W. O. Elinor llrinjrs Out a, Ship
ment of Fine Cattle.
W. O. Minor, tine stock breeder and
merchant, returned Monday evening,
from Chicago and the East, where he
has been attending the International
Fat Stock show, and also looking over
the fine?t show herds of Eastern and
foreign bred Shorthorns tojadd to hie
already treat herd.
Mr. Minor's cattle, Rolando, the first
prize winner at the big stock show, and
the yearling heifer Nellie, that was
shown last fall at the Western lairs, and
Pride's l'.aron III, a 2 year-old, were
shippe d over the Oregon Short Line from
lleppner to Chicago, on the loth of last
month.
Mr. Minor started on November 121st.
lie went over the Northern Pacific to
Hillings, Montana, an 1 from thete over
thn lUirimgton to Cedar Kapid.s, Iowa,
where i,e stopped over a couple of days
to visit relatives, arriving in l hicago,
on the tith inst.
Mr. Minor says that he wa an attent
ive and observing specator at the great
International Fat Stock show, and says
ihut it was a gre.it sciiool for any stock
man who would studv ids lesson.
About !0t) head of registered Short-
,,om( Hereford and Angus cattle were
on exhibition from the finest herds in
. II i 1 ..v.Mfw.i.t.
the worm. Larnm.i w a a wtn in1"
il. alSO C'tC!l ana r.ngnsri in-wi.i
were there to coiiipete for pr.zes. There
ere also hundreds of hogs, sheep and
h.nres, on exhibiti n;.
With L he great number of ea'tle fiom
1 the best herd- all over the United States,
Canada, and Scotch mid English bred
aniinuls, it is certainly gratifying to Or-
goii people to unow that Buiaiido, b.ed
by Mr. Minor, on his Mountain Vaiiev
stock farm, in Morrow county, took lirsi
premium, and brought 'lie highest price
of any animal put up at public auction.
liolando w 8 purchased by E. W.
Boweu.of Delphi, Indiana, a well known
breeder, who will place this line hull at
the head oi his great show herd. Mr.
Bowen's herd is one of the finest in the
United States, taking !-econd premium
at the big show.
liolando, in the yeaidng class was an
easy winner, piomintntiy outclassing
all competitors. His official weight was
1S30 pounds in the show ring, only los
ing -'0 pounds in sh.pun'iit fiom llepp
ner to Chicago.
When BoUndo was led imo the show
ring by Mr. Carotiiers, Mr. Minor's
herdsman, and the biue nbbuu was be
ing awarded, .Mr. Minor was suirL-ed
to hear some one away back in the
audiance speak out in a wry loud tone
of voice, "Hurrah for O.egjn." It
proved to be a Washington man who
was very enthusiastic in congratulating
Mr. Minor on his great success.
Rolando was the only one of Mr. Mi
nor's cattle txir. bhed, the olher two be
ing sold at good figures.
Mr. Minor's visit was not only to show
his line stock, but to improve his show
herd by adding soms of the t'o-t blood
that money could buy f:o;n the choicest
stock in the world.
In all he bought l )load, six of the
animals being show call e, which C'jt-t
ifoTOO. He purchased two show heifers,
one bred in Kentucky, and the ether in
Indiana, both being in-ide of the mon
ey at the big show. For one of there
fine hei'ers he paid :fl.y0.
One of the cows, Stella, from the heid
of N. P. Clark, St. Cloud. Minn., which
Mr. Minor will bring o:it. took f-econd
premium last year in the '2 year-old c'a-s
at the fat stock show
Mr. Minor's choice of the new herd
purchased is Orange Blossom, a year-
ling heifer bred by X. P.Clark. He
considers this the best yearling heifer
in America, and her purchase price was
U1500.
Twocf the yearling heifers are straight
Scotch bred, and are very fine animals.
Three of the calves are plainly bred
calves for range bulls.
Mr. Minor was the only extreme Wee
tern breeder exhibiting stock at the big
show.
Mr. Minoi'fl Mountain Valley Stock
Farm is one of the big institutions of
Morrow county. His registered herd
now numbers about 125 head and they
are valued at $30,000; at least this
amount of money would hardly buy the
herd today. His fine etock farm con
sists of 1 GOO acres of the finest land. He
has 40 acres in alfalfa aud will put in 40
acres race next year.
Mr. Minor's herd now contains more
champion blood, is larger and more val
uable than any other herd of Shorthorns
on the Pacific coast.

who was shot lastummer by unknown
paities, and who has been Buffering
from the wound ever since, returned
Thursday evening from St. Vincent's
hospital where he had been under
treatment for three weeks. An opera
tion was performed and a fragment of
the ballet which had lodged in a rib was
removed. Since the cause of the
trouble has been removed, Mr. Elliott
is recovering rapidly.

''Dyspepsia," wrote Eupene Field,
"often incapacitates a man for endeavor
and sometimes extinguishes the fire of
ambition." Though great despite his
complaint Field su tiered from- indiges
tion all his life. A weak, tirod stomach
can't digest your food. It needs
rest. You can only rest it by the use
of a preparation like Kodol, which re
lieves it of work by digesting your food.
Rest soon restores it to its normal tone.
