
standing the most excellent crop pros
pects, there is evidence on all sides
that brewers are anxious to contract.
Attempts of the bear forces to beat
down contracts by taking hold of a
lot of poor growth here and there, be
low the established quotation, have
failed and the market is stronger
than it has been for some time.
Growth of hop vines in Oregon is
the best ever known but there is dan
ger ot a top crop owing to the very
heavy foliage. In all sections the
vines have already reached the top
of the poles and are running down to
the ground again. The arms are the
longest ever known.
