worst bucking broncs would come to
that town for the celebration.
Cheyenne, Wyo., was the first town
to hold an official Roundup" about
nual contests are called the Cheyenne
Frontier Days Celebration.
Annually, other famous western
"Round-ups' are held at such places
as Pendleton, ore; Amarillo, Tex;
Phoenix, Ariz; Miles City, Mont;
towns in every western state.
z Roundup is the word that, be-
longs to the real west. The original
meaning of the word concerns the
rounding-up of cattle on the range
by the cowboys for various ranch pur-
poses. Later, 1 will explain how this
is done. The word, "rodeo," is the
Spanish or Mexican term for the same
thing
The bucking bronc-buster is as
game man, as square contestant,
and as fine a sporting gentleman as
there is in this world. And, boys, it
is the most dangerous sport in the
world. There are very, very few-if
| any-veteran bronc-busters alive to-
day who do not bear honorable scars
from their younger sporting days
Besides the bucking horse-riding
! contest, there are many other sporting
events at the Frontier Days celebra-
tons. There is the bareback buck
ing horse-riding contest, steer riding,
steel bulldogging, wild horse race,
trick and fancy riding, pony express
fancy race, steer roping contest, trick
and fancy roping, relay races, Roman
standing races, stagecoach race
chuckwago race. catch and saddle
race, and many other events. There
\ are also contests for the cowgirls and
Indians.
Boys, I have witnessed sporting
events of all kinds-prize fights be-
tween world champions; baseball
football and hockey games; horse
races and automobile races; swimming
and high-diving: yachting and boat
racing-but, I take my hat off to the
Roundup" particularly the buckine
| bronco riding contest. 1t is the mos'
thrilling sport in the world.
Question Box-No. 4.
How do you ride a buckine
bronco?"
So many American boys have asked
me this question that 1 am going tc
devote my entire space to the neces-

sary explanation of rules and cowboy
expressions.
First, the bronco is singled out of
the corral and driven into the chute.
which is a runway in which the bronco
can be saddled safely and quickly. and
SO that the rider can get a fair grip
in the saddle.
There is still another way CT start
ing contest between man and horse
in the field away from the chutes.
The horse to be ridden is cared
down, which means he is grasped by
the ears by another mounted cowboy
and his head held firmly against the
neck of the other horse, while the
rider throws on his saddle and cinches
it up. He then mounts very slowly
and. very carefully. At the given word
OF the referee, the bronco is turned
loose and the contest is on.
The rider leaves the starting place
with both feet in the stirrups. and
both spurs in the shoulders. The cow
boy must scratch the bronze five times
in both shoulders in the first seven
jumps. then both ways.
u Scratching" means to rake the
bronze with the spurs. This makes the
bronc buck harder and the contest
ride more sporty. But don't think it
is cruelty, because the rowels are al
ways covered with tape.
Riders always draw for mounts.
contest are just plain dynamite" it
doesn't make much difference. If
horse fails to buck. however a rider
can apply for another mount. Slick
saddles with not more than a four
teen-inch fork are usedS All spur
rowels are covered with tape, no steel
showing. Riding is done with a plain
halter, and one rein, with no knots
or wraps around the hand. The rider
must hold the rein thirty inches from
\ l,al%
an unfair advantage of his horse.
The cowboy must ride with one
hand free and he cannot change
hands on the rein. Wrapping the rein
around the hand doesn't go. Pulling
leather is absolutely forbidden. This
means to. touch the saddle or the
/ bronc with the hands, or gfabbing a
of the saddle horn. Cowpunchers
! have humorous name for the horn
of q saddle. They call it the safety
valve" In other words, boys, all
tricks which might prove unfair to a
game horse are forbidden by the
contest rules The cowboy must ride
free.
When I was boy in the Dakota
territory they didn't have all these
rules. In a later chapter, I will de-
scribe for you the old days of bronze
busting and how the sport originated.
Boys, riding bucking broncos is
not a game fo- everybody. 1t is a
contest between a man and an I'M
tanned horse for mastery. in which
the greatest of skill and endurance is
required of the rider. Many famous
| broncos of the American west have
never been ridden. but there can al
ways be~found plenty of cowboys who
are game to try their luck. Many are
injured; some even killed. 1t is the
sport of red-blooded he-men of the
great outdoors.

Boys, the greatest sporting event in
the American west, even in such a
modern day, is the Roundup. or
"Rodeo."
These words mean a championship
cowboy contest.
From the early days. when the
American west first became a cattle
country there have been such con-
tests. because the cowboy is a true
sporting gentleman. In this twentieth
century, however, a Roundup COM
prises many more competitive events
than in the old days.
Bucking horse-riding contests have
always been the chief event of any
Roundup" in the hearts of all real
westernerS.
In the early days of the west. before
there were official shows, the cowboys
on the various ranches in a certain
section of the country would get to-
gether on Sunday to see who could ride
the hardest bucking bronco. The
ranch owners would give a purse to
the winners, which would enable them
to add a six-gun, a pair of chaps or
some other prize TO their outfit. At a
special event even saddle might be
presented the champion cowboy.
AS the years went on certain cow
! boys became SO famous that they fol-
/ lowed their love of the sport, going
| from place to place turnout the great
west contesting for prizes. When the
country became fairly we'll populated,
certain progressive western towns or
ganized official and annual Round
ups" which usually lasted from three
days to a week. And, from all over
the west the best cowboys and the

an average loading of thirty tons per
car; reduction of bad order cars to
a maximum of four per cent of total
owned; early and substantial re-
duction in the number Of locomotives
now unfit for service; more effective
efforts to bring about the return of
cars to the owner roads. While the
car performance proposed has never
before been attained, it is believed
that it can be acquired, and that the
whole remedial plan can be carried
out, if the full cooperation of the
public can be secured.
The interstate Commerce Commission
is in close touch with the railroad
plan, and Washington is rather OPP
timistic since it has found that there
is stern determination among rail-
road operators throughout the coun-

front them.
ADVANCED 500 PER CENT :
A current report of the Govern
ment Forest Service says that the
larger newspaper publishers of the
country have been able to keep down
the advance in cost of their newsprint
to about 200 per cent bcause of their
ability to contract in large volume.
But the market price, according to
the bulletin, has advanced 500 per
cent since 1915. 1t is at this price
that the small publisher is compelled
to buy his paper stock.
Primarily the reason for the adj
vance in paper is due 10 wood short
age. In earlier days the paper mills
were built in the lumber regions and
their pulp wood was a sort of by
product of the saw milling industry.
But in most of these regions the saw
mills have finished, and they have
packed up, burned out, or moved a
way for some other reason. But the
paper mill cannot play the part of
carpet Dagger" quite so easily, and
as a result the northeastern part of
the United States has become largely
dependent upon Canadian wood.
Spruce from Minnesota and Canada
for example, is being hauled from
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1920-07-29

700 to 1900 miles to Wisconsin paper
mills. In New York state. where
nearly fifty per cent of our newsprint
is produced, sixty per cent of the
pulp and paper mills have absolutely
no timber supplies of their own.
New Hampshire and Maine appear to
be the only eastern states that still
have raw materials for making pa
per. and there is a well-grounded sus-
picion in the paper trade that the day
of profiteering in spruce, hemlock,
balsam and poplar is pretty well un-
der way.
The big papers, in any event, are
certainly eating up the little ones,
and their funny sheets" magazine
sections and other irrelevant features
add to the tragedy of the proceed
ings.

the release of the carriers from
Federal control, not only were the
cars and locomotives as whole in
adequate and in an impaired state,
but also the distribution of the cars
as to ownership was in such con-
dition as to prevent the greatest
efficiency in their use. Imagine what
would have been the dilemma had the
government in carrying out some of
its war eccentricities, scrambled all
the farm machinery of the country
wherever they happened to find bind
ers, reapers, or other machinery.
That is practically what happened
to the railroads; and even today the
first impression anyone has who
reads the names of the owners on
the cars of a passing freight train
is that, 81 didn't realize that there
were so many different railroads in
the country" The constant labor
troubles have hindered to large
extent, the return of the equipment
to their original owners; but the new
wage award is expected to help set
tie wage conditions and assist in the
relocation of cars.
With the harvest season at hand
the only relief from the difficult con-
dition with reference to the car short
age rests in the more intensive use
of the existing equipment. The
railroad program, for which public
cooperation is sought, contemplates
the following: An average daily
minimum movement of freight cars
of not less than thirty miles a day;

THE NATIONAL CAPITOL
(By j. E. Jones)
THE CAR SHORTAGE

There is no Disgusting the fact
that the car shortage is occasionlng
serious interruptions to the normal
industrial output of the country.
The Association of Railway Execu-
tives have issued an appeal to the
public, in which they state that the
cars and locomotives at their COM
mand are inadequate to handle the
unusually large volume of business
offered, and they add that it will be
impossible to overcome Immediately
this deficiency, The Executives
state that conditions require the
most intensive use of the existing
facilities" To that end they have
outlined a plan for securing the
greatest possible efficiency in the
distribution and use of cars, and with
the support and cooperation of the
shippers they are in hopes to pre-
vent a REPETITION of the condition of
congestion which marked the opera
ton of the lines under Government
control. During that historic epoch
the theory was quite similar to that
used by Oliver Wendall Holmes in de-
scIibing his wonderful one-hoss
shay, "and had not private ownership
been restored to its managerial
rights we would doubtless have found
the lines soon reduced to the condi-
zion of the "shay, (which took on the
appearance of ga general flavor of
mild decay" But, in reality, upon
