Sunday morning after Rev. ii.
b. Rice had preached his sermon
at Union, between Mexico and
Benton City his congregation pre-
sented him with a handsome gold
watch, as a token of their appre'

the watch very highly-more for
the spirit in which it was given

three times the average figure obtained
at present through the Northwest.

Experts estimate that each Of these

their pedigrees and weight, at birth
will be worth at least SO more than
the present type of calf. BY the time
these calves have grown into three
year-old cattle, the experts further
say, they will be Of such better-than-
