M'M|NNV|LLE TO
HAVE BIG ROUNDUP
Big Parade Begins at 1890
Wednesday, October
Fourth

The fact that McMinnville is to have
real roundup with all of the most
approved and modern features, the
thrills and the gasps at the feats of
daring performed by the cowboys and
cowglrls-a real modern reproduction
of the olden times on the frontier. is
a new epoch in the history of this
stald and quiet community.
The word comes from all parts of
western Oregon that whole families
and whole neighborhoods and their
families are passing up the circus for
the sake of coming to the great Round
Up.
No expense or labor and pains have
been spared in the matter of making
the fair grounds which have fallen in
to disuse for several years, conven-
lent for the performances, comfortable
for those in attendance and eommodi-
GUS for the parking of automobiles.
Over four hundred feet in length and
twelve tiers high are being added to
the grand stand already THERE, the
track is being worked over and fresh
ened up, and, already il is one of the
best half mile tracks on the coast and
highways are being improved for the
ease of those in attendance in reach
ing the grounds.
The people of McMinnville are en-.
thnsiastic in anticipation of the throngs
of their near and far ncighbors to
whom they are anxious to give a

its turn.
The long season and the abundant
harvest has made the farmers want a
spell of relaxation and they will sure
ly have it here.
Parade Oct. L. at 10 a. m.
The old timers of Yamhill, the orig
inal Oregonians, are taking interest in
tho feature of the parade to revive and
restore for the time at least some of
the old features of pioneers days such
as the prairie schooner and the OK
team, the Rockaway stage coach and
such features as will bring tears to
the eyes of the Forty Miners in the
reminiscense.
The Automobile Dealers association
of Portland propose making an auto
mobile show in the spacious auditor
ium that will rival the society events
of the Metropolitan communities.
Many of the best and newest and
most novel of the motor vehicles and
even a display of Fords and Saxons
will vie with their bigger and more
saucy rivals for the admiration of
those interested in speed.
The Firemen' contest will be an
evening feature and many costly and
useful prizes will be hotly contested
for.
Care will be taken to see that with
all of the tests of skill and strength
in pitting the COW boy and the cow girl
against the wild and untamed beasts
of the range, that there shall be no.
thing that will shock or offend the re-
fined sensibilities.
Assurances of large delegation
from Portland have been given and all
who fail to take advantage of this
festival of sport brought right to their
very doors will miss the greatest op-
portunity they have had presented to
see the fast passing range life in all
its picturesqueness.
Preparations are made to care for
any sized crowd that may attend.
