celebration, the great American holi
day wan duly observed In Pendleton
yesterday. Severnl thousand people
turned out to see the various events
of the day, and from tho opening sa
lute until the last strains of dance
music died away this morning nothing
occurred to mar the pleasure of the
day. Although the heat was swelter
ing there was an abundance of shade,
plenty of seats and Ice water to drink.
The only disappointment of the day
was the failure of the balloon ascen
sion, due to the failure of the aero
naut to fill his balloon with hot air.
At 8:30 yesterday morning the spe
cial train from up the county arrived,
bringing colcbratnrs from Milton,
Frcewaler. Weston, Athena, Adams
and tho country along the line. Ow
ing to the wreck at Hood Itlver the
morning train from Portland did not
reach here until the afternoon yes-t-rday,
and consequently those wish
ing to come from Echo. Hermlston
and other places west were disap
pointed. However, many came up on
a freight train, while others took the
delayed train.
Shortly after 10 o'clock the parade
started from the depot grounds,

pe. Following the grand marshal and
his aides marched the Eagles' hand,
and following them came the Liberty

Nellie McMullen. looked beautiful, as
did the other goddesses and little girls
representing the slates. Following the
Liberty car rode 13 ladles on horse
back, representing the 13 original
states.
The program at the court house
was rendered from a temporary plat
form erected at the Court street en
trance to the building. Congiessinun

eloquent and forcible manner, and
though the crowd was hot and wearied
good attention was given the speaker
until the end.

Bronchos Uio Star Attraction.
Of all the sporting events yesterday
the bronco busting tournament was
the star attraction. Although the af
ternoon was torrid, between 2000 and
3000 people gathered at the ball
grounds at 4 o'clock to. see the riding.
For two hours and a half the crowd
stood In the sun, or sat In the grand
stand while six horses were brought
out and tried.
The first horse up was a disappoint
ment, for he refused to buck to any
extent, despite the efforts of the
rider, E. Cannon. The same was true
of the next two, which were ridden
by Ferguson and Todd, respectively.
However, number four was a big
bay outlaw, and made the crowd take
notice. He was a vicious animal, ami
hard to saddle. After considerable
work he was gotten ready and the
rider Saltmarsh took the saddle.
After a little good bucking the horse
fell, and though the plucky rider staid
with his horse, he had lost a stirrup
by the fall and after a few more
Jumps was "dumped." The outlaw
was then taken from the field to be
ridden again later.
Number five proved a good bucker
though a small horse, and was well
handled by the rider, Seals.
Number six. a bay, was another
good bucker, but was ridden to a
standstill by Joe Cantrell.
It was then announced that the out
law would he ridden next aa number
seven, and volunteers were called for.
Five offered their services, and Wild
Kill, the Indian, drew the lucky num
ber. The work of changing the sad
dle was then undertaken by Wild Kill,
and several of his tribal brethren. Kut
the horse fought viciously and finally
landed on Wild KIM with several hard
kicks which put the buckaroo out of
the game.
The horse was then given to Jimmy
Gangrew, the one who had drawn sec

njilng Winds.
Reports from Onrdena say the "hot
test temperature ever recorded there
Is 106 degrees, which was the mark
registered on Gardena mercury stick?,
says the Walla Walln Tnlon.
So far as can be learned the only
places which have Buffered as yet
from the hot north blasts that have
swept the valley at Intervals during
the past few days are the exposed
stretches of land on Eureka flat,
whete there is grave danger that the
crops will be seriously Injured. Re
ports from all sections of the flat
country say that the grain Is shriveling
nnd already the damage Is great. Hay
harvest Is later this year in that re
gion than ever before In history.
The hot spell Is benefitting rather
than damaging other parts of the val
ley. In the foothills barley la being
headed and haying Is on In full swing.
The same operations are being con
ducted In the valley where the outlook
was never better for bumper crops.
Along the Touohet and In the hill
country around Prescott the grain Is
almost ripe and farmers say the heat
coming as It does Immediately after
the wet reason, Is doing Immense good.
All crops are past the danger period
and In another week harvest days will
have come.
