Round-Up Gives Visitor Glimpse
of the West in "Real Action"
&
(By Merle K. Chessman.)
Some une many years ago spoke or
the '.'wild went" and ever since that
time the two words have attained
such an affinity that In the popular
mind they are rarely disassociated.
It has become axiomatic that the
west Is wild, and the tourist from the
east expects to find it so. If he
doesn't h returns home disappointed
and with a cherished conception or
tho Pacific Blope sadly shattered.
Time was, and not so long ago, that
the west, all of it, was wild enough
to suit the fancy of any tenderfoot.
The principal citizens were the In
dian, the cowboy, the miner and the
gambler, and singly or collectively
they managed pretty (well to keep the
taint of tameness from their habitat.
However, the processes of civiliza
tion amiot be denied. They have
largely claimed the great western
frontier as their own. The boundless
weep of range and plain has been
bisected and checkered with the fenc
es ol homestead and rarm. Cities
have sprung up like mushrooms in a
bog, have rapidly grown out of their
swaddling clothes and, connected so
closely with their eastern sisters by
rail and wire, have so developed that
there is not much to differentiate
them to the seeker after change. The
Indians, the newer generations ot
whom are beginning to assimilate
the Ideas and customs of their white
brothers, have been confined to res
ervations, the ranks of the cowboy
have been decimated and the bold,
adventurous type of miner, known to
the days of '49, has given way to the
unionized workman as common in the
east as In the west.
And so, unless he knows where to
look, the sightseer from the east finds
on bts western trip very little thai
somewhat of a king and where th
seeker for the wild wet will find
that which will Uelight his soul and
sture his mind with memories that
will make sweet the age of reminis
cence. These spots where the old west
still retains Its hold are few, stuttered
and not always easy to reach. Nor.
when reached, do they furnish on
demand all that the tourist might
wish to see, A continuous residence

the east, but the wild, rough romance
and glamor thai history and tradition i
have taught him lies west of the
Rockies, he cannot encounter by an
undirected tour ulonp the main ave
nue of traffic.
Hut, even, though the west Is no
longer the went of buffalo Hill, it is
not yet so reclaimed, reformed and
regenerated that It contains no 'trade
or vestige of Its glorified , past. It
still has Its uncurried spots. There
are communities where the vaccine of
civilizaton has not tasen or taken
but mildly, where the cowboy still Is
cannot hut commend itself. Certain
ly there Is no other Institution in the
world that can so completely and so
truly present an epitome of the west
ern frontier that all but belongs to
another day.
Heal Artlon (,f West
The Kound-L'p is not a wild west
show, though It is a show of the wild
west. It bears hardly any more rela
tion to the routine performance of
the traveling trnup of cowboys und
Indians than does the fearrul carnage
at Verdun to a bloodless battle of the
movies. This one U as real as the
other is artificial.
Pendleton, the home of the Hound
l'p. bus been the center of a greut
cow country since its Infancy. Though
much of the land that was once a
ervation, where live the descendants
of the knightly tribes of the north
west, the rmatillas, ('ay uses and Wal
la Wallas.
With the cow camp and the reser
vation at her back door. Pendleton
does not huve to Import the partici
pants for her great frontier festival,
does not have to rely upon profession
al performers to furnish entertain
ment for the thousands who gather
each year in her mammoth stadium.
Indeed, were It not so, those thou
sands would not be gathering there
each year.
The Hound-L'p is in reality the play
of the cowboy, cowgirl and Indian,
and yet it reflects, too, much of their
natural life. While in the bucking
contest buckaroo vies with buckaroo
in an effort to ride the meanest buck
er In the truest form for a handsome
purse and trophies, yet many a time
during the year, In a corral on a
lonely range and with only one or two
of his kind for an audience, does he
ride Just u bard and Just as spect
ularly. In the steer-roping contest
he strives to rope, throw an tie
bis steer in the shortest time possi
ble and he does the same thing month
In and month out in the course of his
duties.
F.arly West ln Review.
No phase of the early west Is
overlooked by the programers of the
Kound-Vp In their efforts to present,
in a limited space and within a short
time, a glimpse und more than a
glimpse of pioneer life with all of Its
dash and danger, Its excitements, haz
ards und typical recklessness.
The pony express, the fast mall ot
frontier days! the lumbering old
stage coach, forerunner of the passen
ger train, find a place in the rapid
sequence of thrilling spectacles; there
are races of all varieties, cowpony,
maverick. Indian pony, squaw, relay,
cowgirl and novelty races, and all are
typical of the western frontier. Col
or, a barbaric riot of It, Is added by
the Indians who, clad ln their sav
age, brilliant trappings, pass byin a
stately parade or dance the war and
love dances that are traditions of their
tribes.

It is no idle boast that the Round

have seen it will admit of having seen
anything to compare with it in the

spectacular.
The P.ound-1'p never has been and
never will be staged any place but in
l'endleton. Efforts nave been made
to imitate it, but sooner or later they
have ended in failure. Attempts have
been made to lure It away by prom

have only provoked smiles from those
who understand. The Round-Up can
not be transplanted. The horses, the
riders, the Indians, the very directors
themselves, might be taken to some
other place but the setting, the spirit.

In 1842 Elijah White, sub-agent m

Indians and held a council with
them for the purpose of allaying the
distrust which had begun to develop
and which eventually led to the Whit
man massacre. At mat time the fol
lowing "Laws ot the Nei Percos" was
drawn up and agreed to:
