After the successes of the first two
Round-Ups wild west shows began
to spring up by the dozens over the
west. 1t was at one of these that
Caldwell won his first big contest At
Tacoma in 1913 he was awarded the
first prize saddle, The same year he
won other honors over the northwest.
though he did not ride at the Round
Up. He had not ridden at the 1912
Roundup. either, having travelled
that year with the 1OI Ranch.
BY 1914 his name was familiar
one in the frontier sport world. He
was recognized as one of the best rid
ers in the country. He won six con-
tests that year, among those being
contests held at Miles City, Montana,
Salt Lake, and Idaho Falls. He took
second at Cheyenne and second at
Walla Walla.
The goal of his ambition was not
reached despite the fact that he had
won state and northwest champion
ships He wanted to win at the
Roundup in his home town where
real "honest-to-God' champions are
made.
He knew he was handicapped, be-
cause he was PendletOn boy. You

will never win at the Roundup un-
til you have proved your right to win
beyond all doubt" he had been told
by the directors who were eager to.
keep their show free from charges
of favoritism.
He came near to attaining his ambi>
ton in 1914. Fresh from many tri-
umphs he entered the Roundup con-
test. By a sensational ride on Happy
Canyon on the second day of the
show he qualified for the semi-finals
In the semi-finals Saturday he quail
flied for the finals by raktng Wiggle
In the finals he drew Speedball and
rode that longlegged demon as he had
never been ridden before. But Red
Parker of Valentine, Neb., had better
luck in drawing horses. He had rid
den Long Tom in the preliminaries
and his final two horses were Happy
Canyon and Culdesac Parker was
given first and Caldwell second.
Last year he came into his own.
He had won at Elko, Nevada, at Mis-
soula, Montana, and at Salt Lake, and
he was given third place at Walla
Walla His ride on Miss Hesitation
put him into the semi finals along
with yakima Cannutt of Pomeroy ana
Jackson Shutdown, Nez Perce In
u.an. They drew for mounts. sun
down drew Culdesac, Canutt drew
Speedball and to Caldwell fell the re- /,
doubtable Long Tom, maker and un-
maker Of champions.
Sundown and Canutt rode first and ,
both made splendid rides. Then Cald- /
well mounted Long Tom. 1t was not
the first time that ne had been on
that big sorrels back. In 1911 before
the Roundup he rode him on a bet,
but he rode him safe. This time he
was riding for a championship and
he proposed to shew that he was bet
ter than the pride OF the Roundup.
Knowing that Long Toms great
pitches caused the high cantel of the
saddle to strike the rider in the back,
Caldwell rode forward in his saddle
AS the wranglers turned him loose,
Caldwell raked him with his spurs
something no other rider had ever
dOne. Long Tom responded with a
terrible plunges. Riding forward in
the saddle as he was, the horn struck
Caldwell so forcibly IN the breast
with his first plunge that his breast
bone was broken. The pain made him
sick but he stuck to his task and
spurred the big brute fore and aft
clear across the arena,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-09-22

And right in the midst of the ride
occurred an incident that shows Cald-
wells readiness and resourcefulness
He was troubled with sprained
wrist and the first few lunges made
by Long Tom caused the halter rope
to slip through his grip. Long Tom
was heading straight for the west
end fence and the saucer part of the
track. He almost aiways heads for
that spot and Caldwell knew it. He
needed to take up some of the slack
in the rope to give him a stronger
hold, but he dared not touch the rope
with the other hand lest he be d.s
qualified. In flash came the solu-
tion, The rules said nothing about
taking the rope in your teeth. There
fore he grabbed the rope in his teeth
and held it moment while he reach
ed down with his left hand and took
up some of the SLACK. Not many of
the spectators saw this, but a good
many of the cowboys did and they tell
about it yet.
When Caldwell completed his ride
on Long Tom he was given a great
cheer. 1t was one of the greatest
rides ever seen at the Roundup. It
was time for the judges to make their
decision, but, after comforting for
some minutes, they ordered Caldwell

riding in the bucking contest. He
drew as his mount the same Judge
Fee and had to be helped into the
saddle. He made beautiful ride
and, though it did not qualify him as
a winner,it marked him for conner.
Misfortune followed him into the
1911 Roundup A few days before
the opening day, he was warming up
a racing horse belonging to Carl Pow
er when the animal stumbled and fell.
Caldwell struck on his shoulder and
It was badly sprained. The horse
suffered a broken leg and had to be
shot
With this injury he entered the
bucking contest on the first day OF
the Roundup and put on a spectac-
ular ride on Blue Blazes, the Drum

THE REAL WAY TO
GET RICH QUICK

The First National aBnk is now Of
fering to everybody in this community
men and women, girls and boys "A
real way to get rich quick.
This is how you do it:
You can join their Christmas Bank
ing Club with only dime. You make
your deposits every week. The Sec
ond week you put in twenty cents; the
third week you deposit thirty cents
and so on, putting in only ten cents
more each week than you did the
week before
At the end of fifty weeks-just be-
fore Christmas of next year when you
will feel the need of .money-you will
have saved a great big juicy $1275O.
You won't believe this until you go
into the bank and get them to give
you a Christmas Banking Club book.
They will Cheerfully do so without
cost.
You will also see how you can begin

at the end of fifty weeks have $63.75.
The bank looks out for little folks
too. A boy or a girl can start an &C.
count with only one or two cents and
at the end of fifty weeks have $12.75
or $3.50.
This is a good thing for our COM

MAJESTIC THEATRE.

When the South African river
scenes for "Hidden Valley" the Pathe
Gold Rooster Play produced by Than
houser, to be shown at the Majestic
Theatre on Thursday were being film
ed, Boyd Marshall, the leading man,
rescued the beautiful star Valkyrien
from drowning.
Valkyrien's skiff was supposed to
turn over and she was to be drawn
under by the river that plunged into
a tunnel. It had been a hard days
work, and Valkyrien collapsed as she
was swimming ashore after the capsiz-
ing scene had been made.
Mr.. Marshall, who was standing
near, not taking part in the picture,
dived in and dragged her out. Direc-
tor Ernest Warde photographed the
rescue, but the film couldn't be used
since Mr.. Marshall wasn't supposed to
see Valkyrien, according to the play,
until couple Of years later.
Douglas Fairbanks breezy and en-
gaging personality never showed to
better advantage than it does in "Am-
erican Aristocracy" which comes Fri
day. The story tells how he foils the
plot of a Mexican sympathizer, who is
sending gun powder to that country
in matted cans, and incidentally wins
the girl the filibusterer had set mis-
heart on. Thrills by the wholesale

drives hydroplane, escapes from the
