Several Top Notch Features
Omitted Last Night Will
be Added to Program Tonight
TWO WELL KNOWN SINGERS
TO APPEAR ON PROGRAM
Harriet Leach and Horace En
sign WHI : Sing; Quadrille
an -Additional Attraction.
. Tonight when the program for the
second night of Happy Canyon will be
offered, several top-notch feature
which tha rain made it Impossible to
present last night will be (riven. (Miss
Harriet Jeach will King, and Horace
Ix Ensign, who waa billed to appear
last night and did not arrive la here
and will alng tonight The quadrille,
which is a feature that is uaually
warmly received, also had to be dis
pensed with laat -night on account of
tha mean conduct of (ho weather man.
Notwithstanding old Jupe riuvius
did his best, to put a dampener on the
activities of the first night of the
Happy Canyon ahow lant night by in
troducing quantities of druuttlng rain,
the enthusiasm of actors and specta
tors alike was of sufficient Intensity
to get through such an insignificant
handicap with nothing more serious
than wet costumes and worry about
what the morrowVweimter -might be.
The coming of the rain did result In
some of tha top-notch numbers on the
program being left out, and It made
the reception of tha Indians In their
abbreviated costumes rather a cool
affair, not from tha point of view of
the way the audience welcomed them,
of course, but thoy were cool Just the
same.
Color Kverywhrre.
The atmosphere of the old frontier
was evident In practically every act
that was staged, and the firing of
many pistols and cries of "Let 'er
Duck," punctuated the formal parts
of the program.
The evenlng'a offering was Intro
duced by the appeurance of a caval
cade of cowboys and cowgirls who
dashed Into the arena. E. P. Tulloch
and Bam Thompson were In command
of the party, which Included, besides
soma of the best riders of the West,
the queen of the Round-Up and her
four maids. Then Chief Tall Tine
made his speech of welcome to the au
dience, his eloquent addros being in
terpreted by Bert Jererd.
Wllklns Williams and Duff Jones In
their fancy roping stunts held the au
dlonco's Interest until the Indians ar
rived In forco and put on some of
their dances. At about this time, a
miner with a pack outfit came down
the mountain which Inoms In the
background of the scene. He mado a
temporary camp and built a fire to
cook hia repast before he resumed his
way on down Into tho town.
WIipoIit Takes Spill.
The appearance of the old stage
was the signal for an ovation from
tho crowd, but the outfit got lnto,.dtf
flcully before its act was finished. It
happened when the near wheel horse
became a little Impatient and stuck
his foot over -the single-tree of the
leader In front of him. On tho next
turn, the wheeler was spilled, and
while Jinks Taylor, driver of the
four-horse outfit, sat and grinned
sheepishly on his seat, the attendants
isnd loafers In' front of the Stagger
Inn untangled the spirited horses and
cnt the stage put on lis next Journey.
I Q. Harran had a little difficulty
In staying on the spotted pony which
had Just beon shod, by the village
blacksmith. While the pony was
winning his. victory, an Indian scout
appeared on the. mountain side and
picked a camp nlt, which was soon
occupied by the tribe. The bucks

KITTY CANUTT AND LORENA TRICKEY
ASSIST SPECIAL POLICE IN PULLING
"Do cowgirls have a sense of humor,
and can they take a joke on them
selves?" This is how Kitty Canutt and Lo
rena Trickey helped carry out a joke
in which it seemed that they were
doomed to rest behind the bars of the
city jail. It was one of those little
sidelines of the Round-l'p which are
never on the program hut which are
always bobbing up to add spice to life
during the th rd week in September.
Yesterday afternoon, some special
officers on the city's force of police
were down at the Round-Up stables,
and when they returned uptown, Kitty
Canutt and I.orena Trickey, famous a
riders In the big show, accompanied
them. That was agreeable, but when
the city hall was reached, one of the
cops told Kitty that she and her pal
were "pinched," and that thev would
have to come on Into the office. A
suggestion that they call friends and
arrange for bail was also put forward
by the officers.
Kitty and Lorena fell into line
quickly. It wasn't two minutes until
the stat'on was crowded with men who
had heard that the famous riders wore
pimhed. . , ,

Bast Oregonian could find out as to his
identity was that his first name was
Joe and that he had a car and told
him of her plight.
"Joe. the cops have me and Lorena

over the telephone. "They claim we

It developed that Joe didn't have
