Thousand Birds to Be Exhibited
at WdIId WdlId Poultry Show

To foster and develop the growing
of standard bred poultry in this state,
the Walla Walla Poultry association
this morning filed articles of incorpOr
alton. The capital stock of the asSO-
citation is set at $1,000, consisting Of
1000 shares at 81 per share. Walla
Walla is to be the principal place of
business.
The incOrporatOrS of the association
who are named as trustees, are J. L.
Vinson, E. s. Rees, H. Dickinson, O. ].
Group and Fritz Bade. The officers
are: President, ]. l.. Vinson; vice.
president, Otto LaBudde; secretary,
Harry Dickinson; treasurer, A K.
Durant
The object of the incorporation is to
place the association on a firmer finan-
cial basis and make possible the hold
ing of a greater show than has ever
been held heretofore. Last year the
county commissioners refused aid TO
the association because it was no, IN
cOrporated, and this is one reason for
the incorporation. Then again, busi-
ness men did not like to deal with the
association as long as it was not firml )
established and it was mainly through
their influence the association was in
corporated
The show this year is to be held
from December 80 to Janupary 4.

William Howard Taft, Yale, rs, and
