Officials are Experts.
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. '
