THE MORXIXO .OREGoVfAX, SATTTIiDAY", OCTOBER 3. 1914. 17 RODEO'S LAST DAY FULL OF THRILLS Crowds Swarm Track Despite Downpour and Sherman Autos Brave Bad Roads. EXHIBITS TELL RESOURCES Muddy Course Prevents Motor Speed Conte&ts, but Mack " Gaunt, . on Tango, Amuses Throngs by His Skill in Thwarting Horse.' BT ADDISON BENNETT. THE DALLES. Or., Oct. 2. (Special.) It takes something more than weather to dampen the ardor or dull the enthu siasm of these Dalles people. It rained as if the bottom had dropped out of old Jupe's water tank all the forenoon, yet there was a large crowd out to see the final bouts in the Rodeo and Wasco County Fair. When I say large I mean to infer that every seat in the three stands was occupied and many hundreds stood around the fences, where they awaited the last event on into caru. Autos Help Swell Crowds. In throwing bouquets at the people of Wasco County let me not forget that - to the people of the neighboring county of Sherman lies a. large share of the credit. The people of Klondike. Kent, Grass Valley, Monkland, Moro, Wasco and Rufus, in that county, had made great efforts to come down to The Dalles with a record crowd. So they had 125 autos signed up to make the trip and join in the procession headed by Pond's band,' of Wasco. Wasco town is in Sherman County. When It came to a start during the morning's flood 60 of these turned up missing, but 75 came through In spite of rain and mud. Let it be noted that a week from to day Sherman County will hold its fair at Moro, the county seat, and if The Dalles people do not swarm there In droves on that occasion I will forswear my allegiance to The Dalles and her people. Nor can I quit the subject without saying that in the county of Sherman the wheat crop in this year of our Lord 1914 will equal $400 for every man, woman and child in that county. Can you beat it? Rodeo but Minor Fair Feature. Certainly the people of this city have now put on three as good shows of the kind as any city has, everything considered. But remember, the Rodeo, meaning the so-called Wild West stunts, is but a minor part of the annual fair at The Dalles. The broncho busters, the wild steer riders, the ropers and bulldoggers are here today and gone tomorrow. Their work is ephemeral, transitory. But go through the booths and see the agricultural exhibits. There you see the greatness of Wasco County. There is no place in the world where they grow finer cherries than right here close to The Dalles. And within three years from now they will annually pro duce enough Royal Annes to put one in each cocktail made in the United States. But not alone here cherries why you ought to get the Wasco County statistics on prunes, a hundred carloads a year, and on her peaches and vegetables. The track this afternoon was not simply damp, it was a quagmire. Yet in Bpite of that there was splenidd sport. Take the bucking contest. There were nine riders and surely all rode. If the matter had been left to the audi ence to decide I guess there would have been anyhow nine first prizes awarded. Alack (.an nt Wins on Tango. But it is safe to say the judges did right in giving the first prize to Mack Gaunt, who rode Tango, a horse that not only tangoed but ragged and sun fished. R. S. Hall got second and John McCoy third. The races were slow and the riders came home covered over with mud, but they came home in good time. The automobile race and the motor cycle race were declared off. No one dared to try to make good time, let alone fast time, on such a track. But the drivers were ready to start. How ever, the judges knew it would per haps mean the loss of life to try it. Did I forget the weather of the afternoon? It was fine, clear, warm and pleasant in every way overhead. Nothing but the mud interfered with the sports. But the rain of the fore noon kept at least 1000 persons away from the grounds. About 250 left on the 11:30 train going east. WIFE ALLEGES NEGLECT 8AMIKL E. KRAMER ACC'fSED OF FAILING TO PROVIDE. Lixzie Javits Complains Husband Did Not Visit Her In Hospital and Other Spouses Have Troubles. Charging neglect, extending over a period of several years, Etta E. Kra mer yesterday filed a motion in the Circuit Court asking that Samuel E. Kramer, lately proprietor of a Port land riding academy, be required to provide means for her to defend the divorce suit lately brought against her. It is stated she is without means and that she and their two children have been objects of charity in New York, where they live. It is- set forth that the two were married iu New York City and came to Portland some years ago. After a snort residence here .Mrs. Kramer and her children retuned East to visit her family. Whenever she would suggest that she return to her huBband at Portland, she says, he would discour age her and he is said to have written her once that If she came to Portland he would fly away to the distant parts of the world to escape hr. During tne past eight months Mr. Kramer is said to have contributed $180 to the support of the family. That Isaac Javltz did not visit bis wife, Lizzie, while she was in the hos pital between April and August of this year, is the charge made in the latter's divorce suit, just filed. Although she says she underwent 'three serious op erations, he neither called on her nor wrote a letter.. Pauline Fritter charges her husband. William, with having kicked her out of bed and she was compelled to sleep in a cold room without bed covers, she says, in her divorce complaint, filed yesterday. She asks to resume her maiden name of Rode. Dorothy Test sued Edwin T. Test on grounds of cruel and inhuman treat ment, alleging she was in fear of her husband because of his threats.. He is charged with having struck ' her. Judge Cleeton granted a divorce to Elteabeth Winser from William H. Winser, the latter being charged with a violent temper and that he refused to let her visit her relatives or friends. It is alleged he beat and threatened her. Judge Kavanaugh gave a divorce to Carrie E. Hurlburt from Harlan F. Hurlburt. desertion and failure to pro vide a home being alleged. CUTTER WANTED IN RIVER Shipping Men Call Attention to Need of Marine Safeguard. . If mariners have their way official Washington will be asked to again de tail a revenue cutter to stand guard inside the Columbia River during the coming Winter to be available in the event of wrecks and other accidents at sea, the loss of the steamer Francis H- Leggett last month and reports that some of the passengers and crew must have lived for hours afterward, having directed attention to the demand for an emergency vessel in such cases. Cutters are held on Puget Sound usually and the Columbia River has been favored at times, but shipping men insist that such a vessel snould be stationed in these waters from Fall until Spring, so she could be dispatched immediately along the Coast on the re ceipt of "S. O., S." calls. A cutter on Puget Sound is too far away to lend assistance at the mouth of the Colum bia or south of there, sae in cases where ships might be drifting because of the' loss of. steering gear or pro peller. - , WINTER. SCIIEDUIE -CXN TODAY .Bear Leaves for California Ports at 3 o'Clock With Full Load. More flour for Central America ports goes out aboard the steamer Bear, ofthe "Big Three" line, which sails at 3 o'clock this afternoon from Ainsworth dock on the first voyage under the Winter schedule. This year the company will send its vessels away at 8 instead of 4 o'clock so as to reach Astoria earlier to load the last of their cargo. Besides flour, the Bear, carries 800 tons of wheat, considerable paper and a collection of general merchandise that gives her a full load. There is less demand for passenger accommoda tions, as the vacation season is ended and the tourist movevment has not reached its greatest volume. In that connection waterfront men are await ing the announcement of plans for handling the 1915 fair travel early next year, a? It is felt certain other lines will increase their facilities in competition with the new Hill steam ers ' Great Northern and Northern Pacific. TWO VESSELS WILL BE BUILT Government Asks Bids on Dredge and Tender for Use on Kivers. Specifications are out for the new dredge Monticello. which will be equipped with a ten-inch suction as well as a "clamshell" bucket with a capacity of H4 yards, and bids are to be opened November & at the office of Colonel McKinstry, Corps of Engineers, U. a. A. The vessel is to have a wooden hull and be 100 feet long, with a beam of 30 feet. Plans are also being completed for a stern-wheel steamer that is to act as tender for the Monticello, which will be 100 feet long and have a beam of 20 feet. About two years ago the rivers and harbors bill carried an appropria tion of $55,000 for the two vessels, so there are funds available for their im mediate construction. They are in tended for service on the tributaries of th'e Lower Columbia River, so will be used mostly in the Cowlitz, Lewis and Clatskanie Rivers. Marconi Wireless Reports.

Charged with being a commission merchant in violation of the ordinance regulating the Yamhill-street free market, which says that no one may sell there who is not actually a grower or producer selling his own goods, D. M. Bruzzone will answer to the alle gations of Deputy City Attorney Stad ter Monday morning before Municipal Judge Stevenson.

The present maximum for this violation is a fine of $50 and five days' imprisonment. Police Fund Collectors Impostors.

SOME WEAKNESS APPEARS Reason to Believe That Prices Later May- Be Heavier Wheat Not Xow on War Basis Next Year's Prospects. The nast few days has seen bo me what of a lull Jn wheat trading. The Chicago and Liverpool markets have been receding ana bullish enthusiasm is looking at this end. The demand from California is slower, the mills are Inactive and export trade is tem- oorarilv checked. With the local dock lull and shipments by no means free, grain deal ers here are not disposed to add to tneir holdings. Farmers are not pressing sales. but tt is said enough wheat could be bought in the country If there were any reason to buy. Some of the speculators have taken to the selling side, and this has a tendency to . weaken the market. At the Merchants Exchange session, how ever, there was no change in the situation except in the matter of milling wheat The highest price bid for bluestem was $1.01. and this was later withdrawn. The best offer on forty-fold was half a cent lower than Thursday. For club, the previous day's price ' was offered, while red fife buyer were willing to pay a cent advance. The coarse grain and mill feed markets were quiet and featureless. Almost without exception grain men be lieve that high wheat prices will prevail throughout this season, and that the pres ent lull In all the markets is only temporary. It Is believed that before long the upward movement at Chicago and Liverpool will be resumed, and In some quarters It Is pre dicted that much higher values will be recorded. It Is pointed out that wheat In America is not now really on a high basis, as it has sold at current levels several times within the past four or five years. In fact. It ic argued, that without the war present prices might have been attained, America nas turned cut an enormous wheat crop, yt Broomh&ll has figured a shortage in the world's wheat supply this year of 428,000,000 bushels which, in itself, should have been sufficient to have lifted prices to their pres ent plane. Added to this is the war effect, and it ts conceded that the longer the war lasts, the worse will the foodstuff situation be come. Next year's crops are likewise ex pected to be light. In the countries at war, the old men, women and children have done the harvesting, but they cannot plow and sow another crop, for the reason that they have no horses to work with. Conditions affecting the present situation are. of course, without precedent, and the experience of the Franco-Prussian war U the nearest guide that Is to be had in the present circumstances. I n 1871, while the war was - In progress, wheat - advanced to $1.32 a bushel, a price which has already been approximated in this war. It was in 1S73, however, after the- war was over, that wheat reached $1.61, its highest point. Then only two countries were engaged, and the war lasted but seven months, thvarmies engaged were reckoned by thousands while they are now counted by millions. Local receipts.

A cable received from London yesterday said: "Demand is improving; market steadily firm." 'Locally there was no improvement In the situation. It was reported that a Salem dealer paid 12 cents, but the particulars were lacking. A large block of 390 bales of choice Independence hops was so.'d by a grower-dealer at 12 cents. Rumors of business done around the 10-cent mark could not be vert lied. It was said that growers in some sec tions were very anxiou to sell, but an In dependence grower stated that In his dis trict the farmers were ot disposed to ac cept prevailing prices. The California market has been quiet for the past fortnight and holders are now so liciting offers. -jji.... FIRST GBAPEFRUIT? X FLORIDA Initial Car of Season TVUI Be on Sale This Morning. The first car of Florida grapefruit of the season arrived yesterday, but too late for distribution. It will be put on sale this morning at $5&5.50 per box. Grape receipts were small and there was a good clean-up of stocks on hand at un changed prices. The season for Bartlett pears has practi cally wound up. Fall pears are coming in more freely and .are selling at SI & 1.25 a box. The demand for apples was only fair. A few small shipments of late peaches came in and they moved slowly. Ripe bananas were scarce on the street. Vegetables of all kinds were steady. A car of California tomatoes arrived and they were quoted at $1 in lugs and 50 cents in boxes. ' FOVXTKY IS SELLING IN BETTER WAV Lighter Receipts Lead to Improvement la Price. There was a brisk demand for poultry yesterday, particularly hens, which were scarce and sold readily at 14 cents. Enough Springs were on hand and they sold at for mer prices. 1 Dressed meat receipts were also light, but there was no Improvement in prices, as the demand was backward for both pork and veal. Egg price held steady, with a good de mand for both fresh and storage- There was a normal movement In butter and cheese at old prices. Bank Clearings.

BOND DEMAND BROADER Further Reduction in New York Banks' Reserve DeHelt Ts Indi cated by Increase In Cash During ' Week. NEW YORK. Oct. 2. Purchases of bills on London by the $100,000,000- gold pool and demand from Independent sources brought about another decline in foreign exchange today, cables falling to- $4.96 and sight drafts to $4.95 V. Trading in these remit tances was again fairly extensive as the re sult of the week's heavy grain and cotton exports. Grain shipments were some -. 600.000 bush els larger than In the preceding week and about 3.200,000 bushels In excess of the same week In 1913. The Inquiry for bonds, particularly those maturing within the next few year, was somewhat broader at concessions which placed most of them on a 6 per cent basis. There were wide estimates regarding the weekly movement of cash, forecast indicat ing a gain by local Institutions of from $15,000,000 to $26,000,000. Further contrac tion of loans is expected, with a concurrent reduction of the deficit in cash reserves. Time money Ls gradually coming back Into the market and the middle of the month Is likely to show an easier tendency. This same condition will doubtless apply to com mercial paper and other financial documents. Announcement by a subsidiary of tho United States Steel Corporation of Its in tention to cancel the existing wage agree ment at the beginning of the coming year revived rumors of a general reduction In this and allied Industries. Bank clearings continue to record pro nounced contraction, the total at leading cities of the country showing a decrease of over 32 per cent compared with the same week last year. The only exception to this condition is in the Middle West, where the bnormal activity in grain has resulted in an increase of exchanges. STEADY GROWTH OF COXFIDKKCE Active Export Movement of Grain Is Favor able Factor. NEW YORK, Oct. 2. Dun's review to morrow will say: The abnormal business conditions created by war continue and caution and retrench ment still halt enterprise, yet there la a significant growth of confidence. Several factors contribute to this situation. Un doubtedly the improvement In the financial markets is slow, but It is steady and the measures taken to permit limited dealings In securities under stringent regulations make st least the partial opening of the London and New York exchange a nearer possi bility: ' Another factor is the active export move ment of crain. Failures for the week In the United States were 415, against 254 lust ytar, and in Can ada 6u. against 53 last year. Bank exchanges were $2,151, 4SS.OO0, a de crease of 42. 3 per cent from a year ago. WOOL PRICES ARE HOLDING STEADY Trend of London Auction Value Haa Been Discounted. BOSTON. Oct. The Commercial Bulle tin will sav tomorrow: Another week of comparative Inactivity Ls reported in the wool trade.

Continued Heavy Receipt 1st TXortk- writ Weaken Price Oata A re Strong. CHICAGO, Oct. 2. Notwithstanding that breads tuffs exports for the week from At lantic ports were the greatest on record, the price of wheat today continued, to rait. Lack of speculative buying counted heavily againat values. The market closed nervous to 1 c unuer last nignt. orn nnisnea to !i 4c down, oats c up and pro visions off 124 to 2c Nearly lT,CJO.000 bushels of wheat Ift for Europe this week, a total almost 4,000,000 bushels larger than for the corresponding time a year ago. This fact was mainly re sponsible for lifting the market temporarily c above yesterdays close, but' depression which had prevailed earlier set In again and near the end of the day there was virtually no buying except from shorts. Corn followed the action of wheat. Assertions that 1,000,000 bushels of oats had been sold here for export held the oats market strong in the face of the weakness of other grain. Provisions sagged under realising by pack ers. It seemed to be a case where better prices for hogs gave an advantageous chance to unload. The leading futures ranged as follows: ( WHEAT.
