Walla Walla, Wash.. August It.
On the morn lag of September Uth
Frontier Days opens with a bang;
then cornea three day of the wildest
excitement known to' modern times.
Three days, during which thousands
of spectators gaze Into an arena where
men and women of phenomenal cour
age and skill, contest with the wild
cattle and horses gleaned from the
western range.
During Frontier day civilisation la
forgotten; the wtreleea telegraph and
the x-ray become a thing of the past,
and the muxsle loading rifle takes
their place. .. Here's the pioneer the
leader of the day, and ha Is cheered
by thousands aa he passes in tha big
parade. Here's the old Indian, wi'O
fought witr nerve of steel to check the
hardy pioneer as he pushed westward.
"Klahiam Six, today you're the heap
big tyea." Here'a the wiry cowboy
with bis rattlesnake list band, and his
high heeled boot. "Stay with 'em.
Bill," "Let 'em Kick.' Here's ths
long horned steer from the hill coun
try, and the wild cay uses from tha
western ranges. Hers' the dingy
buffalo from tha plains and tha grace
ful -elk from the mountain slopes. All
these ara put together and squeezed
Into three of the liveliest, scrappiest,
wildest days that human genius ever
ventured to conceive. " "
There are f 9 event for each day.
and each event Is a show in Itself.
You can aee a race where 6 wild
horses are turned loos among S0 rid
era. Each man catches bis horse, sad
dles It and then rides It fste only
knows where; It might a through a
dozen fences. ' Nevertheless, he rides
it and a wilder mix-up cannot be im
agined. All kinds of riding and roping
and there are races or
every description, with famous riders
from every part of the United Stoles.
Frontier daya Is not only a great
show, but a great opportunity. From
the first crack of the pistol on the
morning of the sixteenth to the last
dying blaze of the pioneer's fir on the
night of the eighteenth: the old Wast,
of which everyone has. heard so much,
fills everything with Ms" presence snd
carries the spectator' away In such a
whirl of wonder and excitement that
he Is forced to carry It In bis mem
ory aa tha big event of his life.
