End Comes

London. Aug. 21.-General VIM

Salvation Army, died at 10:30 o'clock
last night. He was born at Noting
ham in 1929.
The veteran Salvation Army leader
was unconscious for As hours before
his death. The medical bulletins had
not revealed the seriousness of the
generals condition, which for a week
it now is admitted, was hopeless.
General Booth underwent an oper-
alton twelve weeks ago for the re-
moval of a cataract from his left eye.
For two days after physicians gave
hope of his recovery. Septic poison
ing then set in and from that time,
with the exception of occasional rail-
lies the patients health steadily de-
clined. The general recognized that
the end was near and often spoke of
his work as being finished.
The aged evangelist died at his res
idence, the Rockstone, Hadleywood,
eight miles from London, where he
had been confined to his bed since
the operation. At the bedside when
the end came were Mr.. and Mrs.
Bramwell Booth and their daughter
and son, Adjutant Catherine Booth
and Sergeant Bernard Booth; the gen.
erals youngest daughter, Commission
er Mrs. Booth-Helberd, and Com
missioner Howard Colonel Kitching
and DIR. Wardfaw Milne.

the opportunity to making river
excursion trip on Labor Day when the
Umatilla Commercial club runs its
special holiday boat up the river to
Pasco and Kennewick. Through its
Officers, the Umatilla club has secur-

enough to warrant special train

docks at o'clock on the morning of
September and it is the intention OF
the club to start a special train from
Pendleton in ample time to make

newick and the boat is scheduled to
leave on its return trip at p. m.

berg ahead. The engines were stop
ped and the impact was light.
Preparations were made to aban-
don the vessel but an examination
Showed that the damage was above
the water line
The captain declared there was no
panic among the passengers. Some
of the passengers, however, said the
shock was most violent. They said
that tons of ice fell on the decks and
many passengers were thrown from
their berths. 1t was further asserted
that some of the passengers were ter
ribly frightened and jumped into the
beats. Everyone on board praised
Captain Cook highly. The passengers
presented him a gold watch and
purse after the accident.

DEMAND FOR MONEY Is
FELT BY INTERIOR BANKS

Kansas City. Mo-, Aug. 2l.--Reports
received from the banks of the inte-
rior state that those institutions are
feeling the call for money with which
to nave the crops. Wheat is coming
to market freely despite the price,
which the farmers consider low. The
early selling of wheat is having a
good effect on collections, and mer-
chants who have been carrying their
farmer customers through the spring
and summer are becoming able to re-
adjust themselves to the better con-
ditions
Many of the interior counties will
have larger total returns from the
fields than in several years. This will
come from the mixed farming meth
ods used and the better tillage. 1t
should have a good effect on trade
and merchants who go to market for
their supplies are starting earlier than
usual, and with plans for liberal buy
ing.

LOCAL BOY GAINS
FAME AT CHEYENNE NE
Lee Caldwell Takes Third Place in
Bucking Contest, Riding Widest
Horse

Lee Caldwell. son OF William Cald-
we'll prominent local rancher. dem
onstrated his ability as a bronchC
buster in Cheyenne last week when
in the finals of the bucking contests
of the annual Frontier day, he won
the third place prize of $3.50. Had
the decision been left to the audience,
he would unquestionably have cap
tured the first trophy, according to
accounts received here.
Young Caldwell is well known here,
where he was raised and where he
got his first training as a buckaroo.
Before the inception of the Round
up. he had taken many prizes at
small bucking contests, though only
a boy, and in each of the two Round
ups he has ridden. but met with hard
luck and was eliminated from the
finals Recently he has been travel
ing with the 101 Ranch and was with
that show when 1t gave performance
here. He is only nineteen years old
now and his record at Cheyenne indi-
Gates that he will be a world beater
when he has secured the experience of
a few more years.
In speaking of his showing at Chey-
enne, the Herald of that city, after
stating that Frank Carter of La
Grange Wyoming had been awarded
first place, says:
Had a decision in the final riding
been left to the crowd, the champion
ship would undoubtedly have gone to
Lee Caldwell. youngster of nineteen
years, who, not included in the list
of contestants selected to ride in the
he might prove his ability, and on
Senator Warren made a showing so
good that he could no longer legiti-
mately be denied admission to the
final contest. Riding In the final his
performance on I-Be- Damned was as
spectacular as any of the celebration
and when after the wicked horse had
dashed into the judges stand and
then through the fence, the youngster
was still in the saddle and ready for
more, the crowd fluttered the clouds
with its cheers.
Caldwell's riding, however, was not
technically as perfect as Carter's or
Hugh Clark's, in the opinion of the
judges, and he was awarded third
place, Clark taking second for his
ride on Nevada Kid"

REDMOND MAYOR AND
MARSHALL QUIT JOBS

Salem, Ore, Aug Ex-Governor
West was informed that his law-en-
forcement crusade had succeeded
when he brought about the resigna-
ton of II. j. Jones as mayor of Red
mond, and City Marshal McClay. a
telegram being received to that effect
from the city council.
This will make 1t unnecessary for
him to call out the troops and pro-
ceed to the scene to compel the city
council to give the people of Redmond
a clean lot of city officials. The
council advised the governor Monday
morning that it had the mayors resig-
nation but suggested a further inves-
tigation of conditions, maintaining
that the governor was ignorant as to
them. The governor wired back that
nothing but the resignation of the
mayor and city marshal would salts
fy him, and threatened to take steps
to bring it about, unless they were
forthcoming and his threat had the
desired effect.
proceeding under a statute which
he may invoke in his law-enforce-
ment crusade, Governor West desig-
mated Mrs. Lola G. Baldwin of Port
land, as special agent, with power
to act in any county of the state. The
statute provides that whenever in the
Judgment of the governor criminals
are apt to escape justice or punish
ment, he may employ special agents
to accumulate evidence against them
and bring about their arrest. Should
conditions warrant it he will make use
of 1t in the campaign he is waging
to compel county and municipal of
ficers to enforce the laws against
gamblers, saloons and disreputable
houses.

WILL CLEAN Up
PORTLAND NEXT
Governor West Promises Sensational
Shake-up in Rose City Unless
Laws are 0beyed.

Salem, Ore, Aug. 21-Routing vice
from its haunts in Redmond and
Huntington has been but preliminary
to the real fight Governor West is
preparing in his law enforcement cam
paign. He is now ready to tackle the
biggest job in the state. The next
town on his list is the city of Port
land.
When asked yesterday where he
would strike next, the governor said:
I'm going to clean up Portland
next"
He said he did not refer merely to
roadhouses, but to the city itself. He
said he did not care to discuss his
| plans, except to say he was prepared
to shake the metropolis to its foun-
dations unless the laws were en-
forced there.
1t is to be presumed that his line
of procedure will not vary greatly
from his attacks on smaller places
This being true. the matter of law
enforcement will undoubtedly be put
Suuarely up to Mayor Rushlight and
Chief of Police Slower, as well as
Sheriff stevens and county officials.
In his campaigns the governor also
never overlooks the district attorneys
office.
If these officials do not respond to
his demands it is not at all unlikely
that the governor will demand their
resignation under threat of putting
the city under martial law. It is be-
lieved he has been gathering evidence
on Portland for some time, as he has
made it practice to be we'll prepared
for every showdown that might arise
before opening fire on a city.
