QUEEN'S ATTENDANT MISS BETH WRIGHT Rhea Creek Orange old m SATURDAY FuTUR f ! J I p - .'-s, 4 ' XiLi- Try-Outs Reveal Likely Looking Tophands Who Will Go Up in Show Some little inkling of what may be expected to happen this after noon, and the afternoons of tomor row and Saturday, was given at the try-outs last Sunday when a large gang of fans saw some top-notch bucking exhibitions. All of which led to the conclusion to watch that boy Rutherford when he goes up In the show. Glen Rutherford, whose home town is Boardman In the north end of the county, drew one of the toughest mustangs of the lot in the last tryout And he rode him to a finish "a championship ride in any show," so many said. Five boys went up all told on Ave different horses, ad all were good rides, excepting that Lloyd Depew of Ukiah miscalculated the prowess of Al Smith and was left lying in the dust. It so happens that occasionally Al just runs and kicks up his heels a bit, forgetting to do his stuff. That's why he was tried out Sunday. Well, this time, he lit out lickety-split and when he got up a good head of steam, he proceeded to blow off. He just natur'ly migrated way to one side all at once and Lloyd continued in the same direction in which Al started, though Lloyd's momentum forward ceased and he sat down. A pretty fine ride was made by Bob McDow of Dayton, Wash., who drew a cute little bay horse with obstreperous mannerisms. In the snubbing process, Eb Hughes, snub ber, just barely escaped a boxing at the hands of this mustangs front feet. Finally the horse was all cinched up and Bob was up way up, as the critter when released went off the ground about six feet with all four feet and a hump in his back like a dromedary. .But Bob stuck. Buck Tiffin, who placed second in the northwest bucking at Pendleton last year, and Jack Hartman, one of the winners at the last Ukiah show, were the other riders who did their stuff. All of these riders will be In the lists for the show. P. & S. Bank Declares 3rd Dividend, 15 Pet. J. L. Gault, receiver of the Far mers and Stockgrowers National bank, has received telegraphic ad vice from the Comptroller of the Currency at Wahington that his recent recommendation for a third dividend of 15 percent to the cred itors of that bank has been" ap proved.

MISNER TELLS TRIP Lee, Charles Noteon, Vemor Sac kett Club Visitors; Rodeo Presi dent Presents Queen. Probably the most outstanding record for a single family in 4-H club work in the county ia that of the H. E. Cool family of lone. Four young Cools, Mabel, Opal, Alvin and Maude, have won more than 50 rib bons in their several years of sheep and calf club work, 12 of the rib bons being firsts and one a cham pionship ribbon. Miss Mabel Cool, eldest of the children, displayed the ribbons and told of the work required to obtain them, before the Lions club Monday noon luncheon. Present also were Opal and Maude, but Alvin was un able to be present due to illness. Mabel and Opal have been in club work seven years, and Alvin and Maude for five. Mabel, who one year was beaten out by only two points for the right to show at the national 4-H club fair at Chicago, will exhibit at the state fair this week end. Another Lions club guest was Miss Dimple Crabtree, whom Lions president C. J. D. Bauman cited as another champion, having won the election to be queen of the Rodeo starting today. Queen Dimple is a close neighbor of the Cools, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Crabtree. To her introduction by Rodeo president Henry Aiken the Lions responded with hearty ap plause. It was a day of visitors at the club meeting, with visitors provid ing all of the program. Vernor Sackett of Salem, who was present with his brothers-in-law, Lee and Charles Notson, sang two solos which were well received. These men were introduced by S. E. Not son, father of the Notson boys and Mrs. Sackett who are visiting in Heppner Lee and Charles after an absence of several years. Lee, a member of the Lions club in his home town, Logan, Iowa, where he is photographer and ser vice station operator, made a short talk in lighter vein. Introduced by his father as the small son of the family some 30-odd years before, Lee's talk was emphasized by the impressive size of his 300-odd pound physique. Charles, a Methodist minister, who has been in the east for several years is in Heppner with his wife to spend about a month before sailing for Indo-China to take up work in the mission field. The "star" performer of the pro gram introduced by President Bau man was Dwight Misner who told entertainingly of a recent trip to Yellowstone national park with Mrs. Misner and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Man kin, all of lone. Mr. Misner went into detail as to how the transpor tation and finances of the trip were arranged, gave many interesting highlights of the trip and consider able description of the points of in terest visited. "Before starting on such a trip one should have a big wheat crop," he said. "Or failing in this, It is well to be on the good side of the missus." He credited Mrs. Misner with holding the purse-stringy and Mr. and Mrs. Mankin with furnish ing the transportation, telling It all in a humorous manner. He was somewhat disappointed in the num ber of animals seen In the park, having looked forward to the ani mals as a special attraction. The party saw but one herd of elk, a herd of buffalo not much more in teresting than a herd of cattle, said the speaker and a number of black, brown and grizzly bears. The young of the grizzly, largest of bears in the United States, weigh but eight to fifteen ounces at birth, was a bcllcve-lt-or-not cited. A sight described as one of less enjoyable nature, was the loading Into an ambulance of several people who had been badly Injured when their car plunged over the bank of the Yellowstone river. The accident happened just below a beautiful falls, and Mr. Misner surmised that all the occupants of the car were looking back at the falls, allowing the car to go uncontrolled over the bank.
