Noted Sculptor Is
Nearing Finish On
Model OF A BuCker
WORK OF TEN MONTHS NEARING
COMPLETION AND MIR. PROC
TOR PLEASED.

One of the purposes of the long
stay in Pendleton of A. Phimister
Proctor. celebrated New York sclup-
tor. has been almost accomplished.
He is just now finishing his model OF
bucking broncho, to create which
he decided to come west and remain
where he could study his subject first
hand. 1t has been ten months
work and during that time he has
watched hundreds of outlaw cayuses
buck and he feels that as a result, he
has accomplished something that is as
true to life as his powers can devise
Mr.. Proctor arrived in Pendleton
before the 1914 Roundup and he at
tended every tryout and every per-
formance. sketch-book in hand. Since
that time he has been present at a
number of Indian and cowboy round
ups on the range lands and few buck
ing horses have been ridden in the
vicinity of Pendleton that have not
had him as an intensely interested
spectator. His trained eye followed
the movements Of horse and rider
from first jump to last and the ac-
ton which he has embodied in his
newest piece Of sculpture is truly re-
markable.
The creation of a model is a labor
ious and delicate task and Mr.. Proctor
has put in many trying days on his
bucking brOncho. The modelling OF
the wax into the figure he completed
last week and is now engaged In cast
ing it in plaster To do this he first
covers the entire figure with plaster
paris and then cuts it into sections
after it has hardened. Each part OF
the figure Is cast in plaster separate
~ and is then put together again.
This plaster model when completed
will be sent east to be used in cast
ing the bucking broncho in bronze.
Mr.. Proctor intends first to have the
broncho done in the same size as the
model but eventually will probably
have it cast life-size.
The bucking broncho, as created by
the sculptor's hands, shows a typical
western outlaw in typical attitude
The head Is lowered between the fore
feet and the animals heels are in
the air. In the saddle is a bechapped
buckaroo and his spurs are raking
the sides Of the broneho. Every lit
tie detail. such as the pattern Of the
saddle. the points Of the rowels and
the hairy chaps, has been brought
out Bin Ridings, well known cow
boy. served as the model for the fig
ure in the saddle.
Since he took up his residence here.
Mr.. Proctor has finished his model OF
an Indian pursued he has done a
cowboys head and a bucking buffalo,
using the late lamented Buck Of the
Roundup as his model Unfortu-
Dately. Just as he finished this work.
which he considers one Of the best
things he has ever done, one OF the
wax legs fell off. This Mr.. Proctor
will replace in the near future. The
sculptor is also working upon an
other bucking broncho, showing an
outlaw rearing on his hind legs.
Since coming to Pendleton MT.
Proctor has become infatuated with
the west and the opportunities 1t Of
fers for him and Is seriously consid-
erlpg making this city his permanent
home The artistic atmosphere which
is to be found in New York may De
lacking but he finds inspiration
aplenty.

THE BAG WASTE

~ HE shipment of wheat in
W bulk is likely to be the
ultimate answer of the
farmers to the higher prices for
grain bags. Shipment in bags
has always been a notorious
waste, and it will continue to
be waste as long as practiced.
1t is a more expensive method
of handling, and in the end the
bags are a total loss to the pro-
ducer.
This year an advance Of ar
ound three cents in the price
accentuates the subject. A
shortening Of working hours in
India by government order
started the advance. The lack
of vessels to bring the ship
ments from Hongkong, where
they were laid down by the bag
makers. instead of at their usu-
al destinations on the Pacific
coast, added TO the increase.
Ships to bring the bags to Am
erica had to be chartered by
American importers at extorti-
onate freight rates, and that
fact was another incident to
drive up the price.
In addition. it is broadly
stated that importers have
taken advantage of the situa-
tion, particularly of the war
excuse to manipulate prices to
their own advantage by mag
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1915-06-23

nifying the various influences
that have tended to initiate the
expense of landing bags in the
country.
Conspicuous in the situation
is the scarcity of vessels. 1t
all goes back to the proposition
that the international ship mo-
nopoly and the American ship
ping trust filibustered Presi-
dent Wilson's ship purchase
bill to death in the senate. The
sequel to that act is the fact
that farmers must pay as high
as So cents to get a bushel Of
their wheat to Europe, and
must in addition pay large in
creased prices for grain bags.

SERVE ALL SECTIONS

IN his article on the road
subject today Mr.. H. N.
Dryer ably presents the
subject from the standpoint of
the town of Umatilla. Incident
ally it is a viewpoint that
should have recognition.
However, there are some
points Mr.. Dryer does not make
clear. For instance he argues
that wheat should be hauled to
Umatilla instead of Cold
Springs on the ground that the
boat rate from Umatilla will be
lower than the boat rate from
Cold Springs.
If that should be true would
the differential by water be as
great as the differential by
land between the two points?
To contend it is means to claim
that the haul by river is higher
than the haul on land by auto
and trailers, which is someth-
ing not generally granted.
No doubt the road commit
tee handling this subject will
give close study to all features
of the problem and will give
full weight to all the argu-
ments presented.
To the East OregOnian it
seems desirable that there be a
road to Cold Springs to con-
meet the wheat country and the
central towns with the river, a
road from Pendleton to Una
tilla through the four west end
towns, a road to serve the east
end of the county and an i'm
proved road to Pilot Rock.
All sections need good roads
and the favors must be fairly
equitably distributed to insure
the success Of county bonding.

EXCHANGE REMEDY

Banker Suggests United States
Subscribe to War Issue or
Make Loan to England.

Iondon. June 30.-The situation
arising from the weakness Of New York
exchange on London continues TO be
much discussed. The treasury appears
TO be willing to permit gold TO flow to
America in part payment Of the bal
ance created by war purchases. The
exchange situation meanwhile has not
been remedied.
f. f. Davies, chairman Of the com
mittee of English and foreign bankers
on exchange problems. in discussing
the exchange question, said to-day:
81 consider the best way for Ameri-
can exchange to be righted will be by
Americans subscribing literally TO the
new war loan. exchange being at pres
ent something like per cent in favor
of America on such an operation; or
by Americans granting about S5OO,OOO'-
900 of credit TO Great Britain.
1.-THE former is much the better way,
but either is in the best interest OF
both countries. and America thereby
would pay herself for her shipments 70
this country Paris depends solely on
London. and any payments for NUM-
tions or food must be made through
