MOVIE OUTFIT HERE Many Pictures Taken of Events; Henry Collin, Head of Pendle ton Itound-Up, Likes Show. Before a crowd of 4000 people, H. R. Hayworth' rode Steamboat to a finish for the bucking crown of Hcppner's seventh annual rodeo, as the shades of evening fell on the successful conclusion of the show on Saturday. Saturday's crowd was estimated to have been one of the largest if not the largest ever to attend the Rodeo, and many were heard to praise the very high caliber of the events and the snap- piness with which they were given. The crowds the first and second days were also large compared to previous years. The Rodeo Friday was paid an official visit by Henry W. Collins, president of the Pendleton Round up association, who was quoted in the Pendleton East Oregonlan. Heppner a Rodeo deserves praise, Mr. Collins said. "The events were snappy and there were many excel! ent performers on the program.' Mr. Collins, accompanied by Roy Raley and Richard Rice, prominent Pendleton men, were cordially greet ed by the stands when they rode horseback around the track. Also adding color to this year's show was the presence of a cinema com pany who took many "shots" of events as well as some of their own not connected with the Rodeo. Sat urday the Btands got a thrill by hav ing close-up views taken. It is un derstood the company was repre senting the Fox Films, Inc. Duggan Smith Second. Placing second in the bucking contest was Duggan Smith, who made a good ride on Black Dia mond, one of the toughest horses of the lot, while F. E. Stud neck re ceived third place, riding Baby Doll. Nine bronco-busters placed In the finals, four of whom bit the dust Pat Owens went off the deck of Colored Boy Just before the gun af ter making a pretty ride. Alvln Gordon found Teapot Dome his Waterloo, Emery Moore declared In favor of prohibition when he was dumped by Al Smith, while Tom Zahm decided Ben Bolt was very bad company. Mike Neitling rode reacock to a finish after being loosened up the first Jump and the crowd expecting to see him go over board any second. Jack Brooks, the last finalist stayed on Attebury but failed to place. The bucking furnished thrills a plenty and while 15 of the 36 who started placed in the semi-finals, eliminations were speedy. Thurs day and Friday It looked somewhat like the cowboys had a little the best of It as more stayed than were plied. But Saturday the broncs proved to be more capable, showing up the best, and the final outcome was decided even before the Judges' announcement Of more than usual Interest to the spectators were the performances on Friday and Saturday of Buff Brady, world's champion trick rid er and fancy roper. In picturesque attire, and using a beautiful white horse with mouse colored spots, uraay performed many daredevil feats of trick riding. Among the most dangerous of these was hang ing over the rump of the horse, his neaa Detwee nthe horses legs, hang ing onto Btraps fastened to the sad dle, while the horse was running at iop speed. His trick roping was also not only spectacular but skillful to the extreme. Two cowgirls also en tertained the Btands with exhibition bronco-busting. These were Peggy Adams and Genevieve Peterson, both of whom made pretty rides and exhibited their fearlessness of the outlaw buckers. Roping Time 27 Seconds. Saturday's events were featured by three accidents that necessitat ed as many performers leaving the held on stretchers. Jimmie Cush- man suffered a concussion of the brain when in attempting to catch his steer too quick In the bulldog- glng, he missed It completely, fall ing to the ground on his head, Pow der Face Tom suffered the fracture of two ribs when thrown by Smithy in the semi-finals, while BUI Clark suffered injuries when thrown by Muckamuck. All three were suf ficiently recovered to be around the first of the week. Best time of 27 seconds In the calf roping was made by R. R. Ingersoll on Saturday, with second best time, 29 seconds, by Oral Zumwalt on Fri day. Zumwalt and Alvln Gordon evened the honors In the bulldog- glng, each catching a steer in 14 seconds. Zumwalt, however, had the best total time for the three days, 36 seconds, Gordon being second with 46 and Buff Daniels third with 48. The calves were mighty elusive this year and the majority of rop ers turned In "no time," though the lists of this event were crowded each day. The bulldogglng on the other hand was hotly contested and the event was featured by good work. The Baze string of race horses were out In front In most all of the JUDGE BUTLER HERE. Judge R. R. Butler of The Dalles, republican nominee for representa tive In congress .from the second Oregon district was a visitor In Heppner on Monday, looking over the political situation here. Mr. Butler had returned to The Dalles the end of the week from a trip over the entire district, this being his second visitation since the pri maries, and he feels greatly en couraged as to prospects of success in the general election next month. He seems well satisfied as to the outlook, both for the national and district republican party nominees. We are sure that Judge Butler has not failed to make many additional friends in these visits over the dis trict, and as people are getting bet ter acquainted with him, the strong er his support grows. He spent but a few hours in Heppner, but this was long enough for him to get the drift here, and he was much en couraged by the strong sentiment in his favor. Chinas, Hungarians, Prey of Hunters Open season on China pheasants and Hungarian partridges began in Morrow county yesterday, and a large number of local sportsmen as well as many from outside bagged the limit Reports Indicate an abundance of this variety of game in all parts of the county. The limit is three roosters and one hen of either Bpecies in any open day. Hunting is premitted only on Wed nesdays and Sundays during the open season, which closes the last of the month. Many local hunters have their dogs primed for the hunt L. Van Marter, manager of the Peoples Hardware company, has had two dogs under a trainer at Eugene since last season, and these with his old stand-by Chief, will be used in giving some of his Portland friends a hunt BREAD GRAINS HOLD FIRM, SAYS REVIEW - HAS LARGEST BUCK. Bert Bleakman of Hardman now has the record for the largest buck killed this season entered In the Peoples Hardware company con test His buck, hog-dressed, weighed in at 240 pounds. The hardware company Is offering a $50 rifle for the largest buck killed in the state of Oregon this season and weighed In over their scales. The contest has proved very popular In past years, they having already made presents of three like rifles the past three years. As the season closes on Oc tober 20, it is probable that Mr. Blcakman's kill may claim the prize. race events. Bert Baze captured the Morrow County derby of three quarters mile, with R. L. Baze acing second. Mrs. L. Copenhav- ers southern Gentleman placed third. H. L. Baze took first in the pony express race, with three-day time of 7:07, Frank Swaggart sec ond, 7:21 2-5, L. Copenhaver third, 23 3-5. Gerald Swaggart. the fourth entrant came In with 7:28. R. L. Baze also won first In the relay race, with three-day time of 10:23. Gerald Swaggart took sec ond with 10:37 and L. Copenhaver third, 11:35. Copenhaver had hard luck each of the last two days In this race, starting to make a change at the wrong time and was penal ized 10 seconds on each occasion. Money in the other races was di vlded between the Baze, Swaggart and Copenhaver horses and Arden Glllilund and Roy Workman, the latter two having horses that placed in several races. 89 Take Fart A chariot exhibition race was run each day between teams furnished by Sterling Fryrear and Orrin Wright which proved a popular feature with the crowds. The teams were closely matched and a hot fast race was run each day. All told there were 89 participants in the events, exceeding by more than 30 the number to take part in a previous Rodeo. Satisfaction on every hand was evidenced with the treatment received both at the hands of the management and by the Judges, John Kenny, Albert Pe terson and Sterling Fryrear. A final check on receipts has not yet been made, though it is estimat ed they will equal the largest re ceipts of any previous year. Re ceipts from several sources, how ever, fell short. The dances did not turn out so well as last year, and the Inst day s receipts at the field were short, due partly to the larger number of season tickets disposed of this year. Drum Corps Visits. Miss Inez Hayes, queen of the Rodeo, who with her attendants, Katherlne Btsbee, May Groshens, Ruby Matteson and Roxle Sperry, rode at the head of the parades Frl day and Saturday, was enthusiast ically greeted. Two hundred horses and riders participated in the pa rade Saturday which made an lm prcsslve showing. Fletcher's Round-Up band again proved popular with the crowds and were unstinting with their snappy music. On Friday the American Legion drum corps of Pendleton made a complimentary visit and in their bright uniforms paraded Heppnor's main thoroughfare. They also received a big hand. The city was brightly decorated during the three days, and the air of hospitality displayed warmed the hearts of visitors on every hand, All told the crowds were well be haved, and withal Heppnor's sev enth Rodeo can truly be recorded as having served Its purpose in giv ing the county a holiday for relax ation and entertainment Red Clover seed prims adnnoad lut week accordlnr to the Weakly Market Review of the O.

Corvallis, Ore., Oct 1. BREAD GRAIN. Although wheat prices fluctuated somewhat, the general tone of the bread grain market was steady to firmer last week. India and Russia are both reported to be importing wheat Instead of export ing as usual. The Indian wneat is white and usually competes with Pacific coast export wheats. Soft red and soft white wheats were steady to a little higher in domestic mrakets. Rye was firm. FEED GRAIN. Barley prices continued to advance last week and oats and corn were firm, but flax weakened. HAY, PASTURES and FEEDS. The general trend of the hay mar kets continues moderately upward. Alfalfa is selling higher than a year ago and well above two years ago, with demand steady at advancing prices In eastern dairy sections. Pas tures continue fairly good in most eatern sections, but feeds are in better demand with prices tending to advance on most kinds except wheat feeds. SEEDS. Red clover seed markets were firmer again last week and prices advanced on both cash sales and futures. No red clover seed was imported during the first two weeks in September and very little alsike, but white clover and hairy vetch seed continued to arrive in liberal quantities. POTATOES. Some suggestion of a reduction in the total potato crop comes from reports of damage from frost and disase, but on the whole the crop continued to make favorable progress. DAIRY PRODUCTS. Increasing production is causing light with drawals of storage butter and a shift from bullish sentiment to bear- ishness in the trade. It is suggest ed that the shortage of storage but ter compared to last year may be only 18 to 20 million pounds on Oc tober 1 against about 25 million pounds a month ago. The Ameri can Association of Creamery But ter Manufacturers reported an in crease of 19.5 per cent and the Land Lakes Creameries, Inc., 13.31 per cent increase for the week ending September 22 compared to the same period last year. Butter prices were scarcely steady last week. LIVESTOCK. Choice cattle held up but lower grades declined on sea sonal runs of grassers. Heavy re ceipts of hogs broke the market $2.50 below the season's top. Sheep and lamb prices were not much changed last week but supplies were liberal. WOOL and MOHAIR. Domestic wool m a r k e t B continued about steady but froeign markets continr ued to show an easier tendency. FRUITS and VEGETABLES. Ap ple prices were about steady with some gain for varieties of which the production Is light this season, Domestic shipments and exports are well above last year at this time. Some Washington Jonathans brought $2.59 a box at auction in Liverpool for combination fancy and extra fancy pack,- which was about steady with two weeks ago. The Canadian apple crop is expect ed to be 5 per cent larger than last year but 5 per cent below average. The crop in British Columbia is heavy but it is light in eastern pro vinces. The Canadian pear crop Is estimated 26 per cent below last year. The French walnut crop is expected to be smaller than aver age but the North China crop may be slightly above normal. A very heavy acreage of winter lettuce is in prospect in California, Arizona, Texas and Florida. Local American Legion Post Installs Officers Earl E.

Both the American Legion and the Auxiliary are sponsoring a "Get Out to Vote" campaigner the com ing election. Our motto is We Don't Care How You Vote, But Vote." The time is very short. In order to be able to cast a ballot at the coming election you must be registered at least thirty days prior to the election. Bear In mind that there will be no "swearing ln" of electors this fall.

For months, and even years, the-' city fathers have have before them city fathers have had before them ; provements ln the city's water sys tem. Aa time has gone on, the need for this Improvement has become more imperative, and plana have been slowly maturing to the begin ning of the undertaking. At the council meeting on Monday evening preliminary steps were taken to make a survey at the Intake, for the purpose of getting an estimate on cross-cutting the subteranean flow of water at that point and L. R. Stockman, civil engineer of Baker, is now doing this work. Mr. Duran, artesian well driller of Walla Walla, was also here on Monday and met with the council, and on Tuesday took time only to make a hurried survey of one or two sites where he believes it would be proper to put down wells. As to just what final conclusions the council will come, we will not be able to say until af ter their meeting on the 15th, when it is thought the plans will be work ed out It would appear at this time, however, that the council will not consider a filtration plant at all, because of the heavy cost of In stallation and the expensive upkeep of such a system; at least they are advised against such a step by those who have had experience. Should artesian water be struck ln abund ance at the intake, the question of pure water, and clean water, would be solved for all time to come. At the Monday meeting the coun cil decided to construct two new bridges in the city, one at the cross ing of Willow creek on Morgan street and the other over Hinton creek on Aiken street and bids for this work are being called for by published notice in another column of this paper. This is much needed improvements, as the two bridges at these points have been condemned for many months.
