lPolk County Observer.l

Perhaps because other breeders of
AYRSHIRE cattle in Oregon realized
they were up against an unbeatable
combination, Walter j. Domes of Me-
Coy was the sole exhibitor of this
breed at the Northwest Livestock
show held at Portland this week. Be-
ing the only exhibitor, Mr.. Domes was
of course, the only prize winner and
his collection of premiums from all
parts of the country and all kinds of
shows was increased this week vita
the addition of thirty-one prizes and
premiums. The livestock show, which
is an annual event conducted by the
cattle and stockyards interests of the
metropolis, was of greater Importance
this year than it has even been, from
the fact that animals come from a.
wider territory, that there were more
animals exhibited and generally more
interest displayed by all concerned.
Some of the animals shown were de-
clared superior to any ever before dis
played in Oregon, and the breeders
who exhibited, especially those from
Polk county, who took the lion s share
of prize money, are very well pleased
with the exhibition. The breeders who
took their animals to Portland were
the center of a number of social events
and the program planned for their
pleasure was n continual round of
merriment. Meetings of the various
livestock association were participated
In by the Polk county delegation and
its members were also interested at
tendants at the many banquets andI
dinners that were held during the
week. Cash prizes aggregating $15,-
900 were distributed covering cattle.
