Let us rise triumphant from the grave-clothes

And step forth into the sunshine of a rejoicing

Newborn into hope and belief in our powers and

There can be no retreating; adj
vancement is the present day slogan.
1t is proper, however, that the past
shall not be forgotten, and how better
is it to keep alive the traditions and
memories than in the reproduction
of the reproducible events which por-
tray the customs and habits of the
early day inhabitant by using the
same vehicles of action which he used
in the ordinary and every day hum

Where once the hills we're topped
by sheep and cattle and where once
the plains echoed with the song and
yell of the cowboy as he watched over
them, there is now no longer any re-
semblance of those days left, except
in miniature where here and there
some old-timer whose life is still inn
mersed in the romantic glories of the
past persists in keeping as many had
of cattle as he can Craze on limited
pastures, and who still swears Nigh
lily that the country is gone to the
dogs because the homesteader and
farmer with his fences and concen-
trated work is making an effort to
exc out living, as he styles it, out
of his acres which were never intend
ed to be other than for pasture and
grazing.
But the old-time ranchman with
his ranch building and his foreman,
his cowboys, picturesque characters
who could fork a bronc, sometimes
with success and sometimes tasting
the bitterness of defeat only to try
again, was as fleet as the wind; these
have gone the way of all things where

and forces which played their part
in the early development and history
of the things to be commemorated.
Base Reliefs on the sides of great
public buildings, triumphal arches
thrown across the most popular ar
teries of travel in the most densely
populated cities of the earth; tall
monoliths pierce the very skies as a
reminder so long as earth shall last,
of prominent figures whose influence
and work have contributed to the
comfort and success of struggling
humanity; great bridges span the
mighty rivers that flow relentlessly
down to the sea as a memorial to
some pOrtentious event of days gone
by and mausoleums and other struc-
lures of marvellous beauty and de-
sign are erected by the hand of man
to keep alive the tender remem-
brances of personalities.
But these are all silent and inact-
i've statues and structures which
thrill the beholder only as the mag
ination is given play and allowed to
browse into and ponder over the his
torical events to which they bear a
mute testimony. These monuments
serve their purpose as no other crea-
tions of man are originated. They
teach the lessons of history and point
to the bravery and patriotic impulses
which surged through the times they
represent. In them are preserved the
lessons of the past as instruction to
and admonition for the present gem
GRAFTON and for posterity. They are
Il IL 4
as man-made structures may be.
Parallel to and in keeping with
the same spirit is the custom to erect
living monuments in active pag-
eantry at stated intervals from year
ly to periods of time encompassing
centuries. AS civilization winged her
westward course and pioneers strug-
gled with the hardships naturally
arising in connection with the con-
quering of new country the ten
dency has arisen to commemorate al
so these deeds in living reproductions
of the dramas of the past to the de-
light and edification of those who are
living and to and in whom the cere-
monies revive the ancient fires of
ambition, or afford for few brief
days a repetition of the strenuous
days in delightful mimicry.
When the onward march of the
star of empire reached the plains,
hills and bad-lands of the great
northwest there were met these con-
ditions that tried the very fibre of
mems souls. Indians and buffalo
roamed at large and at will. Both
were lords and masters in their re-
spective realms. The Indian Toasted |

numbers that the pioneer and the

came after might enjoy the fruits OF
peace.
1t was in the conquering of new
country in the northwest that the
metal and steel of the early settler
was tried as if in the crucible OF a
mighty struggle.
When the struggle was over,
thanks to the aid given by the mill
tary arm of the government, the sue
culent grass of the northern plains
attracted the attention of the rangers
of the southwest, and up from that
region over the historic Texas trail
there came those vast herds of long
horned steers to be conditioned Tor
the market, and with them came that
race of bow-legged men, known as
cowboys Ranches were instituted
embracing thousands of acres OF land
over which the cattle grazed and each
year saw the repetition of the COM
ing of more longhorns from out OF
the southwest.

| ing exhibition in mimicry, besides
many other efforts which once in the
earlier days of the open range made
up much of the daily life of the cow
boy. Besides this, the appearance OF
an old stage coach, a vehicle once
the classic carriage of the plains for
long distance covering, casts a halo
of romantic glory over those efforts
of the pioneer and the ranchman,
when chivalry, oftentimes rather
Don Quixotic, spread its mantle of
rivalry over the northwest when the
weapons, bare fists and even with life
itself.
These are the days and their
events that are commemorated in the
living pageantry of the present day
in Roundups and Stampedes. Much
of that which happened must be told
in story for it cannot be enacted, but
there are always present, yet in these
days, many of the men whose feats
are recited to the interested visitor,
and to the tenderfoot whocame to
the northwest within the past two or
three decades of time is related many
of these stirring tales. He passes
them on by word of mouth, as a con-
sequence of which, by much repeat
ing there has been added to the cur
rent literature of the present day
many idealistic recitals which have
their foundation in the days of the
past.
For eleven years, the Miles City
Roundup, which is now incorporated
under the name of the Miles City
Roundup and Historical Association,
has reproduced for the edification of
the people and to the delight of the
visitor within her gates, the noble
events of the past. The twelfth annual
event will be staged again on July 2,
8 and A, on the eastern edge of the
old Fort Keogh reservation, whose
history is closely linked with the
early day struggles with the savage
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1924-06-20

civilization has come in with its con
centration of effort and built cities
and erected fences.
Much of the colloquialism of the
Lone Star state came along with the
herds which were driven over the
trail into the northwest. Their quaint
ennunciations are wholly unintelli-
gible to the average stranger. There
IS something romantic in the listening
to the conversation of the old-time
ranch foreman, or the cowboy, which
lends a certain enchantment to those
vigorous days of the past, that their
revival in living pageantry is prov
ing to be one of the most attractive
features of western holidays that can
be originated, when fasteners and
travellers from foreign countries
come to visit awhile at the annual
festivities which are kept alive in the
Roundups, Stampedes and Rodeos.
In these events which are staged
for instance, in Miles City,
Montana, there is reproduced the in
cidents that have have to do with the
tanning of a bronc, both with a sad
die and bareback; the bulldogging of
a steer, which is trick attended with
dangers, for when riding at fast speed
ON sur mount, reaching the side
of the speeding steer, the rider dis
mounts with his hands grasping the
horns at their base and touching his
feet to the ground makes every eff
fort to throw the animal by twisting
its head and forcing it off its four
feet, and firmly gripped raising one
hand as a signal that the trick has
been turned; the lassoing of wild
horse in the corral, blindfolding it
and putting on saddle and with only
4 halter, challenging it to dethrone
he rider which frequently happens;
relay racing; the carrying of the
nail; a cowboy milking contest, a
thing derisively considered by the
cowboy; the riding of a
steer; roping of calves and brand
