 Stay Cowboy! Let Ter Buck!
 Plans for the big Frontier Days eel ebration at Prescott, for which the Mile High City is famous, are now un- der way and it goes without saying that the 1919 Frontier Days, which will be held at Prescott July 2-3-4-5, will be the best and biggest of it's kind ever staged by the Frontier Days Association. There is not like cele- bration in the West which compares with the big contests held at Prescott. Approximately $10y000 in cold cash is hung at the rangemen of the world, and this is, in the true sense of the word, for the contestants come from every nook and corner of the globe to participate in the events.
 Hundreds and hundreds of tourists will be in the Mile High City to wit ness the contests. Governor Campbell has already accepted an invitation of the Association and will be in Prescott on July 4th. Notables, including writ CTS, artists, politicians, moving pie ture stars, scenario writers and every one in general find keen delight in being on the ground to view the fas- cinating sports of the range.
 The widest, meanest bunch of broncs that ever trod the range are those owned by the Frontier Days As sociation. Owing to the war, the off cial 1918 Frontier Days was postponed and as a result these "devils" have been merely taking life easy and wait ing for the 1919 Days to roll along. The names of the broncs are sufficient for the layman: "Red Wing", Big Sid", "Red Fox", Johnny Cantrell", "Vinegar Roane", "Pee Wee", "Hal- ter, "Black Snip", Panther, "Pitch Fork, Eagle, Unknown, "Hob- bles", "Rankey Bill", "Casey Jones', Kaiser Bill", "Blue Dog", "Tango Anne", 'Iowa". The broncs will be brought from pasture about the first of June and given every opportunity to become familiar with the Frontier Days arena. The wild Sonora steers for the steer-beak-away, roping and bull-dogging are from three to four years old and are known far and wide. They are evenly graded as to weight, length of horns, etc., and will be on the grounds days ahead of the events, so as to avoid any possibility of foot soreness.
 The bulls are the "wildest of the wild" gathered all the way from the snow-capped peaks of Granite moun- tain to the darkest, toughest jungles of Burro creek to the south. They are we'll graded and in excellent con dition. The wild horses for the wild horse races have been snatched from the wild mustang herds of the Mogol- lon mountains and have just been out lawed.
 The entire program of the 1919 Frontier Days is attractive; the print ing end of the job is excellent; the front page bearing the vignette of the cowboy, which has made Prescott fam ous. On the back page is found the following tribute to the men who have been in service and to whom this years celebration is their official homecoming; "The war is over Victory is ours. To her gallant sons, who helped make victory possible by their noble service at home and abroad Yavapai County bids welcome to their homecoming, The Prescott Frontier Days. Yavapai County's war record, both military and civilian has given her a place among the leading coun- ties of the nation. The number of her men who have been in service; the amount of money invested in bonds and savings stamps; the money sub scribed to every war activity and the willing workers with needle and thread, made the record and assured the victory. Now is the time to re- joice and the place of rejoicing dur ing the Prescott Frontier Days, July 2-3-4-5."
