DR.. Smith as we'll as all other can
didates are minority candidates !
as only about sixty per cent voted ,
in the primaries. This shows a
great lack of interest among the
people in the primary election.
] don't think anyone can be elected
Governor who does not stanS. fully

en- Drift creek While there Mr..
Ball the photographer from Cor
wallis took high class picture of
Wheelock Falls, where the party
was stopping. These falls are ten
in rumbe, each tumblirg into the
one below end thev are all abuut
100 feet in height. The water is
Away: clear and icy cod and in
the Summer months their clearnoss
has the hue Of silver crystals.
Their ripliing. dancing. romping
from cascade to cascade seem to
illustrate the playfulness of child
described by Samuel Simpson in
the line, "Leaping. dancing like a
child at play." WheelCck Falls is
a most beautiful place located on
a river whose source is in the big,
green mountains nelr Marys Peak.
You would enjoy these falls almost
as much as Bridal Veil. The party
report as haying good time and
a handsome catch of the specs!ed
beauties.
Let 'Er Buck is a new letter in the
alrhabet. The COW boys gave their
Wild West Show en- the Baker ball
grounds Saturday and Sunday. A
gyod audience vas in attendance
both days. Their exhibition Of
Lucning Eorses aEd bulls was very
good with the material they had
The Grave digger" a vicious,biF,
gray, was rode by Redding He
bGck.d clear across the field aud at
times he seemed to be six OF eight
feet in the air. he hucked so
hard that the riders noge blcd.
The black horse. an outlaw almost,
was rode by little Dutch. He
bumped his back 10 almost 40 de-
Erees end went into the air and
bawled like 9 bull, but the rider
stayed with him, The big brown
horse brought from the Siletz that
had rever been backed by anyone
was rode by Broncho Bob the
champion rider. He was a vicious
bucker but he never got the rider
off. The big roam bull taken off
the range was rode by Slim Jim.
When he was mounted and the
spurs put in his flank you ought to
see him buck. He did his best
but the rider stayed on. The red
hull was an outlaw and could not
be rode by anyone. Some of the
best riders tried it and failed. |
The Indians thought a white boy
could ride it, an expert on calves. !
The Indians nut up $40 and the
COW boys took it. Young Kineson
mounted the bull took his tail in
one hand and with the other he
took hold of tne bulls collar and
the bull was turned loose and with |
a few big jumps kineson came |
sprawling TO the ground. After
this two of the COW boys tried TO
ride him double but he soon bucked |
them off One Of the best stunts
was bull-dogging a big. wild steer. |
This was doie by Broncho Bob who |
mounted horse and chased the
steer around the ring till he got
close enough to jump from the
horse On to the steers head. Once
seated he took the steer by the
nose and twisted his neck till he
came to the ground. This is n
difficult and dangerous feat and
can only be dime by an expert.
The Indians in putting on the War
Dance did better than usual. They
had on the finest costumes that
could be obtained on the reserva-
ticn and they entered into the
dance with the old imo spirit.
The people we're pleased with the
Wild West show and it may be
made n permanent thing at New
port.
