OREGON. k U -naatilla Masa Heads R ound U p 7 Â Oil Was in Use as Early As in the Time of Noah The firs t co m m e rcia l oil w ell was d rille d in A m erica, but o il that seeped to the surface of the earth was used fo r sim ple purposes as fa r back as human knowledge goes, relates a w rite r in the Chicago T rib une. Noah, according to the Bible, used pitch to stop up leaks in the ark. ‘ ‘And God said unto Noah . . . make thee an a rk o f gopher wood; rooms shalt thou m ake in the ark, and shait pitch it w ith in and w ithout w ith p itch .” The Am erican P etroleum in stitu te says the pitch was a fo rm o f petro leum from the shores of the Dead sea. The Greeks used o il to set fire to enemy ships. There are records of its use among the e a rly Chinese. The Indians were using crude oil fo r medicine when the P ilg rim s came to A m erica. The o il was skim m ed fro m the surface of springs. The w hite men treated rheum atism w ith it. No such thing as a refining process had been heard of and uses of o il in its crude fo rm were lim ite d . Old as is the use of oil, its o rig in is much more ancient. I t comes from decomposed sea plants and anim als that were covered w ith mud of seas long eras ago. Over count less years p a rt of the mud turned to stone, some to limestone, and some to shale. These are “ source rocks” of oil. E ve ry continent has them. The A m erican P etroleum in s ti tute, in a history of oil, says th a t George Washington had an oil spring and that he listed it in his w ill as a valuable possession. I t was on a tra c t of western Pennsylvania land w h icli he bought in 1753. H ow ever, the task of getting oil did not become an in d u stry u n til m ore than a hundred years la te r.

Now in its third decade and inter nationally known as the biggest community owned, non-profit rodeo In existence, the Round-Up’s com petition is open to the world of top- hand performers, who will compete for $9,365 prizes. Of this sum, $4400 goes for events in which points are offered for the winner of the all round cowboy chsmpionshlp of the world, who’ll be given the crown at the close of this season’s shows throughout the United States. The four major events at the Round-Up are bucking, steer roping, steer bulldogging, and calf roping, and ior the high point winner in AMERICAN BOY MAGAZINE COMPANION TO THOUSANDS Hundreds ci thousands of boys and young men read The American Boy traga ine every month and con sider it more as a living companion than as a magazine.

New departure in the world championship bucking this year will be the use of chutes instead of the former method of saddling the mounts in the arena. The old system will be used for the northwest bucking. Thus the Round- Up will be the only rodeo in the country offering to spectators a chance to compare the two methods. Besides the daily parades at the Round-Up grounds, the Pendleton show offers its magnificient West ward Ho! parade, staged nowhere else in the world, which will wind through Pendleton streets on Fri day, third day of the show, at 10 a. m. The parade was conceived as a tribute to the pioneers of Oregon, and its name came from his battle cry. Some 5,000 participate, in cluding whites and Indians, and every entry is historically correct. Original relics are used and exact replicas have been constructed to re place originals no longer in exis tence. Every pioncsr vehicle known is found in that long amazing pro cession, from the Indian travois (pronounced trav-wah,) used by the redman to transport family goods from one camp to another, to the prairie schooner which creaked westward with the first migration. The Indians, 2,000 of them, bring a brilliant climax to the mighty caval cade; chiefs, bucks, braves, squaws —aged grandmothers, Indian maid ens and tiny papooses, drowsing in the beaded "tekashes” on their mother's backs. This year sees a new Round-Up president in the saddle; he’s Bill Switzler, active in the show since its inception; a pick-up man in the arena for 17 years, and seven times judge. For the evening hours, the vivid Happy Canyon pageant, a story of the old West, is offered, followed by dancing and games. a sympathetic and helpful way. It gives advice and entertaining read ing on every subject in which a n fe'low is interested. It is larticularly helpful in sports.

Smith, as sistant county agent leader, are working already on various arrange ments intended to make this the largest and most educational show | of its kind. The extension service and experi ment station of Oregon State college have Been asked to cooprate with the original sponsors in staging the show at Corvallis from now on. Rep resentatives of state farm organiza tions and of the Smith-Hughes de partment are working on the gener al committee in charge. Detailed closing dates for exhi bits, time of judging, etc., will be announced In connection with pub lication of the premium list early in September, says Smith. Tentative nlans, however, call for exhibits to be received the first day of the corn- show week, following many county shows. O.S.C. students will assist in placing exhibits to be followed by judging—-all prior to the official opening of the show the Friday af ter Thanksgiving. An educational program will be held in connection with the show, and provisions are being made for 4-H clubs and 8mith-Hughes stu dents to hold judging contents. Results and exhibits of the O.S.C. hybrid corn growing contest will be shown in connection with the regu lar show. This contest included coat of production and rate of yield fig- urea. O f all bridges devised by m an kind to span rive rs, stream s, o r oth er na tu ra l breaks in the e a rth ’s sur face th a t obstruct m ovem ent, the type known as the arch bridge is the most graceful and the m ost a r tis tic . Perhaps also it is as ancient as any, w ith the possible exception of the single-span type o f bridge, fo r men were building arches back in neolithic tim es, w rite s John A. Menaugh in the Chicago Tribune. The principle of the arch has been known fro m very e a rly days. When men of the la te r Stone age discov ered th a t a wide opening could be spanned by leaning tw o stones to gether at its apex the firs t arch was made, and the ruins of such t r i angular arches s till are w idely found throughout the basin of the M e d ite r ranean. F rom these firs t arches the whole business o f building arch bridges—even down to modern tim es—developed. M any of the la rg e st and strongest bridges are b u ilt upon the p rin cip le of the arch, although iron, steel, and reinforced concrete have supplanted stone and tim b e rs of the e a rlie r types. I t was the em ploym ent of stone, however, that was responsible fo r the o rig in of the arch as applied to bridge building. Stone arches are constructed of rocks o r stones th a t are n a tu ra lly wedge shaped o r have been cut into wedges.
