REAL HELL

Here is what recent numoer Of

say about the Pendleton Round.Up;
The real woody, hell-to -skelter rid

the movies, nor do the itinerant shows
of Buffalo Bill and MS imitators give
even faint idea of the real article.
To see riding that is riding one must
take week off and visit the frontier

heart strong enough to stand three
days of excitement pitched in high c
Pendleton is town of 5000 in CEN
trail Oregon. In the country where real
cowboys still survive. During the
September festivities the 5000 Pendle-
tonians entertain between 10000 and
10000 visitors Even the churches
during the Roundup week are trans
formed into dormitories and the hos
pital is always filled to capacity with
grinning victims of hoof, horn or
stage coach wheel. Every event is
guaranteed to bring the grandstand-
capacity 25.0O0-to its feet, bowling
and gasping. Genuine wild horses,
animals that have never felt the touch
of saddle or spur are brought to the
Roundup in droyes directly from the
ranges. Several hundred Cmatllla
Indians from the nearby reservation
compete for the substantial prizes and
the best riders Of the Northwestern
ranchers, male and female, white, !
red and black, wave their hats, risk
life and limb to make three Roman
holidays for the pop-eyed crowds
Since its beginning the Pendleton
Roundup has been a community en-
terprise, It's profits being used for the |
acquisition and development Of a city |

LET'ERBUCK

Slogans may come and slogans may
go, but this slogan goes on forever. It
has been the official slogan of the
Roundup since the first year.
Let 'er Buck" There's something
about 1t that compels utterance. once
heard, never forgotten and frequent
ly repeated That's It, You can't get
away from It, no matter how gtaid,
how sedate, or how taciturn you are
Fathers may reprImand their boys
for mouthing 1t, but they might az
well try to dam the waters of Niagara
Mothers may admonish their daugh-
ters in tones Of holy horror against
using the unrefined cry of the Round
Up, but they cannot suppress it. They
themselves cannot refrain at times
from making It the expression Of
their exuberance,
Since the origin Of the Round-Up
this unparalleled slogan has spread,
until It no longer has a mere local ut
terance. Its popularity has led the
management of other frontier shows
to adopt It, or weakly to initiate 1t;
but never can they steal II away.
1t possesses all Of the qualifications
necessary for really good slogan
namely brevlty, originality and snap
Furthermore. It is typical Of the from
tier and charged with the very spirit
Of the Roundup.
Who originated the slogan, do you
ask? There are several who claim
the credit but the community has
never cared sufficiently to try out the
claims. They have the slogan; It has
become famous and they intend to
hold on to 1t until It dies of senile de-
cay. Until then, Let er Buek!"

calculated to take the desire To be a
ouckaroo out of the ordinary man.
But not so with "Dutchy" as the cow
boys call him. He had hardly got
MS breath until he asked to ride Nc,
Kay, the wicked little calico Indian
horse.
Perseverance was rewarded Nc
Kay had to be thrown to be saddled
and when he got up the young
'orown-sweatered fellow who had be-
come a joke to the spectators was as
trlde him. Mckay unwound himself
and went through a varied assortment
of twists But Meter, ignoring the
natter rope, seized the horn of the
saddle in both hands and hung on
with bulldog grip. Two or three
ties he almost went but he righted
himself and stayed until picked up.
His eighth trial had not resulted in
a fall, although he had pulled leather.
When he was helped down the crowd
gave him as much of cheer as if he
had ridden in the most approved
form. They could not help but ad
mlre his nerve and his determination
to become a broncho buster at what
ever cost.
On the very next day he was thrown
by Grandma" after he had made
the best ride of his short career and
he struck so hard that his shoulder
was broken.

Betting In Wall Street Slow After

Wall street had expected that the

awakened betting on the comming pres

withstanding that the financial dis

up money to wager on the ex-justice

According to Edward McQuade, who

spicuous by its absence, and that form
