One of the big features of the
show this year will be the fat clas
ses in the Stock Yards proper. Each
year has demonstrated the fact
that the West can produce some of
finest cattle, hogs and sheep ln the
country. Competition will be keen
this year.
In order to house the show, the
entire barn and pen room of the Uni
on Stock yards, together with eight
mammoth tents will be required. The
main tent is 100x200 ft. while the
others are 50x200 ft. This is hous-
ng the show in a similar way to the
practice of the Scotch and English
shows, which have flourished for
many generations.
A very important feature in con
nection with the show will be the an
nual sales of breeding stock. On
Tuesday morning, December 6th,
there will be an offering of Guernsey
cattle from Edgemoor Farm, Santee,
California and the same afternoon
there will be a combination hog sale;
Wednesday the entire day will be us
ed for hogs, cattle and sheep; Thurs
day afternoon the ramous Shorthorn
sale of Minor, Dunn, Brown and oth
ers; Friday all day Holsteins, un
der the direction of Colonel Cue.
The Pacific International is absol
utely free to the people. It is strict
ly educational, with no "Wl'ul Wot"
or other distract-concession. The
people who attend this show will see
livestock alone. And in no better
way can they advance the livestock in
dustry of this country than by their
presence and active interest in the
show.

of a State Normal school in Pendle

shows expenditures of $707.71 made
in the effort of Weston citizens to de
teat the measure.-Pendleton Tribune.
