living at and near Grangeville, which
is the principal city adjacent to the rich
livestock sections of the Snake and Sal

The band remains intact today, with
practically the same personnel and.
with a record of having missed but
few weekly rehearsals, under a compe-
tent director, since that date.

that has made the Cowboy band famous.

and as musicians. Not all the bows are
riders and buckaroos, of course, but
there are boys in the band who will
crawl on any buckin' horse anywhere
and make creditable ride They do
not claim to be world s champions as
buckaroos, but the fact remains that
they will mount any horse presented
and "get by.' The band includes in
its roster two trick and fancy ropers-
