. ' when Blokland Bros, "bought the
Kerad Herd of Hereford cattle some
years go they did not dream tiut
built of this bieed mould ever brinj
aua per Bead, not to mention twantv
or more to one buyer." . Nor did they
at that time expect that they would
ever pay $1000 for a Hereford bu'.l
calf. Still all this has come to pass ir.
comparatively few yeara- time that
they have oaroej their row well known
herd of cattle.
In fact the day they took home their
thousand-dollar calf it ii pretty sun'
that they thought they had paid a Ion
price for auch a small animal, .tut
thia calf came from the Harris herd in
Missouri, and the Harris Hereford
. were known far and wide' as among
the best of the breed. These "Repeat-
er" cattle, as they are generall)
known, have found favor with others
' aince that time. A few months after
this representative of the Repeater
family arrived in the Grande' Rondo
valley some twenty half-brothers and
other kin sold at an average price of
11680 per head at public auction. Thit
naturally made the owners of the new
ealf feel that they evidently had not
paid more for him than others were
willing to pay for auch animals of the
same breeding. About a year ago
another bull
of this same breeding
sold for $27,000 and this was furthei
gratifying evidence as to the esteem
for the Kepeater family of Herefords

of Harris, Mo., sold at public auction

grand-sire of the Blokland bull, sold

191st,. at $20,000; Repeater 134th at
120,000, and Repeater 16tth at $19,
000. If anyone thinks that Blokland
Bros, paid too much for this particu
lar bull after reading the above facts
and after taking a look at this par
ticular individual and some of his
offspring, then the writer is up. It
is certain that the Blokland nros will
never regret the day they decided to
pay $1000 for this bull. A member of

Twe pigs That Traeoled.
Chester White pigs' that lav been
rsnd in the Grande Honda valley arc
in demand. Ever since Arch' Conlev
took his show herd on the circuit two
years sgo they have been sold as rap-
uiiy at tney could be produced. In
fact that little trip those Union' countv
hoge made'hai turned many a Chcstir
White ho, fancier's eye towards Un-
n county. Local men have- beei
thinking that those white pigs of Mr
Conley'e are some pigs, and have I'een
placing orders quite frequenllv Or-
, dera from M,in. M.kn wl.
j,.. and Oregon havs K?en' coming in
licjdily. And much as in other husi
iss, it has been a ca. of "first come,
f::st served." Thee hogs that have
aonr outside the county have mostly
gone by express and ha: reachid
their destination in a few dr.ys not
much worse for .wear.
One day there came an order for'a
pair of pigs, from Idaho. As soon r.a
a couple of the pigs were large enougli
to travel, Mr. (Jonlcy built them 3
rounle of nice little crate, nut M
pjg, jnto them, then put them on the
truck and hauled them to La Grande.
At .the local express office they were
billed out the same as any other twe
pigs might have been sent out. These
details over. Mr. Conlev wont back tr
the farm ani Rve the maUor no fur
ther thought than is always the case
in shipping, that they receive gooc'
treatment on the way; and are deliv
ered in good shape. About a month
later there came a letter from the
purchaser. It said that the pigs had
just reached their destination, in good
shape; that they ware hauled GO miles
by wagon and finally were packed 1?
miles on the backs of pack horses be
fore reaching their destination after
leaving the express office. It tool
them just 2fi days to get to their new
home after leaving their old home in
Union county. This sounds like the
days of old, before tho auto and tho
other means of travel were so com
mon. Without a doulit, there are those
who are still pioneering in this great'
northwest.
