different farmers and stockme,
Of Idaho county at the Lewisto,
fat stock show and represented
an Investment of over SIS, 900
4 They were all pedigreed animals
Of the best strain and will form
the foundation of a strain of
thoroughbred horses that in time
will cause Camas Prairie to per-
haps be as widely known as are
some of the horse producing Sec
tons of the old world.
The horses brought to this
county were nearly all of the
Percheron breed, while the En-
gIiSh Shire stock was taken to
the Nezperce side,
Of the animals brought to this
county special mention can be
made of the yearling stallion
purchased by Wren & Greenough
Of Denver, which sold for $17OO,
the highest price ever paid for a
yearllng Of his class in this coun-
lfy' This firm also made several
other fine purchases and now has
some of the finest Percheron
stock in the state, or in the en-
Ilre west for that matter.
The stock was all purchased at
ne Lewiston show where over
hlrty head of thoroughbred
lorses were offered for sale, and
he fact that this sale averaged
2ol a head more than the best
revious sale of such stock in
lis country goes to show that
lie people realized the need of
ire stock and were willing to
ay the price to get it.

rade stock in tie west, but
