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

teer in making a sensationally
quick catch, broke a horn on his
steer and was thrown violently with
the wind taken out of him. He was
soon up, however.
Mr. Matteson was one of the local

nings at the open air dancing pa
vilion where the Blue Devils orches
tra proved very popular. 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.

The Safe ofPohh
ASOKA, BARBARIAN
A SUGGESTION.
UNWISE NAPOLEON.
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.
