Ti shape of the combrero is the same
when the Spanish vaquero rode over
t.i" g!-'-en hills of California to the
hacienda of the rodeo. Practically all

which distinguished the outfit of 'the
i li i lkro in the golden days of the
Mv. In this equipment a rigid fash-
mi holds sway now as it did a hun-
crta years ago, when the only way the
1'jckii r cowboy could advertise his pros-
ji'-riTy wt s in the amount of gold and
filivr with which he could decorate his
sarl'llo. his bridle and his sours.
Many old timers, insist that, high as
js trie skill of the modern cowboy, the
luokaroo of bygone days in California

!"r surpassing the expertness of the
I'rtsent -day rider. Early chronicles tell
w wundirous feats, yea anyone who

any of the men whose histories tell of

One of the newest plays to open on Broadway is "The Last WaltE.
Despite the approach of warm weather it has been tremendously suc
cessful and no little of this success is said to be due to the pretty girls
who are taking part. If this is a fair sample it must be admitted that
any play would be successful no matter what the humidity of the night

thrills of a bucking contest with the
task of forcing the excited, maddened
animals to show their speed in a dash
around a quarter-mile track.
Wild horses, never before ridden,
horses that have spent their lives on
the open range, are led by the rider's
assistant to the track. When there
they are blindfolded, while a battle
royal is staged in placing saddle and
accoutrements on the animals- Then

the starter fires his gun, and the

CANADIAN LUMBER
IS GOING TO EGYPT
Vancouver, B. C, June 24. Egypt
has just placed one of the largest or
ders for manufactured lumber ever se
cured by British Columbia. Cable
grams have, been received by Van
couver banks confirming the purchase
of 24,000,000 feet of railway tk3 which
was placed by an Alexandrian firm,
acting as agent for the Government of
Egypt. One-third of the order will
be rushed forward before Junft I by
two special steamers of the Canadian
government.
Several other big contracts have
been placed by interests in England,
and every indication points to a cut
this year that will far eclipse the rec
ord figures of last ye-r, when the prov
ince turned out forest products having
an aggregate value of S9 J.233.807. The
giant lumber mills ?.'.ong the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railway, which rierces
the vast forest belt ' of Central British
Columbia are now going full blast.
British Columbia s are.t of merchant
able timber is secona in size- only to
the forests of Central Russia, and with

of timber supply. Statisticians figure
that all of Canada has 225,000,000 acres
of merchantable timber; that its pulp

miles and represent 901,000,000 cords;

California Crooks Will
Spend the Summer In
Very Exclusive Resorts
Sacramental, Calif., June 24. Califor-1
nia criminals are migrating eastward
to spend the summer months in the
exclusive summer resorts, and hotels of
cities on the Atlantic seaboard and
Middle West.
This is according to C. S. Morrill, su
perintendent of the state bureau of
criminal identification who is now
the official California observer in things
criminal.
Merrill states that he can check tp
on what typeof offenders are working
the state by keeping careful watch of
the crimes committed, the manner of
commitment, the loot obtained, etc.
The state identification expert de
clares that eastern burglars are less
cautious in their movements than "na
tive California crooks." The eastern
ers shoot off the locks of doors or
cabinets they wish to gain entrance
to. says Morrill while California prowl
ers gently "pick" the , locks and, as a
rule, have far greater sucess in acniev
ing their objective. Between Decem
ber and April, the majority or tne iocks
are shot off, safes are blown up, etc.,
according .to Morrill. After April the
California "light fingered" variety are
to be at work, and this is the present
situation, Morrill affirms.
"They've left us for the summer,
Morrill declared, "but they'll ' be back
hv winter as sure as the snow falls in
the east. Why? Because these east
ern crooks, like all intelligent Deings,
prefer California's winter climate to
that of the east. Also because they
know the wealthy easterners have a
similar inclination, which makes Cali
fornia a profitable field.
