ALL ABOUT THE
BIC ROUNDUP
Continued from page II

pulled off locally and the time is ripe
for the offering of the northwest
championship. Each local contest
which has been held or which may
be held in the future will only serve
as the booster and feeder for the
northwest championship contest held
at Pendleton. If Pendleton should
mold a race meet, spending five times
the money necessary in order to hold
a successful frontier carnival, the
crowd attracted would be entirely To-
CAL as the Wala Walla, North Yaki-
ma, Lewiston, Condor, Spokane,
Portland, Salem and Boise races would
draw from their respective localities,
to the detriment of Pendleton's meet.
With a unique attraction such as the
northwest frontier championship car
nival, Pendleton will be able to draw
largely from all these points.
Transportation.
During the three-day carnival the
largest number of visitors ever in
the city at one time is expected and
the promoters intend to run special
trains from Walla Walla and Hepp-
iNl anu d SptCldl
mems excursion. In addition to this
they expect a number of Cheyenne
contestants to come to Oregon to con-
test for the northwest championship.
Finances.
The funds of the organization will
be raised by selling stock fully paid
and non -assesSable, par value $40 per
| share and in order to make the or
ganization as representative as pos
sible, each man is asked to take but
one share. 1t is not feasible to carry
out the plans for the present year
without a fund of at least $4,000 and
it is therefore necessary that the or
ganization have the financial support
! of every man in Pendleton and its
immediate vicinity in raising that
| amount.
| Publicity.
| 1t is the intention to cover not only
the territory in the immediate vicin-
! ity of Pendleton, but the entire north
west. 1t is encouraging to learn that
notices outlining the plans have been
published in practically every paper
| in eastern oregon as well as numer-
Gus Washington and Idaho papers
and that the big dailies of Spokane,
Portland and Seattle consider the
event of sufficient Importance to give
it news space in their columns.
Cooperation.
The people of Pendleton should be-
gin at once TO lay their plans to care
for the crowds which will undoubtedly
be in Pendleton during the Round
| Up" Men who have come from the
interior of the state report that large
| numbers of people are already plan
ming to come in and the city must keel
up its reputation for handling large
gatherings in a satisfactory manner
A spectacular parade is planned fol
one day and the different business
houses and organizations are asked tC
supply floats and other features fol
this parade. 1t is not desired to make
an advertising parade, but rather thai
all features be symbolic of pioneer
DAYS and frontier life. Those cor
responding either in a business ol
social way with people from outside
of town should incorporate in thei,
correspondence some reference tc
Pendleton's "Round-Up" festival, Civ.
ing in this manner a personal touch
to the general campaign of publicity
which is being conducted. and letting
the people know that ample enter
tainment will be provided by th'
"Round-up" and third district fair
both of which will be in progress dur
ing the last week of September. D..
Those in charge of the "Round-Up'
feel that they have proposition
which is destined to become one o
the leading entertainment features o
the northwest and ask the co-opera
ton and support of the communit!
in fulfilling the possibilities of thi'
form of entertainment.
