Lovers of the beautiful, symmetrical
| and strong in horsefesh will feast
their eyes on one of the finest sights
| they ever looked upon IL they call at
Dooley 4 Bakers barn during the time
that Mr.. George Thomas of Kansas
City, Mo-. is there with the valuable
string of horses that came in n day
or two ago. There is a carload of the
animals, and their aggregate value
amounts to small fortune. No one
who looks at them will doubt this
| statement. The horses are carried
| about the country in an express car,
specially fitted up with stalls and ar
ranged for the comfort of the men and
animals. The purpose of travelling
with them is to exhibit and sell them,
for to offer them to the public invari-
ably results in n sale, If they are
shown where the highest grade of
horses are appreciated and in demand.
The string is the property of Nc
Laughlin Bros. of Kansas City. NO..
Columbus, Ohio, and st. Paul, MINI.
This firm imports more Percheron,
Clydesdale, Belgian and French coach
horses, aggregating n greater sum in
value, every year than any other firm
in the United States. They have been
in the business for a long time, and
by intelligent attention to business and
strictly honest and business like meth
DDS have built up n business that is
known the world over. Their horses
carried away every first prize and
championship ut the st. Louis worlds
fair in 1904, every first prize and cham
pionship at the Ohio state fair in 1905,
championships and every first prize ex-
cept one at the Minnesota state fair in
1905. every first championship at the
Lewis and Clark exposition, every first
and championship at the American
Royal in Kansas City last year. and
every first and championships at the
International Live Stock exposition in
Chicago.
Mr.. Thomas is in receipt of letter
written by James =. Mclaughlin from
Paris on June II. in which he said:
The great central show of Paris is a
thing of the past. The prizes, honors
and distinctions are all ours. Every
first prize Percheron at the greatest
show in France is certainly an honor
to be proud of. When the president
of France came to the show, I was
called to his tribune and told that
had been named 'Chevalier of tie Lee
gion of Honor and that he would pre-
sent me with the cross in two weeks.
This is Il distinction that has never
been given before to any many pur-
chasing horses in France for export to
any foreign country. 1t is given be-
| cause we purchase the very best horses
in France, and thus encourage the
breeders to produce horses of the
highest quality. 1t is additional proof
to the breeders in America that when
| they want the very best horses they
must come to u.s."
Mr.. Thomas has been in the Yakima
country for some time, and has sold a
| number of horses. Among these were
Cognac de Burlin, No. PISA, purchased
by the Natchez Draft Horse company,
an account Of which was recently pub
lished in the Herald. and an equally
| fine animal sold at Prosser The string

BILE is headed by the grand old Clyde
stallion Uncle Robert, improved by the
Scotch government, and bearing the U.
s. governments approval No. 1872 on
his hoof. He is bay, with white
| stripe in his face and four white feet
Uncle Robert won first prize at the
| Ohio state fair, 1906, first prize at the
| Lewis and Clark exposition. Portland,
and first prize and championship at the
Great American Royal Live tSock show
at Kansas City, Mo-. 1905.
| Lavoisier, a beautiful dapple gray,
weighing u ton, 5 years old, perfect
| specimen, is another that attracts the
| eye of every horseman. Layoisier was
approved by the French government to
stand for public service in France. On
! account of his extraordinary merit the
French government also granted him a
| large subsidy or pension in order to
| induce his owner to keep him in France
| for the Improvement of The breed of
Percheron horses. He Is perfect draft
horse of the highest type and possesses
| in an extraordinary degree all the
qualities sought for in a draft horse
| sire. He is the type that all the breed
ers are hunting for to sire the sort of
horsees that command the highest
prices on the markets.
Another that cannot be overlooked is

| These that have been mentioned are
but few out of a carload of horses
almost If not quite as good. They can
not be described SO as to give an idea
of what they really are; the invitation
of Mr. Thomas should be accepted and
the barn visited while they are here. A
trip certainly will be pleasing to every
one who is interested in or an admirer
OF fine horses. Visitors are welcomed,
and will be shown every horse in the
stables IL they desire to see them.
There is one thing in this connection
that the Herald desires to say in behalf
of Mr. George Thomas. manager of the
exhibit. He is man of honor and
