The entire city which has impas sively watched a few energetic men struggling with the early plans for the Round-Up suddenly awoke today anl the entire population is now be hind the July event and will co-operate in making it the biggest affair South ern Oregon has ever known. Tonight the streets were livelier than for months and strangers greeted strang ers with a ‘‘Let ‘er buck.” The show will be staged on July 3. 4 and 5 at the Round-Up grounds here, the association already owning sev eral thousand dollars’ worth of prop erty there. In conjunction with the Round-Up plans are going forward for several other celebration features which will be staged under the direc tion of a committee from the Commer cial club. Several hundred dollars have already been subscribed for these features. Tentative plans Include several big parades, five hands, fireworks, pos sibly aeroplane flights and numerous minor features.
