.ELK0 RODEO ENDS
WITH GRAND BALL.
GOVERNOR THERE

COWBOY Bill made a good show.
ing but his horse, unfortunately
for him, got away and Of course he
lost time, before he recapturcd the
horse and saddled him. Others who
made good showings in this contest
were: Biscarro. Adams. and Sam
Young.
During the afternoon Governor
Oddie made a short address in
which he praised Elko's Rudco, paid
tribute to the daring riders and
commended the committees for the
success of the show. Governor Ud-
die said the Rodco was a great
thing not alone for Elko, but also
for EIko County and the whole
state Of Nevada and he hoped that
next year Elko's RodCo would be
advertised throughout the United
States. He said he had never seen
anything Of the kind which equal
led the riding he had witnessed yes
tcrday and all Nevada should be
proud If the brave and fearless men
who were here to do battle for
the honor of the noblcst state Of
the West. Governor Oddie was
greeted with hearty applause at the
conclusion OF his remarks.
After the days program had
been concluded the great crowd
left the grounds and went to a
nearby SPOT where the barbecue
was held. There was plenty OF the
finest beef for everybody. Like
wise there was goodly supply of
other edibles to go with the barbe-
cued beef. 1t was a feast and
everybody enjoyed it immensely.
Mr. Garcia who had charge of the
barbecue is deserving Of the high
est praise for it was one Of the fin.
est spreads Of its kind ever held in
EIko County. There was no hitch.
Everything was perfect and in
readiness when the crowd arrived.
After the barbecue the crowd
moved up town and in the evening
the concluding chapters of the Ro-
deo was carried out.
On the streets there was a gay
crowd and shortly after dark
confetti battle began. Hundreds
took part and the fun was kept up
for hours. There was no trouble
and no one lost their tempers. Ey-
crything passed off in fine shape
and about midnight the rcvelry
ceased. Over at the Bradley Opera
House a pretty dance was in full
swing and one of the happiest par
Elephants was Governor Oddie. The
dance lasted Until an early hour this
morning. When it was concluded
ElKos first Rodcu was at an end.
Local and County officers were
on the joh night and day but they
did not have any trouble handling
the crowds which were very orderly
and good naturod. But too much
praise cannot be given TO the fine
work OF Constablcs Fcrnald and

men

AEVADANS HONORED

San Francisco-Two men well
known in Nevada have been ap-
pointed resident Portola commiss-
toner's at Reno and Carson City, ac-
cording to announcement made to-
day by the Portola Festival Com
mlttee. The resident commissi sioner
at Reno is DR. H A Brown, promi-
nent in professional and CONNER
cial circles; and at Carson City the
commissioner designated is Mr. Geo
| 7 Mills.
These commissioners will co-ordi-
nate the plans for Nevada's partici-
patton in the PortoIa Festival of
October % to %, which is to cele-
brate the 4OOth anniversary of the
discovery of the Pacific Ocean by
Vasco Nunez de Balboa.
Both commissioners have already
notified the Portola committee that
they believe their communities will
share in an elaborate manner in the
Pacific coasts celebration in Octob.
er.
Similar resident commissioners
have already been appointed in the
principal cities of California and
IN the large communities of the
west, including Portland, Seattle,
Salt Lake City. Spokane, Victoria,
3. c.. and Honolulu.
The Portola plans have reached
such state that 1t is certain that
the big fiesta will be the greatest
thing of the kind ever given in the
West. Pledges of cooperation have
been pouring in from all quarters
of California and with almost two
months before the opening date,
application for space in the big
Portola parades have been made by
from the Mexican line
into Can e ds. The striking aggregs-
tion of floats which will make the
day pageantry will present a wider
territory than has ever been COM
bined in one celebration west of
Chicago.
The Portola program is growing
apace. 1t already includes many
features attempted in no previous
celebration. The night electric
will be the most splendid
on record, electric floats depicting
historic vessels from the trireme
to the Dreadnought passing through
the main streets firing cannon balls
Of confetti over the head of the
crowds. The decorations being
planned for San Francisco excel all
other plans on record. One of the
chief features Of the ur.day fes-
tival will he n sporting carnival in
which stars of national and interna-
tional rcpute, as well as the fore
most athletes of tie west, from one
end of the Pacific Coast to the 9TH
er will compete.
While Don Gaspar de Portols dis
coverer of the San Francisco Bay,
and first Governor of California,
was the central figure in the first
Portola given in 1909, the spotlight
this year will fall on Vasco Nunez
de Balboa, discoVerer Of the Paci-
fc.

Elko's great three day Rodeo
now only matter of history ant
q pleasant memory for the thous
snds who attended the big show
II was the most remarkable of 1t
kind ever held in the west. There
we're no accidents. no quarrcls, M
drunKs. On the other hand every
body was happy and enjoyed the
Rodeo immensely. The prize!
were given to the winners as they
were awarded. the cash prizes
we're paid on the grounds as fast
they were won. The riders and
contestants were given a square
deal all the way round and they
were greatly pleased with IN,
promptness in which they received
their prizes.
George Adams won the Sl0C
championship belt given by G S
Garcia for the best riding. Tn,
belt carries with it the champion
ship of Nevada. Jack FletchC
made a wonderful ride in this con,
test in which FIVE were entered
He was the first man to ride and
had Moving Picture, the nCanest
horse on the field. Over confd,
ence at the finish Of his ride lost
him the championship. George
Adams, the Indian was the last Of
the FIVE riders and he had an
equally mean horse. Adams by
popular approval won the cham
pionship. After the belt had been
awarded to Adams he was asked
to give an exhibition ride on Nov
ing Pictures and was offered $50 to
do so by Mr.. Garcia but refused to
give an exhibition ride on Moving
Pictures. Mr. Garcia then called
for volunteers and Jack Flctchar
willingly took Moving Pictures for
another ride. This time Fletcnar
was more careful hut he gave an
exhibition Of riding the excellence
Of which has never been eXcellcd in
the west. Moving Picture huckcd
harder than at any time during the
Rodeo and Fletchar surely did rake
him a plenty. This time FlCtchar
made a perfect ride and the great
crowd IMPLY went wild.
A popular subscription taken up
and a handsome purse was given to
Fletcher who was hailed as the
king Of the riders at the Elko Ro.
deo.
The heavy rain of Tuesday had
abated yesterday morning and II
hot sun quickly dried the grounds
so they wege in good shape for yes
terduys events. The day was ideal
and the crowd was large.
Mrs Bernal made splendid ride
In the womans riding contest and
her ride was the more spectacular
because she had n very ugly horse.
She won the prize.
Morris VALDEZ, the Elko boy was
without doubt the hest all round
cowboy on the field and would have
probably carried off several prizes
had he took part in the contests
Some Of the contestants protested
against him on the ground thai
he had been with Mr. Garcia il
picking out the horses for the Ro
dco and thereby knew the horse
and possibly had an advantage ovci
the others. There was nOthiLJ
reasonable in this protest but Nj
Valdez Is a thorough gentleman
and n game sportsman and so h
gracefully submitted to the protcs
against him.
But he was the recipient of
great honor yesterday when by re
quest of Governor Oddic he gave
hrst cllss exhibition ride for tn
governor. Mr. Valdez was allowe
to enter the roping and ridin
contest and made "A runaway rae
OF it. His time for roping an
saddling his horse was 10 seconds
