Town gaily decorated and crowded with peopl,. occasion: Lakevlew's 14th annus! Round-up. Attendance tor the three daj. breaks all records for the 1 yesrs. Buianess reslly looking up over In this country. People not alrald to have a good time. THE Lakevlew Round-up Is South ern Oregon's modest rival of the big Pendleton show. But it la no Imitator of Pendleton. It has a fla vor all Its own. Pendleton 1 a big spectacle, mar velously staged; worth coming clear across the country to see. Just as a spectacle. It Is participated In ex tensively oy professionals, and has a distinctively professional atmosphere. Lawvlew is- closer to the grass roots. There are few professionals here. The show Is put. on by the boys from the surrounding ranches. M AT PENDLETON, horses aa well as riders run largely to profession als. They have long strings of edu cated buckere that do their stuff and do it well. The same horses appear year after year. . Here at Lakevlew there are no such trimmings. The stock, horses and cattle alike, la run In raw off the range and t.e desert. It la a real Wild West show. THI3 year a iotoV7he horses came in from the high desert country off to the southeast, down where Oregon, Idaho and Nevada come to gether. They are real wild horses, many of them never having seen a man before at least at close range. They were captured In traps wire fonces opening out like a fun nel tnJ leading down to corrals at the end. And listen to this: The wild horses were hazed Into these traps with AIRPLANES. Beat that If you can! THEY worked It like this: The traps were built, with their long fer.cea extending out Into the desert, and cowboys were concealed around the ends of these fences. Then the planes started circling. They circled over the sagebrush, awooplng low whenever a band of horses was sighted. The roar of the planes and the amazing spectacle of these huge birds threw the wild horses Into a panlo and of course they ran for all they were worth. Tin pilots skilfully guided them Into the mouth of the trap, and as soon as they entered It the cowboys closed in from behind, chivvying them into the corral. THEY tell this fate? One big stallion, guarding his harem of mares, raced along behind, looking up from time to time, wltti mingled fear and hatred In his eyes, at the pursuing plane. The pilot, wanting a good look at him, swooped low. As he did so, the stallion reared on his hind legs, his nostrils flaring red with anger and his teeth anapplng. and struck at the plane with his hoofs. There's life In the raw for you. M AND here'a another tale they tell: The circling planes, searching the desert floor for csndldates for the bucking arena, caught a cream colored flash In the sage and on dropping near sighted a stallion and his bsnd of maree. Now llaten to this: Every mem ber of the band. If the tale Is to be believed, was a PERFECT PALO MINO. A PALOMINO, you know, la a cream-colored horse with a white msne and tall. The stallion, they say, was clean Hmbtyl and beautiful, with unmis takable marks of breeding, and bis mares and colts showed the same clean outlines. Tell that one to the atory writers. THE bucking horses at Pendleton, at already stated. Include many profe.sional. whose attitude Is strict ly th- professional attitude. They put on a good show. But when the rider learea the sad dle the show. Is over and these pro fessional buckera calm down and permit themselves to be caught as tarn?' as a plow horse. No; o with the wild buckers.

(Pt A squadron of marine corps planes at Brown Field here was ordered this after noon to make ready to take off "at any minute" for the south In connection with the Cuban situ ation. The squadron was composed of 13 two-plnce observation planes and several auxiliary planes. When the orders came down to the hangars for the squadron to make full preparations, mechan ics Immediately began to mount machine guns on the upper wings and In the. rear cockpits. Motors were gone over and equip ment assembled. Pilots went to their quarters to assemble per sonal effects. By F. O. VO.SBI'RGII Associated Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON . Sept. 7. (AP) With the dispatch of 19 ' deatroyera bringing to 30 the armada of Ameri can war vessels to border Cuba, the American government stood ready to day to land marines and bluejacketa on tho first genuine threat to Amer ican citizens. At the same time there was reso lution against the momentuos step of taking over the Island's govern ment by armed Intervention. Effect Noticed Already tho psychological effect of American fighting vessels In sight off the coast was seen aa aiding in hold ing tho ltd on Vie cauldron which Cuba has become. Orders In the hands of the com maniers' of the destroyers, -cruisers and the one big battleship either en route to Cuban waters or already there were guarded closely, but It was understood the administration would not hesitate a moment In put ting armed men ashore to guard Americana and their property. Ample Precedent For such a course there was ample precedent. On several occasions In the last two decades small American forces have been landed when aud den revolt flared and Americana on their sugar properties or in their homes were placed In Jeopardy. In each Instance they were with drawn promptly when matters had settled down. Action of this type prompt and definite though It may be. Is regarded here as nothing like armed Intervention In which thou sands of marlnea or aoldlers are massed upon the Island to control It from tip to tip, -maintain order and administer' every governmental function. Government Must Act If a government capable of pro tecting life and property. Including the billion of American Investments la ever eatsbllshed by the Cuban people; nothing hinting of Interven Hon win be Invoked. Elglit navy and eight coast guard destroyers were ordered todBy from off tin east coast to Cuba. In addi tion, the Indianapolis was bearing Secretary Swanson there, and last night the destroyer Overton was sent from the Psnsma Canal rone to the Isle of Pines off the south Cuban coast to protect American lives there If necessary. Many wealthy Ameri cana have winter residences In the Isle of pines. (Continued on page Se7en) DEATHMYSCOTTY LOSES A FINGER AFTER LE TONOPAH. Ner., Sept. 7. (UP) Walter ("Death Valley Scotty") Scott, world famous desert eccentric, lost a finger today after a tussle with a wild "Qreaser broke" pack mule.

BY Pinal instructions for opening of the consumer pledge drive under the National Recovery Act program here were given, out this afternoon, when women from air parts of the city mfjt at the court house auditorium, pre paratory to a canvass, aimed to ac complish a 100 percent support of all firms, complying with the Recov ery act and President Roosevelt's Emergency Wage agreement. Attorney Don Newbury was the speaker of the afternoon and In stir ring language encouraged all women to get behind the drive, to work rap idly, and make thtlr reports to head quarters as soon as possible. President Roosevelt and Adminis trator Johnson, he Informed the enthusiastic gathering from the fem inine ranks, are anxious to obtain definite result from the National Recovery program, and are eager to see those results realised before the winter seta in. It la therefore the patriotic duty of every woman to lend her support to the program. Immediate action Is necessary In each angle of the program, In order that the results of the whole may be come known, Attorney Newbury de clared. The purposes of the National Re covery act were outlined again today by the speaker, who sent workers out last week on the employers drive, in which early and pleasing results were reported. Out of the 125,000,000 people in the United States there were 13,000, 000 unemployed last March 1, Mr. Newbury continued to draw a picture, which he declared must undergo changes before this coming winter arrives. "If unemployment Is not checked", he added, "It will be a local, as well aa a national calamity, instead of going down to defeat la numerous, separate, disorganized groups, let us go on to victory in one well organ ized army," he advised the women workers, "and aocompllsh the alma of the. National Recovery act.". E ROSBBT7RO, Ore., Sept. 7. (Pf Mrs. A. w.

FAMILY STRIFE BEF0I1ESLA1& State's Contentions of Sub terfuge to Evade Advances Are Refuted by Publisher From Witness Stand SAN JOSE, Ca!.. Sept. 7. (AP) Prosecution contentions that Mrs. David A. Lam son used subterfuge to evade amorous advances by her hus band and that he killed her with an Iron pipe because of marital discord were contradicted by Lamson on the witness stand .here today In his trial on murder charges. The denials were made after Dep uty District Attorney A. P. Lindsay had completed his long cross exami nation of the accused man. and Lam son had been turned over to his at torney, E. M. Rea, for redirect ques tioning. Subterfuge Denied Questioning Lamson about exhibits which the state Intimated were evi dence of subterfuge, Rea brought out that Mrs Lamson .had not used them for that purpose. Tho accused man contradicted the atory of Frank Taylor, an associate, who had quoted Lamson as saying there was discord in his Stanford university campus home and that he "did not care what happened." Lam son tcetlfied he had talked to Taylor about family affairs; had told him their Jlttlo daughter, Allene, was in need of mountain surroundings and that tho possibility of Mrs. Lamson getting work In a mountain resort and taking the baby with her had been discussed. Discrepancy Claimed The prosecution- -had - sought to show a discrepancy In Lamson 's story about what he did In his home the morning of May 30 Just before he emerged with the cry that his wife had been murdered. Lindsay asked him if he told Chief of Police H. A. Ztnk ho had first taken his sleeping clothes to a bed room before pass ing the bath room door and finding the body. Lamson said he had not told Zlnk that. In hta direct story Lamson said he found the body on his wa.7 to the bed room. Again Lindsay led the witness over the story of finding the body, ask ing for more details. The witness . again pleaded hla memory of the tragic hour was hazy and many times he said he did not remember or could not recall doing things suggested by the prosecution. Doctor Called The brief redirect examination ended Lamson 's siege on the stand and the defence called Dr. Charles M. Richards. Rea asked him If all the fractures on Mrs. Lamson'a hesd could have been caused by one fall. The btate objected. Judge H. R. Syer said there was a question of whether a witness could be allowed to answer a query which ml&ht be only within the pro vince of the Jury for an answer. A long legal argument followed, it waa not settled at the noon recess. PARIS. France. Bept. 7. (AP) Henri Cochet, France's leading tennis star, announced today he would play against Big Bill Tllden.

LEVY IN MEDFORD IN NEXT TAX YEAR The general levy for the city or Medford will be slightly lower this year than laat, la the forecast of the city budget committee, working stead ily this month to have recommenda tion ready for a Joint session with the council October 3, E. H. Janney, committee chairman, announced to day, ' The grand total of the general levy last year was $167,000. It will prob ably be $161,000 this year. This de crease la made possible by elimina tion of the emergency fund, Includ- I ed in laat year's budget and by the Important reductions accomplished during the past several months in all ! departments of city government in d alary cuts and purchase of supplies. The emergency fund Included in the j budget last yesr waa In excess of $2000. There will be no Important trim ming made this year, the committee believes, due to the fact that all de partments have adopted great econo mies. To maintain efficiency In city government, it would not be advisable to make any additional cut In the various departments. The budRet committee feels, Mr. Janney stated today, that the depart ment are all anxious to keep down the cost of government and are spending money only where it la found absolutely necessary. Should any extra money be delegated to a department, he further explained, the committee 1 confident it would not he spent If the necessity failed to arise. The budget committee, he added, will undoubtedly have its work com pleted within the next two weeka and be ready to make recommenda tions to the council. F R08EBURG. Ore., Sept. 7.

E E Urgent Call for More Search ers Sent Out From Mount Jefferson Use of Air plane Held Impractical PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. 7. (AP) An urgent call for additional search- era and word that high winds were ; still whirling new snow around the ; summit of Mount Jefferson dimmed ; the hope here today that three Port land men. missing on the treacherous mountainside since last Monday, would ever be found alive. New snow, the gale-like gust and heavy fog made climbing conditions hazardous, the party of eight experi enced mountain climbers who left hero Tuesday night reported, and prevented them from climbing high er than 9000 feet yesterday. At that height they were still several hun dred feet from the summit. Any tracks Davla McCamant, John Thomas and Don Burkhsrt, the laat trio all of Portland, may have left, were burled by fresh snow that fell during the blizzard that shrieked over the mountain late Monday and Tuesday. In the area the searchers were able to cover, no trace of the missing Portlanders was found. More Join Search In quick, response to the call for more searchers, a second party of 12 experienced climbers, many of them familiar with the Mount Jefferson area, left Portland Immediately, speeding by automobile toward Ol- lalle lake. They had been standing by since early this morning, pro- pared in any event to leave by 1 p. m The party planned to hike In from the lake to Jefferson Park, where the first searching group has established tta camp. Ray A. Atkeson, a member of the first party, .hiked from the park ten miles to the lake and the nearest phon to convey to Portland the first news oi the search. Snow Slows Travel ' "Wo found eight to fifteen Inches of new enow on the mountain," he said, "making travel slow and requir ing some step cutting. We looked Into all crevasses below the north rldg and proceeded on to the great Bergschrund below the 667-atep slope." That alope la a anow wall Immediately beneath the pinnacle of Motint Jefferson on the east side. "Moie men and food are urgently needed," he 'aald, "aa we have food only for through today. Weather" today la promising. Send in experi enced men, fully equipped for diffi cult mountain climbing. "Today we are searching White water glacier with two parties, one high, making for the summit, and, one on the lower part of the glacier." Atkeson advised against any at tempt to acan the area by airplane. Besides the hazard of sudden storms, he said, such a search would be Im practical, because new snow covers all objects above timber! lne, and If the mlASlng'men are lost in the tim ber they would not be visible from the air.

SABOTAGE SEEN First Faint Smudge of Back fire Laid by Die-Hards of Big Business Are Scented by Administrator Johnson By r.KOROF. iu:rno (Copyrighted by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) WASHINGTON. Sept. 7. The first faint smudges from powerful back fire against President Roosevelt's re covery program are beginning- to ap pear over the horizon. Alt evidence point to their having been surreptitiously ignited by die hard element in the realm of big business and high finance. Fortun ately these subterranean acts of so cial and economic sabotage are NOT being Inspired by a majority. The men heading America' biggest cor porations realize the nation must sink or ewlm with Mr. Roosevelt revolu tionary experiment. Unfortunately the financial strength of those behind this sniping la suf ficient to make Itself-felt to some degree. General Hugh Johnson, boss of N. R. A., ever sensitive to the smell of kindling charged with dynamite, was quick to detect this under cover de fection. He I resorting to the time honored custom of fighting fire with fire. The President haa oast the die. Johnson Intends to gamble boldly ' until we win our way out or he won't admit this possibility we lose badly. Even in some sections of the preu Johnson haa noted a trend that would Indicate the honeymoon Is over and he will flRht vigorously to gain each forward step. One of the most Influential met ropolitan newspapers In the east re- , cently editorially attacked tt. R. A. 'a proposal to boycott tradesmen who didn't display the Blue Eagle. On top of this came an editorial pro nouncement In a chain of papers that Johnson might better abandon his 'hard-boiled" tactics with poten tial but reluctant code-signers. And finally, formal Instruction went out from New York headquar ters of one of tha largest newa serr- (Condnued on Psge Two) IS AGREEMENT HINT DETROIT. Sept. 7. (AP) The utter absence of any outward indl catlona of concern among Ford Mo tor company executives over the NRA controversy Is adding strength to a growing belief that some kind of an agreement la expected, to bring Henry Ford under the blue eagle's banner. There waa, however, no hint of a formal announcement of policy, and no certainty that one would be forth coming when Ford returns, probably the last of the week, from hla Huron mountain camp where he haa re mained secluded for three weeka. Edsel Ford, president of the oom pany, already was back from hla va cation spent at Seal Harbor, Me., but hla return developed nothing to clarify the situation. WILL ROGERS BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., Sept. 6. See some of the papers are kinder excited over "What will Nonry Ford doJ" Well that's the least thing we ' got to worry about nowadays. He will do better by labcr than anybody else, so that's good , enough. There is only one drawback to this "buying in September"; women with charge accounts and sending stuff on approval. They will do a lot of Septem ber buying but Lord help Octo ber when they start to return ing the clothes because they didn't look good at the party.
