FIFTY-YEAR-OLD INDIAN CHAMPION OF 1916 ROUND-UP. STATE FAIR GROUNDS. Salem. Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) The 55th annual Oregon State Fair, on the eve of its opening, witnessed the final rush of ex hibitors to the grounds, and through out the day the exhibit booths in the different buildings reverberated with the sound of hammers and other prep aration. Although some delay has been ex perienced by exhibitors in obtaining cars for shipment of exhibits to the State Fair, the work of placing most of them is now well progressed and by tomorrow night everything is expect ed to be ready. The opening day's programme of en tertainment ' is simple, including only the regular racing card at Lone Oak track and concerts by different musical organizations. The big days at the racetrack will be Wednesday and Thursday. Salem and Portland days, respectively. On these days the 2:08 pace and the 2:12 trot for purses of $2000 will be run.

Lea, secretary of the State Fair Board, and others in terested in the fair's success are hope ful the threat of inclement weather fails, and that clear skies will smile throughout the week. Horse Show New Feature. For Tuesday, Wednesday. Thursday and Friday the evening programmes will be featured by a horse show in a large tent which has been erected on the grounds. This is a new attraction for the State Fair and promises to draw big crowds. For the benefit of the old soldiers and their families, the members of Sedg wick Post, No. 1, Woman's Relief Corps, of Salem, today established headquarters in the shady oak grove inside the grounds, where during the week they will keep open house. A tent fitted with chairs and other com forts has been erected, and the whole is in charge of Mrs. Florence Shipp, of Salem. In the grove also camping places for the Boy Scouts, girls' Instruction camp, Rehekahs, Women of Woodcraft and other organizations have been assigned. For auch organizations as have no equipment, Secretary Lea announced that he had made arrangements to se cure it from the Third Oregon Regi ment after it is mustered out of the service tomorrow. In observance of Woman's day, Tues day, the State Federation of Woman's Clubs, the Oregon Congress of Mothers, the State Grange and other kindred organizations have prepared an inter esting programme. The programme will be held in the afternoon in the auditorium of the new pavilion. Free Kindergarten Established. The Oregon Congress of Mothers has headquarters in the old pavilion. Mrs. Hettie L. Vail, chairman of the fair committee of the congress, is in charge. A free kindergarten will be maintained in the old pavilion, where children of fair visitors will be cared for. Miss Nellie Casebere, of Salem, will superin tend this department. AH day today the premier stock of Oregon farms kept arriving, and were assigned places in the various barns. Hundreds of animals already crowd the barns, and space outside has been pre pared for the reception of the over flow. One of the most notable stock ex hibits is that of A. C. Ruby, well-known importer and breeder of thoroughbred draft and hackney horses. From Mr. ttueys farm and stables at Gresha "Jr., enough blooded horse flesh has been sent here to occupy all the space in one or the large barns. This is the first year that Mr. Ruby has exhibited ms cnampion stock at the fair. Where the different strinsrs of Khet land ponies are quartered is the Mecca or hundreds of children' and tndav Salem youth swarmed about the barns housing these diminutive animals. Last year the Shetland pony races proved one of the best features on the week's racing card, and this year an equal feature will be made of this class of coniesi. tr. r. Wolfe, of Woodburn, and M. S. Levy, of La Grande both have their strings of Shetlands here. LINN REGISTRATION IS LOW Republicans, However, Gain and Democrats Show Loss. ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 24. (Special.)

ROOND-UPISHISTORY Pendleton Begins Plans Better Show in 1917. for CLOSING NIGHT HILARIOUS Cowboys lilven Things Up With Pis tol Shots, While Thousands of Others Gamble for "10-Buck" Notes, Worth One Dime. BY GORDON STUART. PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 24. (Spe cial.) Sunday and the day after the great Round-up! What a difference be tween the day before and the day after. Testerday everybody was keyed up to the highest pitch. All was expectancy. The seven grand championships were yet to be won. Who would get them? That was the question. Today everybody knows that Jackson Sundown, f ullblood Nez Perce Indian, is the champion broncho buster of tr.o world, and that Angel, one of the fam ous outlaws of the Round-up, could not unseat him. They also know the other champions, and now that the suspense is over, relaxation follows, while plans for the Eighth Annual Round-up are being laid. At 6 o'clock last night, after the wild horse race wae ended, the exodus be gan. There were special trains for Walla Walla, Spokane, Portland, La Grande, pulling out every little while, and hundreds of automobiles started homeward. So many machines were in the city during the Round-up that room was found for them by parking on both sides of Main street and on side streets. Good Time Follows. When all of the 28 contests had been ended, everyone started out for a good time. A terrific raid was made on the hotels, restaurants, 'hot dog' wagons. and private rooming-houses. Then there were several hundred pounds of beard and dust to remove from the male visitors and barbers were the busiest of men. The theaters were crowded until mid night, standing-room being at a pre mium. The passenger stations were taxed. Many slept there. About 7 o'clock the big noise began on Main street. A score or macnines filled with enthusiastic youths raced ud and down the street, klaxons sound ing. back-firing and pistol shots by cowboys sounding like a battle Europe. The crowd became so great that one had to move with it, and the din was so great that one could not think. At 7:30 the lid was littea at nappy Canyon, and 6000 persons surged into the grandstand and saw the evening performance and later into the gam bling palace where they gambled to the limit with "10-buck" notes. Such a note costs 10 cents and is good for drinks at the big bar. Dancing formed amusement for several hundred couples until midnight. This is the first Round-up that has been held since prohibition went into effect. Many predicted that prohibi tion would kill the show. Atendance Records Broken. The answer is that the attendance this year beat all past records. All expenses will be paid with a fine sur plus to put on a greater show than ever next year, ana part or the money will probably be spent for more bleach ers. It was amusing last night to stand in one of the former big saloons, now soft drink parlors, and see the cowboys stalk into the place and order a grape juice highball, a can of near beer, or an oyster cocktail, and drink to one an other's health. There were no fights and no trouble. Everyone was out for a good time, had it, and today Pendleton seems a desert ed place, compared to yesterday. By night practically all of the visitors had left, and tomorrow business as usual will be resumed. The Seventh Round-up is history, but pleasant history, and the people here are planning for another round-up that will excel, if possible, this year a show, ments for her trip would be made to day. Mr. Montgomery, who had not been heard from since March 22, until his strange appearance in San Francisco several days ago, was employed at dif ferent times in and near Portland. He lived for a time at Gresham and Ka lama. Wash. Mrs. Montgomery has been living at Rockwood, 14 miles east of Portland. Mr. Montgomery left home March 15 for Salem, to look for. employment on a farm. He wrote to his wife March 22 and that was the last heard of him. It was supposed he had been drowned, as the skeleton of a man taken from the Willamette River almost two weeks ago was identified as Montgomery. His appearance at the Emergency Hospital at San Francisco was reported in Portland last Thursday. He remem bers nothing since August 12, 1912. 2 IN AUTO WRECK HURT ADELBEBT F.

Wash., Sept. 24. (Spe clal.) Ten cents invested in seed pea beans and a few hours' labor brought a net cash return of $12.52 to H. C.

Car Runs Off Columbia Highway Rolls Over Machine Also Fig ures In Collision. Adelbert F. McKay, aged 50 years, a grocer at 1254 Patton avenue, and Will lam Tuttle, employed by the O.-W. R. & N. Co., were hurt in an accident on the Columbia River Highway four miles east of Multnomah Falls yesterday. An, auto driven by Mr. McKay ran over a bank and turned a complete somer sault, alighting ride side up. Mr. Mc Kay's back was wrenched and Mr. Tut tle was bruised. Both were taken to their homes and attended by physi cians. Faulty brakes are assigned as the cause of the accident. A short distance east of where the accident happened the car collided with another automo bile. No damage was done. In the car at that time were also Mr. and Mrs Allan C. Tuttle and Mrs. Tuttle's father. They decided to leave the auto and re turn to the city by train, in this way avoiding the Later accident. C. C. Overmire. president of the fort land Automobile Club, passed the spot soon after the McKay car ran orr the highway and he pulled it back onto the road and brought the two injured men back to the city. Mr. McKay, the driver, is a former sea captain. He had made arrange ments to dispose of his store, and was to leave next Thursday for New York City to take command of the schooner Dawnlight for the Standard Oil Com pany and operate it to South American ports.
