and is something OF which every citizen
OF the county may we'll feel proud The
Armory is full to the gunwales, to make
use OF nautical expression, and moth
ing better in the poultry line was ever
seen here or anywhere else. 1t is the ne
plus ultra so far as a poultry exhibit ID
concerned. All breeds are represented
The high bred, beautiful plumaged birds
pumber about 672. Spokane sends
sbout $50. North Yakima, Pomeroy
Moscow, Latah, Keisling, Pullman, st.
John, Endicott, Winona and possibly
other places are represented.
The White Leghorns are a beautiful
class OF birds, attracting universal atten.
tion, several specimens tieing for prizes
Arthur Howe of Colfax is the principal
exhibitor. His family of prize cockerel
and about a dozen pure white pullets are
greatly admired. The cockerel was re.
ceived only last week from the pens of D.
". Young, Monroe, New York. and cost
$50 exclusive of expressage. He is Ger
tainly heaut. Placed on exhibition so
soon after his long journey be does not
show off TO best advantage, few tail
feathers are missing, and his plumage
otherwise is rutfied and nipped.
The closet competition, however, was
in the Buff Leghorn class, with W. J.
Moore, Rev. j. Herbert Bainton, E. P.
Deering and E. II. ROsenkrapz tieing on
cockerels, pullets and pens. The buffs
are snowy birds as, indeed, are all the
leghorns.
II. p. Ripley has on exhibition a pullet
with 10 little chicks Matched New Years
day. They are Rhode Island reds. The
pullet was hatched last March. She has
reached maturity and is the mother of a
brood of chicks before she is 10 months
old. That's going some. While no
premium is awarded in this instance
biddy and her chicks attract all comers.
:. The Anconas are fine class, all good
birds, with Butterfeld of Yakima, Mrs
James of Spokane and R. S. Sullivan OF
Palouse competing for the honors.
1t is impossible for us to particularize.
People should go in numbers the remain
ing two days that the exhibit will be
open. 1t costs only % cents. the best
% cents ever invested. 1t is the con-
census of opinion that this exhibit oi
high class birds has seldom been equaled
if ever excelled, in the Pacific Northwest
That is saying a great deal, but it is the
truth and we are glad to record it.
The management extends thanks to
the citizens of Colfax for liberal dona-
tions, and hope to have their hearty CO.
operation to the end.
H. n. Collier of Tacoma, superintend
ent of the poultry exhibit at the Alaska
Yukon-Pacifc Exposition at Seattle two
years ago, is Judge and commenced Tues
day afternoon to examine the birds and
award prizes. This is a big job, and

herewith as far as completed, the rest to
