The high ideals Of the days Of
knighthood have been brought into the
giant productive industries that enable
the motor car to transport each year
in the United States the equivalent
of carrying one driver 100000 900
miles Each twenty seconds the motor
car transports a rider from Augusta to
Los Angeles. Day and night this lone
ly motorist travels at the rate of 9133
miles minute Each second of the
year S1,2O in tires has to be made
transported, sold and fitted on car.
With all this stupendous cumulative
activity can the motor car driver recog-
nize his share of responsibility to other
drivers and to the public? Can he main
tain for this giant industry the favor
of the people? For 1t rests In his
hands whether with the rapidly in
creasng road congestion he will con-
tinue to be treated with cordlality
in one Of its courtesy bulletins" To-
day many cities must have elaborate
traffic and policing regulations and the
traffic is growing.
The careless driver, the thoughtless
driver, the driver who does not force
himself to be Knight" and gentle
man" will greatly increase the dan
ger Of motoring to the pedestrian, to
other drivers, and to himself and jeop-
ardi2e the privileges he has hitherto
enjoyed

100000 POUNDS WOOL
SOLD CONDOR AUCTION
Prices Paid at Sale Indicate that some
thing Like Stability In Prices Has
Returned.

Prices paid last week at Condor at
the second wool auction Of the season
indicates that the gloom which has
been the lot Of the sheep man is rap
idly being driven away by a return to
something like stability in prices.
About 100000 pauuds Of wool changed
hands in the sale at an average price
of little better than Is cents.
Wool men were pleased with the
spirit that was manifested at the sale,
and the buyers declared that the half
million pounds was the most uniform
lot in quality they have bid on this
year.
The top price OF the auction was paid
to Shoun and VIII, Mitchell men,
whose clip Of yearling fine wool vas
bid in at l9 1-2 cents The low price
was y cents which was for a small
lot Of coarse stun The clips offered
were almost altogether fine according
to Mac Hoke, secretary Of the Oregon
Wool Growers, who was present at the
sale
Alex Livingstone was the heavy buy
err, about 50 per cent OF the offerings
being secured by him. Other buyers
We're Frank Clark Isadore Koshand.
and Eddie Burk Practically all OF the
wool offered was sold at the prices
bid.
This is the second auction that has
been held at Condor during the past
three weeks and the sale last week
was better than the first sale. growers
seem to think Most OF the offerings
last week were made by sheep men In
the district further out who were un-
able TO get their clips In FOR tho former
sale
Among those growers who disposed
ot clips last week were Clark and
Hays RinEmeyer and Son and Billy

and Luther McCarty - Condor; Rys
Humphreys, Of Dayyille; Dave Hardy,
Bales Bros. Marion Osborn, Thomas
Bros, and Shoul and WIN
An optimistic note was struck at tho
sale, too, when II was found that wlll-
lam Eettie OF Fossil recently sold
dne clip Of 10000 pounds to the scour-
ing mill at Tho Dailes FOR 20 "a csnts..

Dexter Too Heavy for
Bauman in Boxing Match

One Of the events eliciting greatest
interest at the Parkers Mill celebration
OH Monday was the bout between Jake
Dexter Of Heppner and Clarence Bau-
man Of Lexington. Those who Witness
60 1t say that the fight was lively one
from start to finish, and 1t lasted SIX
rounds. Bauman seemed to possess
from scratching him up, but the big
fellow could over reach him and got
in some telling work on Bauman's
back. finally weakening the smaller
man and was able to give him the
knockout blow. Dexter has about rs
and while the latter was able to give
him lot Of punishment, he could not
hit hard enough. II is stated that Bau-
man nearly had his man in the second
round, but when Dexter got his second
breath he came back all the harder and
there was no winding him after that.
One Of the preliminaries was a bout
between Cecil Lieuallen OF Heppner and
Beeson Of Condor, and the latter found
he was up against a buzz saw and
squealed before the end Of the second
round. He had made his boast before
that Lieuallen would be carried OF on
stretcher, but soon had occasion to
change his mind. The cry he raised
of being fouled in the first round did
not go with Bauman, who was referee,
and the decision went to Lieuallen.
There were many other lively sports
and the ball games between Heppner
and Monument were good, with honors
going to Heppner. There was not the
usual large crowd at the mill this year,
but order was good and all those GO
tng from Heppner report a fine tlms.
