Friday and Saturday nights have
house as confetti nights at the Dis
trict fair. Heretofore there has been
but one night when the carnival spirit
was given full sway. but the popular
ity of the custom was so great that
this year the management has been
prevailed upon to extend 1t to the
last two nights of the fair. Older
people and those who have dignity
to maintain have the privilege Of
seeking the balcony on the north side
of the big pavilion. from which want
age point they may have an excellent
view of the merry makers and an
even better opportunity of hearing
the music of the Roundup band
No charge will be made for these
balcony seats as has been done before
and the arrangement should prove at
tractive to both young and old.
All the judging will be completed by
this evening unless some thing un-
foreseen occurs. II. w. Allen, super

enthusiasm and those much-quoted
words of Shakespeare have a new and
local Significance. During the next
three "tomorrows," this city will be
the center of the western world and
those unfortunate enough to be am

carnival will be listening for the echo
which will go booming forth as cham
pIons are made and unmade.
To those who have never been In
Pendleton for a Roundup the crowd
that already makes its way up and
down the streets would seem large
enough for an ordinary festival. but
the many hundreds of visitors now
here are only the advance guard OF
the thousand-fold throng that will
commence pouring in this evening.
From east and west, north and south
come fresh reports every day of the
multitude that. caught by the infec-
tlous let 'er Buck" spirit, Is making
ita noisy way to Pendleton.
There Is now no longer any question
but that the largest crowd ever gath
cred in an eastern Oregon city viii be
here for the 1913 Roundup and there
Is also no question but that the crowd
VIII be entertained as never crowd
anywhere was entertained before.
Such an assemblage of cowboys and
cowgirl riders and bucking horses has
never been seen in these parts before.
With its renown and prestige estab-
lished by three years of clean exhi-.
billions the Roundup has attracted
the worlds greatest broncho busters,
relay riders. steer ropers. bulldoggers
and trick and fancy ropers and riders.
From every range of the west they
have been pouring into the city and
the contests will be a veritable sur
vival OF the fittest.
