PLAN NIGHT PROGRAM
FOR ROUNDUP VISITORS
DUCED AT FAIR PAVILION
SITE. SAYS J. r. RALEI.

In order 10 give the thousands OF
visitors TO Pendleton during Round
up week some entertainment during
the evenings, the Commercial asso-
citation will convert the fair pavilion
into a typical western frontier village
such as this city was in her infancy
and there Will be plenty Of fun, such
as was popular in the days Of AZ

J. Roy Raley, one OF the origina-
tors Of the Roundup and president
OF the association for the first two
years, viii have charge of this fea-
ture OF Penjleton's big celebration
having volunteered his services gratis
toward making the entertainment
success. The board Of directors OF
the Commercial association at once
accepted his offer, recognizing his
ability and experience as a most
needed asset. They were willing TO
remunerate him for his services but
he chose to work without pay.
Mr.. Raley viii be given complete
charge of the entertainment and will
be empowered TO select such mem
hers Of the association on his commit
tee as he sees fit He has a number
Of ideas but until he develops them.
he will not give out anything for pub
lication.
Il IS the intention TO charge small
admission TO the pavilion and inside
tickets will be sold which viii entitle
the visitors to participate in such fea-
lures OF the entertainment as they
see fit. For instance there will be
a big dancing pavilion, where the
/ dances which were dear TO the heart
Of cowboy and miner. will be danced
I There will be fake bars and fake
gambling halls and everything else
I that will suggest the west that has
passed into history and romance. The
Commercial association bids fair tc
make some money on the entertain
ment and. if it does. the funds vii
be, used toward refurnishing the clut
rooms. However. the main idea
which is actuating the board OF man
ayers Is that some entertainment
must be provided for the throng o.
T visitors in the evening.
The days Of '4s" will be put OF
with the full consent and cooperation
OF the Roundup board but will IL
no wise duplicate any Of the feature!
