DISTINGUISHED WRITER IS
HERE FOR THE ROUNDUP
ALDEN SAMPSON OF NEW YORK
Is AUTHOR OF WELL
KNOWN ESSAYS.

One of the distinguished visitors to
the 1915 Roundup will be Aldon
Sampson of New York. an author
who has gained a great deal Of reco-
gnition by his literary works. He ar
rived yesterday to be the guest Of Mr..
and Mrs A. Phimlster Proctor Of
whom he is a close friend
Mr.. Sampson is best known in the
literary world for his appreciation Of
Iohn Milton which won for him wide
spread recognition in Great Britain
and this country. This contribution
as well as his Essays on Poetry is
in the local library
Mr. Sampson and Mr.. Proctor are
both enthusiastic hunters and have
made many expeditions into the wilds
after big game. Being a red blooded
man, he could not help but grow in
terested in the Roundup after the
sculptor had written him about it and
concluded to come out and see for
himself the big show.

Happy Canyon Opens Tonight and
Everybody iSPrOmised Fun Galore
Early West to be Depicted.
PROGRAM TO Be THRILLING
Committee VIII Not Announce in Ad-
vance What Stunts Will Be, But
Their Word for it That it VIII be
Brimful OF Entertainment-Lid
Will Be Thrown Away.
Happy Canyon opens tonight.

Happy Canyon opens tonight.
That simple statement may not be
Of prime significance to the outside
world but to the thousands Of resi-
dents and visitors in Pendleton it is
a message brimful of Joy. 1t means
that the little frontier village"
where King Fun reigns, will start its
annual madmerry career this even
ing to continue through three other
nights before subsiding again into
peaceful and quiet repose.
Those who saw the first Happy
Canyon last year were crazy about
its original ideas for entertaining.
Those who see IT this year will be
plumb delirious, according to those
few who are on the inside of the ar
rangements. The program will, in
general way. follow the lines of the
1914 Happy Canyon but it will be
different, too, and there will be more
of it.
The doors will be thrown wide
open at Z o'clock and at 1880 the
band will strike up concert tunes
which will continue until the pro-
gram in the street begins. about 1850.
During the band concert Miss Doris
Reber. queen of the Roundup will
sing and later she will sing in cow
girl costume from horseback.
The street program will begin with
the dashing up of the stage coach
with the mail and the money for
Spender's Bank where interest is
charged on deposits. The committee
will not announce in advance the ex-
act nature of the program for such
an announcement would spoil the sur
prises which are in store. However.
they will say this much. There will
be bucking horses, bulls and burros
to be ridden, there will be horde of
cowboys and cowgirls to do all kinds
of stunts, there will be painted In
dians to dance and yell, there will be
plenty of comedy stuff there will be
singing and-most exciting of all
there will be a fighting steer that
will make the animal used last year
seem tame. The new terror of the
Canyon is larger, and wilder than the
late lamented brute of 1914 and has
a greater width of horn. These
horns were capped with silver balls
Yesterday to prevent the animal i'm
paling a cowboy or two.
The aftermath of the show will be
dizzy one. The Red Dog" is a gay
old place this year with its roulette
wheels. faro banks. poker tables
prize wheels and decorated bar. II
is twice as large as last year and
there will be room for everybody who
wants to hazard Ten Buck note
The big dancing pavilion is ready to
receive hundreds of couples and then
there will be plenty of amusement on
the street, too. The "shute the
shutes' will furnish all the sensation,
of sitting on the back of buckine
hroncho. Sharkey will be on exhi-
bition for those who want a close e-up
view and--well, what's the use. Come
out and see what there is to see

warns farmers they are making a
mistake in conslgning their wheat to

curing the wheat in this manner are
able to use 1t and thus do not have
to buy wheat at present. Thus they
are able to bear the price and will
be able to do so in the future If tho
