IN the heart OF the young and com
ing great men Of the West and the
standard Of manhood is thus raised
another degree. BY staging this
meeting the retired sportsman and
man who was at one time the man
Of the saddle, is given n treat that
feasts his love for the true and
genuine as he has been brought up
10 know. Thus the supreme gift
of life Is exercised by our boys
Of today, that Of administering to
the happiness and pleasure Of our
seniors az they did In their heyday
of youth.
This great gathering Is made each
year on that most memorable Of
all American days-July Fourth
the day when Independence for the
greatest of all nations that inhabit
the globe was declared
Three days of festivities are plan
ned, commencing the Fourth of
July and ending at midnight Of
the Sixth. An arena with seating
capacity for $4,000 people is built
on the ideal ground for the pur-
pose at the edge Of Dewey. In this
arena daily roping and riding con-
tests are given. Prizes to the eH-
tent Of 81 400 are thus far offered this
year for the winners in the con
test, and in addition thereto a dla-
mond medal worth several hundred
dollars is to be given to the man
who makes the best time in rop-
ing and teing steers. The winner
Of this medal Is compelled to de-
fend it the second year after WIN
ming It or forfeit 1t to the winner the
year following the one in which
he wins 1t.
A car load OF the widest horses
obtainable Is shipped in from Juarez,
Mexico, for the riders to work upon.
The steers for the occasion are
bought from the c d Ranch Of
southwestern Texas. They. are real
snakey, SHORTY steers, as that class
Of wild, untamable animals are
called, and have seldom seen human
being since the time they were
first branded calves until rounded
up and shipped to Dewey to match
their brute force and animal in
stinct against the skill and science
Of the trained cowboy roper. These
steers are selected from several
thousand head as being the best OBJ
tainable for this purpose, and are
the best possible type for con.
test where the championship Of the
world Is to be competed for.
On the opening day a big barbe-
cue is given, when roast steer a la
Early Days, catch-as-catch,can style,
is served free. Many other real ma
tive amusements will be staged and a
grand old time will be accorded all
for the three big days.
This event has been growing from
year to year until now, In its fifth
year, 1t Is taking the form of
mighty organization Of native strength
and force and shows all the ear
marks OF a steadily and rapidly
growing institution founded upon
true American principles which will
never die, and which the cowboy Of
the West says shall never die. The
first year only some two thousand
people were In attendance. The last
year close to 10000 people attend
ed. This year excursions are being
plsnned from Kansas City, Joplin,
Pittsburgh, Parsons, Muskogee, Okla
homa City and all points In Mis-
souri,. Kansas and Texas, and pro-
gram that will draw from all over
the world. Ropers and contestants
from all quarters Of the globe are
now booked for the event.
