.THE PRESS, ATHENA, OREGON , SEPTEMBER 13, 1929 THREE THOUSAND REINDEER HERDED Canadians Tackle the Job of Keeping Animals In Ten-ifey. . Ottawa. Unt. Herding duuo rein deer from : Alaska to 15,000 square miles of grazing grounds in the northwest territory is one job tackled by Canada's department of the in terior. The drive, beginning this summer, will be completed some time in 1931, and the reindeer will travel about 1000 miles to reach their new home. Early in June A. E. Porsild of the northwest territories and Yukon branch of the department started for James bay, where he will survey the wild life of Charlton and Akimiski islands and the nearby coast. On his return, says a recent release from the department of development and colon ization of the Canadian Pacific rail way, he will select 3000 of the most virile Alaska reindeer for the depart ment of the interior. About October these animals will be started on the long, trail along the northern coast of Alaska to the 15, 000 square miles of grazing grounds east of the Mackenzie delta. The big herd is expected to reach the grazing grounds between Point Barrow and the Colville river in the spring of 19C0, and will remain here while t fawning takes place and until the young deer are able to travel with oil owl .. .

What research work for the depart ment means to officials in northern Canada may also be judged by the task assigned to W. B. Hoare, who, with Warden A. J. Knox, is making a patrol of the Thelon game sanctu ary at the east end of Great Slave lake. Since he entered the 15,000,- square-mile musk-ox preserve only. one report has reached Ottawa. This came early in 1929, and no further word is expected until next autumn, when he will come out either by way of Baker lake and Chesterfield on Hudson bay or by Fort Smith and Edmonton. None the less, says the bulletin, these surveys are related to the prob lems of the prairie provinces and other settled regions, sjnce the wild life of the north attracts sportsmen and tourists, contributes to the es tablishment of new industries and supplements the Canadian food sup ply. . : Poultry men On Tour Poultrymen toured the west end of the county this week, where the var ious chicken ranches were visited and inspected.

Emigrant Wagon That Crossed Plains in 1850 Is Now Highly Prized Eugene. A genuine "linch-pin" wagon, one that actually crossed the plains in 1850, has been discovered by Cal M. Young of Eugene, and the vehicle, which is still sturdy and ready for any kind of use, will be preserved as a relic of early Oregon days.

TIRES AND TUBES - Why Don't You? pioneers and an authority on pioneer lore. The wrgon, so far as known, is the only one in existence" today that came across the plains in a wagon train. It was found on the old Love place, near Wilbur, and was given to Mr. Young by Rodney Easley, owner, to whom it had been given some time before. The wagon was driven across the plains by Dr. Calvin C. Reed, who left Jones county, Iowa, in 1850. He settled near Wilbur and erected the first grist mill in the north Umpqua region. One of his daughters, now Mrs. W. G. Hill, was born in this wagon, or a similar one in the train, on the old Barlow road near Mount Hood, October 2, 1850. Mrs. Hill is still active, and positively identified the wagon as one in the train. The historic wagon now has an or dinary bed, which replaced the old "prairie schooner" of plains days. This wagon, or one of the others in the train that crossed in 1850, was fitted up with a boatl for a bed, which was used in fording streams. Mr. Young plans to replace the present bed with a boat and will make the vehicle regain, as nearly as possible, its old appearance. The wagon derives its name, "linch pin," from the fact that wheels are fastened onto the axles by steel pins set outside the hub, in place of the more modern locknuts. When displaying the wagon, Mr. Young hooks up a team of oxen which he himself has broken to drive. The vehicle was recently photographed with Mr. Young driving. His son Ford and daughter Brandon, Miss Barbara Barker, granddaughter of Oregon pioneers and daughters of Burt Brown Barker, vice-president of the University of Oregon, and Miss Adelaide Church, granddaughter of pioneers, were passengers.

" " James H. McCool, writer of "Wild Life Lines" in the Morning Oregon ian, recently visited this section of the Inland Empire, and met up with the sons of Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Mc Ewen, who reside on a wheat ranch, northwest of Athena. Returning to Portland, Mr. McCool wrote for his "Wild Life Lines" column his impres sion of the boys, as follows: In the week-end preceding Labor day I made a trip up 'through the Blue mountain ' country in eastern Washington and Oregon. While pass ing through Walla Walla, in days gone by an outfitting point for min ers, trappers and Indian fighters, I met two boys ; one 8, the other 10, who had just performed what I con sider an epic feat. The boys live on a farm in the foothills of the Blue mountains, about 14 miles from1 the Spokane-Pendleton highway, which passes through Walla Walla. They own two fleet Shetland ponies, and decided to enter their mounts in the pony races at the Walla Walla fair. So they saddled their little nags on a Sunday morning and accompanied by Spot, the fox terrier, started on a ride of 35 miles. Out of the hills they galloped, with the lit tle dog making playful dashes down the sides of canyons to chase coyotes or flush bands of Hungarian and Chinese pheasants. The boys are Hugh and Don Mc Ewen Hugh is the elder. He was rigged out cowboy fashion with bright purple shirt, gaily hued neck erchief, home-made "chaps," "four gallon" hat, wild west boots and spurs. The boots were his particular pride, having been a present from Rich .Thompson, one of the best- known sponsors of Pendleton's cele brated Round-Up. They cost $27 and were presented to Hugh 'in recogni tion of his riding prowess. Little Don wasn t as lucky as his older brother. He managed to ride along though, in overalls and low shoes, and his horsemanship was no whit affected by the absence of head gear or riding boots and spurs. The two young horsemen dodged a stream of automobiles on the highway and made the long trip in five hours, an average of seven miles an hour. "Wasn't it hard work for the horses on the pavement?" I asked. "Didn't you have any accidents?" "No, we didn't" grinned Don, "but Spot was run over three times, and danged if he didn't get the same foot hurt every time." After the boys got to Walla Walla they went to the fair grounds and got jobs helping unload stock from box cars. They worked till nearly midnight and for their reward they were satisfied to have their ponies entered in the races without payment of entrance fees. The first prize in one pony race was $100 and in another it was $50 When I left them the little fellows were in high hopes that they would win one or both of the races. "But if we don't win anything," said Hugh, "we won't be out any thing, as we stay at our grand father's ranch and we still have our ponies to ride back home." The McEwen boys go to a country school and all last winter in the cold est and stormiest weather they had to ride nine miles and back every day. It can be stated that the rugged lit tle riders have "won their spurs." . CLASSIFIED High grade piano near Athena. Will sacrifice for quick sale. Write Tallmam Piano Store, Salem, Oregon. Dr. H. C.

With the arrival of . V. Fleming, manager, from Crlifoiaia, plans for the Oregon state fair horse show, September 23 to 28, are being rounded up for the largest show in the history of the fair. ';;'.. This year marks . a definite step forward in the history of the show, as the classification list calls for dou ble the amount of money distributed in previous years and a great in crease in stakes, calling for a total of $8500. This raises Salem into ,the class of major horse-show engage ments where the best horses in the country can afford to congregate and contest for an amount of prize money, that will pay them for the trip. : Mr. Fleming has just finished a strenuous month as manager of the Palo Alto and San Joaquin county horse shows, and is all ready to jump into action on the capital-city show. He has arranged a special train on a 36-hour schedule to leave Pomona on the closing day of that horse show, and it will arrive in Salem the day before the first, performance here, with a precious cargo of fine horses. Conditions of showing at the state fair are excellent, all stalls being in the same building, on tha level of the arena. The grounds are in a beau tiful natural site covered with live oaks. The new $150,000 grandstand and exhibit building will attract many new visitors, and the exhibits are expected to excel those of pre vious years, according to Mrs. Ella S. Wilson, secretary of the fair board. A. C. Shumway, Milton, is director of the horse show and horse division and, with Mrs. Wilson and Mr. Flem ing, Is. working hard to make this year's show the best ever held here, and all indications point to success) of an astonishing degree. Arrested for Possession C. Anderson, a sheep herder, was fined $250 and costs in the courts of Clackamas county last week for hav ing deer meat in his possession. .The state game department is keeping watch of a number of sheep camps where reports have been made that deer is being used for .food in viola tion of the lawj . "When the offenders are caught and punished they regret that they did not kill one of their flock," said a game warden. "It would be less expensive." Will Release Trout The two large city park nonds at Walla Walla are being flushed out and cleaned in preparation for the re lease of 300,000 rainbow trout. The trout will be taken out of the small er pools and released in the bigger ones and will remain there until the close of the fishing season when they will be placed in the streams around Walla Walla. .
