600 PEOPLE AT
U. OF |. TRAIN
School Out in Force, Farmers
and Citizens Come From
all Quarters.

HAS come ana gone and left q deep
and lasting impression upon our COM
munity. The train arrived from Ferd-
inand about eight on Wednesday
evening and remained over night.
During the night it showed, the first
We have had in several weeks, and
"the beautiful" continued to fall all
morning. But Notwithstanding this
fact the people flocked out to see
the special, freighted with fine, "blue
ribbon" stock and experienced lectur-
ers and demonstrators, and they were
amply rewarded for their trouble.
The only drawback to the occasion
was the absence of Prof. Carlyle
who has visited Grangeville a num-
ber Of times and has formed many
warm friendships here among our
people. Mr.. Carlyle was called
back to Moscow in connection with
matters of the utmost importance to
the university and state, and could
not make the trip to the prairie,
much to his own regret, as we'll as
that Of the citizens.
One of the gratifying, yet unusual
features Of the gathering at Grange
vile was the large number of ladies'
In attendance and the deep interest
manifested by them in the stock ex-
hibits as well as the demonstration
car presided over by Miss Jessie
Hoover head of the economics de-
partment of the state university, and
her assistant, Miss Amy Kelley. This
car was constantly packed, in fact it
should have been many times as large
as 1t was to accommodate the eager
visitors at this place.
Those accompanying the train were
Prof. w. H. Olin, director of agri-
cultural extension, state university;
z. F. Rinehart, animal husbandman
and dairyman; E. j. Iddings; Mis-
ses Jessie Hoover and Amy Kelley,
of the department of economies; DR..
Akin, deputy state veterinarian; w.
j. Jordan, general agent N. P. and
d. e. Willard, of St. Paul. N. P.
development agent.
Blue BIooded Stock.
The excursion carried with it in
the stock exhibits blue blooded roy
atty. such as has never before been
seen in the Gem state. Grand cham
pions from all the livestock shows
and fairs from the Chicago Inter
national to the Pacific International
stock show which closed last week
at Portland, 20 head in all, were on
the excursion and were exhibited
and their points of merit and de
merit were brought out by the able
lecturers. Included in this exhibit of
champion stock, was Jack Splawn,"
the prize winning Poland China hog,
named after North Yakimas mayor
the pioneer of the Yakima valley;
Berkshire barrow that came in next
to Jack Splawn'' in the prize ring;
with Chester whites and Duroc Jer-
seys of like standing in their classes.
The Holstein sire who has won
against all competitors at Chicago
and other large stock shows, except
ing only his own sire, who surpassed
is owned by the Hazelwood company
of Spokane who paid $1,000 in cash
for him. The Champion white face
steer, the black poll and short horn
eytn oil xxrfvr L.. Ah<s.. Ill
were exhibited. These beef breeds
were greatly in contrast with the
dairy stock shown, the champion Jer-
sey COW, the Holstein COW, giving
on this trip eight gallons per day
and requiring milking three times
daily, and the Guernsey COWS, all
of them first-class in their line of
business. The beautiful Percheron
mare, Amorita. a university bred
Shire and yearling Clydesdale filly
were shown and discussed. Fine
specimens of the five leading breeds
of sheep were shown, among them
being a weather that won the sweep
stakes in the sheep ring at Portland.
Instructions About Hog Cholera.
DR.. Akin, deputy state veterinar-
ian. In his address to the hog rails

prairie country from the ravages of
this devasting disease, and gave those

section may avoid a visitation of the
dreaded scourge:
