Br ADDISON BENNETT. PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 26. (Spe cial.) The 1914 Roundup Is a thing of the past, which it can safely be said, is regretted by all. It has been a won derful show most wonderfully staged. The management has been as near per fect as at the former events of the kind here, and a little more so. It Is well known that the grounds are .better- adapted to such stunts than any others, being of the ideal size and the seats so arranged that every person has .a full view of everything that The weather this morning looked as If there would be no show today, for between 7 and 8 o'clock the rain came down by bucketfulls. However, It soon ceased, the clouds broke away and by 10 o'c'rr the sun was shining brightly and tils afternoon was pleasant, there being a slight chill in the air which was invigorating after the sultriness of yesterday. The track was rather wet when the show began, but an hour later It was In ideal condition. Boll Rider Badly Hurt. Only one accident occurred today to mar the pleasure. This happened shortly after the events started. In the bull-riding exhibitions one of the riders, mounted on Sharkey, a fierce black animal, was unwise enough to hook himself to the saddle. The result was he was trampled by the animal and had his breast badly crushed. Three cf his ribs were broken and some cf the splinters of bones. were forced into his lungs. His recover seems doubtful. The name of the poor fellow is Sterling Sloan. Something out of the ordinary oc curred when the Judges announced that prises had been awarded to the typical co' yirl and typical cowboy of the year's Roundup and that Nellie Terney and Fred Spain were the fortunate ones. In the cowgirls' bucking contest Bertha Blanchett took first, Fannie Steel second and Minnie Thompson third. In the girls' relay race, a three day event, Ruth Parton won by 15 sec onds. Miss Parton has proved to bo a great favorite with the crowds. She Is ono of the best riders ever seen here. She handles her horses like a regular Jockey. In one of the heats today she made a sensational finish that brought the audience to Its feet with a chorus of wild applause. Spectacular Rldlnn; Seen. In the pony express race Fred 'Spain ' beat Jason Stanley by three seconds. This was alBo a three-day race. Stan ley Is the most spectacular rider ever seen In any shows of this character. "When he changes horses he does not hold his animal when mounting, he Krabs the reins and saddle pommel and races alongside until the horse Is at full speed and then swings Into the saddle, often going 100 yards before being seated. This wins thunderous applause every time. One of the sensational finishes of the day was In the squaw race. Com ing Into the stretch three horses were nearly abreast, the fourth 20 yards be hind. Like a whirlwind came this fourth horse and won by a length. Of course, the great evdtit of the (how was the bucking contest. There were so many contestants that many had to be tried out before the show In the morning. The poorest were elim inated, which left nearly 40 In the reg ular competltipn. it was finally sifted down to the three best, which the Judges announced were Lee Caldwell, Johnny Judd and Red Parker. , JVebraskan Champion Buster. These three were given new mounts, as follows: Caldwell on Speedball, Judd on Llghtfoot and Parker on Happy Canyon.. These were all vicious buckers, but after deliberating some time the Judges awarded the first prize , to Red Parker, second to Caldwell and the third to Judd. So Red Parker, of Valentine, Nebraska, won the cham pionship, which carries with It the prize saddle and $500 in cash. The sec ond prize Is $150 in cash and a pair of cowboy hoots, while the third gets $100 In. cash. , . As Parker won the championship last week at Walla Walla he may safe ly be said to be a real, sure-enough champion. The verdict of the Judges was accepted generally as a Just one. both here and at Walla Walla. He is a wonderful rider, and no mistake. Financial Result Pleases. As to the attendance. It was much better today than either the first or second days. There were a number of vacant seats again today, but per haps 3000 or 4000 less than yesterday: The managers express themselves as being well pleased with the receipts. They will come out something ahead, . The show has been a costly one, for they have had a larger and better class of professionals here this year than ever before. The Indian turnout also has been the best they have ever had, both in numbers, number of mounts and trappings. Indeed. the Indian show has been a most wonderful ex- niDltlon. Mappy (janyon was also a happy thought. It is a great show and will be expanded into one still greater next year, for it has proved a great attraction -and a big money-maker. HARNEY BOARD IN SESSION Picas of Taxpayers for Assessments Are Considered. BURNS, Or, Sept. 26. (Special.) The Board of Equalization of Harney County has been in session' this week, and found the summary of the tax roll as compiled by the Assessor to give the total of $7,782,225, compared with $7,695,070 for 1913. C. B. McConnell, who is interested .in the proposed Irrigation projects In Sll vies River and Silver Creek valleys. filed with the Board an "application for the " increase of the assessment and valuation on certain real property in Harney County for the year 1914." A protest was filed by three promi nent taxpayers against the assessment of cattle and sheep at $20 and $2.60 a head, respectively, and asking that the same be raised to $35 per head for cat tle and $3 for sheep. The Board decided It would be im possible at this time to make such a re- Iassincation as demanded by Mr. Mc- Connell, - also that the assessment of cattle and . sheep was equitable, and both wijl stand. The Board, however. recommended that the County Court provide for a reclassification of lands before the next assessment. LINCOLN PRECINCT ELECTS Republican Committeemen Choose S. P. Weaver Chairman.

BOOM LITERATURE TARGET H. B. Sillier Warns University Class Declaring "Poorest Conditions of Living Are IVund in Coun tries of Uniformed Types." UNIVERSITY OP OREGON, Eugene. Sept. 26. (Special.) "The poorest con ditions of living are found in those countries of uniform types; for exam pie, where all of the hair is straight and black, or all of the eyes blue; It is these communities which entertain the poorer livinsr conditions, so said H. B. Miller, director of the newly-organized school of commerce within the uni versity, and at one time Consul-General to China from the United States, in his second lecture to a class of 65 students In Villard Hall on Friday. The greater the variation in human types the greater the diversity in in dustries maintained, was the sum sub stance of Director Miller's discourse. "Beware of boom literature, he warned his class, "for the day of the boom is fast disappearing. Pay no at tention to such "stuff it is wrong." Opportunity la Great Now. "This is not boom but facts when I state that we in the Northwest are living under conditions which favor the development of natural resources sucn as are found in no other part of the world." Director Miller appealed to the class that they, especially the seniors, when leavinar college, make diversinea in dustry the fundamental feature or their life's work, and that they- mane great effort to know the country, the resources, the market conditions, and be able to grasp opportunities. "If you do this," he said, "you can hardly fall to be somebody in the com munity In which you live." Director Miller defined the economic law of value as regulated by the cost of producing the most expensive part of any one article. . "The survival of the fittest," he in terpreted as the life on which one can live the least. " v Germany's Work Landed. "I take no sides in the present war so don't misunderstand me when I say that the whole world will suffer from Germany's participation in the under going great struggle. It Is her failure to contribute, now, the. chemicals, ma chines, and the works of science and invention, as she did before, that I form facts for the statement I make. I con sider Germany the finest example of a country's application of science to in dustry that exists in the world." The School of Commerce is a new de partment at Oregon, having it's origi nation this year. With Mr. Miller at the head of the department great strides have been made and the course has proved itself a most popular one. Every other week, in the one-hour lecture course, a successful business man is to address the assembly. Inter- mittlngly Director Miller lectures. On Friday, October 2. W. D. B. Dod- son, of Portland. Trade Commissioner of that city's Chamber of Commerce, will lecture on the commerce of the Columbia River. TREES IN CROP MARATHON Orchard Bears Perfect Kruit for 13 Tears Without Failure. SILVER LAKE, Or.. Sept. 26. (Spe cial.) Twelve crops without a failure is the Marathon record of five apple trees on the ranch of Felix Duncan on the west bank of Silver Lake. Mr. Dun can is harvesting a big crop from the trees this year. " Theee trees, says Mr. Duncan, never have been, pruned nor cultivated. They had a precarious existence in the four years following their planting, as they were in the center of a pasture with no protection from stock. When they blos somed the fifth year Mr. Duncan built a fence about the small orchard and Blnce has harvested a big crop each year. Mr. Duncan does not know what kind of apples he is growing, but says he never has plucked a wormy or faulty apple from any of the trees. WEST IS IN CLACKAMAS GOVERNOR BOOMS DR.

Thousands of people suffer from eva troubles because they do not know what to do. They know some good home remedy for every other minor ailment, but none for their eye trou bles. They neglect their eyes, because the trouble is not sufficient to drivt them to an eye specialist, who would, anyway, charge them a heavy fee. As a last resort they go to an optician or to the five and ten-cent store, and oftentimes get glasses that they do not need, or which, after being: used two or three months do their eyes more injury than good. Here is a simple prescription that every one should use: B Strain Optona (1 tablet). 2 ounce Water. Use three or four times a day to bathe the eyes. This prescription, and the simple Optona system keeps th eyes clean, sharpens the vision and quickly overcomes inflammation and irritation; weak, watery, overworked, tired eyes and other similar troubles are greatly benefited and oftentimes cured by its use. Many reports show that wearers of glasses have discarded them after a few weeks' use. It ia good for tile eyes and contains no in gredient which would Injure the most sensitive eyes of an Infant or the aged. Any druggist can fill this prescription promptly. Try it and know for once what real eye comfort is. Adv. WASHING WON'T RID HEAD OF DANDRUFF Dissolve It, That's Best Way. The only sure way to get rid of dan druff is to dissolve it, then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about fow . ounces of ordinary liquid arvon: apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. Do this tonight, and by mornintr most if not all of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more ap plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. no matter how much dan druff you may have. You will find, too. that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once, and your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. x . If you want to preserve your hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for nothing destroys the hair more quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out, but it makes it stringy, straggly, dull, dry, brittle and lifeless, and everyone notices it. you can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and never fails to do the work. Adv.
