Portland, Ore., Nov. 24, 1914,
The stock breeders of the Pacific
Northwest will learn with regret that ,
on account of the presence of the !
dreaded foot and mouth disease in j
the Middle West, and the possibility j
that through some means infection
might be brought into this territory,
the management of the Pacific Inter
national Livestock Exposition has
decided to eliminate all entries of
breeding stock of every description
and confine the show exclusively to
meat auimals.
'It has been found best," said
Manager Plummer, "in view of the
fact that the foot and mouth disease
is prevalent in the eastern states, to
do away with the breeding classes,
not only in cattle, but hogs and sheep
as well, for this year. We do not be
lieve there is the slightest danger
that the disease will enter this terri
tory but the value of the stock to be
shown is too great to permit us to
run any risk no matter how slihgt it
might be. The stock exhibited will
be that Intended for slaughter. This
is the only show to adopt thfs course,
but we believe our action will meet
with universal approval."

he will build a three room house and
a barn 16 x 32, on the 80 acre tract
a four room house and a barn 32 x
40. The sale will be made on any
reasonable terms with 6 per cent on
deferred payments.

ket in far-away Siberia and the call

mand from the natives. Within tire
last few days other shipments have
