FIRST
Championship Ride Made
On black Diamond ; Has
Best Roping Time.
RACES CLOSELY RUN
GUliUuid Takes Derby; Depew Wing
Pony Express and Relay, and
Also Ranks In Bucking.
The eleventh Heppner Rodeo
passed into history late Saturday
afternoon before one of the largest
crowds in Rodeo record with Bud
Colvin of Ritter making the cham
pionship ride in the bucking contest
on Black Diamond. Shortly before,
Max Gilliland on Sliver took the
spectacular three-quarter-mile Mor
row County derby race, one of the
outstanding events of the entire
Rodeo.
No more cantankerous mavericks,
nor better exhibitions of bronk
busting were ever witnessed in the
local amphitheater than those turn
ed loose in the Saturday finals. The
ideal summer day with the sun
shining brightly from a cloudless
sky lended itself to the prince of
typically western American sports.
Colvin's ride on Black Diamond
was outstanding, with the coal
black outlaw bucking and side
stepping at a rapid stiff-legged pace,
a gait that few aspiring top-hands
have been able to master. Colvin
mastered it, spectacularly for the
alotted time, though he bit the dust
after the gun was fired. Hardly less
spectacular, however, were the
other rides that placed in the mon
ey. Kenneth Depew, Uk kill's fa
vorite cowboy and popular all
round Rodeo performer, on Baby
Doll, split second and third money
with Walt Bonifer of Gibbon who
rode Franklin D. Johnny Black of
Starbuck, Wash., placed fourth on
a reride on Colored Boy. Blac'i was
thrown from Honorable Archie,
but the mustang had been released
without the blindfold being re
moved. Other riders in the finals were
Pat Owens of Kennewick, Wash.,
and Buck Tiffin of Burns. Owens
made a good ride on Madam Queen,
while Tiffin met terra flrma from
the heaving deck of Teapot Dome.
Good Finish Seen.
The derby race, won by Max Gil
liland, was contested by five horses
of exceptional class. Pete Gilliland
undoubtedly would have come in
close to the lead had not his horse
got out of control and made two
laps of the track before the race
was run. As it was he placed a
good fourth, with John D. Rocke
feller on a Gerald Swaggart horse
barely edging him out of third place
on the home stretch. To gain this
position John D. passed two horses
as he ncared the post for a spec
tacular finish. Carl Cox on a G. A.
Hileman horse placed second, while
Don Bellenbrock on a Frank Swag
gart horse came in last.
The two-day pony express and
relay races were closely contested
by Gerald Swaggart with Kenneth
Depew riding to victory in each.
Swaggart made fastest time in the
express event the first day, but
dropped behind Depew the second
day when one of his.horses knocked
the catcher flat, and interfered
with his making the change. De
pew gained the advantage in the
relay race with his rapid changes.
Other horses in these races were
those of Frank Swaggart, Ad
Moore and C. R. McAnulty, with
Moore placing third In the pony ex
press and McAnulty placing third
in the relay. The other race events
were closely contested with each
Btring taking a share of the honors.
Colvn'g Best Time,
Next to the bucking In the arena
events, the calf roping was of ma
jor Interest. Bud Colvin, champion
bronk rider, also proved superior
In this field hanging up the fastest
time for the two days of 29 seconds
on Friday. Bryce Baker of Athena
made second best time for that day,
36 seconds. On Saturday, Tony Vey
of Echo chased down his hollering
young heifer for the good time of
29 3-5 seconds, with Bill Elk of Ad
ams second best at 36 seconds.
Many exhibitions of bareback
steer and bronk riding interspersed
the programmed events, with sever
al unnamed cowboys taking spills
to keep the spines of the crowd
tingling.
No criticism was heard of the de
cisions of the arena judges, Herb
French of Gurdane, Herb Thomp
son of Pendleton and Eb Hughes of
Lena. Harlan McCurdy, veteran
Rodeo race starter, got all the races
off to a good start amid the usual
bantering of the crowd.
From start to finish the show
went off with dispatch, snubbers,
wranglers, hustlers, saddlers and
pick-ups all being on their toes, giv
ing contestants an even break, and
preventing any needless exposure
to accident. Some of the cowboys
were bruised, and some received
oracked bones, from spills, but no
Injuries were serious. Billy the
Kid took the worst dose when he
was piled from and landed on by
Honorable Archie on Friday, while
the same day Kenneth Kennedy
took a bad spill In the relay race
which prevented his riding the sec
ond day.
III
PEDDLER BAN LAW
UP NEXT MONDAY
Adjourned Meeting Ordered Due to
Absence of Councilmen; Street
Proposition Heard.
A large group of merchants of
the city waited upon the city coun
cil at its meeting Tuesday evening
for the purpose of urging passage
of an ordinance aimed to restrict
peddling that was slated for third
reading and final action. The ab
sence of Mayor McCarty and Coun
cilmen Bisbee and Shively prevent
ed the council from taking action,
and with Councilman Cox as mayor
pro tern, an adjourned meetng next
Monday evening for the purpose of
taking up the ordinance was or
dered. Dr. A. D. McMurdo appeared be
fore the council and made a prop
osition that if it would provide the
gravel he would provide the oil to
matt a permanent street from
Main street up K street to the
Htppner hospital, in order to allay
the dust from the street which pre
vents giving the hospital proper
ventilation. The council took the
matter under advisement, deferring
its decision.
A discussion was had of the man
ner of handling a certain class of
delinquencies in water payments,
and other matters connected with
the watertnaster's office. Payment
of current expense bills was order
ed and the watermaster's report for
the month was read and ordered
filed. The bill of R. J. Strasser and
company to date for drilling a new
well at the forks of Willow creek
was allowed. The new city well is
down to a depth of 175 feet, with
the hole filled with water. Drilling
operations have been suspended
temporarily owing to injuries re
ceived by the driller in charge.
Attend Open River Meet
At Lewiston Yesterday
S. E. Notson, W. W. Smead and
Vawter Crawford attended the open
river hearing at Lewiston on Wed
nesday, when witnesses were called
to present the claims for improve
ments that would make both the
Columbia and Snake rivers avail
able for use as navigable streams
east of Celilo and as far as Pitts
burg Landing, 80 miles south of
Lewiston, before the congressional
investigating committee, composed
of senators and representatives.
The same committee had met in
Portland Tuesday to consider open
rivers and the development of hydro-electric
power, the meeting at
Lewiston centering arounb river de
velopment in the promotion of
transportation. The Heppner men
did not arrive in time for the fore
noon meeting and missed the pres
entation of facts that had been
gathered over the past year or so
by Captain Arthur Ward, agent of
Westetrn Inland Waterways cor
poration, showing the vast amount
of produce raised along the rivers
and available for barge transpor
tation. This matter was all ar
ranged in form to be made a part
of the record for the committee's
consideration later and the opin
ion expressed was that Captain
Ward had made out a case. Of
course the greater part of the ton
nage has to do with wheat, this be
ing the major production of the In
land Empire tributary to the Co
lumbia and Snake rivers. The ex
hibits of Captain Ward show that
there is almost 2,000,000 tons of
freight now annually handled by
transportation companies that
would be available for river ship
ping and the savings to producers
would be around one and one quar
ter million dolalrs per year that
saving In freight rates resulting
would mean some profit to produc
ers and manufacturers, whereas
there is now a loss, Further, that
the contemplated cost of Improve
ments on the rivers would soon be
absorbed by the saving made, and
the open rivers would always act
as a leveller of freight rates.
Roy W. Ritner of Pendleton pre
sented a short paper, which he sup
plemented by a short talk on the
necessity of farmers, especially
wheat producers, getting lower
freight rates, and supported the
open river and barge transportation
as means of reaching this end. A
number of witnesses were called
from Oregon, Washington and Ida
ho to verify what Mr. Ritner pre
sented. S. E, Notson presented the
case for Morrow county. The lum
bar Industry also had strong rep
resentation to present their side of
the picture, as did some other In
dustries and development, and It
was quite evident from the trend
of the questions asked by the var
ious members of the committee that
they were deeply impressed by the
facts set out. They will make their
report later to the Navy depart
ment,, and It is to.be hoped that im
mediately upon the reassembling of
Congress In December the river de
velopment for this northwest sec
tion will receive prompt attention,
and the necessary means provided
for carrying on the work. We are
sure the fairness and earnestness
of the representative gathering at
Lewiston on Wednesday to discuss
the question with the members of
congress will at least impress them
with the Importance of the under
taking and should result In favor
able action on their part.
Tho members of the congresslon.
al committee at Lewiston Wednes-
day were Senators C. C. Dill of
Washington, Frederick Stelwer of
Oregon, Robert D. Carey of Wyom
Ing and John Thomas of Idaho, the
latter presiding.

TRUCK ID
BUS BILL
E
Large Bearing Had on Big
Transportation Prob
lem, Turner Says.
RIVER JUNKET SET
Delegation Organized to Accom
pany Notson to Lewiston; Club
Play Coming October 19-20.
The freight truck and bus bill to
appear on the ballot in November
is one of the most important meas
ures the people will have to decide,
J. O. Turner, local attorney, told
the Lions club Tuesday in an expo
sition of the bill for the benefit of
club members. The assertion was
based on the importance the bill
bears to the state's transportation
systems, one of its large economic
factors.
The problem for the state to de
cide is to what extent it is wise to
go in maintaining two large com
peting systems, the one well estab
lished and contributing heavily in
to the tax coffers of the state, while
the other is a fledgling using state-
provided and state-maintained high
ways, and whose extent of growth
to be economically sound is yet un
determined. The so-called West bill aims to
lower the load capacities of trucks
and busses; to limit the hours of
drivers of commercial vehicles, and
to otherwise safeguard the high
ways and the motoring public from
so-called past abuses.
As Mr. Turner's time was limited
he did not go deeply into the tech
nicalities of the measure, but rec
ommended the full text in the Vot
er's Pamphlet for careful study in
order that all might vote intelli
gently on this problem. .
S. E. Notson, appointed to give a
five-minute paper before the senate
investigating committee at Lewis-
ton, Idaho, on the advantages of
river transportation to Morrow
county, reported that he had re
ceived word that it would be best
for the delegation from this county
to appear on the following day, and
a delegation was orrjanlzed to ac
company hhn to that city yester
day.
For the Rodeo committee in
charge of amusements and conces
sions, W. W. Smead, chairman, re
ported that these features had nett
ed the association approximately
$150. He said he believed the pub
lic appreciated the manner in which
the concessions were run this year,
and thanked all the boys who took
part in making the all-home carni
val a success.
Earl W. Gordon, head of the play
committee, announced the various
sub-committees selected to handle
the details of the Lions club pro
duction slated for October 19-20.
The cast has been selected, he said,
and all details for the presentation
this year all-local were well in
hand.
P. W. Mahoney, chairman of the
float committee, was absent when a
request was made for an explana
tion of why the Lions did not have
a float in the Rodeo parade. Other
members of the committee, how
ever, explained that all prepara
tions had been made for the float,
and it was thought everything was
all set for it to appear on sched
ule, but that the truck broke down
at the final moment leaving the
committee in the lurch.
. The club was favored with a
pleasing vocal selection by a trio
composed of Caroline Gardner, Mrs.
Edward F. Bloom and Coramae
Ferguson with Mrs. C. R. Ripley,
club accompanist, at the organ.
S. E. Notson, program chairman,
announced that next week Gay M.
Anderson would give an exposition
of the voter's qualification amend
ment to appear on the November
ballot.

30c AN HOUR KOR HORSES.
In the write-up last week of the
proposed plan of gravelling on the
Heppner-Spray road, the contract
for which will be let Sept. 16, It was
erroneously stated that $3 a day per
team would be paid for horses used.
The rate Is 30 cents an hour, with
the schedule calling for a six-hour
day. It is not yet known definite
ly whether horses and dump wag
ons will be used in hauling the
gravel, but If they are there ap
pears to be no doubt that plenty
of teams will be available.

GRANGE ENTRY WINS
Hale Tots First Among Twins
Which Prove Popular; Prizes
Given; Carnival Attracts.
Up gaily bedecked Main street at
10:30 o'clock Saturday morning
started the long cavalcade of
mounted Rodeo cowboys and cow
girls, brightly colored floats and
automobiles, comic stunts, pets and
twins that provided one of the most
colorful and attractive features of
Heppner's eleventh Rodeo.
Miss Mae Gentry of Lexington as
Queen Mae II, with her attendants,
Miss Gwendolyn Evans, Miss Kath
ryn Bisbee and Miss Virginia Cleve
land rode at the head, picturesque
in their gleaming white cowgirl
costumes, their steeds the pride of
the county's fine horseflesh.
Next rode C. W. McNamer, Rodeo
president, carrying Old Glory, and
in his wake other show officials. The
30-piece Heppner school band fol
lowed in procession, marching
sprightly to their own lively tunes,
clad in white uniforms with red
ties and red berets.
Approval Voiced.
In order came the mounted top
hands, 200 strong, the beautiful
floats, the decorated automobiles
and lastly the pets. As the head of
the parade passed out of sight, the
van came into view four blocks be
hind. Main street was thronged
on either side by the crowd of spec
tators, exhuberant in voicing ap
proval. Many gasps of appreciative com
ment were elicited by the beautiful
floats, among which that of Rhea
Creek Grange was given first choice
of the judges, with the Degree of
Honor second, and B. P. O. Elks
third. Roars of applause from the
spectators heralded the Business
and Professionad Womans club en
try as the best comic stunt, with
I women of the club depicting a
piains-crossing lamny at its worst
a ramshackle wagon drawn by a
disheveled team, the family wash
on a line drawn alongside; a muley
cow hitched on behind, which was
milked at intervals by the gro
tesquely clad maids.
At the wind-up of the parade the
judges, R. J. Carsner of The Dalles,
H. W. Kelly of Hermiston and Mrs.
Herb Thompson of Pendleton gath
ered about the float containing the
several sets of twins, naming Mar

sons of Mr. and Mrs. Faye Petty
john; third, Frances and Mary
White, 18, daughters of Mrs. Lena
White.

ciation and several Heppner busi

deo this year was created by the
all-home operation of the amuse
ment stands, which received good
patronage and provided a lot of fun
for the crowds. A housey game, cat
stands and other games, augment
ed by a merry-go-round for the kid
dies, were all taken charge of by
local men. Reasonable prices were
asked and groceries were mainly
given a3 prizes..
