dsnt Flood said:
tit will be readily understood that
the Northwest Livestock Association e
first aim is to protest and foster the
livestock industry here in the north
west. At meeting of the directors
held November 10th; the possibility of
any danger coming from holding the
show this year was can nvassed very
thoroughly. The State Veterinarians
were present at this meeting and the re-
cent trouble in Chicago was viewed
from every angle. 1t was shown that
the only case Of the disease has appear
cd in the northwest was from cattle
shipped from the Union Stock Yards.
The shipment was held at Spokane, was
completely destroyed November 10th
and as it takes only six days for the
disease to develop in exposed stock, the
danger from this particnlar shipment
has long since passed.
"An quarantines have now been rails
Cd but the state authorities are con-
unuing vigilant and will pay particular
attention to all shipments coming to
the Lewiston show.
"All Of the northwestern railroads
nave disinfected every ear ON Their
lines and the directors now feel that
with these unusual precautions there
!" really less possibility Of any epidemic
OF hog cholera or other disease devel.
