alette Wimzti eppet ' HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, OCT. 3, 1929. Subscription $2.00 a Year Volume 46, Number 29 Eighth Rodeo Witnessed By 3500; Irrigon Band Popular Feature. QUEEN REITA RULES 73 Contestants Enter, Many From Afar; Local Boys Make Good Showing. Turk Greenough, world'B cham pionship buckaroo at Pendleton last year and who placed third In the event at the recent Round-Up, car ried off the bucking crown at Hepp ner's eighth Rodeo ending Satur day. The bucking contest was one of the outstanding events of the Rodeo, witnessed by more than 3500 people. On Saturday Heppner was jammed with what was probably the largest number of people ever as sembled In the city. Chilly, drizzly weather greeted the opening Thursday, while Fri day was cloudy. On Saturday, how ever, Old Sol stuck his beaming head above the horizon and warmed the atmosphere as well as the hearts of the throng to make of the day one of the biggest finales in Rodeo history. The famed Irrigon school band of more than 30 pieces made its ap pearance Friday morning and was a factor in keeping things livened up on through Saturday. This band, reputed to be the only children's band in the United States composed wholly of 4-H club members, made a big hit with the crowds by the way its members played. All the youngsters took their parts with a gusto ad pomp which showed ardu ous training and drill, and the mu sic was of a quality comparable to that of more advanced organiza tions. Miss Relta Neal, queen of the 1929 Rodeo, was seen in the forefront of the parades Friday and Saturday with her attendants, Miss Cecelia Kenny, Miss Inez Hayes and Mrs. Ruth Peterson, following shortly af ter C. W. McNamer, president of the association, who was flag bear er. Then came the band, followed by a long string of mounted Rodeo performers and boosters. Queen Relta on her beautiful dapple-white mount was formally introduced to the stands Saturday afternoon, be ing accompanied by her lady as sistants, Mr. McNamer, and a cor tege of officials and performers. Her rule was mighty popular, Judg ing from the ovation received. Seventy-three numbers were Is sued to Rodeo participants this year, which exceeded any previous year with the exception of last when 69 were given out. Cowboys all the way from Klngsville, Texas, and Achilles, Oklahoma, to Dead wood, S. D., Red Lodge and Miles City, Mont, were entered in the lists, besides a large number of lo cal people. Lending an additional touch of color was a group of In dians from Okanogan, Wash., who had their tepee pitched near the barns in true Indian fashion, and what with the column of blue smoke going up from their camp-fire little stretch of the imagination was needed for one to go back to the early days when Indian and white man raced their ponies before the tepees in the wide-open spaces. The Indians had two of the fastest horses on the track and won their share of the races. They were mighty well pleased with the treat ment received and assured the man agement they would be back next year, bringing more of the boys and more horses with them. Gen eral satisfaction was expressed by the cowboys, too, who were well satisfied with the judging of events, and many of them were heard to express themselves to the effect that they will surely be back next year. This was the case with Turk Greenough of Red Lodge, Mont., who won the bucking champion ship, and Eddie Woods who was with him in the restaurant after Saturday's show. Eddie halls from Ellensburg, Wash., where one of the leading cowboy shows of the north west Is held. Both these boys fol low the show game as a profession, and they declared Hppner's to be one of the very best small shows they had ever participated In. Turk was naturally feeling good over winning the championship, but showed himself to be a good sports man along with It. He gave the other boys plenty of credit and ad mitted It was far from a walk away. He is used to winning cham pionships, however, and proudly displayed a silver watch fob that he had won a short time before In his home state of Montana. Then as before said, he won first in the World's at Pendleton last year, and third in the same event this year. From Heppner he went back to Pendleton for a few days, then to Dallas, Texas, and he will make shows In New York and Chicago before again hanging his hat on Us home peg In Red Lodge. Events at the arena passed off without as many mishaps as In for mer years. Only one accident could be considered as serious. It hap pened Friday when Lloyd Mate son was thrown by Indian Lou and had to be carried off on a stretcher. Lloyd's elbow was broken and he was quite badly bruised. Another slighter accident occurred in the 1929 Legion Officers Will be Installed Chas. W.

A carni val company with merry-go-round and giant whirl proved at attrac tive resort for the kiddies as well as man adults, and the big smoker Saturday night drew a record at tendance.

I have not been able to find an account of a man who was entirely intelligent, or of one who was en tirely honest. The best example of an honest and intelligent man was possibly Asoka, a barbarian. It is said of him that though he con quered in battle as easily as did Napoleon, he grew to have a horror of war, and would have no more of it. Asoka had victory to his credit In full measure. No one could say he was a coward, or that he was not the best of commanders. He was rich, and regal in splendor of pal aces, robes, jewels, and obedience from his subjects. So the man chose to thereafter court fame by becoming a just and Intelligent ruler, and this course met with so much success that he is at this distant day, best known and respected of the notables of his time. Any page , devoted to a summary of a thousand years of history, gives brief mention of rulers much alike; so many victories, so many defeats, and through it all about the same thievery and oppression. But Instead of the usual line given an ancient ruler In the necessary brief summary of history, Asoka gets a Deer and Birds are Now Available and Quest is Popular. With the opening of the deer hunting season last Thursday noon by Governor Patterson, and the bird season opening Tuesday, a general rush of hunters has been the order for the last week. There has been a large influx of outside hunters in to the Heppner territory besides the usual number of local people, and it is a common sight these days to see a car pull Into town with a deer or two tied on behind or loaded in the tonneau. Governor Patterson made news of the opening known Thursday morn ing and it was greeted with glee by throngs of sportsmen. Coinci dent with the opening of the hunt ing season the forest closing order that has been in effect throughout the state was rescinded. One of the first parties to come into town with deer was made up of local men who hunted in the vi cinity of Ditch creek Sunday. In cluded were Dr. A. H. Johnston, C. L. Sweek, Chas. Cox, Albert Adkins, Earl Hallock and Ed Bennett Mr. Sweek and Mr. Adkins were the fortunate nimrods, and it so hap pened it was the first deer for each of them. Their deer were not of the moose variety, however, and so were not entered in competition at the Peoples Hardware company who are offering a fine gune for the largest buck deer killed this season within the state and weighed in over their scales. To date Lee Smith of Ukiah has the prize deer, weigh ing 237 pounds. Another kill re ported was made by W. O. Bayless. Other local men who have been out or are now out and report more or less luck are L. Van Marter, in company with "Buck" Bigbee of Portland, D. A. Wilson, Leonard Schwarz, Marlin Gramse, Earl and Leonard Gilliam, Chas. Vaughn, L. E. Bisbee, Ollie and Gene Ferguson, and a number of others. In fact it has rustled local business houses to keep enough help on hand to do business. Along with the deer hunting sea son opened the grouse and native pheasant season as well, and these have proved attractive game for many. Then beginning Tuesday for eight days in two weeks, the season was opened on Chinese pheasant and Hungarian partridge. Hunting for these birds is on Tuesdays, Wed nesdays, Sundays and Mondays. The bag limit is three roosters and one hen for each day, or six roost ers and two hens for any one week. Former Heppner Resident Dies at Portland Home Mrs. I. N. Hughes, who many years ago resided at Heppner when her husband, Rev. I. N. Hughes, was in business here, died at her home in Portland on Tuesday, Oct 1, after an illness of long duration. Mrs. Hughes was aged 64 years, and besides the widower she Is survived by the following children: G. N. Hughes of Vancouver, Wash.; Ar gus Hughes of Benton City, Wash.; Mrs. Laura F. Driskell of Heppner; Mrs. Eva M. Newell of Bellingham, Wash.; B. L. Hughes of Lewiston, Ida.; Clarence and R. J. Hughes, Mrs. Bertha Wilson and Mrs. Maud Coan, all of Portland. Funeral services for Mrs. Hughes were held in Portland on Wednes day afternoon, with interment at Lincoln Memorial park. star in front of his name, and footnote recording distinction no other king, president or chief has. The history of Asoka Is shadowy, and I somewhat distrust it, but it at least persists, and is a sugges tion a modern ruler might have made reality. Why should not a ruler acquire fame with honesty rather than with the roguery that has distinguished his class almost without variance? Napoleon was a rarely Intelligent man. In the Russian campaign, which wrecked him, he took a chance that was surely unnecessary He appreciated he could not suc cessfully invade England because of the channel separating Calais and Dover, but overlooked a more ser ious handclap Winter in invading Russia. Why was It impossible for Napo leon to be as wise as the barbarian Asoka, who, after becoming satiated with victory and power, chose to try for still greater glory, as a just and intelligent ruler t st Helena is a good story, but an uneccssary tragedy: I regret Napoleon's history Is not an Inspiration to all men that honesty is the best policy. Had Napoleon adopted Asoka's plan as late as Austerlitz, ne would have not only his present fame, but a ereat deal more, and of a better kind. Bear Tears Up Camp; Chases Trapper Out "He was as big as a mountain!" This is what Adam Knoblock, government trapper, is reported to have said of a bear that tore up hiB camp on Swale creek one day last week, besides chasing Mr. Knoblock out At least this is the story told by Harold Dobyns, assist ant predatory animal inspector from Portland, now making the rounds in the county. Mr. Bruin's foraging expedition resulted in tearing down the tent, wrecking the bed, and almost com plete annihilation of the commisary. Mr. Dobyns is thinking of putting on another trapper to assist in put ting Mr. Bruin where he will do no further harm. Mr. Dobyns asks that anyone de siring to have predatory animal poi son put on range and who is will ing to furnish old horse for bait, can secure this service by getting in touch with him.
