Popular With Crowd.

oio every appearance on tn,
track or in the arena was the SIGMA
for the crowd in the grandstand to pet
up and howl with delight. When he
won the Championship of the Pacific
Coast in the bucking contest by riding
fhoenlx, Square Deal and Cyclone
George Dewey and T. r. had NOTHING
on the sturdy young buckaroo for
popularity. He was the uncrowned
KING. And, best of all, was the modest
way in which the "King of Riders
wore his laurels. There is nothing of
the braggard about Acorn. He knows
his work and he does it. That is all
there is to it. He probably enjoys the
applause but he does not beg for it..
Apparently he even goes out of the
way to escape it. And the crowd likes
his attitude.
Accord belives that the worst bunch
OF bucking horses ever got together
were in the paddock at the Rodeo here.
lie has been riding all over the west
for years and has taken part in most
of the big Wild West events in recent
years
Among the bucking stock coming is
Champion the horse that won first
money of 500 at Calgary as the worst
bucker. This animal tossed IA out of
possible Is and was dread of the riders.
Another "outlaw' ''Gaviota'', will
also be here for all the scratching the
boys care to give him.
Bertha Blanchett, a young lady who
has mastered the art of sticking to the
back of cayouse as well as doing trick
and fancy riding, will arrive the first
of the week to appear each and every
day in the arena. This lady carried off
all kinds of money at Calgary, including
second for the best lady rider. Dell
Blanchett, another old favorite of the
game, who appeared at Pendleton last
year, comes direct from the "Stam-
pede" and will give exhibitions of
bronco busting every day. These peo-
pie are engaged for the Pendleton show
and go direct from here to that city
The price paid was handsome one
but the reputation they have the coun-
try over convinced the management
that the people would appreciate their
desire to give the public these additio-
nal attractions.
At ten O'Clock on Wednesday morn
ing the show will be opened by a |
parade and at 80 in the afternoon,
Governor Hawley will deliver speech |
on the pioneer life and western ideals
which will mark the official opening
and usher in four days of lively events.
The birdman, who will make six
flights during the show, will arrive
Monday night and the people who have
never seen flights by an airship need
have no fear of disappointment. The
attraction is a guaranteed one.
In the way of night amusement, a 4
car carnival company, which has been
at Dayton this week, will
arrive Sunday night and the down town
streets will be given over at night to
this kind of entertainment as well as
Independent shows, thus as
surfing lively evenings. The big bowery
will also attract its shares of joy
seekers.
The agricultural display promises
10 be all that was expected and will also
be located down town. Taken all in
all, Grangeville never has attempted
such an enterprise than the one offered
his year and it cannot be compared with
any attempts in the past. The Border
Days will be the largest, most novel
md pleasing entertainment you have
,ver witnessed and its magnitude can
lot be understood without first having
