PENDLETON. Or., Sept. 18. .Spe
cial.) Pendleton Is ready to enter
tain thousands or visitors this week at
the eleventh annual Round-up, which
opens Thursday and closes Saturday.
For -weeks citizens nave dropped other
business to prepare for the big show.
Streets and business houses have been
decked with festoons of multicolored
flags, accommodation headquarters
have been opened where hundreds of
pare rooms have been listed and a.
portion of the sombrero-wearing pop
ulation has retired each afternoon to
the Round-up grounds to witness the
bucklni? horse tryouts and other pre
liminary contests.
The stage Is set for the eleventh
exhibition and local citizens have
every reason to believe it will be the
bigKest and most successful perform
ance ever staged. In the city.
"I am miKhty well pleased with the
way the Round-up has shaped up,"
salt H. W. Collins, successor of Til
Taylor as president of the Round-up
association, yesterday. "Advance seat
sales this year were far greater than
ever before. Old performers are com
ing back p.nd we have, a lot of new
material assured."
Demand for Sent Heavy.
TMrst day's seat sales, counting all
mail orders, totaled J11.000 and the
reserved seats alloted for local sale
were practically all taken on the
opening cfay of the sale. The total
seating capacity of the mammoth
grandstand and bleachers Is held at
an, 000, although last year It was esti
mated that 50,000 people saw each
day's show.
& R. Thompson, director of live
stock, says there will be from S00 to
1000 head of horses In the show this
year. For the bucking contests 75
shaggy-haired, outlaw horses, fresh
from the range, have been corraled at
the Round-up grounds. Besides there
will be several of the prize buckers
left over from last year's show, which
will send would-be riders skyward
again this year. Among the latter is
.No Name," a trigger-heeled veteran
known to have been ridden by only
one man, Yakima Canutt. who won
the world's championship last year
by riding the volcanic king of buck
ers. Sixty long-horned Mexican steers
have been brought from the- land of
revolution for the steer-roping and
bull-dogging events, and 65 -wild
horses have been rounded up for the
wild horse race.
Many Frfaew Inrreaned.
Increased prize money Is announced
for all eventB this year. Ten thousand
dollars in cash prizes constitutes the
total. Of this $6,650 Is in cash di
vided Into different purses for various
events. Besides this there will be the
two hand-made saddles manufac
tured every year by Hamley & Co., of
this city for the champion In the
Ibucklng-horse and steer-roping
events. Local merchants also are of
fering prizes in the form of merchan
dise which will total more than J1000
In value. The diamond studded belt
offered annually by the Police Ga
zette to the world champion cow
boy will also be offered again this
year, according to Charles J. Fox.
donor.
Two hundred contestants from all
' parts of the United states and Can-
ada have signified their Intention to
' participate in this year's show. Ex
.V pert horsemen and women from as far
south as Mexico and north to Canada
. have written the Round-up associa
tion that they would be here this year.
- , Among the old-time performers who
Will be seen In the arena again are:
Yakima Canutt, winner of last year's
championship; Buffalo Vernon, John
Spain, Ray MacCarroll, who promises
a new record In bull-dogging; Hippy
lUirmlster and others who will not
be known until the final entry list 1b
announced on the night before the
performance is started.
Hound-up Draws Indiana.
Indians for miles around will make
their annual pilgrimage to Pendleton
this year, according to Chauncey Bish
op, who is Becurlng them as a part of
the big western drama. The Indians
yearly pitch their tepees and make
their camp In the rear of the Round
up grounds and their war dances and
other performances are a feature of
the show. The venerable members of
the various tribes always bedeck
themselves in their precious regalia.
zamous old war bonnets and orna-j
mented capes.
The aim of the Round-up associa
tion In staging the big show la not
to put on a professional performance
put to present a true representation
of the old-time west. This fact was
made eviden' this year when the di
rectors decided that all riders should
be required to use standard saddles,
. which will be furnished by the Round-
up association. It had been found that
some riders were using specially con
structed saddles which aided them in
s sticking to their mounts. Hence
forth all will have an even break, as
' far as saddles are concerned.
"V Programme Large One.
' Twenty-four events will be staged
each day. the programme being run In
the same order all three days, with
the exception of the wild horse race,
which, will be the last number on

run off Saturday between the semi
finals and finals of the bucking con
test.
Six of the events will be non-com
petuive, sucn as tne jnaian war
dances and grand parades, but it Is
expected that the other 18 events will
furnish enough excitement for the
most ardent of Round-Up fans.
