Beaver Herald

TO CELEBRATE THE OPENING OF “CHEROKEE strip.”

101 Ranch at Bliss, Okla., Will Be The Scene of Another Big Entertainment

July 17, 1906—The Beaver Herald--Another celebration is to be given on the 101 Ranch, this year and it will completely eclipse all efforts in that direction ever attempted in the past.  Last year when he Miller brothers, owners of the ranch, gave the Buffalo Chase, as an entertainment for the National Editorial Association, they decided it would be the last.  Since then they have been asked y hundreds who attended that entertainment, to give another.  Hundreds of eastern people have also written to the ranch, asking when there would be another gathering of he same nature on the ranch.  They finally decided to give one last entertainment and are planning to make it the biggest and best ever given in Oklahoma.  This one will take place upon the 15^th and 16^th of September and will commemorate the opening of the “Cherokee Strip.”

            Every town in what is known as the “Strip,” will assist and have a part in the program.  Since Oklahoma has been admitted to the statehood the eyes of the entire country are looking this way and the time set for the entertainment will give the hundreds of visitors from the east their best view of this great new state.

            A mammoth Wild West show will furnish a part of the program for the entertainment.  An Indian congress, which is to be attended by members of all the tribes of North America, as well as those of Oklahoma, is another of the features being arranged.  There are hundreds f other features under consideration and all of which will help to make the entertainment the best of its kind ever witnessed.

            The crowds this year are expected to be larger by several thousand than those of last and to this end he arrangements are being made on a sufficiently large scale to guarantee that every one will be cared for.

            The thirteen years, which have elapsed since this country was thrown open to settlement, have witnessed many changes.  A part of this entertainment will be to reproduce upon as large a scale as possible some of the principal scenes of the race for homes.  There are many people in the immediate vicinity of the 101 Ranch who took parting that race and who have volunteered to assist in presenting this part of the program.
