toward the show-grounds which are
located on the other side of the
Round Up. Massive motor tractors
pulled trains Of eight and ten cages
through the principal thoroughfares
which for time resembled a mniture
railroad line. Big spools or reels car
ried all the canvas and following these
wagons came the gasoline stake driy
ers and the rest of the circus equip
ment in routine order. In order to
facilitate the speedy erection of the
tents, the IL big elephants were called
into play and these pounderous ami
mails, emeshed in steel cable and heavy
leather harness pulled. tugged and
lugged at the ends Of heavy ropes
which caused the canvas to rise in
the air" and in the short space of a
couple OF hours, acres upon acres of
tents covered a vertible city in itself.
1t was learned that 916 people were

The big Sells Floto Circus is here

rather downcast this morning when he
found that the big show had not yet
arrived and great many wild stories
were in circulation about O'clock this
morning that the first section of the
circus trains had gone In the ditch. >
1t appears that the tremendous length
OF the circus cars caused the trains
to travel at a slow schedule and the
little chaps who climbed out of bed
at a. m. to watch the unloading
were due for long wait. However,
there were great many grown-ups
who welcomed the late arrival for they
are as much interested in watching the
unloading and erection OF the big cir
Gus tents an the junior Pendletonians
and since the big show arrived, every
one Is satisfied.
Immediately after the first section
OF the circus trains pulled into Pendle-

started to move up the main streets
