the Northwest Livestock associa-
ton, accompanied the Lewiston
business mems special train on
It's recent visit to the Camas
Prairie country, and while in
/ Grangeville his attention was call
cd by local stockmen to the ne
glect of the cattle shipping inter
ests of this vast section by il fail
tre to offer prize for the best
car load lot of cattle to he ex-
hlbited at the show December
II to IA. On his return to Lew
iston Mr.. Clagstone at one an
nounced that W. H. Ralph would
give $25 and that he would add
800, making a premium Of 1925
for the best ear load exhibit of
cattle. In speaking of the ex-
cursion to the Prairie and of the
stock show, Mr.. Clagstone said:
Great enthusiasm was arous-
ed for the fat stock show at Lew
iston. Idaho, December IL, 13
and IA, under the auspices of the
Northwest Live Stock associa-
ton, during the trip taken by the
Lewiston business men November
21-22.
A special train, chartered by
the Idaho Washington Develop :
ment league, made the journey
from Lewiston to Grangeville,
stopping at various important
points along the route.
The show can only be made a
success by cooperation on the par
OF the business men of Lewiston,
the buyers, the packing interests,
the railways and the stock raisers
themselves. The business men
have contributed very literally
towards premiums. The packing
interests will bid good prices for
all fat stock sent to the show. The
railways have made special pas
senger and freight rates, and it
now only remains to be seen
whether the farmers and stock
raisers themselves will take ad-
vantage of this great opportun-
ity. Although very liberal pre-
miums are offered a successful
stock show can not be held with
out the stock.
Freight Rates Explained.
There seems to be some mis-
understanding as to freight rates
on stock. We will assume farm
er is shipping stock from Grange
vile. In this ease he will bill the
car to Lewiston and no charge of
demurrage will be made for his
unloading and reclaiming the
stock at Lewiston during the
three days of the show. If he de-
cides to sell at that point he will
be charged the regular rate from
Grangeville to Lewiston. If on
the other hand, he decides to sell
at Portland, Spokane, Seattle, Ia
coma or other points he will be
given an advantage of the
through rate from his original
shipping point, which in this case
would be Grangeville to the final
destination.
"This shipping in transit ar
rangement applies to all points
on the Camas Prairie railway
line, all points on the Northern
Pacific from Montana, Washing
ton and Idaho. and on all points
on the O. r. & N. from Moscow
to Lewiston.
Return Charges Donated.
Pure bred or other stock for
exhibition purposes will be re-
turned free to their original ship
ping point from Lewiston by the
0. r. & N. railway, the Northern
Pacific, the S. P. & S. and the |
Camas Prairie railways. Special
passenger rates of one and one
third fares for the round trip will
be made.
Large delegations are looked |
for from all towns in the Inland
Empire, and it is expected that
most of these will send their loc-
al bands to take part in the open
ing parade on December IL. A
special prize of 800 for the best
band is promised by the Lewis
ton business men. A great many
noted speakers have been secur-
I'd.
"A splendid opportunity will
De afforded to all breeders of
pure bred stock, whether of beef
