Umatilla county entrants in the

Livestock Exposition now being held
in Portland have been awarded sev

The Exposition,
which is featured by the afternoon
agricultural displays and by the
evening rodeos, is reported to be the

Great Interest is being shown in
the dairy stock which represents the

also caused much comment. It is
the purpose of the agriculturists to
build up the quality of draft stock
now on average farms, to meet the
quality of horses at the show. Dur

have allowed their stock to run
