"I0I RANCH" SHOW TO
EXHIBIT HERE. MAY 10

In recent agricultural article the
New York Herald said: THE 101
Ranch is the largest and most re-
nowned stock and agricultural ranch
in the United States consisting Of
over thirty square miles. Five hun
dred farm hands are required to har
vest the crops, and several hundred
cowboys look after the $4,000 head
of cattle. The Miller Brothers own
one-tenth Of all the American buff
faloes in the country"
This is the home of the 101 Ranch
Real Wild West Show which will be
here May 10. 1t is from the ranch
that the show derives it's name and
the ranch in turn takes it's name
from the brand "101" that is placed
on the left hip of all live stock of
the ranch. The same people that
own the ranch are the owners of the
show and a truer ring of the genuine
could not be had. The show is truly
western in the most minute detail and
there is nothing that could be con-
sidered foreign to the west in any of
its many departments. 1t is not the
show that is founded on the ideas

that fiction has spread broadcast and
SO unreal, but the foundation that
served as a basis at the time of Its
organization and which had been ad-
hered to sacredly since is realism. per-
sonal experiences and individual
knowledge of western things as they
were and are. While other alleged
wild west shows have based their or
ganization on blood and thunder In
cidents cleaned from the books with
the yellow covers the 101 Ranch Real
Wild West Show has successfully Of
fered that which has tendency to
elevate, educate and entertain. or
course there are number of feature
acts the portrayal Of which necessi-
tates the use of firearms but they
have not been made the basis Of the
exhibition There is much more in
teresting than pistol shots, long hair
and Indian whoops with the 101
Ranch. To particularize would neces-
state an exhaustive treatise but to sum
up it is only necessary to say that
the past and present of the west is
literally transported from that inter
esting part Of this world to your very
fre-sideS.

two huge bundles of papers bearing
the names of $500 people throughout

be withdrawn. He presented them and
