(By RENN DRUM.) Much glamour Is attached about Buffalo Bill (William Cody in modern America, and the spohisti rated would have our young believe that Buffalo Bill was little more than a name out of the fictitious Wild West books, and a showman of parts. Out In the country where Buf falo Bill earned his monicker, the tourist learns a different story. He sees where Buffalo Bill lived, where he operated his famous hunting lodge, and he sees, too. the deso late. wild hilts and valleys over which the great hunter followed his game, buffaloes and otherwise. Just after leaving Yellowstone park by the eastern entrance the auto tourist heading back home, if he lives in the East, strikes the trail for Cody, the town named m honor of the great Western hunter Before reaching Cody the auto, while still in the highlands of th» Roddes. passes Pashaka Lodge seemingly just a resort for those who like will life and hunting that is hunting. But questioning will re veal that Pashaka lodge—back in the days when old Buffalo Bill brought there the many friends he made among the celebreties of the. world. There, they tell you. is the best hunting grounds in America to day. Before reaching uoay me tourist passes through a low chain of mountains upon the ledges of which nature has carved some very gro tesque statues. There Is one of Henry Ford driving one of his, cars, and the outline of the rock actual ly resembles the Detroit flivver maker and his car. Another Is the outline of four old men on a sleigh, and so on. The Shoshone Dam. The Shosone dam Is one of th» where the river cuts its way through where the river cuts It way through a mountain of rock, with a chan nel only 30 or 40 feet wide resem bling a hallway in a tall building, the dam Is erected. On the water side the great size of the dam Is not appreciated but upon the other side the sightseer gets dizzy from one peep over the road edge to the depths below. To get around the dam and on down the valley the tourist car must pass through sev eral tunnels chiseled through rock cliffs. This Is in the state of Wyom ing. At Cody fa the statue, erected upon the prairie, of Buffalo Bill upon his horse in characteristic fashion. A museum nearby is filled with relics of Buffalo Bill's con quest and of all manner of relics or the old West. Buffalo Bill once owned the land roundabout. but since that time most of It has been sold by his heirs, includine the MRbel Cody, who recently Hew he, stunt plane in Shelby. The Bad Lands. Just before leaving Wyoming and striking South Dakota the tourist strikes the Bad Lands. Impossible to describe, this area is nearer like what the average person imagines it to be anything else the writer knows of Nothing grows there, and that means even less than upon th? desert. Due to some mysterious ! erosion work of many years the j floor-like prairie is cut up in large | gullies, low places and high places, and the sand is in many colors ! No one lives there, not even the ! Indians who manage to survive in I the desert regions. This Is in th;| Ten Sleep section where the few j towns are in the form of an oasis j and bear odd names. After leaving the Bad Lands tlv ear winds on into the lower por tion of the famous Black Hills of the Dakotas, and into, also, the main cenler of the Indian popula tion in America. An Unusual Sight. The writer's party arrived a' Rapid City, South Dakota, (where Coolidge spent his last vacation as president) shortly after noon. At that time the American India 1 council was in session there and the party had the opportunity of witnessing an Indian rodeo, one of the most colorful events to be seen in America Today. All along the trip through the great Southwest and the West the party had missed numerous outstainding rodeos by a day or so. In times past the writer has witnessed rodeo events, their big sport, in Texas and the west, but never before an Indian rodeo, and it proved a real treat— an annual affair which draws the movie cameramen. The Indians are dumped by a mean bronc, but they dumped bya mean bronc. but they cannot compete with the Western cowboy in either bun dogging or roping. Bull dogging is the act of leaping from the back of a run ning horse to the horns of a Dig steer and so twisting those horns as to throw the steer, resembling very much a catch-as-can WTestling match in this country. In calf rop ing the calf is turned from a chute and given some distance down the track for a lead before the cowboy “sells out” (they have modern slang out there) after him. From the back of his pony the cowboy must toss his lasso about the calf, stop It, then fasten his rope to his saddle horn, Jump from the horse, throw the calf and hog-tie it. The judges start timing the contest when the lasso is first thrown and stop their watches when the other judge, of a horse, signals with the flag that the calf has been thrown and hog tied The Indian council in session at Rapid City at the time was said to be the largest gathering of redpien of the Seven Greater Tribes sines the white man first came to Amer ica. They went on record for bet ter schooling for the Indians and made other moves to benefit the Indian reservations, but the major interest centered about the rodeo. "Grabbing Leather.” Bronc busting, of course, Is the highlight of a rodeo, and the stand at the rodeo park were packed, as they are back east for a big ball game. Hundreds of those in the stands are white cowboys and their relatives and friends, ready to criti cise any move of the wiry Indians but ready to cheer, he-man fashion, any daring or clever deed. As we; said the Indians a>-e not so adept at roping and bull-do|tging as are the white cowboys, yet they give many thrills to a rookie Easterner no one but VICTOR could have:ackieved it! \^ctor micro-sync kronons Radio is the re sult of more than 30 years of leadership in tone reproduction. “Acoustic symme try**—through the entire musical scale.

Pendleton’s Music Store In these departments the Indians were subjected to many criticisms from the stands. In trick roping the Indians were exceptionally good. One fellow there from Oklahoma kept four rbpes going in wide circles at one time—one with eacn hand, one with one foot, and the other circling from his mouth. In tlie bronco busting contests the Indian youths drew much applause from the hardened cowboys. There were many hisses and hoofs from the stands as some young Indian came from the chute on a bad horse and reached for the saddle-horn on the first or second buck. They call It “reaching for leather” »» in the cowboy country, and what a cow boy likes to see is a r^er who will ’scratch" a bronc instead of /‘reach ing for leather.” ”Scratchingr' means to dig the spurs in and stay on by your riding ability instead of reach ing for the saddle-horn to stay on. But the young Indians were daring and hard to hurt. Many of them got back to the chutes for second and third rides although dumped and trampled by the bucking broncs. The timing on a bucking bronc starts when the wild horse, saddled and bridled by a half dozen cowboys in the pen. leaves the pen and starts to the open as his rider leaps upon him, and ends after seven bucks. It is the most danger ous of all the Western feats of prowess. However, the Indians In their rodeo staged several feats not seen in a regular rodeo, including the potato race and the tepee race. In the latter the race Is made by squaws, two in each wagon. They start around the mile track in regu lar race form, and when they come by the judges' stand, one whipping her team and the other driving, the wagon is brought to a sudden stop and the squaws hop out and start putting up their tepees, which are tents to us. These Indian women in their long dresses, can turn this stunt within a period of a few minutes, and the race is one of the big attractions of the rodeo. Incidentally, several of the run ning races, open to all, women 'as well as men, were won by the In dian princess with whom President Coolidge had his picture made, The manner in which she sent her slen der, grey horse streaking around the rail was a treat for a sore-eyed cowboy. . The curtain act of any rodeo Is the wild horse race, and with the Indians it is exceptionally good. Horses taken from the open range, never bridled, ridden or broken, are harnessed by force in the chute pens. Before the gates are opened the Indians leap from the top rail of the chute to the back of the horse, and as the chute is opened, away they go. Many of the horses will speed like wild demons a great er part of the way around the track with the Indians clinging on for dear life, then they will suddenly stop and refuse to budge. The horses, it should be understood, are blind-folded bcfqre starting and are guided by blows hit on one of the two eyes according to the di rection in which they should be turned. Once they decide to stop no persuasion upon the part of the rider can budge them. The fellow who came in third in the race our party witnessed did it 15 to 20 min utes after the other horses were in. his w’ild horse taking a notion, after a long stop, to move on a bit. Another highlight of the rodeo was a sham battle between a troop of regular cavalry and a couple score of Indians all dolled up in their war paint and feathers. The cavalrymen surrounded the Indians in the center of the track, firing at each jump of their horses, tnen dis mounted for an attack from the ground. Rapid City was overflowing with Indians for the council. Indians of all classes, some in costly autos, some in tepee wagons, others walk ing and bumming. All along tlii streets and in the parks were the Indian wagons with their bony horses, and along in the evening the squaws could be seen buildirp, their campfiers near the wagons and hanging their thin-sliced beef on the sideboards to dry. Perhaps it was beef; the Rapid City newspa pers declared that every stray dog in the city disappeared while the Indians were there. The Indian sections of the rodeo grandstands were colorful affairs. Every tribe huddled together, de spite the fact that some of the tribe, due to their oil wells, were wealthy and well-dressed and had journeyed there in limousines, while others were in ragged dress, part Indian and part American. Some with withered faces made so by the pass ing of many summers upon fhe Sunkissed plains, others lithe and young. Black eyes gleaming below a head of sleek, coal-black hair. The tourist who plans a Western trip should certainly so time it as to hit some of the big Indian cele brations as well as some of the frontier days and rodeos of the American cowboys. Some will tell you that the old West is no more. About the cities such is true but on the frontier days and the rodeo events the cowboys and Indians who live- hundreds of miles away from railroads, cities and civilization come riding in upon their broncs. ill at e^se and uncomfortable on the streets and in a crowd, but at home on the rodeo field. Cowboys of the old days who would consider it a lark to lick a pen full of the movie dudes in cowboy scenes. Rough, un shaved giants of the open, but fast disappearing as civilization spreads out. (The next installment of the travel narrative will take up the trip through South Dakota, then Iowa, the paradise of farmers, and Illinois. The wonderful farming region of Iowa is almost beyond the conception of the Southern or Eastern farmer.) A Birthday Dinner. (Special to The Star.) The children of Mrs. T. VV.
