The officials of the Union stock show have always been unusually suci cessful in securing the services of an excellent specialist as judge of ex hibits. Prof. E. J. Iddings of the Idaho University, is the authority on the job for the present show and his high recommendations are fully equaled ,by his excellent work. The judges of the races are well known throughout the northwest as being the most capable men for that capac ity that can be obtained. They are Schultz of Portland, Roy Conklin of Wallowa, Frank Craig of Union, and official timer, E. G. Cameron of Union. A. G. Paddock of Union is the official veterinarian for the show. , , Great Picture for "Movies." , Under the direction of J. R. Willis, the Oregon Moving Picture company is on the ground taking complete pic tures of the show. During the past week they have been oue in the real stock country taking pictures of real conditions on the Union county ranges. 100 bead of horses were tures of 300 head of cattle were se cured from the Benson Bros., place. Next week they will take the ma chine to John Spain's ranges espec ially to secure the unusual scene of band' of 200 wild horses. Spain's ranch is one of the , wildest in the country and some great pictures will be 'taken while the machine is in that country. After the. films have all been ' arranged Mr. Willis intends to tour the northwest presenting them with a lecture on stock ' raising in Eastern Oregon. ' PERSONALS.
