For the second year in succession, George Strohm has taken the first prize on the best car load of fat hogs and has put Hermiston on the map again before the entire Pacific North- west. Hermiston’s live stock industry has been in the front at every show where her stock has appeared this season, and Mr. Strohm’s last prize is the grand climax to a wonderful year and record for our stock. There is not a spot under the sun better fitted for the raising of live stock than the Umatilla project, and that fact has been brought home to us here and advertised all over the country this year through the won derful showing of our stock. We have plenty of hay, plenty of sun shine. and plenty of good water, and ideal weather, what more can be de sired for the raising of live stock? At the auction sale yesterday.
