This year, however, broke all records for eagerness to se cure first choice of the grandstand seats. The line began forming a full 24 hours before the opening of the sale, and all day and all night "watch ful waiters" kept their stations. J. J. Hamley, F. J. McMonies and lester Hamley, all of Hamley & Co., makers of the Hound-Up prize saa dles. copped the prized places in the line this year. At H o'clock on the last day of August they hired three small hoys and stationed them in chairs on Alta street before the closed ticket office. The sight of this pre jaredness led others to follow suit and by afternoon there were two dozen boys and men squatting In line In the hot sun. Chairs gave way to cots at night fall and there were 35 sleepers in the or en. The early morning hours brought scores of early risers who lengthened the line. The first day's sale th'.B year broke all, records. During the first three hours an average of $1000 an hour l oured through the window of the ticket office and by 6 o'clock the re ceipt had grown to $8000. During i the first three hours, Tom Poylen. 'veteran ticket seller, was not required ; to make a cent of change. Every i buyer knew just what he wanted and j had a check or the right change ; leady. In order that the thousands of out ' of-town visitors might be protected, j the Round-t'p directors only open i certain sections of the grandstand to ! home people, The others are re served for mail orders and for the crowd that docs not arrive until the nays nf the show. No one person is permitted to purchase more than one box of 1 2 grandstand seats for each t'ay. In this way does the board fore stall scalpers. A new record for an Individual sale of tickets was made this year when Benjamin K. Boone, a Portland auto dealer and an enthusiastic Round-Up fan. sent a check for $102 for 34 feats for himself and party for the three days. There have been many larger orders for special excursion parties but none so large for an indi vidual who formed his own partw. riMlllinillHIIininillMIIMIiniMIIHIIIIIIIIUHIIIIIIHIIIHHIIIIIIMHIIIHIIMIIIIIIIIMMMMMnilllMIIIIIJnMIMinMIIMMIIIMMIIinHJ WHEN you think of "Pep" think of the Round-Up, Pendleton and Kip; IMffW I ipo Dividends Ever Paid 5(8 1 . oy Round-up Association T HE DRINK that has come to the rescue and is the talk of every town.

There is no set stage effect, all the events are competitive and the thrill ing climnxes are impromptu. The Round-Up was first produced in 1910 and in 1912 65.000 people passed through the gates and since that date the attendance has steadily increased until today it Is witnessed by the largest aud ence attending anv single event in the western part of the continent.
