GIVES TALK ON
GRADUATED TAX

An audience that packed the city
hall assembly room to capacity lis
tened last night to Francis Nelson,
member of the British parliament,
and his associate, j. w. Bengough,
Of Toronto talk on the subject OF
single tax.
Mr.. Nelson Is a speaker with much
personal magnetism and Is an earnest
talker. a large portion of his ad-
dress was devoted to the tax reforms
In Enr n I'd and Canada. He told OF
conditions in Britain prior to the
Lloyd George regime and of how the
workers were bound under the weight
of the burdens imposed. The adop-
ton of single tax he declares has
greatly aided the country; has had
the effect of breaking up great he
riditary estates and puts the enor-
nous expense Of maintaining the ar
my and navy upon new basis. The
tax is not on industry but upon the
capital value of land.
Assessor c. p. Strain presided at
the meeting last night as at the an
ti-single tax meeting the night pre-
vious. He explained that he does not
uphold the graduated tax measure
but believed in free discussion and
there welcomed the distinguished
speaker.
Cartoonist Bengough, who followed
the Nelson address, illustrated his
talk with some very skillful cartoon
work in which he ridiculed absurdi-
ties in the taxation system and up
held the land tax as the natural tax.
Replying to statements made the
night previous by Charles II. Shields
he declared the purpose of the grad
uated tax measure is not to confis-
cate land and that the enactment OF
the graduated tax bill will aid all who
hold land which they work and will
hurt only those who hold idle land or
land purchased for speculative pur-
poses.

CANAL TO OPEN
OCT. IS, 1918

Washington, Sept 19.-Revised es-
mission set October Is, 1913 as the
date on which the first vessel will
pass through the new waterway.
The amount expended on the ca
nal so far has been $2S3,S74,O0O. 1t
is estimated that when the first ves-
sci sails through the canal the cost
will not exceed $400,000,000, perhaps
not $4,000. 900. Formal opening
will take place January /, 1915. The
canal will not be used for commercial
purposes till December /, 1913.
The reason the canal will not be
used for commercial purposes till De-
cember. 1913, is that numerous tests
of the locks and gates will be made
TO ensure perfect working before
large vessels will be allowed to pass
through. 1t was announced that all
the navies of the world will be in
vited TO participate in the formal
opening ceremonies. President Taft
is expected to attend in person and
practically the entire navy Will be
mobilized at the gates between the
oceans.
The commission announced that
2IS,000, 900 cubic yards of earth had
been excavated up to September 10.
Twenty-four million cubic yards are
yet to be excavated. The canal will
be so miles long from deep water of
the Pacific to the deep water of the
Atlantic. The minimum depth will
he Al feet.

new GIRL RIDER
HERE FOR SHOW

She can ride some" That's the
way people who have seen her ride
speak of Hazel Walker, the buck
arooess' who arrived last night to
compete with Tillie Baldwin. Blanche
McGaughey and Bertha Blancett for
the title of worlds champion lady
broncho buster during the Roundup.
Her husband Frank c. Walker, has
been here several days and, though
he admits he is of secondary import
ance to his little wife. he declares he
is going To make the other cowboys
hustle i'm several events.
Hazel Walker is a Los Angeles girl
Yes. We use the term girl ad
visedly for if Hazel is out of her
teens then she possesses what forty
three out of forty-four women would
rather have than jewels. namely the
charm which makes her look young
er than she is. She is a country girl,
too, and was almost born in the sad
die, but it is only within the last
year that she has been riding bucking
bronchoes. Nevertheless, she can
ride some" for proof of which
statement read the following account
of one of her performances in a Cal
gary paper;
Hazel Walker, a California girl
riding Black Trot. gave an exhibition
of nerve and horsewomanship that
will be REMEMBERED long by those who
saw it. Leaping into the saddle as
soon as it was cinched. the Native
Daughter had bad five minutes with
her horse which started off by
breaking away from the handlers and
with the blindfold still on. Rearing
backwards and falling and slipping
on the wet grass, and squealing with
rage. the outlaw attempted to throw
the girl. Three times he fell and
when he regained his feet. Miss Walk
er was always in the saddle. The
fourth fall. however, found the plucky
girl rider pinned beneath the animal
and although bruised and suffering
from the effects of the fall. when the
cowboys got the animal to its feet
again Miss Walker mounted him and
rode him until the last buck was
gone. With flapping sombrero fam
ming his side. her Quirt rising and
falling rhymically on his flanks, the
slim slip of a girl never gave in and,
when the horse finally broke and
ran. the grandstand surged to its feet
to cheer the plucky girl rider"
Today she has been riding about
the streets with her husband dressed
in her picturesque purple costume
sombrero and riding boots.
Her husband is product of Ken

WESTWARD HO TO
BE BIG PARADE
= <<><<<~>>~~~>~<<

Though little has been said this
year In the general talk about the
Roundup about the Westward Ho
Parade, there have been a few men
who have been doing great deal Of
thinking, planning and hard work in
preparing for this, perhaps the most
picturesque and spectacular feature Of
the annual frontier show. Fred
Earle, director in charge of the pa
rade, with the assistance of his COM
mittee members. Sam II. Thompson,
Dean Tatom and John Mumm has
been quietly preparing for a pageant
that will eclipse anything of its ma
ture ever held in the northwest.
Just at present the committee Is
not disclosing the different features
which are to be in the Westward Ho
parade but 1t is sufficient to say that
every phase of frontier life will be de-
picted and that the parade will be
more than two miles in length.
Everybody Invited.
To make the pageant as big as
possible, the committee is extending
a general invitation to every man,
woman and child in Pendleton who
has a horse or can buy. borrow, beg
or steal one, to join in the line of
march. The various members have
been so busy that they have been un-
able to see individually all of the
horsemen and women but want it un-
derstood that a personal invitation is
extended to each not only to ride in
the parade on Saturday but to ride
in the grand march each day of the
Roundup.
The parade will form on west Alta
street as last year. Anyone wishing
to make any special arrangements or
desiring further information may see
Mr.. Earle at the Peoples Warehouse.
Chairman Earle and Sam Thomp-
son appeared before the council last
evening and secured permission to
rope off the streets during the time
the parade passes in order to keep the
crowds back.

Y. w. C. A. Secretary Tells Of
Work Done and Needs
of Honolulu

A large number of the teachers who
have come here this fall. and the old
IICnoluIu residents gathered AT the
Parish HOugc of Central Union
Church yesterday afternoon in re-
spouse to the invitation Of the WO-
mans Society.
The large reception room Of the
Parish House was a verifable bower
of green pepper branches, while
large vases and jardinnieres Of pale
pink hibiscus and pink begOnias were
tastefulIy arranged on the various
tables and stands.
The first part of the afternoon was
spent in conversation and the latter
part was devoted TO short but in
Ieresting program.
The first number of the program
was a vocal selection by Mrs. John
Erdman, who was accompanied on the
piano by Mrs. William Whitney. This
number was greatly enjoyed by the
audience and was followed by Miss
Esther Erickson, the Secretary OF the
Y. w. G. A., whose talk was based
OH. the work done by the organiza-
ton in cities other than Honolulu,
and on the work that is done here
and that the officers hoped to do in
the near future Miss Erickson told
of the different classes of women
with whom the Y. w. G. A. has to
deal. Their work is with the women
of the world, not certain classes OF
women, but all women. She also
spoke OF the fourfold need of the
young woman and of the, way in
which the Y. w. C. A. tries to fill
that need. This fourfold need is the
social, physical, intellectual and spir-
itual. II is well known here that the
girls who would perhaps have no OPP
portnnity to attend social functions
many informal affairs given at the
Homestead. The physical need will
perhaps be met more adequately next
year than it has been for some time
past, for a new physical director,
Miss, Topper, has just arrived and
she is ready to do her part in that
department In this department
there are the gymnasium classes, the
tennis courts, and the swimming
classes, and the young women of this
city can avail themselves Of any OF
these forms of exercise.
The classes for intellectual deyel-
opment viii be opened In the early
part or next month and the girls who
wish To do so win have the opportun-
fly of studying Shakespeare and other
great writer's. Then the spiritual
side of this four-fold need is filled
through the Bibie classes.
In her closing remarks, Miss Eifck-
