win the prizes in the contests.
All who attended today were amazed
at the scope of the Philomath roundup
and expressed surprise at how such a
big show could be staged in such a
small city,
Rain Insurance,
Philomath, Or, June eff insur-
ance policies on the weather could be
secured generally it is safe to assume
that many would be taken ont Here
is one such policy: Roy Newport, of
Albany, has the concession for con
fectiOnery ane drinks at the Philomath
Round Up, which opened Thursday and
continues until Saturday. Last week
he expressed his worry over the wealth
er to w. F. Pfiffer, an Albany cloth
ing merchant who made him the prOpo-
sition Of insurinq his business during
the three days for $3.50 for a premium
of $50. If it rains or is cloudy enough
to keep the crowds away from the big
Roundup Pfeifer pays Newport $3.50
in cash. If it is god weather Newport
will be glad enough to pay $50 for the
privilege Of having it. No other policy
on the weather has ever been known
to be written in this state. The papers
were signed before a notary.
