THE DALLES, Or.. Oct. 11. (Special.)
The ."Wasco Countr Fair and Rodeo,
by farthe greatest and most successful
event of the kind ever held here, is be
ins closed tonight with one of th most
unique amusement features ever staked
a dance in the street. The merry
makers pack a Ion block in Second
street from Federal to Washington
streets. The pavement was washed and
swept and Just before the dancing: was
started a large quantity of cornmeal
was scattered. Really it is a fine floor,
the immense crowd gliding gaily to the
music of the Wasco Fair band of 27
pieces.
Fair officials, dignified business and
professional men of the city and their
wives, some of whom have not tripped
the light fantastic for years, are min
gling with cowboys, cowgirls, Jockies
and the rest of the racetrack crowd and
an Indian or two.
Bis Crowd Is -Orderly.
Everybody's doing it dancing it and
ragging it. None is too dignified to get
out in the street and dance, none too
prim to rag or at least try it for it is a
new experience for some of the old
timers, in whose day of dancing the dip
and wiggle were unknown. The weath
er is ideal", a beautiful harvest moon
vielng with the piercing brilliance and
blazing splendor of myriads of lights,
which bad been strung along the street
for the occasion. Extra police were
provided and no rowdyism was allowed,
in fact none was attempted. It was a
revelry of hilarious merry-makers, but
it was as orderly as any exclusive and
private ball. From a standpoint of ex
hibits, attraction and attendance this
year's fair and rodeo has been a record-i
breaker. After all obligations and pre
miums are met the officials will have
a good sized balance . with which to
meet past deficiencies. It is the first
time that expenses have been met here
and for the first time all premiums will
' be paid in full instead of being dis
counted. Plans already are being made
for a larger event next year.
New Record Set.
Yesterday's record crowd of 8000 was
bettered by a few' hundred today. It
was a perfect day and every one who
could possibly get away went to the
grounds. The business nouses did not
close today, as has been the practice
during the previous days, but this at
tendance loss was made up for by the
hundreds of country people who came
for Farmers' day.
The Rodeo programme day was the
banner one of the week, every event
being close and exciting.
Glen Housely, of Cody, Wyo., is the
Rodeo champion. Be won the cham
pionship bucking contest, in which
were entered the nine men who won
first, second and third places during
the previous three days. Lee Caldwell,
. of Union, won second place In this con
test, and Gall Downing, of Cheyenne,
third. The other events resulted as fol
lows: Cowboy relay race, one mile and a
half Braden Gerkln, first; E. A. Arm.
strong, second; E. Turk, third. Time,
2:58.
Five-eighths pony dash Tony Faust,
A. Force up, first; Ethel Sampson, Hack
Grand up, second: Billy Button, John
Dow np, third. Time, 1:04.
Pony express race, two miles Bra
den Gerkln, first; Hoot Gibson, second.
Time, 1:68.
OhI Girl Features.
Bucking contest for women Minnie
Thompson, of Cheyenne, first; Rose
Henderson, of Cincinnati. Ohio, second;
Hazel Walker, of Saltlllo, CaL .third.
Relay race for women, one mile and
a half Mrs. Maud Bolin, first; Hazel
Walker, second. Time, 3:02.
Besides these regular events there
was a wild horse race and splendid ex
hibition of fancy trick riding and
roping wild steer, bujldoggtng. The
latter was successfully accomplished
by Cuba Crutchfield and Henry Labbee.
All spectators had been ordered off
the track when the bulldogging was in
progress. One elderly man who had
not complied and was standing against
, the grandstand attracted the steer as
soon as he was released and he made
for him, ramming him against the
grandstand, but the man was not seri
ously hurt because the horns of the
. animal went on either side of him.
CHILDBEN-S EXHIBITS GOOD
Feature of Dalles Fair rinds Favor
With Visitors.
THE DALLES, Or, Oct. 11. (Special.)
The children's department of the
Wasco- County Fair was a notable fea
ture. The gallery at the fair building
was given over entirely to the schools
of the county.
Over half the space was occupied by
The Dalles schools with a complete ln
. dustrial and agricultural exhibit, every
building in the city and nearly every
grade having something to show. The
other half of the space was occupied
by schools In various parts of the coun
ty. Oufur. TIgh Valley, Moscow and oth
er localities had exhibits.
These exhibits were mechanical as
well as agricultural. Two complete and
perfect violins made by boys under 1
and a traction engine made by some
young mechanic were especially worthy
of notice.
The boys and girls ara not going to
buy popcorn much longer, 'xiiey will
be selling it. The fine samples prove
that they can raise it and that they do.
Superintendent Bonney is being con
gratulated on his first school fair, and
parents appreciate the effort of super
intendent ana teacners in mi wu
for the school children.

Th. teachers of the near future, eith

room, was the opinion expressed by
visitors.

hiblt of arralns and soils, all massed.

exhibition of more than 20 Oregon

VANCOUVER. Wash., Oct 11. (Spe
cial.) Driven by a propeller in the air,
a watercraft today on tne uommDia
River, on her first trip, made 10 to 15
miles an hour. The motive power was
furnished by the engine of an old au
tomobile and the pontoons were filled
with five-gallon oil ca,ns, sealed, mak
ing numerous airtight compartments.
The boat was launched at the same
spot where, In 1836, the side wheels
were put on the ' Beaver, the first
steamboat to ply the Pacific Ocean.
The Beaver sailed around the Horn
and np the river from London, and
while here the wheels, which she had
carried in her bottom, were put on.
Then she steamed down the river and
into the ocean.
This strange-looking watercraft, the
"Victor Hugo, was built by Byron

This is the first watercraft to be
propelled by an aeroplane propeller in
this part of the Pacific Northwest It
is predicted the success of the experi
ment will mark the beginning of a new
kind of boat for pleasure and com
merce. After the first spin today Mr. Fry
made a landing and took on four pas
sengers. The craft is a little heavy in front
but this will be remedied by setting
the engine to the rear a few inches,
which will buoy up the front As
faster speed is made the boat has a
tendency to rise out of the water,
skimming along almost on the surface.

Cases Set in Salem Courts, but Attorney-General.
Favors Observance.

gon Laws, would be a legal holiday.

men's coats for women
YOU get some idea from this illustration of what we're
doing about "men's coats for women." Here are four
of our most successful models well shown.
From left to right these are the styles:
1 A 30-inch double breasted, soft front, three-button Norfolk jacket,
with adjustable collar; bellows patch pockets; yoke and plait in the
back and belt all around.
2 A 50-inch double breasted, soft front, two-button overcoat, Raglan
shoulder, shawl collar; patch pockets; short silk yoke lining.
. 3 A 50-inch double breasted, soft front, motor coat, adjustable collar;
silk yoke lining; vertical pockets cut through; short belt at the back.
4 A 50-inch slip-on, soft front, three-button-through; patch pockets,
seamless back, adjustable collar.
Women who wear these coats appreciate the comforts and conveniences
they offer; and the advantages of all-wool fabrics, superior tailoring, and
very smart style. Our dealers can show them.

it repealed at an initiative election.
"1 understand that about 2000 has
been raised for the work," continued
Mr. Watson. "Luther D. Mahone, I
am informed, has been engaged to
