AUCTION SALES OF STOCK.
A New Feature Planned for the Oregon
State Pair.

Auction sales Of livestock win be
conducted at the Oregon state fair on
September IS and is. The fair has al.
ways afforded an opportunity for
farmers and breeders to buy and sell
stock, and every year many sales are
made. The transactions nave always
been made By lrivate dickering
around the cattle department. This
year, the fair management has ar.
ranged for the employment OF an auc-
tioneer and public sales will be held.
A large number OF well-known
breeders will send stock to the sale.
and those who wish TO buy can and
almost anything they want. While
the greatest interest will probably be,
centered In the sales Of cattle, there
will also be horses, sheep, goats and
hogs sold to the highest bidder.
The sales will begin on Friday, and
continue on that day and Saturday.
Those who wish to bid will therefore
have plenty OF time earlier in the
week to examine all the stock offered
and determine what they wish to bid
This feature Of the fair established
particularly for the farmers, Is likely
20 prove very popular.
