OF the Umatilla- Morrow county poul-
try association will pass into history
at the armory tonight. AS this is the
last. and best night. II Is expected
that the attendance will be the great

visitors pleased. The work of the

matter Of attendance. Despite the

the best ever held in the northwest

would take prizes in any show in the
land, the people of Pendleton and sur
rounding country have not displayed
interest enough to make the show
self-sustaning
