THE OREGON STATESMAN. SALEM. OREGON SUNDAY MORNING. AUGUST. 21. 1921 WHEN. FURLONG STUCK BIG . i ' SHARKEY TWELVE SECONDS ' V EASTERNER WAS INITIATED When i Charles Wellingtoiv-Fur-londt soldier, university professor, world hunter and artist, and a lot- jjof other interesting: things, stayed for 12 seconds on the back of Sharkey, the bucking bull, he earned the right to write what he will abont the west, Sharkey wa- the ! worst bucking brute that mankind ever bestrode in the hl torj of the west; no man ever reupy rode him to a finish, of ail the dazzJinK riders who have made the' western ranee famens u th home of the .best riders.

JV'ell. Furling earned the risht ioi write it upjn his own way; ana he has done it. He broke hJs wrist In that Sharkey contest: maybe that's why he writes curi ously; i maybe the wound didn't neal quite normally anyhow, it'n altogether a "different" book, his book, "Let 'Er Buck," an epic of .the buck-jumping western tange. It is an Oregon book, starting and ending with the Pendleton Round-Up; though incidentally ringing in a thousand other rough- riding facts and fancies. It is tne Rodeo and the choutin' range done in grand opera. One listens to and enjoys the splendid arias, choruses and the soul-stirring or chestras of many an opera, mer cifully written and sung in for eign tongues so that oue doesn't have to ponder on the banalities of the story Itself. The music loving public a few years ago heard "The Girl of the Golden West," a rather punk story no, not quite that; a common thcugh thrilling every-day story, but set to music a3 foreign as a blast fur nace Is to a ponud of butter, or as the devil is to hoiy water. It takes one a long while to recon cile such a workaday story to Fuch wonderful singing, such crashing orchestral chords, such miraculous costumes. "Let 'Er Buck" is indred an other such a work, in prose. It poems overdone, -a lamorour,; ro- irantic nightmare cf japorte ; nru sical, scintillating words Sung like an roliau harp. !a ; the ccw tcuso and tte cobwebby bam of ital rancU ln. It iKjbe v.c.i feinted in the words of the rs it. With he iniagla&tive brush of the. i 10-year-old, who sees The West as the harbor of ais golden dreams, and every deed a feat performed before the court of the king.

What a strange vision and choice of scene! Va a curious book curious in its physical make-up for it wig gles derisive fingers at conven tional punctuation, at tenses and times, at many staid canons of printlve and grammatical art! , Jt would seem almost grotesque if It wasn't so sincere in its devotion to the cause the wide-hatted, bandanna-handkerchiefed, six-gun cowboy of the west. Maybe in these later days most of the rid ers pictured have concealed the killiad and Mr. Colt's great work on homicide; but the inward eye sees the long black guns always there ready for the draw, and the sinewy finger and the steady Ieye ready for instant use and there's a new thrill every second. One. may snicker at the book; or sneer, or stare, or sigh but in the. end one will read it and say, "That's a wonderful pictura of LIFE! I wish I wish that I had the nerve to do what those range boys do! If I only was younger if I only daredbut say, those are real men. and I'm glad to know 'em'even in a book!"
