SUN­ DAY MARRED BY CHILL; SNAP­ PY FIGHT CARD IS ENJOYED FRIDAY NIGHT. Wind and October chill made it dif­ ficult for cowboys to rope calves and bulldog steers at the Sunday program of the first Nyssa Round-up, sponsored by the Eagles lodge, but those who a t­ tended the Saturday show saw a good program. Hank Leslie of Nyssa, who formerly worked for Quinn-Roblbns, made a record when he threw his steer In 9 and four-fifths seconds, bettering the 11 and four-fifths seconls of Price Baker, another star at the show. Leslie lead In calf roping with time 18 sec­ onds Saturday. Jack Bell of Nampa took; the purse for bronc riding on Snowball. Fans saw a number of vicious broncs who con­ quered th?ir riders, among them Straw­ berry Roan, a horse owned by Felton Duncan, that was a real bucker. Larry Daniels, Slim Young, Holloway Grace, Tom Bride, Oral Zumwalt, Canada Kid, Guy Cash, Earl Thode, Bob Wald- er, Ralph Stanton, and Buck Wheeler were among the entertainers at the rodeo. The Eagles Auxiliary served the free barbecue on Saturday. Opening the program, an excellent fight card was enjoyed by a large crowd at the! Eagles hall on Friday night. In the main event Kid Weston from Nampa found a tough contender in Sleepy Blaunt of Baker who carried a terrific punch. Weston showed his skill in missing them for the most part of six rounds and landed a few of his famous quick jabs with the result that Referee Grover Francis called it a draw —much to the delight of fans. Young Ab Parrish thrilled his home town fans by giving Toughie Burke of Caldwell a thorough thumping. Both boys are favorites here. Jack Fellows from Caldwell won easily from Don D: ..per of Payette in the semi-flnr.ls. Through the KO route Wendell Grow of Nampa won from Buddy Ed­ wards of Nyssa in the fifth round. In a fast little opener, Norman Leavitt took young Brooks into camp although no decision was announced. Red Baird and Red Nic'iols cles'ied to furnish another sizzling bount that kept fans on their toes.

NYSSÁ, OREGON FIRST PAYMENT IS MADE ON CORN-HOG CONTROL; WHEAT PAYMENT DUE SOON. SHALL COUNTY PAY THREE-CENT RABBIT BOUNTY? BRUMBACH SAYS PRESENT ONE CENT BOUNTY IS SUFFICIENT; QUESTION WILL BE DECIDED AT BUDGET MEETING NOV. 1st. Do the taxpayers of Malheur county desire a one-half mill tax, to be levied by the county court, for the purpose of creating a fund for a 3-cent bounty on Jackrabbits? If they desire such a tax, or oppose it, they are requetsed to send in their vote on the proposition, to­ gether with their address to County Judge David F. Graham. A final decision on the proposition will be made at the county budget meeting in Vale November 1st. To state that he Is against a 3-cent bounty, Commissioner E. H. Brumbach of Big Bend stopped at The Journal office Monday. He contends that a bounty of 1 cent, the amount paid at present, Is sufficient for the work In­ volved. He believes effective rabbit con­ trol work will continue throughout the county on this basis—and will cost the taxpayers but one third the cost under the higher bounty plan. He stated that farmers should be sufficiently Interest­ ed In rabbit control to eradicate them for the 1-cent bounty. County Agent R. G. Larson is dis­ tributing $16,000 to ranchers of Mal­ heur county this week end, who partici­ pated in the com-hog control program Nyssa growers received $2000.
