CHINESE REBELS
MAKE ASSAULT
ON CRENG TUJU
Many American Missionaries
In Danger of Being
Slaughtered.

Pekin, Sept. luxurious fighting
on the walls of Cheng Tuju is report
ed today. About two thousand
loyal Chinese troops repulsed series
of assaults by the rebels from posi-
tions on the walls. Hundreds Of
American and British missionaries
are refugees within the city and it
is feared that lives are endangered
unless the troops can hold out until
reinforcements arrive.
The Canadian Methodist compound
within the city has open spaces
around its own walls. It is believed
that the foreigners have taken refuge
within this compound, which is con-
sidered the strongest and most easily
defended. Peking missionaries who
have been in former riots in Cheng
Tu say that whatever Chinese troops
were dispatched to guard the mission
would be stationed outside the COM
pound and would not be permitted to
get within the gates.
Whether the foreigners and the
natives inside the walls are prepared
to endure q siege IS not known. The
question of supplies is all important
and il is probable. from past expert
ences, that the missionaries have TAX
en- precautions against such con
tinEeucy. The missionaries. however
have DO weapons, unless they have
( been supplied by the viceroy. Every
effar, is being made to communicate
with Cheng Tu, but so far there ha.
been no movement to relieve the city

began promptly at 1880 o'clock this
afternoon and from that moment on,
the time was filed with spectacular,
thrilling, periious features, performed
by man and beast, with the former
matching skill and strength against
the fierce. untamed and Internal ma
ture of the latter.
Lined up across the track, direct
ly in front of and facing the grand
stand, hundreds of gorgeously garbed
and superbly mounted cowgirls and
cowboys faced the massive audience,
retiring at the beginning of the show
to various places around the Round
Up park in order that the series of
battles between horse and man, and
man and bovine. and wild west ex-
hibitions might be staged.
Just back of the line of mounted
performers the Indian village adds a
decided color to the frontier effect Of
the greatest reproduction of the West
that was that has ever been attempt
ed.
Before the show was well under
way, Governor Oswald West, mount
ed a charger on which the Hamley
saddle, first prize in the wild horse
race, was being exhibited and rode
around the arena, acknowledging the
outbursts of the spectators.
In an exhibition of steer ropings
Buffalo Vernon roped and tied his
animal in minute, ~ 1-2 seconds.
Fancy roping by a dozen masters OF
the lariat. drew from the crowds a
vast outburst of appreciation.
The three contestants in the bulls
dogging contest had a continual round
OF ir-luck when they entered into
their game. and little was accomplish.
ed The first to attempt 10 throw
steer by inserting his teeth in the lip
of the animal was Glenn Cox. The
steer jumped the fence and Cox fol-
| lowed but failed to throw the AMI
NAL. Dell Blanchette made $
| spectacular capture of his animal d.
rectly in front of the grandstand, but
! failed to throw the animal and himself
sustained an ugly cash on the face, in

falo Vernon had the same luck as did
the first man, the animal he was to
have "bull-dogged" aiso leapng the
fence Just as he had taken hold.
Thrilling riding exhibitions were
given by Jason Stanley. brother of the
great Dick Stanley. and also Dell
Blanchette. each performing perilou;
feats on the backs or their mount.,
and winning loud applause.
Mrs Dell Blanchette, champion
woman bro ncho buster of the world,
rode a vicious animal, until she had
conquered II ana was wildly cheered.
The grand parade, in which nearly
three hundred cowgirls and cowboys
and fifty Indians galloped about the
arena, lacked nothing to make Z 2

GOV. WEST GUEST
OF PENDLETON
DURING ROUNDUP
Visits Asylum Site and Is
Well Pleased With
Location.

Delighted with the beautiful, bright
weather and anticipating a thrilling
time at the Roundup Governor Os-
wald West arrived this morning from
Portland, accompanied by Mrs. West.
1t Is the first occasion on which the
governor has visited Pendleton, ac-
companied by Mrs. West, as all pre-
vious visits were made on hurried
trips to the branch asylum grounds
or during campaign times.
Owing to the fact that he has been
out of doors much of the time during
the summer months, Governor West
has a coat of tan that gives him a
ruddy look and might cause him to
be mistaken by some for a bunchgrass
cattleman or some rider of the plains
Pleased With Asylum.
Early this morning the governor
made a trip of inspection to the
asylum grounds and inspected the
work now being done. He expressed
pleasure with the progress of the
work thus far and says that he has
confidence both in the Montana firm
that has the contract TOT construct
ing the asylum buildings and also in
the Newport con'truction company
which is to begin Monday upon the
building Of the levee.
"It was necessary for US to take
considerable time urr-.~r aut tle
plans for the branch asylum" said

LA GRANDE'S JUST KICK.

| According to the announcement OF
the census bureau La Grande has a
population of 4,s4S. This announce
ment is taken as a joke by the La
Grande papers. The Observer de-
clares the figures are far below what
they should be and makes some caus-
tic comments regarding the work of
the enumerators. In support of the
claim that the figures are too low IT
is shown that they are 500 below the
figures of the state census taken five
years ago.
However, La Grande people should
not complain too much. They are
getting off light. If reports now in
~:-crlation are true Mr.. Durand will
make Pendletons population at least
1000 less than under the showing of
the state census. 1t is quite evident
that the government enumerators did
not make a full count.

EVEN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

Most people know something OF
railroad participation in politics in
New Hampshire through having read
Winston Churchills novels. Though
he wrote fiction the noted author evil
IDENTIFY ran close to the fact in this line
for New Hampshire has been noted
as railroad dominated state. In
this respect New Hampshire has been
the California of New England.
But New Hampshire, like Califor-
mia, is throwing off the yoke. \ rail-
road commission bill is one of the
measures before the legislature this
winter and the mere fact that such
move is considered is arousing
much comment. 1t is the second SEN
sation along this line that has been
sprung recently. The first was an
announcement by President Mellin OF
the Boston & Maine railroad that his
road would go out of politics and at
tend to its own business strictly. He
doubtless had good reasons for max
ing that announcement.
All over the country people are op-
posing corporation control of politics.
They are fast learning that to get the
best results the states must control
the corporations; the corporations
must not be allowed to control the
states.

A SCHEME THAT WILL FAIL.

If he could do SO Jay Bowerman
would like to heckle Governor West
and the other members of the pres
ent progressive" state board. In
his retiring message as acting COVER
nor he urged the creation of a state
board of control. Opposing this
scheme the Journal offers the fol-
lowing pertinent comments upon the
same:
What does he propose for the
governor to do? What the secretary
Of state? What the state treasurer q?
These three with, in some cases, the
state superintendent of public in
struction, now have charge of the
state institutions. The conduct of
these institutions is a chief part of
what they have to do. 1t is one of
the main things they are elected to
dc. They are at the capital, they are
the trusted agents of the people chos-
en- for the purpose, and are best fit
ted to conduct the state institutions.
In taking the care of the institutions
away from them, does the acting gov
ernor, retired, propose for them Mere
IL to play golf and draw salaries?
I'm arguing for his board of con-
troll Mr.. Bowerman says, There is
neither reason nor justification for
the present method of managing state
affairs Is there reason or justifi-
cation for Mr.. Bowerman's plan?
Why create another board to man
age affairs for the management of
which there is already an excellent
board? In what way would new
board be superior to the existing
board? Why have more officials and
more salaries? Why have two boards
when one will do?
The public has the right to ex-
pect and demand that public money
be expended with the same tudicious
care exercised by an ordinarily pru-
dent business man. says Senator
Bowerman, as a clinching arbument
for his proposed double-headed gov
ernment at Salem. Exactly 80, and
that is why the public objects to
scheme Of having two boards do
what can better be done by one. 1t
Is also why the public objects to the
appointment by Mr.. Bowerman Of a
superintendent for an eastern Ore
gon asylum two years before the
asylum was completed, and to the
payment Of a salary in an office in
which there are no duties"
1t is evident that Bowerman would
like to "get even" with Governor West
by taking power from him and in
vesting it in a new board of control
But 1t will be surprising II the legls-
lature takes up with the Bowerman
plan. 1t is not a businesslike plan
. as the Journal points out. Besides
the legislature is controlled by the
progressives. not by the Bowerman
contingent.
