Those who know Mr Hill well, and have followed his remarkn blo railway career, know that he is inflenced largely in building railways by tho spirit he en counters in the new district that he proposes to open up. If the people show their appreciation of his efforts, he is willing to meet them more than half way. but, on the other hand, if tlicy do not show a spirit of co-operation, he is likely to decline to act alone in developing any country.

WILD WEST AT THE FAIR Exciting Cow Boy Features added to Program for Each day BULL-DOG STEERS, RIDE BRONCOS Performers Participated in Pendleton Kound-Up and Will Duplicate Many Thrilling Features Ride any Horse Brought to the (Jrounds Free of Charge. W. J.Jones and, Harry Whit man have been secured by the fair management to perform each day during the fair. These two young men participated in the Pendleton Round-Up program and do some cow boy feats that aro worth while. They have been placed on tlio program for each day during the fair and will do at least three "turns" each day. A corrall will be constructed across the track from tho grand stand where wild horses and steers will be quartered in order that tho people may see each event from tho start of snubbing them up, saddling and getting them out. These young men are experi enced buckaroos and will give the Qrowds some, thrillers. Among the "turns" they will perform are: Riding bucking horses, riding bulls, roping steers nnd tying them down, the Roman race -riding two horses at one time bareback standing up on them. Tho most reckless and daring feat they will perform is bull-dogging wild steers. This is a.diflicult feat that is well worth seeing. A wild steer is turned on to the track and the man rides up to him on a horse and while both are running the man leaps from his horse to the steer's head. Grasping the steer by its horns ho throws it to the ground nnd lying on his back with the steer's head resting on his breast, he grasps the steer's lip between his own teeth and releases his hands from the horns, holds the steer with his teeth. These cow boy features have been secured at considerable ex pense and trouble and the man agement believes they will bo ap preciated. Other features of interest will bo added to tho program by next week and it is believed there will bo some of the most inter esting events ever seen at tho fair. There will be many out Bido people with us that week and we must entertain them. There'll be something doing all tho time. boosts, there is no more knock ing. So they are all coming to the second meeting which is to bo held in Burns soon. Now, Vale is one of tho gateways to our section. You should bo with us in this movement. Although I am not a delegate here from Burns, I will say that you should send some ono to represent Vale at this coming great meeting. It would prove of great advantage to Vale.

The Times-Herald has recived the following letter from Repre sentative Lafferty under date of Sept. 20: Owing to the fact that the res olution sent me by Rye Grass Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, of Harney county, Oregon, was not dated and bore no post office address, I am compelled to request you to print the enclosed copy of letter just received by me from the Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, in an swer to my communication recom- mending compliance with the resolution above mentioned. I will also ask you to kindly give the letter a heading, apprising the members of the Grange the reason their communication was ,not answered direct. " I With thnnks in advance, Very truly your, A. W. Lakkkkty. OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS WASHINGTON Hon. A. W. LaiTerty, House of Representatives. Sir: I have tho honor to acknow ledge the receipt of your letter of September !, 1911, transmit ting a copy of a resolution by the "Rye Grass Grange, Patrons of Husbandry", of Harney County, Oregon, regarding allotments to Piute Indians on the public do main in township 23 South, Ranges 32 and 324 E. The Resolution suggests in pai t that these lands be brought to profitable use either by sale, leaso or restoration to the public domain. Patents have issued for these allotments long since, covering some 18,400 acres in the descrip tion given, and tho Act of April 23, 1001 (33 Stats. L. 207) speci fically limits the authority of tho Department to enncel Indian al lotments to threo cases, viz: Where there is an error in tho description of tho land allotted. Where tho samo Indian has more than ono allotment either under tho samo name or a differ ent name. Where the allottee or his heiis ffilitwmiuti llin lnttil ullftHnfl fri ' the purpose of obtaining lieu lands elsowhere. Unless some of the lands in Harney County, Oregon, hereto fore allotted fall within either of tho foregoing their restoration to tho public domain by cancella tion of tho allotments would be impossible under existing law. ' Tlio question of their snlo or ' lease will bo (akeii up with the proper field officer for investiga tion and report on receipt of which you will be advised fur ther. Respectfully, (Signed) C. F. Haukij, Acting Commissioner. AUTO STA0H ANDREWS TO DENIO.

Mr. Albcr son had been in Vale to take ad vantage of the hot springs bathB to cure him of tho rheumatism ho had been suffering with for the past three months. He was very much improved when he left. While away on the trip Dr. Frye sold his Buick automobile to Nelson, tho mail carrier and owner of the stage line between Andrews and Dcnio. Mr. Nel son will make his regular run in the auto from this on and expects to be able to drive the machine all winter. VALLEY VIEW. Messrs.

The Grange has called a special meeting for Saturday, Sept. 30 to make final preparations for Grange day at the fair, which will be a hummer. C. E. LcMay and wife were on their homestead Sunday. It looks bad, with 1(5 bachelors in Valley View letting a young man from outside of our district come in and marry one of our nicest young ladies. Ginger up boys, you are too slow. Mr. Neil McMalion and wife passed through here on their way to Lawen behind a splendid team. Mr. A. B. Whitney and sons are making extensive improve ments on their claims. Geo. Bryninjj is getting ready to fence his homestead. G. M. Cobb is building a sub stantial and attractive new house on his claim. Our energetic neighbors, the Raycraft Bros., have finished hay ing.
