Tho value of continuous testing Is
shown this year by the records being

by tho herd of George Tllton of Los

At ..the final preliminary . meeting
held last week by those who are in
terested In the co-operative livestock
shipping association, tho matter of
completing the organization was per
fected. , Steps necessary to Incorpora
tion werp taken and the papers sent
to the state commlsssion. . The asso
ciation ,1b not a new thing in -this
valley, that Is, those who have taken
membership have had much Informa
tion ; and somo experlcnco gained
chiefly through . a similar organiza
tion which, has been functioning In
Wallowa county for tho post three or i
four years.
Choose Xante
, The name which has been given to
the Union county organization Is
'.'The Blue Mt. Livestock association."
A board of seven directors was select
ed at , tho. .last meeting, these ropre- ;
sen ting tho different sections of the
county, as follows; T. B. . Johnson.
Cove, F. O. Pottratz, Pleasant Grove.
Duncan McDcnald, La Grande, Dlllard
Choate, Summerville, Mike Royes.
Pleasant Grove and John Waelty of
Elgin. .T, B, Johnson was made presi
dent p tho board, and F. G. Pottratz,
.vice -president. Harry G. Avery, coun
ty agent, was made secretary -treasurer
of tho association.
; John Waelty of Elgin and Ratio
Hudson, of Imblcr, were selected to
; take care of tho shipments of hoys
and cattle from week. to week. Mr.
.Wuelty. will oversee ; the territory
round about Elgin while Mr. Hudson

Membership is open to all. growers:
of livestock in tbls.county. The state
law requires that a membership, fee
bo collected In, such an organiza
tion., In this case, the fee has been
set at 60 cents. This fee, we are
told, Is perpetual and once paid
stands good as long as one remalnfe
a member of the organization.

At tho annual meeting of the Un
ion county lamb pool held on the
sumo doy It wos unanimously voted
that this organization would disband,
and that all shipments would be
made through the Blue Mt. Shipping

on the grading of animals for ship
ment, much as has been done In the
past, and also to ship a larger per
cent earlier In the season.

on 22,000-pound loadings 25 to 45 per

Out of tho markets 75 per cent
rates now apply on feeder and stock

the 22,000-pound loadings and a. 'lit,
tie higher on the 26.000-pound load-:
Ings than tho present rates. The com
mission states, however, that "rates
as h'tgh as 86 'per cent" would not.
be "considered 'reasonable bh stocker

continue a more liberal policy.
Of very great importance is the
arrangement whereby stock may be

applicable to such stock fit for
slaughter. The commission states,;
"we. see no reason why it should not !

BREAD WITHOUT BUTTEfe?
GOOD Butter makes good bread taste better, and supplies those
essential elements of nourishment which bread alone does not
contain. Butter is not a luxury It Is a vital necessity and one
for which there Is no substitute. Use plenty of It and remember
that it Is bcohorny to buy the best for Blue Mountain Butter
