eAHlDlllOn promise IN every way TO ADe
representative Of the state. and in fact
it is claimed that no better cattle are
raised in the country. Just at present
it cannot be stated how many cattle
will be on exhibition, but from the pres
ent outlook there will be sufficiently
large number to show all the different
breeds.
Barber & Co. of Centerville will send
q bunch of twenty from their well
known drove. These cattle will repre-
sent the different strains that are bred
in the state. Coming from this firm is
sufficient guarantee that they viii be
not only in the pink of condition, but
thoroughly representative of the differ
ent breeds of blooded cattle. In addi-
ton to this drove there will also be on
exhibition at the fair White & Sons
celebrated herd. This herd will be
composed of short horns, Herefords and
Holsteins. They viii be brought from
Antelope island, where White & Son do
their grazing. This company is known
the state over among the livestock men
for the excellent breeding and good
condition of the cattle. These two
droves are all that have been so far
announced, but it is said that there will
be several others droves that will be
entered in competition,
The Salt Lake & ogden railroad has
alton Of these cattle. In speaking of
the fact, General Passenger Agent
Early of the road said that he thought
that the competition at the coming
fair between the livestock men would
be a, keen one, and that for that rea-
son, if no other, he looked for the ex-
hibition to be a large one, and thought
many state breeders would send their.
droyes.
Stockyards Business.
Last week proved to be quiet one as
far as the Union stockyard was con-
cerned. The record of receipts up to
Friday night show that 596 cattle, 100
sheep and lambs and "A head of horses
were received. This is accounted for
upon the ground that occasionally
there will occur, without reason,
quiet week in the very midst of the
busiest part of the season. 1t is the
history of all stockyards.
w. L. White, the big local OPERATOR
reached the yards Sunday with a string
of Nevadas. The consignment was
made up of steers, principally of the
best quality of westerns, including two
ears of bareheaded black fellows. They
all went out over the Rio Grande West
ern, Denver & Rio Grande and the Bur-
lington.
Monday evening E. Bates had eigh-
teen good killers in, which he weighed
up to Knight & Co., and the same
wholesale killers got ]. w. Cottrell of
Davis county's drawin of cattle Thurs
day.
Farnley & Wadsworth of Layton and
thereabouts, who have the best sheep
in the country, probably, were sellers to
Knight & Co. Tuesday. They drove in
100 head of 112-pound sheep and 80
head of 71-pound lambs
l. S. Maby was through shipper
Friday of range horses to Kansas City
from American Falls, Ida. He had
three carloads of broken ones and
bronchos mixed. They went out over
the Rio Grande Western and the Den
yer & Rio Grande.
The coming week promises to be
brisk one. The Utah & Pacific will
make a. large shipment tomorrow from
Lund for the Bradshaw Bros, when
seventy-fye cars of cattle will be sent
to Nebraska for feed and sale. This
will have $3.50 head of
cattle. They are just from the ranges
and in fine condition. This shipment is
to be followed by others from the herds
of the Pipe Springs Cattle company and
Canaan Cattle company. In all about
5000 head will be shipped in the near
future.
