lilt? 1UU UUi UtU, inug tfiou
Bteers are driven into the arena there
is a scramble for the high seats in
the" grand stand and for once the pad
dock Is not crowded. The man who
knows all about conducting a Round
TJp and riding bucking horses and
Judging relay races for once deserts
his self-appointed post and takes to
the tall timber. He Is perfectly will
ing that some one else shall manage
this steer branding contest. For once
there is something which he admits
he doesn't know anything about (at
close range) but from the .topmost
seat In the bleachers behind the, high
timbers of the corral he will tell you
all about how It should be done.
Did you ever see a good, Bleek, long
horned steer go on the war path, and
shouting his war cry charge his own
shadow? If you never have It Is some
thing worth seeing. It is something
that will be seen at the Round Up at
Pendleton September 28 to Oct. 1.
: The steer branding contest Is one
of the most exciting features of the
frontier celebration. Take two good
men on two good cow ponies and a
steer that Is Just mad enough to know
that he Isn't going to submit to any

such foolishness and you have a show
at the outset that Is worth going many
miles to see. when you know at the.
outset that there Is going to be no
one hurt, and that It Is merely a con
test between the ability of the men
and the smartness of the cow ponies
on -the one side and the wild steer on
the other. Two men to each Bteer. The
steer is given thirty feet start, pro
vided he wants It. As a general thing
he gives the riders about that much
start and then trys to catch them. But
according to Hoyle the steer is given
30 feet to the good. The first rider
throws his rope and. gets,the steer by
the horns, the eeeijnd man throws' his
rope and gets the hind feet. One man
dismounts, gets the steer by the train
and throws him. That Is sometimes
According to Hoyle he should throw
the steer and "hog tie" him. but If
the steer Beriously objects to this
proceedure and, doesn't intend to be
"hog tied" like that, and there is a
slip on the rope, as a general thing,
the man who has dismounted decides
that - he will get back oh his cow
pony again, and the' rapidity with
which he does this beats any moving
picture mount ever thrown on the
screen. The contestants are supposed
