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.
