the Mexican border meet agaiu rherc
is a comfortable naturameSS Ia the
way they lounge about the ARENA on
watch with keen interest as they SIC
the chances on their stakes" rise "
tall as unknown riders or new hucls
ers battle for supremacy.
There, a bit in the shadow CheS-
ter Byers, Cuba Crutchueld Jane
, Bernoudy and other fancy ropers
play with their lariats as though
those Serpentine coils were hVng
things.
How simple Try it, ANY of them
will be only too glad to show you.
Snarled first try, Just bit of a
knack, Cuba will eneouragingly tell
You. Yes, a knack that takes years
of experimenting and an inbon
feel for a rope to accomplish.
So at try-out you forget the arena
and empty bleachers, YOU live in the
spirit of the real life with its settings
of a memoried past framing back
ground. You are just in big cow
camp with saddles and blankets ly-
ing around; cowboys, cowgirls, hors-
es, and Texas longhorns knocking
about in devil-may care sort of
way as though on Il range roundup
or at branding. You forget the
bleachers too and only look through
the sap between to the smoketipped
lodges of the Umatillas. There in
the cottonwoods these red children of
the forest and PLAIN have come to live
again the old tepee life of an almost
bygone day.
Shortly afternoon, If you do not
want to walk and haven't horse,
take one of the gray, bus-like "jit-
neys' and follow with that yeritableI
human rlver-spectators and contest
ants-which flows on the opening day
to the Roundup Park, Like a gil
gantic herd on the drive, this vast
mass of humanity streams through
the gates to their seats. Expectancy
can be sensed throughout the great
amphitheater, where evrybody wears
the gladto-see-you, glad to be here,
'let er buck" smile.
! From grandstand 10 bleacher you
! will soon look out on the swing anu
swirl of movements of a great sun
flooded oval, framed by the rolling
hills of oregon against the turquoise
of the autumn sky. Even if you are
| from as far away as the outer edge OF
| Cape Cod at low tide, a glance con-
vices you that the men, women,
horses and steers are the real thing
and the sport-an outgrowth from
the range-is genuine. 1t is the fast
est fight and tun to be found, inI
which a gripping, fascinating life isl
enacted every moment. Here meet
the greatest roughrlders of the globe,
compiling for worlds championships
on the worst outlaw horses, buckinR
bulls and DuftaIoes; in "rOp4ng wlul
steers; "bulldogging" Texas long
horns," and the various races-the
''cow-pony," relay" pony express
and 'stage-coach.' This with it's at
mosphere and character gives the
Round-Up Its charm, and makes i'll
preemlnently the peer of all cowboy
( carniVals This Is the great magnetic
B
force which draws vast audience to
Fehuletoh LOT three Whole Gays OF
each year.
