STOCK SHOW WAS A NOTABLE EVENT Portland, Ore., Dec. 15, (Special) The fat stock show at the Portland Union Stockyards last week was one of the most notable events ever held on the Pacific Coast. From year to year the stock exhibited at this an nual show shows great Improvement, but the animals presented in the ring , last week were of a quality to make ' one wonder if the limit of perfection has not at last been reached and if it is possible that further improvement can be made. And in this matter of Improvement of stock the agricultur al colleges of the Pacific Northwest states are centainly occupying the front rank, as animals entered by students at these institutions were awarded the highest honors. The grand champion of the entire show was a splendid two-year-old Angus steer weghing 1650 pounds exhibited by the Agricultural College of Idaho. This steer was sold at auction and brought 24 cents per pound. Practically all the stock shown was sold at auction, the prices ranging fairly high. The highest price paid for a single animal was $1,025 for a Holstein bull, a close second being a cow of the same breed which brought $1,000. One and two year old Short horn breeding stock brought from $200 to $500 each. Taken as a whole the sale was one of the most success ful ever held in the Northwest. At tendance for the week aggregated about 40,000, many of the visitors having come from distant points, staying all the week and following the sales closely. During the stock show, the Oregon State Butter and Cheese Makers' As sociation held its annual meeting, lasting four days, at the close of which O. B. Neptune, of Albany, was chosen president for the coming year. The dairy products exhibited were of unusually fine quality, A. A. Oswald, of the Hazelwood Creamery Company being awarded the first prize for creamery butter, second prize going to Samuel Olson of the Jensen Creamery Company. At a meeting held at Medford late last week it was decided to estab lish a sugar beet plant at that point if the necessary acreage could be secured. Business men from Salt Lake, Utah, met with more than 500 ranchers and guaranteed to put up the sugar factory, to cost not less than $500,000, if contracts can be signed" for not less than 5,000 acres of beets. A movement of interest to ah stock raisers in this state was inaug urated at a meeing of the Oregon Cat tle and Horse Owners Assocation in Portland last week. It is proposed to have all brands registered with the State Veterinarian instead of with the county clerks, as heretofore, which it is said will entirely prevent du plication of brands and will also mate easier the detection of cuttle thieves who attempt to obliterate or change existing brands. Another feature of the proposed bill is that it will require a descriptive certifi cate sent with all shipments of cattle or horses, a duplicate copy to be re tained by the agents making the shipment. O. E. Frej tag, of Oregon City, who had charge of the exhibits at the Second Annual Morrow County Fair, has been annotated to take charge of feited if presented by any one but tie entire Oregon exhibit at the Pan- Should exhibitor s entry ama-Pacific International Exposition amount to less than $2.00 he or she in Sau Francisco.
