There is an untold wealth of land

"Central Oregon's possibilities
lie in its water power, irrigation,

railroads reaching into tho inter

these will follow. It is a mar

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

the second meeting which is to

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. Pcoploare comingfrom

In speaking of a meeting for
the purposo of reviving the Vale
Chamber of Commerce, tho En

TIIOSG INDIAN ALLOTMENTS.
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,

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.
Dr. Frye. of Ontario, returned
on Monday evening from the in
terior' country, having gone as
far as Andrews in his Buick auto
mobile, says the Vale Enterpriec.
As passenger he had Miss Laura
Luce, of Forest Grove, who will
teach school at Andrews this
winter. Miss Luce is a niece of
Mr. Neal.
W. E. Albcrson, the founder of
the little town of Albersop, also
made the trip homo from this
city with Dr. Frye. 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. Howard and Hoffcditz
each hauled a load of lumber for
the now school house.
Valley View will have G months
school commencing the first week
after the fair, with Mrs. Luper
as teacher.
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. Sunday School at the school
house every Sunday at 3 p m.
Everybody invited. Superintend
ent Arthur Whitney deserves
great credit for his untiring ef
forts in making tho Sunday
school a success.
