Scores Step in Streets
to Get Round-Up Tickets
For four or five years past men
have slept in the streets of Pendle
ton before the Hound -Up portable
ticket office In order to hold front
places In the line when the ticket
sale opened. 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.

The Buckaroo
BT RICHARD CARTER WAItlNNKR
Dedlcuu-d to John F. Fobliwon while riwHA-nl of
"l nclc Dirk" Warinncr.
Tighten th cinch and tak off the blind
Let 'er back in front, let r buck behind.
We'll both bo up and come down together.
But I hope to die if I'll "pull leather."
Oh, 1 live the life of a buckaroo.
And I love the scream of the wild curlew.
And the coyote's howl is music to me.
As I gaze on the stars In the milky way.
Awaiting the dawn of another day.
As I lie alone, alone, did I say?
No! my broncho's with me, my cayuse pet.
And he's tethered to me with a lariat.
Our Tec:dy was once a buckaroo.
And he could handle a lasso, too;
He loved the scent of the wild sage-brush;
He loYd the silence he loved the hush.
Of the boundless range. here the cattl roam,
His pony his pal, his saddle his home.
He gathered an Inspiration there.
' Which led to the presidential chair
I never expect such great renown.
But I may be marshal of some cow town.
Or sheriff, or Judge, or something like that.
And cheke some guy with my lariat.
My chaps are worn, and my hair is long.
And I'm humming all day some dear old song.
Some dear old song which my mother sung.
Befor I learned all this cow-boy slang.
i
Before I knew of the wild, wild wst.
And I m thinking of her whom I loved best;
And I'm wondering should I go home again
If she'd welcome a cow-boy of the plaia?
But I must tighten my latigo
For I'm off with the morning's first fit
Over the sage-brush plains I ride,
like a buccaneer on a riainsr tide.
With new sombrero and silver spurs
I'll search the herd for stray "slick-ears."
For I'm off to the Round-Up, sure, this FsJI
Uf broncho and I. Say. I've sot the gall.
To ride with any old buckaroo.
And to show 'em a trick with a lasso, too,
I'm not much good at that "bulldog's" stnat.
Bat I'll show 'em a pace at a maverick hunt.
Ifongst them beautiful Ranter n Oregon girls;
I'll show 'em a trick! how my lasso twirls
Straight out from the heart of a cow-boy true.
They'll go some. If they beat this buckaroo.
Thes tighten the cinch, take off the blind,

For neither or us '11 show the "white feather,"
Hut I hope to die if I pull leather.
