Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1921-07-21
LITTLE WILLOW
ROUNDUP IS
BIG SUCCESS

the ID. b. Coates ranch last FRIDAY
was simply a hummer. Too much
can not be said of the people of thai
district when it comes to hospitality
and giving an entertainment such
as was enjoyed by the people who
were in attendance there last Fri
day The crowd began to gather early
in the forenoon and by twelve O'Clock
il is estimated that one thousand pee
pie were on the grounds, and yet
there was ample shade and acCommo-
dations for all. Every minute of the
time after the program started, there
was something doing. There were no
long tiresome speeches or dull mo-
ments. Immediately after the pro-
gram on the platform, the sports
began to take place and lasted until
late in the afternoon. The races and
Stug-of-war was followed by the best
Roundup exhibition the people OF
this community has witnessed for
years; and the riders of the buCking
broncos. steers and mules, were al!
products of the Willow district,
who's ability would compare with
any riders of the PendletOn Round
Up or any other Roundup. Perhaps
the success of this particular part
of the days program was due to the
efforts of Mr. Clyde Currin, who
rode the hills for more than a week
rounding up wild horses and steers
for the occasion
The swimming contest and swimming
exhibition on the water above the
diversion dam, was quite a feature
of the days amusements. Several of
n va aybihirinng in
swimming which proved themselves
equal 10 the young men.
The program started promptly at
1920. with America, sung by the
audience.
Calvin Keller gave the Address of
Welcome, in a short but specific talk.
The Baptist Choir of New Ply
mouth favored the audience with
several well rendered songs which
were highly appreciated, and put
life into the days program.
At the close of the speech by Mr..
Clarence VanDeusen on The Value
of Bookkeeping" Chairman Charley
Bolton sounded the dinner call, and
the groups that gathered with bask-
cts, boxes and buckets filled with
every conceivable good thing to eat
would indicate that we are not living
in land of famine.
Even before the big feed was end
ed. the New Plymouth choir was
again on the stand.
Clyde Currin was placed under ar
rest by Sheriff Jefferis and brought
to the platform where he was pre-
sented with the $500 cowboy hat
given by the Golden Rule Store of
Paydte, to the Association. The
presentation speech was made by
Judge Keller on behalf of the AS
sociation, for faithful services rem
dered in making the big Roundup
d success.
Miss Nora Cheney of New Ply
mouth favored the crowd with
reading that was certainly worth
while.
Attorney A. L. Freehafer then
took the platform and delivered a
very able address. which was follow
ed by the crowning speech of the
day when Judge j. H. Richards of
Boise spoke for about so minutes in
a very eloquent manner, closing the
afternoon program on the platform.
