often when outside riders were clear
ly entitled to the prize; but a transv
formation Is In progress and the peo-
pie of Cheyenne are determined to
give outsiders tho same chance to win'
thajt Is accorded local men. j
This spirit was manifested In the
stand today, when the Judges Insist-1
ed upon Dick Stanley riding again'
and again against Clayton Danks, 1
although the Portland man clearly
outpointed the Cheyenne rider, by
riding "Old Steamboat" to a finish,1

Wyoming's Wg Wool Clip.

a million and a half pounds, says a
Cheyenne Item. The clip In 1907 ag
gregated 33,637,000 pounds, for which
the growers received $7,811,773. Al
though the Wyoming sheepmen have
largely Increased the amount of wool

weight of the fleeces this year was
approximately eight pounds.

Stanley had been giving ex-
front of
out
before he entered the bucking con
test, but he gamly hung on and rode
"Beaver" to a finish after he had
subdued "Old Steamboat."
To Stanley belongs the honor of be
ing the first man who ever scratched
"Old Steamboat" and remained on his
back, for the best riders In the coun
try have failed to stick and scratch
the outlaw.
The Portland man weighs less than
120 pounds, and not only rode straight
up, bat rode part of the time with his
feet out of the stirrups and hli spurs
dragging back and forth across "Old
Steamboat's" sides.
Again and again the vicious outlaw
attempted to throw him, trying every
Jump, twist and turn he knew, but
finally decided that he had, met Ms
master, for Stanley only smiled and
whipped and spurred the harder.

JACKSON TELLS-
OF CRATER LAKE
PORTLAND "COWBOY"
IS CHAMPION BUSTER
The awarding of first place to Dick
Stanley of Portland, Ore.', In the
world's championship broncho-lbust)-Ing
contest here today, and the treat
ment of Ikusa POrdy and Archie
Kaaua,. the Hawallans, who won first
and third place in the steer rosing
contests, will carry with them to their
Island home the world's champion
ship, has done more to overcome the
Potato i 'amine in Asotin.
There is a potato famine here and
the man with the spuds should be
happy, says an Asotin item. It Is
difficult now to meet the demand, yet
the price has moved up from one
cent to 2 cents a pound. Ueople are
unable to account for the short sup
ply on any other theory than that In
terest has centered In fruit growing
and other lines this year to a greater
degree than has been the case In the
past, with the result that the potato
acreage has been greatly lessened.
There is also a scarcity of melons
this year. Statement Is made that
there Is not one melon this year where
a carload was available last year.
Gardeners have received a fine price
for all classes of garden truck and
the year has been a very prosperous
one In that line. ,
Big Wheat Sales in La Grande.
Saturday was the biggest day of
the season as far as wheat sales are
concerned. The total transactions
for the day are- placed at 50,000
bushels, says the La Grande Observ
er. One deal which helped to make
tho day a record breaker was the dis
posal of one lot of 35,000 bushels by
A. B. Conney, the "wheat king," to
the Island City Pioneer Mill com
pany. Most of tb buying yesterday
was done by the mills, although the
warehouses along the Elgin branch
took In a fair share of the grain of
fered. The prices remain about the same
as the last quotations given as the
local market figures. This is a vari
able proposition, depending on the
grade, quantity and other circumstan
ces. The present price ranges from
72 to 76 cents per bushel.
The statistics of exportatlons from
the United States to Germany for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 190$,
show a value of $276,910,223, against
$256,595,663 In 1907. The Increase
In raw cotton was $13,955,443 and of
wheat $6,081,974. The Imports from
Germany for the fiscal yearr 1908
aggregated $142,935,547, against
$151,543,656 In 1907.
"Crater lake !s the world's greatest
natural wonder, and can be- made
Oregon't greatest attraction. Thirty
thousand tourists from all parts of
the world can be brought to Oregon
annually to- view this most pictur
esque and beautiful wonder spot,"
said Colonel C. S. Jackson, publisher
of the Portland Journal, who- spent
the day In Medford with Mrs. Jack
son on returning from a visit to the
lake, says the Medford Tribune.
"What is needed to attract this
travel Is a good auto road, wide
enough for teams to pass," continued
Colonel Jackson. ' "The state of Or
egon should aid in the building. The
road will probably cost $159,900 to
the forest reserve and the govern
ment can be depended upon to do
Its share In its reservation and park.
"The road should run from Med
ford to Klamath, and it should be
made possible for tourists to come In
one way and go out the other, a five-
hour trip from Medford to the lake.
"No other way can as desirable
a class of people be brought to Ore
gon as by making the Crater lake
trip worth while. Millions of dollars
will be left annually in the state by
It, and It Is as much to Portland's
Interest as any other section to help
the work along.
Medford, Jackson county, and
Klamath Falls and Klamath county,
and the entire state are equatfy In-1
terested In this highway and all to
gether should) provide the funds. '
1 Intend to bring the matter be
fore the Good Roads association
meeting In Portland next week and
will endeavor to have the associa
tion concentrate its efforts upon
building the first of the proposed
state roads to the lake, I am will
ing to do all In my power to help
advance the proposition, for I think
the state has a fortune in this lake."
Medford and Jackson county
should organize at once to build this
road. City, county and state should
work together and begin work at
once."
Colonel and Mrs. Jackson were
taken to Jacksonville and given
ride through other parts 'of the val
ley by Mayor Reddy. Both are en
thusiastic over the lake and over
the Rogue River valley and its future.
