THE FORESTRY GUY.

A knightly figure amid the green,
In khaki, 1nstead of mail;
A face of bronze and a vision keen,
Quick hoofbeats upon the trail;
A home in the saddle through Ions,
long days.
A bed meath the evening sky:
Who is it that travels the silent WAYS
He's only a forestry guy.
A camp on the heights where the
snowbank's CLEAN,
A packhorse that's grazing near;
No sound, save the endless song OF
the stream
The world sends no echo here;
A figure is bathed in the sunset fires
Who dwells in these peaks so high
Who travels amid these granite
spires?
He's only a forestry guy.
A tendrill of smoke in the valley vida,
And a flame that is famed by the
breeze;
A breakneck dash down the mountain
side,
And fight for the living trees:
A fight that is won-though the price
is dear,
And the flames scar before they die;
Who is it that jousts thus with dea Il
each year?
He's only a forestry gay
Chapman in the Denver Re-
publican.

Announcement OF the wedding was

NO NEED Of HUMANE
LAWS FOR ROUNDUP

II seems from Salem dispach in
the Portland Journal last evening
that the humane society Of the Capital
! City is fostering a move to secure leg
islation placing broncho busting in
the same category as prizefighting,
Shus making it illegal all over the
state because some eastern Oregon
| cowboys attempted to give wild
west show in that city with broken
down nags instead of real Outlaws. 5"
I Such q movement, Il there really is
a movement, is of interest to Pendle-
| ton for its successful elimination
would vitality affect the Roundup.
However, the Roundup directors
are not borrowing any worry or los
ing any sleep over the Salem story
They say that if the facts are as rep
resented in the dispatch, they do not
censure the humane officers for hav-
ing the cowboys arrested, but they de-
clare that body of Legislators would
hardly kill a popular sport simply
because in some instances it is char
acterized by alleged cruelty.
There is a vast difference" said
Secretary Gwinn this morning, in
the rough riding exhibition held at
Salem and the broncho busting at the
Roundup. Here our wild horses are
the best specimens which the ranges
produce and they are full of life and
vigor. Besides, for several weeks
prior to the show, we will keep these
horses up so that they will be fresh
for the bucking contests and it will not
require any spurring to get them to
buck. The association will not coun-
tenance brutality for it is an unneces-
sary element at our show"
The cowboys who are putting on
the exhibitions in the Willamette val
ley are peter smith, r. Wilson, Frank
Rupp, John Muir and W. T. Lay, all Of
whom claim to be from eastern ore
gon When asked if the crusade
against broncho busting might inter
fere with the Pendleton Roundup
they declared, according to the dis
| patch, that anyone attempting to go
into Pendleton to stop the favorite
! Roundup sport would be lassoed and
1 dragged through the streets"
