Champ Bucker Is
"a Years Of Age

Perhaps you remarked that long,
lanky, sleepy, nondescript animal
that was led out in the finals of the
bueking contest at the roundup and
was ridden by George Fletcher, the
Pendleton negro rider. Old Alkali
Pete he is called. Pete is a tired
looking specimen Of horsefleshl ordi-
narily, but the minute a saddle is
thrown across his back he becomes
piece of galvanized electricity.
Fletcher won third money on Pete
last week, and remember, please, that
winning bucking contest depends a
great deal upon the horse as well as
the rider. The remarkable part OF
Alkali Pete is that he has seen TWEEN
ty-four summers and is still one OF
the worst buckers in the west. He is
owned by Oscar Sanders of Redding.
Sanders said that he has used Pete
for a workhorse and that he is gentle
and good worker, but the minute
someone sits on his back, whoopee,
boys, something is going to tear
loose.

oVERWORKING THE RECALL.

Portland Telegram: At Ashland
the other day the people decided that
f vas q mistake TO invoke the recall
against Bert r. Greer. chairman Of
the springs commission, the body
charged with developing the mineral
springs which lie near the progress
sive city Of Jackson county. The vote
showed that Greer was wanted TO
finish the work so well begun, and
that very popular man was not
strong enough TO cause the people to
prefer him as a member Of the com
mission.
Ashland voted bonds in the sum Of
$4,000 for the purpose Of raising
funds with which TO create water
ing place, TO develop the really impor-
tant asset Of the community. A COM
mission was chosen by ballot and that
body proceeded to spend the money
in the creation of wonderful park
and playground. Nature had done
wonders for the community, but it
remained for Mr.. Greer and one or
two other enterprising citizens to
comprehend the opportunity and
crystallize public sentiment in favor
Of spending the necessary money to
make the asset available. No won
der. then, that opposition developed,
for the work was new in Oregon, and
there was no opportunity to show re-
suits in the space of a year or two.
In California work of the sort under
taken at Ashland would meet with
immediate support, and instead Of
chickering's and an effort to recall the
man responsible for the development,
all good citizens would get together
and make the best of the enterprise.
Instead of fussing, the people of Ash
land would have been better off had
they organized to make the widest
possible use of the mineral waters
and in reality created the Carlsbad
Of America" rather than to spend
good money and needed energy in in
voking the recall, with its attendant
dissipation Of effort and breaking
down OF the community spirit.
Ashland has a fair start. toward
gaining a place among the health re-
sorts of the Pacific coast, and now
that the recall has failed, 1t would
be the part OF wisdom for the people

ly for development of every natural
resource which prodigal Nature has
given them to turn to their own ad-
vantage.

TRIP TO MOUNT ASHLAND.

President Mccormick, Gener-
al Passenger Agent Scott and the
writer made the trip to Ashland
butte yesterday. Leaving Ashland
at s:20 in an automobile, they went
up the canyon to Longs cabin, where
a team and buggy took them to the
end Of the government road. From
there the trip was made on saddle
horses. Lunch was taken at noon
about one and one-half miles this
side Of the summit in the edge of the
snow. The horses were ridden easily
TO the extreme summit, where the
party registered their names in the
book from the ranger box from the
back Of their horses. About an hour
was spent on the summit. about the
same length OF time at lunch, and
the party reached the city at o'clock
last night.
Horseback, the trip is easily made
in a day with little inconvenience.
Mr. Mccormick, who has done much
mountain climbing both in Europe
and America, pronounces the Ash
land view surpassed by none on
either continent. He says Ashland
has there a fiye-million-dollar asset
If popularized and properly exploited.
Il is an easy days trip, and every
citizen should make It so that they
may be able TO tell strangers about
the grand view from the summit.

night, after spending a week here

Hooper Faces
Murder Charge

John Austin Hooper, the kid glove
highwayman, has brought his bril-
liant criminal record to a close with
murder.
On June Hooper killed Special
Officer Louis Wells in Joplin, No,
while Wells was trying TO arrest him.
He has made complete confession.
Hooper, who is known in the Mis-
souri, city as Wilbur Mason, was posi-
lively identified as the Oregon crimi-
nal de lure. His trial has been fixed
for July 10.
After raiding up and down the
coast and executing some particularly
unusual coups in Oregon, Hooper
was arrested in The Dalles, July 20,
1915, for robbery of the Rogue River
Bank, and was put in Jail at Grants
Pass. After he had been there a
short time he began to tire Of the
board and lodging provided by the
county. On August 16, 1915, Hooper
broke jail and disappeared.
Sorry to do this" he left word.
81 hate to get my friend, the sheriff,
in bad"
Once outside the jail, he stopped
an automobile. 1t was occupied by
man and young woman. Bidding
them the pleasantest sort of good
evening, the Slipper tongue" Joined
the group and at the point of his gun
forced the owner Of the machine to
him to safety.
No courtier could have withdrawn
from the presence of his monarch
with more grace and ceremony than
Hooper left his enforced friends of
the automobile. He disappeared
into the brush and nothing more was
heard of him until last week.
Hooper usually operated alone.
His was dashing method of pro-
cedure at all times. At the Rogue
River Bank he walked in and quickly
put the cashier hors de combat by
throwing the contents OF an ammonia
bottle in his face.
A highwayman by nature and a
gentleman by preference, or vice
versa, Hooper presented probably the
most picturesque figure in the annals
OF highway robbery in this state. His
speech was at all times elegant,
whether or not it matched up with
his actions.
Following a short term in San
Quentin penitentiary, Hooper was
sentenced to life in Folsom for high
way robbery in Marin county, Califor-
mia, in May, 1904. He served ten
years and was paroled in September,
1914.
Immediately he returned to a life
of violence. Many of his escapades
were those of modern Robin Hood.
