Story of Big Show.
BY MRS. w. A. JONES

the celebration consisting of Border
Day stunts on the range, which was held
at Flyblow, the cattle ranch of w. A.
Jones. on June IA and 10, was unique
and very different from any effort put
forward by any people to raise money
for our boys at the front.
Men, women and children came from
all directions from radius of $50 miles,
on horseback, bringing their tents and
camp outfit on packhorses; also in
wagons and hacks, most of them coming
the night Of the 18th, and remaining
until the morning of the 10th.
True Patriotism Revealed.
No greater demonstration of true
patriotism was ever shown. They cross
ed the swollen Salmon river in the bas-
ket which swung many feet in the air
on cable, with the roaring turbulent
waters below, no ferries being able to
pull across. Leslie Lee from Camas
Prairie made seven trips across in the
basket, first bringing his wife, then his
saddles and outfit Many women cross
ed in the basket and entered the grounds
with smiling faces, saying it was all
right and did not brighten them, as they
were fighting for our soldiers, and our
soldiers cannot give up and wade out
Of the half fozen mud in which they
are standing up to their knees that we
may remain at home and fight, sitting
in our arm chairs.
