The Grangeville globe. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho) 1907-1922, 1913-12-11

prize list at the Northwest Live 1
Stock show at Lewiston, where they
took first place, as published last
week, but when it came to the pur-
chase of the choice animals exhibit
ed there by the leading breeders of
the Northwest, they again took first
place This is certainly matter to
to be proud of; but it means far
more than vain glorious initiation
it spells greater progress and pros
perity as well as greater amount
of publicity and advertising for us.
Out of the total of $6,409 paid out
in prizes by the Northwest Livestock
Show, the Prairie received $1407 as
follows:

Great Evening.
The day of pleasure reached a eli
max in the annual stockmen's ban
quet Friday night when subscriptions
to the work of the Northwest Live
stock association reached several
thousand dollars supplemental to the
fixed support, the association receiv-
ing many life memberships and the
gathering being classed as one of
the greatest assemblages of north
west citizens ever held. The total
amount from all sources is said to
have reached over $4,000. The ad
dresses made reflecting the senti-
ment of these men toward the annual
exhibition also showed beyond doubt
that the annual show is now to re-
main a great annual northwest insti-
tuition.
Wonderful Premium Subscriptions.
Mr.. Sweet briefly referred to the
modest start of the Northwest Live
stock association in the city of
Grangeyille and to the fact that the
friendship which was displayed by
Grangeville citizens then was still
firm, and he, on his part, desired to
eXemplify his friendship by contribut-
ing $500 of his prize check of $500 to
the association for it's premium list
of 1914. This started the ball roll
ing and a scene of remarkable char
acter enSued
John P. Vollmer, gave $500 and
under the inspiring Influence of the
meeting later raised the subscription
to $500; and Ex-Gov. Gooding thused
from 500 to 5000.
Robert Jones, president of the as
sociation, jumped up and said: 81
give $3.50 also, and you may use it
as you please; only you must give
it to the Shorthorn class as coming
from a Shorthorn man"
o. b Cafield said two years ago
he was the only guy from Montana
at the show and that he said then
there would be more Montana men
coming. He gave $25, to be used as
desired.
