Stockraisers of Oregon Coun
try Will Be Represented
More Generally
Than Before.
Interest in the livestock show to be
held in connection with the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, which will be
held in Portland from J une 1 to Oc
tober 15 next, is increasing daily, nud
the indueenifmt of over $50,000 in
prizes, which is offered to stockrais
ers, is certain to attract all the lead
ing stockmen of the country to the
exnoaitiou.
The manngers of the Western
World's Fair have decided to hold the
horse show from August 28 to Septem
ber 8, and the shows of cattle, swine,
sheep and goats from September 19 to
September 29. The other dates will
be announced later,
The leading stockraisers' associa
tions of the country have bIiowii their
interest in the exposition's enterprise,
by contributing generously to the,
fund set aside for prizes, and their
hearty co-operation is atsured.
The Nationul Livestock Association
has appropriated 2500; McLaaghlin
Brothers, of Kansas City, $2500"', the
Percheron Horse Registery Associa
tion, $2000 for premiums ou Per
cheron horses; the American Short
horn Breeders' Association, $000 for
premiums on shorthnriis, and the
American. Hereford Breeders' Associa
tion, $1000 for premiums on Hereford
cattle. This, with the $40,000 appro
priated from the exposition funds for
the purpose, brings the grand total of
prize money up to $51,00(1. The pre
'nirjms ottered by the Lewis and Clark
Fair management are divided as fol
lows: For horses, $12,000; cattle,
10,500; sheep and goats, $(500; swine,
$3500; poultry and pets, $1500.
The American Argora Goat Associ
ation, whose annual shows at Kansas
City have att-acted a great .:eal of at
tention, both among raisers of goats
and among people generally who have
watched the progress of the compara
tively new industry of goat raising,
will hold its annual show this year
for the first time west of Kansas City.
The show at'the Lewis and Clark Ex
position will" be the greatest goat show
ever held.
While the interest in the stock show
has been general throughout the
United States, and a generous parti
cipation by all the large stockraisers
of the Union is assured, the show will
especially interest eastern visitors to
the fair on account of the fact that at
the exposition, the stockraisers of the
Oregon country will be more generally
represented than ever before. The
value of the livestock in 1904 in the
state of Oregon was nearly $34,000,
000. There were almost 125,000 dairy
cows in the state, almost 800,000, hor
ses and mules, over 3,000,000 sheep
and lambs, and almost 300,000 swine.
"If we could bank on these days,
and draw them when we retora home,
I would be satisfied," said F. A.
Miller, G. P. A. of the Chicago,
Milawukee & St. Paul railroad, in
speaking of Oregon weather while on
a tour of the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition grornds.
