NO GOAT ROPING AT
rENDLEroN THIS YEAR

PENDLEToN. Aug, 16--No goat
roping this year at the Roundup,
September.20. 81 and 80. This was
definitely decided by the directors
this week. Last year an attempt was
made to Introduce goat roping in the
northwest but there was something
radically wrong with the goats which
we're secured from the Willamette
valley. They didn't take kindly to
the ropins and we're not built for
that business anyhow. They wouldn't
run In the nrst place. and In the
second place when the rope hit their
horns they laid down and refused
to get up for the roper to nank them.
Consequently the contest was called
or and will not be attempted again.

PARIS SEAPORT CITY

PARIS. July rs (By Mail) Paris
as one OF the worlds great seaports
Of the future is today more than an
idle dream.
Ever since the 17th century the
idea Of seaport Paris has been oc-
casionally discussed by learned
Frenchmen and approved as highly
advisable. But II has taken the big
war to develop the plan so that to-
day 1t lie a potent possibility. The
war has demanded the absolute nec-
essity OF providing Paris with nav
igable waterway direct to the sea,
SO that ocean going ships might
bring their cargoes into dock at the
French metropolis.
The paris Seaport" scheme has
been handed down from generation
to generation. with additions and
notifications on paper. Then came
the great foods OF 1910 when whole
quarters Of Paris were inundated and
trafhc was suspended for days. IT
was then definitely decided that a
canal system must be built to relieve
the main stream In case of new floods
and the idea OF widening and deep
ening the Seine was also considered.
