HOW YOU CAN HELP
new DELIVERY PLAN

Tomorrow the Penland Bros. de-
livery crews will enter upon system
Of four daily deliveries instead OF six
and the cooperation OF the public is
requested so as to make the new plan
a success. 1t is explained by Penland
Bros, that the increased price OF feed
and of labor together with the scar
city of men makes 1t necessary to re-
duce the number of deliveries or else
advance the charges 20 merchants.
The plan of four deliveries will take
care of all local business, provided
customers show judgment in placing
their orders.
For instance" says Clarence Pen
land "a person ordering meat, gro
ceries and other items in the morn
ing should order them all at one
time, if possible so that it will be me-
cessary for a delivery wagon to call
at that house but once. If one class
of goods is ordered for the Sis de-
livery. another for 1880. another for
20 p. m. and another for the o.
clock delivery 1t may be seen that =
wagon must go to tht patrons house
four times during the day. If the
orders could be all placed at one time
the work for the delivery boys would
be greatly lessened."
1t is explained that another way the
deliverymen may be aided Is through
local people having at immediate
hand money necessary for use in pay
ing for C. o. d. packages. Whenever
a deliveryman is held waiting by such
a patron that much time is lost.

LEARNED HOW TO FIGHT
WITH SOLDIERS OF SEA

AVER, Mass, Sept. 24.-Frank c.
Nelson, soldier of fortune, hero of
many battles. and recently appointed
division sergeant major in the nation
al army at Camp Devens traces the
success of his wonderful military ca
reer back to the United States ma
rine corps. 1t was during the four
years spent with our navy soldiers,
Sergeant Nelson declares. that he
learned the "ins and outs" of real
fighting.
Although but 80 years of age, Ser
geant Nelson's life reads like a chap
ter of fiction. He was with the L.
S. marines at Nicaragua during the
rebellion. He was sergeant-major of
an over-sea battalion of Canadians
and twice wounded while fighting the
Germans near Ypres. He has been
awarded the Victoria Cross by Sir
John French for saving the life of a
British officer on the battlefield, and
has been decorated by King Albert
of Belgium in person He has seen
much fighting on the French front
and is considered an expert in trench
fighting and bombing.

II was with genuine regret that the
crowd saw Allan Drumheller lose his
title of champion relay rider through
an accident just as he had the three
day race won, but he never could
have lost it to a better rider. Lynch
is quicker on the change than any re-
lay rider that has ridden here and he
had a noble string of horses in the
Parsons string. Lynch. who halls
from Kalispell, Mont. also won the
pony express championship. winning
easily all three days over Braden Ger
king and Bob Anderson.
DrumhelIer's injury saturday was
not serious and he was given ring
ing cheer when he returned to the
track. He has announced that this
was his last ride as he intends to get
married next week and quit the
game. Drumheller entered the race
here a sick man and 1t was only his
nerve that kept him up.
Mabel De Long, riding the Drum
heller string, still retains her title OF
champion cowgirl relay rider which
she won last year. Accidents had put
her well in the lead of Donna Card,
riding the McCarty string, and Jo-
sephine Sherry, riding her own, and
she took no chances of losing her ad-
vantage by a fall on a slippery track
Saturday.
Josephine Sherry was unable to
ride owing to her injury of Friday
and Katie Wilkes Canutt substituted
for her. She too. however, was the
victim of an accident. her first horse
falling with her. and was forced to
retire. She was not hurt and later
in the day won the cowpony race.

No greater crowd ever saw a
Roundup than saw the champions

few larger crowds were ever attracted

booths were closed by the time the

II was unfortunate that such
record crowd should have been the
first Roundup crowd to be rained
on in the eight years the local show
has been staged. For half an hour
a steady shower kept up. but It drove
no one away. The same-rain wet the
track and made the races dangerous.

HARD RAIN IS WORTH
MILLION TO FARMERS

The hardest rain Pendleton has re-
ceived since last spring fell Saturday
during the night In all nine-tenths
of an inch fell and it was worth a
million dollars to the farmers and
stockmen.
The rain came too late to spoil the
Roundup and 1t was just in time to
prepare the ground for fall seeding
and to freshen up the fall range.
Last year there were no September
rains and the farmers had to seed in
the dust. The rains of the weekend
win permit farmers to begin seeding
right away and 1t will give them a
chance to get the weeds The rain
also assures such good fall range
that the stock will go into the winter

After Canutt had scratched up Cul-
