cided that some substitute must be
found and. as long as a substitute
was necessary, they decided that the
substitute should be better than the
original. Happy Canyon was the re-
suit.
Al a Commercial Club meeting the
matter was thoroughly discussed and
It was unanimously decided to origl-
nate a new kind of entertainment that
would be a fit and proper supple
ment to the Roundup Not many
years ago Pendleton was rough,
wide-open frontier town. full Of he'll
and hilarity, and It was just naturally
| decided TO resurrect a few Of the
pastimes that once flourished here
and offer them in harmless form to
the seekers for new sensations.
The old fair pavilion was secured
and soon hammers and saws were
noisily busy in creating a replica OF
the old frontier town of the western
plains, one side Of the pavilion was
taken up for the seats for the audi
ence and on the other side was built
the town" A street" led through
the middle and the audience at the
first entertainment was fronted by
4 row M store fronts borderirg tbis
/ street.
Rough, weather beaten lumber was
used in building these fronts and the
effect was to recall those pioneer
towns with which history ana ro-
