another industry which promises to
add greatly to the importance and
notoriety Of this country, and that is
in the raising of pure and blooded
stock, animals whose pedigree and
showing will be known and talked OF
throughout the United States; and
were we not afraid that the assertion
might be deemed as "spreading il OF,
too thick" by those unacquainted with
the rapid advancement the country
has made 70 far in this direction, we
would state with equal truth that the
Palouse country OF Washington terri
tory would become as extensively
known, the world over. for its fine
horses, as the famous bluegrass region
of Kentucky. And this in the near
future. In this, as in all others, the
country is young. The interest mani.
tested in the raising of blooded horses,
and the progress thus far made, is ex-
tremeiy gratifying to every true lover
OF fine horses, and with every assur-
ance that this interest will increase
greatly we cannot be mistaken in our
predictions.

going remarks after viewing the many
fine horses that are now under train
ing at the fair grounds, the majority
of which are representatives OF some
