Ogden, the Permanent Market
Ogden has been almost irrevocably
fixed as the annual meeting place Of
the international sheep ralsers and
purchasers. the sheep men declaring
| that there is no other logical place
FOR f. The object of the show, in
connection with the sale, Is to bring
the pure bred sheep OF the world to
a point where II is most convenient
for the man who raises the sheep
upon the hills and in the valleys Of
the mountains to see them and make
their selection Of bucks and owes
for their herds IL is also the pur-
pose OF the show and sale to bring
the raisers OF pure bred sheep and
the men who are turning herds OF
sheep into commercial good together,
that they may exchange ideas and
know more OF the demands on the
breeder and the flockmaSter The
meeting is being held in Ogden be-
cause II Is the center of the sheep
raising Industry Of the country. and
the breeders feel that it is impera-
tive that they come to the sheep
ralserS and let them see the pure
bred stock that they must buy to
improve their herds and get the most
commercial good Of them.
Breeders Must Get in Line.
II Is said by some of the promineD'
sheepmen in Ogden that the breeder
of fine sheep or the man who keeps
them on the thousand hills, who does
not attend the international sheep
gathering. is not up to date In the
business. and he will find sooner or
later that he must get in line with
the great show and sale
The westerner is particularly for
tunate to have the pure bred sheep
brought TO his very door for exami-
nation. for IL enables him TO see the
sheep, all the pure breds. with but
little expense and make the selection
according to his judgment. The rails
ers of fine sheep In this convention
at Ogden have come TO the western
mans own ground TO sell him his
sheep. and they are bringing 10 him
the best that are raised In any coun'
try.
T.. Ready for the Sales.
Up to the present time the show
has been a decided success, say the
men who are here with sheep, and
that 1t is possible that most of the
sheep on exhibition will be sold at
private sale before the first auction
day, Sept, 2S. Many private sales have
already been made at very fine fig
ures. and the men who are selling
state that the indications are that
they viii have to come next year
with more sheep The western sheep
man has his eye open to the adyan-
tages of the show. and all who need
blooded sheep are here 'rubberins
around and looking for bargains.
Chairman Harrington says there
are n good many OF the sheepmen
of the west in the city who do not
make themselves known to the fell
lows who have sheep for sale, until
they get a pretty good line on the
sheep. and the prices that are being
asked for them.
There is this much about 1t,
though said Mr.. Harrington: "a gooi
many OF the sheepmen OF the coun-
try will keep away from the show un-
til the first auction day. when they
Will find that many OF ,hc sheep they
would like to get have been sold We
are not to blame for tnat. though; the
sheep are here and we have done the
best we could TO get the best sheep
in the world here for them. If they
overlook any bets il Is not our fault
Well Known Auctioneer Engaged.
Dwight Lincoln OF Milford Center.

salary to auction off the sheep Sept
