BEST SHOW EVER.

(Consinued from page -


"Bill" Jones provided the cattle and
says, had the fencing been of more
substantial nature, he would have had
some wild enough for anyone here.
The "Duke Of Tolo', as the buck
ing bull raised by Cy Lee has been
christened, in his exhibition Saturday,
gave the moving picture man pic
ture for which he will not take $500.
The bull, by the way, was sought by
Pendleton but the Border Days people
closed deal for him Saturday and he
is now their property.
The moving pictures taken of the
show, are among the best of that nature
ever made. They are being put out by
the American Telegraph Co., at Port
land independent firm, and will be
shown at Spokane fair week, also at
Pendelton this week. The various state
rights will be sold to other companies.
Over 5000 feet of film was used in tax
ing them.
Art Accord, who was badly injured
Thursday has been confined to his room
at the Imperial until Wednesday morn
ing. A bad left leg required constant
attention Of doctor and it is very
doubtful if he will participate in the
Pendleton show.
Mrs. Blancett does not like the idea
of her husband doing the steer bull
logging and it will be recalled by those
who witnessed his work in this line,
that his wife was always near when he
made the leap from the horse to the
steers back, telling him when to make
the jump.
Del Eagle received an injury Thurs
day, getting couple of severe kicks
in the side, and was not at his best
after that. The game is rough one
and while Eagle was suffering from
his injuries, he went into the arena and
roped, road and tied the toughest of
them.
The agricultural display, while not
as extensive as of former years, con-
tanned some excellant samples of grains,
products, etc. At this time the COM
plete list of premium winners is not
available but we expect to be able to
publish them later.
A number Of schools, including those
at Cottonwood and Grangeville, were
closed during the celebration so as to
permit the attendance Of the pupils.
"Rich'' Nash Of the Salmon River,
John Baer of Cottonwood and Arthur
Overman of Grangeville, who were the
judges, gave universal satisfaction and
filled well a most difficult position.
The time keepers were Ed Knorr of
Grangeville and Henry Elfers of the
Salmon River country. Both made
ideal men for the place.
Next year g shows promises to be the
biggest ever, already arrangements are
being made for Texas cattle and wild
horses from the southwest. These with
the local stock will furnish all kinds of
material for the punchers to work on.

| L. NJ. Harris the efficient chairman,
is emitted to whole lot of praise for
the manner in which he filled his office.
The position is very trying one and
Harris had much to contend with. He
never was too busy however, to give a
civil answer and straighten out any
tangles.
Seth Jones was taken by the moving
picture man and will be featured as the
biggest COW boy in the world. The
weight Of Seth and his saddle is $50
pounds. Who can beat it,

For the size of the crowd handled
there was little trouble and the police
calendar is a very light one. Every
body was inclined to "Cut EN- Loose'
and also accord the other fellow the
same privilege.
Frank Van Deventer had no easy job
in keeping the records Of the show.
