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.
Following la a list ot the calves
