WESTRN STAMPEDE THRILL ig Programme Arranged for Daily Entertainment Grange Exhib its Surpass All Entries in Former Sears. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Sept. 6. (Spe cial.) Thrilled by the tremendously exciting Wild West and Stamped events at the Columbia River Inter state Fair today, the vast crowds that overflowed the bleachers and grand stands cheered themselves hoarse. Kach event was more startling and daring than the preceding one, so that the im mense throng was kept tense until the last, wondering- what would be the next surprise. While large crowds have at tended the fair in the past, the one to day was the largest for opening day. Two ferries were kept busy all. day Jong transporting the pleasure seekers. The fair formally opened at 10 A. M. with a grand military and civic parade with four bands. Troops from the Twenty-first Infantry and blue jackets from the Albany, "the United States cruiser that will be in the har bor for the remainder of the week, vrere led by Colonel George S. Young, of Vancouver Barracks, and Lieutenant George A. Alexander, in command of the Albany. Major William Brooke led the parade. The Spokane, Portland & Seattle Band, of this city, and the Ford Ef ficiency Band, of Portland, added sev eral hundred to the parade. The Wild West riders and contestants and the Irwin Brothers Wild West show brought up the rear. Troops' Drill Cheered, Long before the time set, the grand stand and bleachers were nearly filled. The First Battalion of the Twenty-first Infantry gave an exhibition drill to music in the arena, and so perfect were the movements that the cheering was spontaneous. The First Battalion is camped at the fair grounds, where a model military camp has been made. The public is in vited to inspect this camp. Those ax riving in the grounds early should not fail to see the guard-mount in the arena, which will be held each morn ing for the remainder of the week at 10 A. M, the band furnishing music. The cowboys relay races were thrill ing In the extreme, and the spectators would rise to their feet and cheer from start t finish. While the cowboys were "popular, they were not so popular as the cow girls, who performed nearly all of the specialties the men did. and rode wild horses with never a spill. In the pony! express race. Bob Leihe rode a uar ter of a mile on a stirrup and was1 thrown in the dust, so eager was, his animal to get away at the start. He was not seriously injured. The chariot race was thrilling, and the winner, Scout Maish, received flat-; tering applause. Wild Steers Jump Fence, The steers were so wild in the bull hogging contest that several jumped I the fence before they were mastered, i These will be tried again tomorrow I and every day for the remainder of i the fair. Several records were made; by the steer ropers, who succeeded in getting, their animals tied in front of the grandstands. The mannen in which the horses would pull and keep the rope taunt was worthy of admiration. All of the Wild West events held to day will be repeated every day during the week, each contestant being credit ed each day with the points he wins. At the end of the contest the points will be totaled and the $5000 cash prizos awarded to the winners.

Fright breaks down brain cclia and causes deterioration of brain power. Worry produces similar results. This, in brief, is the theory of Dr. George. W. Crile, of Cleveland, the eminent surgeon, who returned recently from the American hospital In Paris and the battlefields of Trance, where he went to assist in taking care of wounded soldiers and to test their blood to de termine the effect upon it of the ter ror of the battlefield. Dr. Crile'a investigations and lec tures on this subject have aroused the keenest interest of business men. many of whom realize the danger of overwork and worry. He has shown that in the case of a rabbit frightened by a doe. the actual breaking down of brain cells has been caused, and he says that there is no doubt that to some extent similar results follow from worry and excessive work. Dr. Crile has not yet announced the results of his Investigations in France, but it is easy to understand that the blood and nervous system of a ter rorized man would afford opportuni ties for study which might result in much practical good to mankind. If by studying extreme cases, resulting from war, Ir. Crile and bis assistant can reach conclusions as to the treat ment of nervous and mental disorders of those engaged in the strenuous pur suits of peace, they will render serv ice of great value.

RAIL LEVY FIGHT DUE FIVE WASHINGTON LINES JOIN IN ASSESSMENT CONTEST. Contention Tbat Property Not Theirs Is Being Included, Blade In Effort at Readjustment. OLTMPIA. Wash.. Sept. 6. (Special.) Keen interest will be added to the 1915 session of the Washington State Board of Equalization because of the harp fight planned by the live large railroad systems operating in this state to be relieved of such a large propor tion of the total taxes of the state and its subdivisions. . A similar fight in 1913 was lost by the railroads after having been carried through the Supreme Court, but this year the railroads have a new mem bership on the State Board and -also believe conditions are better for a legal fight, the Supreme Court having de cided that the old law, making the valuation findings of the public service commission binding for taxation pur poses, was still effective in 1913, this law now being specifically repealed. The Northern Pacific, Great Northern. O.-W. R. & N., Milwaukee and Spokane, Portland & Seattle lines have joined forces for the contest. The first con tention of the railroads will be that the actual, valuations placed by the State Tax Commission upon their op erating properties are too high, but chief reliance will be placed upon the contention that county assessors gen erally are including property other than that of railroads at far lower proportions of the real value than they claim. Most of the county assessors claim to be making assessments on a 50 per cent basis. The railroads ex pect to make out their case Thursday.

Greater simplicity and standardization of the modern dances, with the elimi nation of the "bunny hug." the "grizzly bear" and other "character dances." was advocated at a seBFlon of the Philadel phia Association of Teachers of Dan cing on the Garden Fler. That the tango should be driven from the schools of Instruction and confined solely to the stage was the sentiment expressed by many of the prominent instructors present. Gustave Frlck, one of the local piers, won the approval of the majority of those present when he declared that the dancing public wanted only dances that were both graceful and simple. "I notice," he said, "that when waltz music Is played on the resort piers, where are gathered dancers from all sections of the country, practically all couples take to the floor. While other dances are In swing only a portion of the dancers participate. The fox trot is now going through an evolution that promises to eliminate its objectionable features. The quadrille is too stately for popularity, and the polka and schottische have been shelved. People today favor dances that are both re fined and simple: those that all can perform with skill, grace and ease." Bargain Scheme. Tit-Bits. "How will you have your egga cooked?" asked the waiter.
