F leminu , Secretary. behind stock-raising; but our horses anil cattle being constantly driven to other regions have attracted an atten­ tion that has not as yet been bestowed Ujion the many other interests, if we may except mining. Such being the case, we cannot gainsay the importance of the Importation of blooded stock to this section. Tho introduction of Ver­ mont, Percheron, Lexington and vari­ ous other flue strains of blooded horses, has improved this class of animals and created a greater demand for them from abroad. Any steps of improve­ ment that can be made in this partic­ ular should therefore be encouraged. One of the most recent movements iti this line, and also one we take pleas­ ure iu couimeuding, is the importation direct from Kentucky of flue trotting horses made last year by Jay Beach, of Fort Klamath. This lot of animals comprises the splendid thoroughbred stallion Altamont and six highly-bred fillies, an importation not to be ex­ celled, if equaled, by any other made to this State. In a pamphlet recently issued, Mr, Beach discusses the horse question in a comprehensive, thorough and unprej­ udiced manner. Ho expresses himself as actuated by a double motivo in issu­ ing tti¡3 valuable work,in which he says: ‘•Uuited to a natural desire for my own success is a desire to see an improve­ ment in our systems of breeding, as well as in the character and moral tone of many of our horsemen.” None will deny that, as is the case with almost every business, more or less frauds are engaged in it, who are a detriment as well as something worse. To eradi­ cate these evils and place this industry upon a legitimate basis ought to be the aim of every true horseman, and Mr. Beach’s efforts in this direction will certainly be appreciated by such. Mr. Beach’s selection of the animals he has brought to Oregon has been characterized by care and judgment. Altamont is not only closely allied with th® best trotting families known, but is himself a colt of great jiromise. He is a full brother to Trouble; a very dark bay; no white; foaled io 1875; will be 15} hands high when grown, and weigh 1150 pounds. Bred by Coi. R. West, Geoigetown, Kentucky. He was sirOd by Almont, by Alexan- tier’s Abdallah, sire of Goldsmith Maid — record, 2:14. First dam by Brown Chief, son of Mambrino Chief, sire of Lady Thorne—record, 2:181; second dam by imp.

Buzzard, sire of dam of Woodpecker, sire of the famous Grey Eagle. Mr. Beach deserves great credit for the enterprise he has shown. We have no doubt but what he will receive encouragement adequate.
