Union County will be well repre

mares.
J. A. McCarty has entered a reg

H. C. Bidwell, of North Powder, will
have a splendid exhibiit of Arabian
horses, headed by his famousArabian
stallion Sultan.
M. S. Levy, of Union, has taken
down 30 Shetland ponies and equip

to ride some of the ponies in the
Shetland pony races. .
G. S. Levy, of Levy-Vogel Drug

great sire and show horse, Calloway
King II, the sire that has made East
ern Oregon, aiid especially the Grande
Ronde Valley, famous for its saddle
horses. Among his horses is also the
young stallion Coeur de Leon.
There will also he exhibits from the
experiment station at Union and a
great many agricultural exhibits froin
the various farmers in the valley. Un
ion County will have a booth all to it
self at the fair, and from present indi
cations, there won't be any empty
spaces in the booth.
The ones taking the stock exhibits
should have additional credit for the
publicity they will be giving Union
County and this valley, as the major
ity of the expenses will be paid out of
their own pockets, and the prizes they
may receive will certainly not make
good this amount.
G. W. Delay and W. J. Townley, of
Union, went into Idaho some little
time ago with exhibits of Shorthorn
cattle and will make all the fairs east
of here, that is, Weiser, Ontario and
other places, winding up with Boise,
Idaho.
