AUTO STREET CARS ARE
ASSURED FOR ROUNDUP
TWO 25-PASSENGER BUSES HAVE
ALREADY BEEN con-
TRACTED FOR.

Before the Roundup Pendleton will
have auto street cars and will thus be
the first city in the northwest If not
in the whole west to adopt this new
form of carrier service. G. +. Par
ker. owner of the local taxicab service
today stated that he had contracted
with the Columbia Carriage Co. of
Portland for two 25-passenger auto
buses to be delivered by September 10
and that they are already half com
pleted.
Announcement that he would put
auto o-street cars into operation was
made by Mr.. Parker a number OF
weeks ago and the fact that work Of
building the cars is already underway
proves that he was serious when he
made the statement. He believes that
lauto-street cars can operate much
cheaper than electric cars and give
| lust as good service and is willing to
1 risk his money on he experiment.
He will operate his cars on all of
Q the paved streets on a regular sched-
/ ule. For instance he will go up Court
street and down Webb and up Water
and Lewis and down Alta or down
West Court and back on Webb. II
the road to the eastern Oregon state
hospital is put in good condition. he
will give service 10 and from that in
stitution.
Mr.. Parker states that he viii
charge ten cent fare at first and
that II patronage is sufficient he viii
reduce IL to five cents.

NEWS OF FARM AND RANGE

Grasshoppers Again - That the
grasshoppers this year have eaten
every blade OF his third crop OF al
falfa and did considerable damage
to his late barley Is the statement Of
william Slusher, well known NOlin
farmer and sheepman. He thinks the
great number OF grasshOppers this
year results from the lack OF any
hard freezing weather last winter and
recalls a similar experience about
nine years ago.
Nearly Through Cutting-Guy Wy
rick is almost through cutting the
1000 acres OF wheat on the Sturgis-
Wyrick ranch near this city and re-
ports a good crop though not quite
up TO that OF last year. He will fin
ish in five days. he says. His grain
was unusually thick this year, too
thick. he thinks. for the amount OF
moisture in the ground. Had there
been a hard rain early in the season
instead OF the frost. his yield would
have been enormous. he says.
Forest Fire Near Starkey-A for
est fire. presumably started by light
ming. which ragged Monday near Star
key has been conquered, according
to news received here. About 50
acres OF poor grade timber were
! burned over. Only prompt and hard
work prevented the flames from get
| ting into better timber. Forest rang
ers are hoping for rains in order tc
! lessen the danger.

HOW A SUCCESSFUL STRAIT.
EGlST WINS LAURElS.

The successful strategist at auction car
iies In his mind careful check OF all that
has gone before in both bidding and play
and is therefore able TO form correct de-
auctions upon known premises that the
weaker player fails to grasp.
The result is that the advantage on an
even break Of holdings is largely in favor
OF the man who thinks.
We recently witnessed a modest wager
between two we'll rated players on the
question of steady. correct play over the
so-called luck OF holdings. A, after a
bad session, remarked that he was be-
coming convinced the game WAS largely
question OF luck. b. recognizing A as a
clever player. wagered A that he (A)
would be on the plus side of the score at

SHUTTING OUT BID SOMETIMES
KILLS OPPORTUNITY.

In some instances. especially where
there is present a singly guarded honor In
the supporting hand a bid shutting out
an opponent may work well and show a
gain. But the winning percentage in all
cases marked by such departure from
the usual custom is not higher than usual.
The result of using concerted strength
merely to stop the opponents bidding Is
oftentimes tho loss OF chance TO profit
by doubling an opponents high contract
that cannot be made.
East declared two clubs with holding
that made il questionable whether = nigh
or no-trump bid would have been effective
In shutting him out. After South. on the
strength OF his double stopper In clubs
made IT two no-trumps, four-club dec
laration was too high for East, and also
needless, considering his partner already
knew which suit 10 lead.
West led the seven OF clubs 10 his part
