You'd, be too, If you'd been there. The Round-up waa a good ahow. II you didn't ee It, you mined something. M AND don't forget this: It'a a Southern Oregon ahow put on b the home folke here In Southern Oregon, and attended chiefly By Southern Oregon people. ' We need to atlck by our own, and brag about our own, down here In the orphan countlee. a. wild HORSE catapaulte out ol A. a chute, topped by an able rider who alts him nobly. But the odda are In favor of the horae, and the rider goea flying, heela over heart. The horae crashea through a fence made of two-Inch boards, goea through another one only a little leaa strong, cleam a wire fence, and heads for the desert and freedom. If horses cBn feel exaltation, there must have been exaltation Jn the heart of that wild horse aa he headed hsck for the desert hills. M ' iAn.pprwTFRS start repairing the V hole In the arena fence the boards being dragged up, In proper rodeo atvle. at the end of a lariat Tone. , They no more than have the top board In nlaca when another wild horse, after disposing of ita rider, crashes the new board, splinters it, and streaks It for the hills. They're wild, all right, these horses Make no mistake as to that. THE calf roping Is a bit slow, for the rules forbid "busting" the calf. "Busting," a probably you know, consists in roping the calf by the neck and then sitting back on the rope. When the calf comes to the end of It, he turns a few somer saults and lands with a dull thud Under the rules, the riders had to stop the calf more or less gently, then get off and put on a wrestling match with him,' taking jthe chance that the calf might be the better estler. Thla cramped their atyle, ana slowed them down a bit. On the other hand, the calves probably ap proved the rule. ITS a great ahow, and all Soutn- 1 era Oregon la proud of It. May It flourish and grow, getting bigger and bigger every year, and drawing more and more people. A COLORFUL crowd surges through J the streets of Lakevlew. An Easterner would see more high-heeled boots In a minute than he ever saw before In his life. But he wouldn't see many hair panta. These waddlea who put on the Lakevlew Round-up are real cowmen and they take off their chapa when they're through with them, Instead of parading them through the streets. HARRT GLAZIER runs a harness and saddle shop in Lakevlew a real one; not Just for exhibition pur poses and to sell souvenirs. So -far aa Is known. It is the biggest ex elusive harness and saddle shop In Oregon. Asked as to the state of business. he answers: "Good, and going to get better. Smart ranchers are discard Ing their trsctors, which run on gas and oil that ARE NOT produced on the farm, and are going back to horses, which consume hay end grain thst ARE. 'The time Is not far distent when tractor farming will be a thing of the past." THE automobile has run the horse off the road and for a while' the tractor came mighty close to running the horse out of the fields. The horae may stay off the roads, but he la coming back Into the fields. If you doubt that, get out Into the big farming country. You'll see more teama now In a day than you would have aeen a few yeara ago In a week. (Continued on Page Ten) STOCKHOLM. Sept. 8. (AP) Col onel and Mrs. Charles A.
