LEXINGTON
By BEL'LAH B. NICHOLS
1P34 will long be remembered as
the year of the big free show to be
given by the grange at Lexington
on the evening of August 11th.
The men of the grange have full
charge of the show and 'nave en
gaged a colored troupe of singers
and musicians, also a hypnotist of
note who promises to put five men,
picked from the audience, under his
magic power at one time. Another
big feature is the beauty contest
(for men only). A valuable prize
will be given for the ugliest mug
stuck through a hole in the curtain
on the stage. The public is invited.
Maynard Hardy and party of
friends from Mitchell. S. D., were
guests of Mrs. Elsie M. Beach last
week. Mr. Hardy is a cousin of
Mrs. Beach. Mr. Hardy says that
although they planted their crops
twice this year everything just
burned up and they had no crops
in that state. Many of the farmers
have no feed for their stock al
though some of the more fortunate
had hay left from their 1932 and
1933 crops and by selling part of
their stock they will have enough
feed to last Some of those that
were hardest hit are just quitting
and leaving the state, hoping to do
better elsewhere. From here Mr.
Hardy and his friends went to the
coast and on to Seattle from where
they expected to take the northern
route back to South Dakota.

"There is every assurance that
the emergency education program
will be continued this year. It is
especially desirable that classes for
adult education be arranged' and
that persons over 16 years of age be
encouraged to use the opportunity
to continue their education. Classes
in economics, political science and
the cultural arts are recommended.
Our people should begin plans for
these classes so that no time will
be lost when the funds are made
available."
The county superintendents them

Dr. Wilson D. McXary, president of the 1934 l'endleton Round-Up, (left) and i. Roy Haley,
president of the first Itotind-Up held In 1010, ar e telling young Jack Swcek why the traditions of
the Round-Up must he cherished. In the background, scene from the first Round-Up. The Silver
Jubilee Itnuntl-Up dates are September 13, 14 and 15.
The Round-Up, Pendleton's his
toric show that keeps the glamor
of the old, wild .West alive, will
celebrate its twenty-fifth (Silver
Jubilee) anniversary September
13, 14, and 15.
An honorary order of "Pendle
ton Top Hands" Is now being or
ganized in Pendleton, with Its
members pledged to perpetuate
the Pendleton Round-Up through
succeeding generations.
The brilliant pageantry of
range sports that made the shout
of "Let 'er Buck!" known around
the world in the, Round-Up'a quar
ter of a century of history will
thrill the throngs at Pendlteon
again this year. Having weather
ed the past three trying years with
colors flying and the dauntless
spirit of Til Taylor still In the
saddle, the Pendleton Round-Up
emergeB this year with a greater
show than ever.
A new thrilling event, the
"wild ride," will be added to this
year's three day show with 12
vicious bucking horses mounted
and bucking in the arena simul
taneously, all released from the
snubbing horses at the same In
stant Perhaps the greatest parade
ever held at Pendleton will be
seen this year, for George Strand,
director of parades, is collecting
additional historic buckboards,
stage coaches, freight wagons,
pack train equipment and other
priceless relics of early day trans
portation. The usual colorful In
dian features of the parade will
be maintained.
The "Westward Ho" parade will
be held Friday, September 14, In
stead of Saturday as has been the
custom at previous Round-Ups.
To those who have attended the
Round-Up for years, this Is of
special importance, for real dyed-in-the-wool
Round - Up visitors
never wants to miss the spectacle
of the great "Westward Ho" pa
rade. In 1910 when Pendleton citi
zens felt that the modern West
was arriving and the old, wild
West was disappearing, the first
Round-Up was held. The Incorpor
ators were Max Baer, (no relation
to the present heavyweight cham
pion), Will Ingram, Leon Cohen,
J. H. Gwinn and J. H. McAllister.
The first president was J. Roy
Raley and the first treasurer was
Roy W. Rltner, this year's busi
ness manager of the Round-Up.
Fred W. Stelwer, now in the Unit
ed States Senate, was on the first
Round-Up board, with Til Taylor,
last of the truly great sheriffs of
the old West, Roy Bishop of the
Pendleton Woolen Mills, and L.
G. Frazler, who Is now serving
bis 25th year on the Round-Up
board. This year's president of
the Round-Up is Dr. Wilson D.
McNary, who served also in 1933.
The past presidents were Henry
W. Collins, Tillman D. Taylor
and J. Roy Raley,
The first year's Round-Up sur
prised Pendleton with a gather
ing of 10,000 visitors which taxed
the housing facilities of the city
until every private home was
filled. The budget for the first
year's Pendleton Round-Up was
only $2,680, whereas budgets of
succeeding years were between
$20,000 and $80,000, as the show
grew In size and world-wide re
known. The first "Happy Canyon"
night pageant was held In 1911
and, depicting the conquest of the
West, has proven, year after year,
a worthy companion to the thrill
ing arena events of the day. This
year, as in previous years, some
of the world's greatest cowboys
bucking horse riders, bull-doggers,
ropers and relay riders will
be competing for generous cash
prizes and coveted championship
trophies. Pendleton's famous
string of bucking horses is being
supplemented with new ones that
are expected to gain fame equal
to that of Roosevelt Trophy, Long
Tom, Philip RollinB, No Name
and other almost unconquerable
buckers whose performances have
helped establish the Pendleton
Round-Up as the "greatest of
them all."
Livestock Director Herbert
Thompson has found some new
bucking horses and is still picking
them up wherever a truly sensa
tional bucking horse can be discovered.
