More and more bold are becoming
the crooks who have swarmed to
Pendleton to make a harvest during
the Roundup. Last night at least
two homes in the city were entered,
those of w. H. Jones on east Lewis
street and Clifford L. Morgan on
Cosbie. Both of the robbers We're
discovered but the discovery at the
Jones home was not made until the
thief had secured Mr.. Jones hand
some gold watch.
At the Morgan home, the thief had
secured entrance through side door
about eight o'clock when Mrs. Nor
gan stepped out to the woodshed, She
and her hired girl were alone in the
house and shortly after O'Clock the
big Scotch collie owned by Roscoe
johnson began to whine and bark
through the house. Having in mind
the recent burglaries, the two ladies
became nervous and finally decided
to make an investigation. Entering
her bedroom, Mrs. Morgan noticed
that her closet door was closed and,
plucking up courage, she seized the
knob and attempted to open the door

FILE PROTEST IN EFFORT TO BLOCK
WORK OF PAVING JACKSON STREET

In final effort to block the pro-
posed paving of Jackson street, Will
Moore, representing about twenty-five
property owners on that thorough
fare, yesterday evening shortly be-
fore the expiration of the time limit
filed remonstrance against the pro-
posed improvement. While it is not
known just what percentage of the
property in the proposed district Is
represented on the remonstrance, it
is said that it amounts to but little
over fifty per cent, considerably less
than necessary to block the work
should the council wish to continue
proceedings A meeting of that body
will be held tonight to consider the
remonstrance.
While the opposition forces have
been busy in working up anti-paving
sentiment, the proponents of the work
have been manifesting some activity

WHEN they DISCOVER INTRUDER

1t refused to open, however. but when
Mrs. Morgan made a second effort, 1t
was suddenly burst open and the form
of a man sprang out from the dark
recesses. Apparently he was fright
ened and Mrs. Morgan declares there
is no question that she and the girl
was and all three scattered for the
exits.
An investigation revealed that
nothing had been taken from the
house. the thief evidently having slip
ped into the closet to hide until all
was quiet when he would have ram
sacked the house. However he had
taken one of Mr.. Morgan's Savage
rifles into the closet with him and
it was found there by Mrs. Morgan.
The thief who entered the Jones
residence. which was just purchased
last week from DR.. Swinburne had
not proceeded far with his work be-
fore he aroused Mrs. Jones. He was
in their bedroom at the time and was
going through the clothes OF the
sleeping man. When Mrs. Jones
awoke she screamed and the thief
ran but he took with him Mr.. Jones'
valuable ticker.

With the first nights attendance
SURPRISING that for the same night
year ago, the district fair is now full
ly underway and will serve to enter
tain the crowd until the Roundup
and during the evenings of the
Roundup days.
Last night lively throng gather
ed within the pavilion to listen to De
Caprio's band and incidentally to
view the exhibit booths. The people
are apparently less interested in the
fair than formerly, being drawn here
this year largely by the Roundup.
Nevertheless, much interest is taken
in the horticultural displays and the
exhibits by the fish and gace COM
mission arouse enthusiasm on the part
of everyone.
A Fine Ranch Exhibit.
one of the best booths within the
whole pavilion and one that is a fine
demonstration of the agricultural
possibilities of Umatilla county is
that Of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Ogilvy
of Pilot Rock They have booth
showing products of their ranch To-
Gated near Pilot Rock and at an alti-
tude of 1920 feet. The display con-
sists of fruits, vegetables, grains and
grasses grown upon the ranch. Also
fine assortment of canned fruits,
jellies. etc. All told 1l3 varieties of
products are shown. 1t is a larger
assortment than can be boasted by
some of the community exhibits.

the fair last year and captured the
prize for the best and largest single
display of products. They are after
the same honors this year and will
no doubt win again.
The livestock exhibit this year has
proven a disappointment. Apparent
" the Roundup has overshadowed
this department of the fair. Were ii
not for the splendid exhibit of game
birds by the state fish and game COM
mission and the poultry exhibit the
livestock pavilion would be a lone

"As far as 1 am concerned, l will
lose nothing" says Mr. Gordon, be.
cause 1 wanted to bring my horses
up here for the other fairs. But the
livestock exhibit is neglected and with
the situation as at present it does no

90 CONTESTANTS ENTER FOR EVENTS

With 90 cowboys and cowgirls
entered for the various contest, the
entry books for the third annual
Roundup were closed last evening
and will only be opened to fill those
events in which there are not suffici-
ent entries.
The bucking contest and wild horse
race proved to be the two most pop
ular events, there being 45 burkarooes
entered in each of these contests. The
maverick race was a close third with
40 and the poor steer which is pur-
sued in this race bids fair to become
so entangled in "A net work of lariats
that there will be no eXtrication for
it. In the steer roping contest there
are 25 entries, Is in the bulldogging.
% in the cowboys cowpony race, 80
in the barrel race, two in the cow
girls cowpony race, five teams in
the potato race, five teams in the tug
of-war and six entrants in the stand
ing cowboy race.
One of the best events will be the
pony express race inasmuch as ten
different cowboys have signed to par
ticipate in this spectacular event. In
the girls relay race, Ella La Zinka,
the Pendleton girl, and Bertha Blan-
cett the rider of bucking bronchos,
are pitted against each other again
Both of these have won the three day
race once and the outcome of this
years race will determine which is to
keep the silver trophy cup. -Four
cowboys, Jack Joyce, Bert Kelly
Braden Gerking and Jason Stanley
are entered in the mems relay race
and. as each is an old hand at the
business, the event promises to b'
hotly contested.

Little Rock, Ark, Sept. 24.-The
opening of the lakes-to-the- gulf deep
waterways association is in conven-
ton here today. President William
kavanaugh declared the lakes-to-the-
gulf canal will prove of more benefit
to the country than the Panama ca
nal. He said that after the Panama
canal is completed the machinery us
ed in its construction ought to be
transferred to the United States and
used in the deepening of the Missis-
sippi river and other streams. He as
serted that making a great waterway

lower the cost of living throughout
most of the country.

10000 People Hear Bryan.

Fresno. Cal, Sept. 24.-More than
so, 900 people heard Colonel Bryan
eulogize Wilson and denounce Taft
and Roosevelt here today.
II will speak of Taft, the president
who is, of Roosevelt, the president
who has been. and Wilson. the presi-
dent who Is to be-" said Bryan.
Taft. a unique figure in political
life, came into power four years ago
by million majority. He goes out
by unanimous consent. AS to Roose-
welt he comes as reformer of the
eleventh hour not as a penitent prod
igal, not to turn states evidence
against his former associates, but with
the demands that he be made prose-
cutting attorney and placed in charge
of the case"
Roosevelt says the trusts are here
to stay and that all we can do is reg
ulate them but he is unwilling to let
them be regulated by the people or
by congress or by the courts but de-
mands that they be regulated by
bureau to be appointed by the presi-
dent-and he wants to be president

TED" A DIES.

Lloyd f. Work of Chicago, a former
Brookings boy, sends us the following
notice from a Chicago paper of the
death of Ted" Leary, who will be
we'll remembered by the older resi-
dents of BroOkings. He was the son
of Captain Peter Leary, who was com
mandant at the college for several
years. The item says:
"Despatches from Los Angeles an
nounced last night the death from
tuberculosis of Teddy" Leary, known
from coast to coast as an able news
paper and theatrical man.
Born in Baltimore about thirty
eight years ago, he was the scion of
a famous military family, his father
having been one of the most noted
warriors in the United States army.
Starting his newspaper career in
Baltimore, Mr.. Leary later went to
New York where he made an envi-
ableable name for himself. Coming to
Chicago he was connected for a time
with one Of the local papers and then
became manager of Bush Temple.
He returned to Baltimore to accept
an editorial position on a paper in that
city and several years ago embarked
wholly in the theatrical business with
the Dillingham; forces. He was last
in Chicago with the Excuse Me" Com.
pany. At that time he was in very
poor health and went direct to Los
Angeles where he entered a santa
rum"
