Elko. Nevada. Aug. 19.-Editor Sill
please find entries to Derby stake,

dll pointers and settlers whelped after
Jan. 1. 1902. of Nevada Field Trial
clubs first annual trials to be held
at Paradise. commencing Oct. 27, 1908.
There are nineteen entries, eleven
settlers and eight pointers. and rep
resent the greatest bred dogs the
world mas produced, and anyone to

There are two other field trials on
the coast, the Pacific Northwest, which
cakes place at WILDLY island. Wash,
Sept 30, 1908, and the Pacific Coast
Trials. at Bakersfield, Cal, on Jan.
$, 1904. Realizing that there should
be trial to take place between the
Washington trials and those of Cali
fornia, the writer visited Paradise
valley and there found ideal grounds
and an abundance of birds on which
to run. We then set to work and
corresponded with the prominent own
ers and handlers in California, Ore
gon and Washington, with the result
that if a trial could be held in Ne
vada, one and all promised their sup
port, as seen by the entries in the
Derby stake. This will make a cir
cult Of coast trials.
The citizens of Humboldt county
must not overlook the great benefits
to be derived from the holding of
trials in their county, as it will bring
sections of the coast, and it will be a
means of presenting to the outside
world the resources of the county.

penses an amount which it behoves
