(I3y As.sociatod Press to The Obsorvor)
PAJUS, April 21. Grave doubts
are expressed! as to whether the per
lected peace treaty would be present
de to the Gennau representatives on
the coming Friday. While the treaty
may be communicated to them, in sub
stance it was said in well informed
quarters that it would be physically
impossible to prepare the document in
its complete and iinal form in the four
days remaining.
President Wilson absented himself
from the premiers' conference on the
Adriatic question today.
Publicity May lie Delayed.
The council of four are discussing
the making of the peace treaty public.
.It will probably be published immedi
; ately after it is delivered to the Ger
mans. Otherwise the Germans might
give out Ihc first version ldadcd with
propaganda.
It is planned to cable a two hundred
and fifty word officjal summary of
the treaty first, then an official sum
mary and finally the full text of the
treaty a day or two later.
The state department at 'Washing
ton already has the text of the cove
nant of the League of Nation's. The
text of the treaty may be nearly a
hundred thousand words.

WELL KNOWN BREEDERS
CONTRIBUTE TO LIST
Those Familiar With the Animals
Consigned Sny That They Are All
of Highest Type and tho Event Is
Expected to Attract the Attendance
of Many Prominent Stockmen of
the Northwest.
The wonderful growth of interest
in Shorthorn cattle in Union county,
Oregon, and yie adjoining counties,
litis resulted in a decision on the part
oi' the Northwestern Shorthorn Breed
ers association to put on a big sale of
registered Shorthorn bulls and cows
at La Grande on Thursday, May 1,
1B19. This is the first sale of the
kind held in this part of Oregon. Some
thing over fifty registered animals,
many of them good enough to win in
show rings are listed for the sale cat
alog. The consignors to the sale are all
well-known and successful breeders of
pure bred Shorthorn cuttlo and the
consignments contain an unusually
largo percentage of animals -bred in
Oregon. In fact, the sale animals arc
largely from some of tho best known
herds in Union county. Tho list of
sale consignors is as follows:
W. J. Townley, Union, Ore., four
cows and six bulls; W. E. Green,
Union, two cows and fivo bulls;
Hutchinson & (merman, Union, one
cow and two bulls; T. N. Trnlhor &

The selection of Union county by
tho Northwestern Shorthorn Breeders'
association as n point in which to hold
a semi-annnunl sale of registered
bulls and cows of the breed is a tribute
