Minor's Show Herd.
f
W. O. Minor shipped Tuesday his show
herd of shorthorns which he will exhibit (
at the State fair at Salem next week. '
The herd consists of four heifers, two
yearlings and two calves, three bulls and
five bull calves, as tollow :
Laura and Mazie, yearlings; Minnie
and Marie, calves; Belted Valentine,
Royal Commander and Valiant, bulls;
Linder Chief, Ingleman, Lovely lad,'
Lord Abbottebnrn an i another calf tho
name of which we did not learn.
All of the foregoing excepting Belted
Valentine and Valiant have been entered
for tbe auction sale ot Shorthorn and
Hereford cattle at the Oregon State
Fair. Tbe former of these has already
been sold to J. P. Graves, of Spokane,
and the latter will probably be sold at .
private sale during the fair.
Mr. Minor's show herd is an excep- '
tionally fine lot of Shorthorns, and he
has ever deemed it advisable to put in
cattle that would reflect credit npon bis
herd, he will doubtless get the best
piices going at the fair, and will carry"
away a liberal share of the prizes.
Few Kicks.
There were but few persons appeared '
before the Morrow county board of.
equalization last week asking for an ad
justment of their assessments. The val-,
nation of the palace hotel was lowered '
from $7,700 to ,0,700, and the valuation
of some flood lots were slightly lowered. '
J. W. Morrow appeared for tha O. R. & ;
N. company and asked that the adjust-'
nient be placed in the hands of the coun
ty commissioners. The request waa
granted and the matter will come up for
hearing tomorrorw. The road has here
tofore bten assessed at $1,500 per mile.
Assessor Gove this year raised it to
$7,500 per mile. It is understood that
the O. R. & N. thinks this valuatioa ex
cessive, and will ask that It be lowered
to 3,500 per mile.
