Of the National City Bank of New

ROUNDUP SIGN IS
LARGEST ON COAST

Pendleton can now boast the larg-
est painted sign on the Pacific coast,
according to the Foster x Kleiscr
artists who yesterday finished the
sign on the back Of the grandstand
at Roundup Park and their opinion
Is a worthy one because their COM
pany is the largest of its kind in the
west. The new sign is 500 feet in
length and 90 feet wide, giving it an
area of 60OO square feet
The largest sign in Portland only
covers little over 1000 square feet
while in California cities have NONE
/ larger.
The painting of the Roundup
sign took just five days and was done
! in a most artistic manner. Besides
the words Roundup" and the dates
of the next show, there are two
scenes depicting wild west life, one @
picture of a buclling broncho Will
the buster riding him straight up ant
the other a steer being jerked of
his feet just after being roped.
\ picture was taken of the back o
the grandstand yesterday just as thu
finishing stroke of the paint brusl
was being given and the figure of tn,
man against the sign shows someth
ing of the size of the latter.

SMALL GRAIN CROP IN UMATILLA COUNTY
'-,''' IS BIGGEST IN HISTORY, Says EXPERT

barring accidents the state should
give forth its greatest grain crop.
Even the bumper of a few years ago
will be surpassed if nothing happens
to mar the good work"
Mr.. Cohen also stated that in his
opinion there would be a great in
crease in the output In practically
all Of the grain centers of the north
west.
while there are spots where the
yield will not be heavy" he said, the
output still will be somewhat more
than in 1910.
mot only will there be a heavier
crop, but the quality of the grain
promises we'll from a milling point
of view. There are few reports of
smut to alarm either buyers or SELL
ers this season, and this fact alone
will insure a greater marketing than
during the past two seasons, when
smut was shown in abundance in even
the best districts.
There is no doubt that If the re-
cent rains had fallen a few weeks
earlier the entire Pacific northwes
would have produced such a heavy
crop that the railroads would hav,
experienced difficulty In moving i
promptly.
mot only is there an enormous
showing of wheat this season, but thu
| output of alfalfa is almost double
that of any recent season.
"This, together with very goo'
! promise for the price, ought to max
farmers much more optimistic thai
| ever before"

FREDER|CKS PERJURED
SELF, SAYS DARROW
MADE FALSE AFFIDAVIT
IN EXTRADITING M'NAMARA
Attorneys For Defense Declare Judge
Bordwcll Has No Jurisdiction in
Case of Accused Men.

Los Angeles, July Tn his open
ing statement today Attorney Clar-
ence Darrow declared that District
Attorney Fredericks swore falsely,
when he made the affidavit that John
Mcnamara was a fugitive from jus
tice and asserted that the eXtradition
of Mcnamara was a "dastardly crime"
without parallel and was really kid
naping.
When Judge Bordwelrs court re-
convened this morning the position
of the defense in the Mcnamara case,
regarding their plea as to the juris-
diction of the court, was further de-
Tended by Attorneys Darrow and
Scott.
They attempted to show that John
McNamara's case is different from
every other case ever passed upon
by the supreme court.
1t Is unlikely that Judge Bordwell
will pass on the plea of the defense,
concerning his own jurisdiction, for
several days.
Attorney Darrow argued that even
though the court did have jurisdiction,
to try the case, that Mcnamara could
be tried only for the crime for which
he was eXtradited from Indiana to
California namely: that of having at
tempted to place a charge of dyna-
mite at the Llewellyn iron works,

Young Woman Declares Presidents
Relative Swayed Chief Executive
in Alaskan Coal Case.

Washington, July THAT Charles
Taft, brother of President Taft was
the means whereby the Morgan-Gug-
genheim interests inGuced the presi-
dent to grant them the Controller
Bay lands, which gave the syndicate
a strangle hold on the rich Alaskan
coal fields, is the gist of a story cir
culated in official .circles today.
The story resulted from an inquiry
made by Miss NJ. F. Abbott, who as
serted that Richard Ryan, represent
ing the Guggenheims obtained the
rights to Controller Bay.
She asserted that she found a post
script of letter from Ryan to Rich
ard a. Ballinger, who was then sec
retary of the interior. In the letter,
she claims, Ryan says he talked to
| the president but made no impression
He then had Charles Taft to do the

claim was made thereafter. The

CHINA TAKES FIRST DRASTIC STEP IN
EFFORT TO EXTERMINATE TRAFFIC IN OPIUi

Pekin. July As a result Of the
extraordinary agitation by Chinese
anti-opium societies, the Imperial
senate today enforced the first act
looking to the ultimate drastic ex-
termination OF the drug i'm China. The
measure effective today prohibits the
er-proviulial transportation Of
opium. The planting of the seed and
the smoking of opium will be under
the ban of the law after the first OF
next year. The aid of the powers
has been sought TO prevent the inn
portatiou into China of opium from
India ana other countries.
Among Chinese officials there /.
al evident earnest desire to put an
end to the use of the deadly drug
which is rapidly sapping the energy
/ and vitality of the Chinese, but there
/ is a disposition TO disbelieve in the
good faith of the Christian powers
( that have joined to aid China in the
warfare on opium. The Chinese
/ have not forgotten that it was these
same Christian powers that intro
duccd opium into China, along with
missionaries Of the white deviPs' re-
ligion. and that when China protest.
ed against the hellish traffic the guns

is addicted to opium the spirit OF oc-
cidental progress that is now swoop-
ing over the empire will remain
powerless to accomplish the great
ambition to make China a world
power

Predicting that the grain yield Of
UmatiIa county would considerably
surpass the bumper gathering of last
wear and declaring that the reserva-
tion farm lands would produce a 100
per cent crop, Hyman II. Cohen, COM
mercial editor of the Portland Jour-
nal and q recognized market expert
returned Yesterday afternoon from
trim over the county. you Fellows
are too conservative In your stories,'
he said. "You have the best stand
of grain in the country and yet you
hesitate about saying that you will
have the biggest crop in history.
"The crop in oregon will not show
the great increase as noted in WASH
ington." he went on to say, because
the total acreage there is small as
compared with that in this section
However. the showing in Umatilla
county Is especially noticeable. In
this section the acreage Is practically
10 per cent greater than during 1910,
and this, together with an increase IN
the prospective yield per acre, will in
sure for Umatilla county much
heavier output than in 1910.
"The wheat on the Umatilla reser-
vation is the finest ever grown; In
fact. 1t could be called 100 per cent
crop. both in quality and quantity
In the lighter land sections of UNA
tilla county the showing is naturally
not as good as in the heavier soil, bu
nevertheless, there Is marked i'm

PASCO REMAINS WET
BY LANDSLIDE VOTE

BY vote of 546 to 121 the people

the majority there being two to- one

At Pasco considerable agitation
had been aroused over the wet and
dry fight and vigorous campaign
was waged by the adherents on both
sides. 1t was generally predicted that
the dry forces would show greater
strength than they did.
There were $50 voters registered
for the election at Pasco and there
fore it is evident that despite the in
