' Reeord-breaklns; price rewired for livestock marked the third and clos 108 dar of the Pacific Northwest Lit, atock Show yesterday. The aai of f- W. Coles" champion ateer. for l0. at an average of 2 centa a pound la the highest paid for beef animala In Portland aince the be-a-innlng of the market. The animal weighs 1550 pound and la two year old. It waa raised In Haines. Or. The purchaser waa William Constantlne of thla city. There waa a battle royal on the part of the commission men for the prise-wlnntnr a'eer and It waa over an hour before the auctioneer declared the animal sold to Mr. Constantina of Portland. Yesterday waa the last day of the show and the crowds were larger than on any of the three days. The visitors began coming early, particularly the women and children, who. throughout the show, have taken much Interest In the display of fat animala The awarding of prizes In the hog and horse classifications were the first . things to be announced In the morn ing, after which came the sales of the stock on exhibition. In all the fat stock shows of the country this Is al ways one of the most attractive fea turee of the programme. It proved to be no exception In the yards of North. Portland yesterday. Bidding la Spirited. The bidding was spirited In the fore noon and equally so In the afternoon, when the thoroughbred stock was sold. The chief point of laterest In the morn ing sales, when the fat beef cattl vert offered, was in the sale of the Colea prixe-wlnnlng grade shorthorn steer. Almost equal to the sale of this steer was the carload of aiciteanon. son at Chandler of La Grande. Or. These were .year olda and won the championship In the contest the day before. They were sold for 19 IS per hundred. The leeei e champion steer. I years old. srrade Aberdeen-Angus, owned by A. F.erieston. of Eagle. Idaho, was d llvered to the successful bidder for IS cents a pound. It weighed nearly 180 pounds and will net the owner $:0. future as Livestock Center Seen. Robert Jones, of Wisdom. Mont, member of the livestock firm of Bales at Jones and an extensive raiser, was a Tlaltor at the show during th day. He said that he came to Portland to scoff at the proposition of Portland holding a fat stock show. "You know, said he. "I have always had the wrong contention of the possibilities or tni countrr aa a stockralsing section and I hare never had the proper Idea of what Portland could become as a live stock center. I am free to confess that I bav changed my mind now and think that there la every reason for Portland to become one of th largest markets In the country. Port land has taken th lead In handling th wheat crop In th Northwest and I do not see why you cannot do the same In th meat Industry. It Is only a matter of time before Portland will become th chief livestock market of th North' west. "Portland la th highest market for cattle in the I'nlted States, quality and conditions being considered. I cum from th Big Hoi country of Montana, and I am pleased to find that our cattle sold on the market equal to " that of corn fed. This speaka well for a bunchgrasa country. Pat Stock Show Here Best. This fat atock show Is th beat I bav ever seen when you consider th quality of the cattle which found their way Into the exhibit pens. I have been to nearly all of the fat stock shows and I hare never found on any better. The Montana cattle people will be able to get the price In this market because they hav discovered by ex perience that their cattle will dress up with the best of them. With' that fart established the Sound market will And a strong competitor In Portland. Port land will be able to handle nearly all of th cattl of the Big Hole country and w are glad of It- Inside of fire years I expert to see all of the cattl In th Pacific Northwest coming to Portland."
