ness the cobweb of pre-matrimoniai
acquaintanceship: We don't know

BLOoDED HoRsEs,-Mr. 4. >. U. Davis.
one of the leading progre ssive farmers
of Dungeness, arrived here today with
span of large brood mar es of the popular
percheron stock, and a young stallion "a
two-year-old colt half percheron sired by
Arabian Boy" of the celebrated Arab
ian breed. They are from W. c. Myers,
the already famous breeder of blooded
horses and cattle, at Ashland, Jackson
Co, Oregon. One of the mares cost 1925;
the other, with colt, cost $3.50, and the
stallion cost 5000. They are animals
that their owner and the country general
ly may well be proud Of. In fact they
are good for sore eyes" for those who
appreciate fine horses. Mr.. Myers takes
great pains with his stock and gives no
recommendation that the animals will
not fully warrant. Mr.. Davis is a pub
lie benefactor t., the extent of his recent
purchases. Thousands OF dollars. have
been sent to Oregon within the past
two years to our personal knowledge
by local loggers and coal haulers who
would ha We been glad to have spent
their mo'ley nearer home had there been
horses such as they wanted to be had
here.
