ENJOINS LOB lllflT DECISION POHTLAND STOCK1 SHOW TO OPEN GATE TOMORROW PORTLAND, Nov. 12. With every indication for a rocord-broak-Ing stock show that will surpass any thing ot tho kind ever hold west of Chicago, preparations are now com plete for tho Pacific International Ltveatock Exposition's tenth annual event, to bo held In tho new stock show building at Portland, Nov. 13 20. Reeause of tho uniformly high standard of excellence in tho lives stock exhibits ot practically all tho county, district and state fairs thla season throughout tho northwest, pre dictions aro that exhibits at tho Pa cific International will attain an nn usually high average lovol, as this big closing stockshow of the season will be mado up ot tho bluo ribbon winners from all tho previous events. Champion entries from not only tha northwest, but many Rocky moan tain states, together with outstand ing individual exhibits from numer ous middle western and castorn points and from western Canada, will coma to Portland to compete for tha substantial premium money offered, and according to Oeneral Managor O. M. I'lummcr, tho stockshow will be convprlscd-ot the flower of all tho finest herds. In all breeds and class es, west ot Chlcako, with some splen did entries from points even further east, "Another factor which will un doubtedly contribute to the success Of our approaching show," said Mr. Plummer, "Is the rapidly Increasing Interest of the general public la good livestock. All over the country, particularly hero In the northwest, the people are waking up to tho fact that agriculture la the foundation ot alt prosperity and that livestock Is the cornerstone of agrlcuUare. B'asJ.' ness men and bankers are putting; their shoulders to the wheel and helping to upbolld the livestock-Industry. Our agricultural colleges are doing a wonderful educational work, and tho boys and girls live stock clubs everywhere are bearing valuable fruit. All these influences, coupled 'with the great natural ad vantages ot tho whole coast country, particularly over unusually favored northwest, are bringing the live stock .Industry to the front very rap Idly. Our Pacific International stockshow Is the big central medium through which all these Influences and Interests come. In contact, where their efforts are crystallzed, and all factors In tho upbuilding ot the In dustry are stimulated to new energy for tho work ot tho following year." Tho Pacific International Is now recognized as one ot the largest and most Important livestock events ot the entlro country. The winning of a Pacific International ribbon Is a dis tinction to any breeder anywhere In the United States ot Canada. The mammoth new building ot the Pacific International at north Port land, covering six acres, was crowded to capacity by tho thousands of pure bred animals cntored from all parts ot tho country last year, end In the . expectation ot an Increase" ot from 15 to 40 per cent In the entries for tho approaching show, arrangements nro being mado to extend the dairy and beet cattle barns, also tho sheep division, to take care ot this surplus. Klamath county will bo well rep resented at tho International show, not only by a number ot local per sons who will attend, but In another sense of the world "well" by tho ox hlblt ot the membora ot tho Klamath county boys and girls calt clubs. So well do many judges ot livestock think of tho calves that they have predicted a probable first place In the competition and certainly a num ber ot second prizes. ' ' County Agricultural Agent Thomas and Frank Soxton, club leader, are at the fair with the boya and girls who will take part In the Judging competition.
