"PULLING LEATHER" IS A 1
SUPREHEC0WB0Y SIN
'Pendleton, Oregon To a real cow
boy, that is a buakaroo, a rider of
mean horses, the supreme sir is
"pulling leather."
As pulling leather consists merely
in grabbing the horn of the saddle
it has no particular consequence in
the eyes of the layman save as a pos
sible means of keeping off the
ground and avoiding injury.
A real buckaroo, with his heart in
his work and taking . pride in his
technique, will be thrown rather than
pull leather.
Last fall, at the Round-Up, Nowat
er Slim, one of the best riders in the
business, had just got piled rather
hurriedly from the back of Cal Cool
idge, a gaunt, gray demofT"w1tir jlrO
nounced ability along sun-fl3hing
lines.
Slim got up and dusted off his
.pants disgusted.
"Why didn't you pull leather,
Slim?" asked a tall photographer
who was taking in his first Round-
Up.
Slim looked at him in his tired,
quizzical way and then looked into
the blue sky knowingly.
"Did yuh see any. leather up
there where I was at, stranger?"
Slim queried sarcastically, "Gosh
dinged ef I did!" , . .
But hope springs eternal in the
cowboy chest and Slim will be back
at the Round-Up this year with vis
ions of winning the bucking champ
ionship during the days of September
15, 16, 17 and 18. He has as good
a chance as any, for there's many a
winner who knows the taste of the
arena's dust, and the best of them
get piled at times.
A FLAT AUTO TAX
' County auditors and treasurers of
Rlie '"state of .Washington, in conven
tion at Bellincrham. adopted a resolu
tion urging a flat automobile tax,
and an increase of the state gaso
line tax.' '
DUFUR IN PROSPECT
Charles Norris has Dufur, a town
located near The Dalles, in prospect
as a location for engaging in the
harness business. Mr. Norris stages
that but one obstacle will keep him
from locating at Dufur inability to
secure a modern residence to live in.
