INSTOCKSHOW
Prairie Country Will Be Well
Represented With Ex-
hibits and Attendance

w. H. Ralph, the auctioneer. was
in the city this week from his home
in Nezperce for the purpose of cry
Ing sale west of here. Mr.. Ralph
called at the Globe office on business.
In reply to the question of how busi-
ness was with him, he stated that he
had officiated at AZ sales since the
2Srd day of September, having aver
aged sale day for every week day
In October. Mr.. Ralph is boosting
hard for the Northwest Livestock
Show at Lewiston, which will begin
December 1, and continue throughout
the entire week. He was talking with
the stockmen of this section and said
he had found deep interest manifested
In the show, and that loyal support
would be extended from this section.
1t is stated by Mr.. Ralph and 9TH
ers who have been investigating the
matter, that there will be fifteen car
loads of stock go to the show from
the two prairies and Craig maintain
There will be a carload of fat hogs
from the Salmon river; two cars of
fat hogs will be sent down by e. S.
Sweet from his ranch west of town;
Mulhall Bros. will ship fine cattle and
horses, there being three prize short
horn bulls among the number; DR..
Slusser, of Grangeville will send his
Jn1 foi, ;c
pairing to take the prize on the fat
steer this year; Cy Overman will
have carload of fat cattle if things
do not go wrong; August Schroeder
who won last year on a carload of
whitefaces, will be there again this
year with a little better article, if
possible; and SO the favorable re
ports come in from all sides.
DIR. Ralph says: There is hardly
community in ALL central Idaho that |
have not visited during the past few
weeks, and l will say there is more
interest in the coming stock show and
sale than has ever before been shown
and there I'LL be exhibits from prac-
tically every locality, Nezperce will
have carload of sheep and two or
more carloads of hogs. 1t seems
that practically everybody is planning
to come to the show and there is no
doubt but the show committee will
be called upon to provide aocommoda-
tions for more visitors than ever be-
fore.
"The outlook at the present time is
thar there will be big demand for
pure-bred stock and breeders should
find an unusually good market there
for their product. The fat stock will
be the best ever assembled in the
northwest and packers of the north
west who supply the Christmas meats
for the markets of the cities will do
we'll to be there to get their prize
stock. Stockmen have been busy for
the past several months in the prep
aration of individual animals and car
LOAD lots for the fat stock show and
when these animals are placed in the
sales ring l expect to see some keen
bidding by the packers of the north
west cities.
Taken all in all, the outlook for
the show and sale this year is such as
would indicate that the event of last
yeal will be greatly surpassed both
from the standpoint of class and the
number of animals exhibited and in
poin of attendance. The interest in
better stock is extending into every
locality and the farmers and stock
men have proven that the largest
profits are secured from the better
