THE REMARKABLE STORY
OF VANADIUM STOCK

The way in which men grow rich
in the financial market is demonstrat-
ed by the marvellous increase in vana
dlum stock. which now brings in the
neighborhood of $1,000 a share. \
concern organized in 1906 to mine
ana sell vanadium, mas disposed oil
its holdings to n group of eastern
capitalists for $1,000, coo. A year
ago the stock was worth only $l52 a
hare, Vanadium was one OF the
rarost minerals known until 1906,
when rich deposits were discovered
In the ePruvian Andes, 1920 feet
above sea level, In 1892 it was listct
as the rarest metal, oeing valued at
hat time at $47922 pound, or at
twenty times the value of gold. 1t is
now sold at SO so Il pound, and its use
has increased at a rapid rate. 1t is
sold very largely to the makers of
high speed tools large caliber guns,
helmets, typewriters. automobiles,
aeroplanes, locomotives and rails. An
American company owns ninety-twI
per cent of the known deposits of the
metal

Drumheller Retains Title.
Sundown was not the only cham

were two of the champions of last

Drumheller of Walla Walla in the

Drumheller led Bob Ieihe of Chey-

championship.

Greatest Show of All.
Altogether the final day Of the
1915 show was the greatest Round
Up ever staged here or anywhere else.
The crowd was mammoth one.
1t was a greater crowd even than
the memorable one of the final day
of 1912, and the directors and the
contestants responded TO the gigantic
crowd and its enthusiastic mood.
The weather was perfect again. the
proverbial Roundup brand, and
there was no element lacking to set
a new standard of frontier entertain
ments.
The cowboys put their best efforts
into their every contest or exhibition.
and even the Indians caught the en-
thusiasm. They danced their war
dance as they never danced before.
and their whooping arose above the
beating of their war drums
Sid Scale was more OF a dare devil
than ever in his famous drunken ride
and brought the crowd TO its feet as
he went swaying about the track.
