THE ROUND-UP 



thirty thousand people eagerly await the things which 

 one reads and dreams about — the West stalking in the 

 flesh. 



You will undoubtedly meet up with old friends but 

 you are sure to see many people of note. There is 

 Proctor the sculptor's family, in the third box from 

 the center, and Anne Shannon Monroe, the authoress, 

 is with them. Proctor, himself, is in the arena, — there

 box with Dave Horn is another old six-line skinner, 

 C. W. Barger, from 'Frisco, who has driven for Wells

 La Grande through Pendleton to Umatilla, but has 

 driven all over the Western country, through Eastern 

 Oregon, Montana and from British Columbia to Ari- 

 zona, winding up in the Yosemite sixteen years ago. 



The man in the dark, slouch hat with his arms on 

 the rail, is Governor Olcott of Oregon, he is so in-

 this great pageant none have expressed their enthusi- 

 asm in a more concrete way than that man you see 

 with a group of friends in the center box — that's Louis 

 W. Hill of St. Paul. As long as he could not freight

 ern Pacific Lines, he invited the Round-Up Committee 

 and nearly a half hundred other leading Pendletonians 

 as guests of honor and to let-'er-buck at the great St. 

 Paul mid-winter ice carnival. 



So next February with their wives, — those who had

 in cowboy regalia. No visitors ever received a more 

 royal welcome or were encouraged to take greater
