PERCHERoN TO LEXINGTON.
Morrow County Horsemen Buy Fine
Animal From A. G. Ruby.


An association of Morrow county
horsemen has just been formed con-
sisting of F. NJ. Parker, William II.
Padberg, Andrew Raney and Shelby
Lee, all of Lexington. The purpose
of the association is to purchase a
Percheron stallion from A. C.. Ruby,
of this city and to make business
of raising a better grade of horses
than Is now found in Morrow coun-
| ty.
This morning the association pur-
chased a black Percheron weighing
1900 pounds. and costing s2S0O. The
horse was shipped to Lexington to-
day in charge of Mr.. Parker one Of
the members of the association, and
will be kept at Lexington this sea-
son.
The members of this association
are all small stockmen, and will cross
a grade of Clydesdales and Norman
mares with the Percheron, in hopes of
securing a first grade, all-purpose
horse. Within the past few years the
grade of range horses has run down in
Morrow as in all other Eastern Ore
gon counties, and 1t is for the purpose
of bringing up the class and growing
a more marketable horse, that this
association Is formed.
The Percheron purchased by these
| gentlemen was one of the finest
specimens of horseflesh ever brought
to Pendleton. He is black as coal,
beautifully proportioned and smooth
limbed and the people of Morrow
county are to be congratulated on
being able to secure such an animal
for breeding purposes.
