Best Oregon Sheep Dogs Will
Compete at Turner June 4
. . -
Saturday, June 4, in connection with the Marion County Fat
Lamb show.
Always a popular admission free afternoon feature of the lamb
how, the event will be held at
the Turner Roundup grounds
Louie Hennies, chairman of the
dog trials committee, has al
ready received seven entries and
expects a number more follow
ing the warm-up trials this Sat
urday at the Linn county fat
lamb show in Scio.
Pal, last year's champion own
ed by Ahrens Bros., Turner, is
an early entrant. Ronald Hogg
of Salem owns Lady, state cham
pion in 1946 and 1947. She will
take time off from her maternal
duties with five recently arrived
puppies to have another go at
the title.
An imported Border Collie
trained in Scotland by the noted
handler James Wilson is to be
entered by Bob Finlay of Broad
mead Farms, Amity.
Border Collies Lead
Albert West of Halsey with
his dog Betty won the first state
trials held June 4, 1938, at Turn-
Facilities for the event have
vastly improved since that day
when the program was abbre
viated because stubborn sheep
evaded the dogs by jumping in
to a nearby creek or hiding in
adjoining brush,
Practically all sheep dog trials
are won by Border Collies. Old
Hemp of 1893 is the founder of
the modern trials-bred dog. They
go about their work of gather
ing, driving and penning the
sheep by instinct as much as by
command. The final close pen
ning sometimes amounts almost
to mesmerism. Training is be
gun at puppyhood, a dog is in
his prime at about six years ofng from (ne Red cross marked
age.
Early Scottish stockmen
brought Border Collies to the
Oregon country along with the
first livestock importations.
Standardized 400 Vears
Tracing back through 3000
years of development the breed
has been standardized for about
400 years. First formal organ
ization was at Haddington, Scot
land, in 1906. The U. S. branch,
known as the North American
Sheep Dng Society, has entered
125 certificates from imported
dogs as basic foundation stock
and has registered 1800 Ameri
can bred dogs that stem almost
entirely from such parentage.
Border Collies have been de
veloped as a livestock working
dog and are a valuable labor
saving animal wherever cattle,
sheep, goats or turkeys are to
be handled. Certificates of Rec
ognition of Proven Working
Ability are issued by the society
when a dog has established a
factual record.
Floyd Fox of Silverton and
James Harper of Amity are to
judge the trials which are
scheduled for 2:30 p. m. stand
ard time.

tion operator is given a 4,cut."
A few local curbstoners use
their home telephone numbers
as their business "fronts." An ad
is inserted in the newspapers.
with only a description of the
car and a telephone number
?iven. A check through news
paper files for the past few
months reveals that the same
phone numbers appear quite
frequently, obviously the work
of a curbstoner.
The average curbstoner pos
sesses only one or two cars at
a lime. He buys cars from bona
fide private parties, then im
mediately puts them up for
sale. As soon as one car is sold,
he purchases another and re
peats the process.
Dealer Suffers Most
True enough, many persons
have purchased cars from curb
stoners and later been well sa
tisfied with the deal. The curb
stoning racket is of particular
menace to the used car dealer,
not the general public.
Naturally, with no license
fees or lot rentals to pay, and
no bond to buy, the curbsloner
can afford to under-sell the used
car dealers.
The dealers of Salem, who
recently organized into an asso
ciation, have decided to clamp
down on the curbstoners. Police
wi" be skpd "id In cleaning
up the matter, and since the;
curbstoners are violating both
a atate and city law day by day,
there may be some penalties in-
volved as well as a general house
Iclcaning. I
