At the meeting held on Saturday
evening at which time the officers were
elected for the ensuing year there was
some discussion regarding the results
blems which confronted the association
in the immediate future. In this re-
gard the Sundays Tribune reported
the following.
The general opinion of those who
were present was that no more salts
factory livestock exhibit had ever been
given anywhere and that no other live
stock show in the United States during
the present year was as large as the
Lewiston show, or showed as many fine
stock of all kinds.
The matter of future financing of
the exhibition was taken up and dis
cussed informally. There were a good
many suggestions made as to the
methods to be followed to obtain the
needed funds for the coming year IS
show. 1t was pointed out that after
next year little doubt exists that there
would be funds provided through
county and state sources that would
take off the excessive burden that has
been borne in the past by the people
of Lewiston and few of the stock
were other than tentative, and it was
finally decided that it would be well
to have committee whose duty it
should be to determine on plans for
act both in planning and the execu-
ton of determined on plans with the
committee from the Lewiston CONNER
cial club present and composed r. S.
President Sweet named as such a com
mittee from the livestock association,
d. s. Wallace, r. G. Beach and Z. j.
Iddings.
Secretary Smith at the meeting of
the board called attention to the fact
that vouchers had been drawn for all
Judging contests, and that these
would probably all be concluded by
Monday. However, he stated that
there still remained the receipt, audit
and payment of bills for labor and
material for the present year, which
might take until some time Monday
when the financial statement would be
ready for inspection and approval.
Show Comes to Fruition.
After the meeting had adjourned
there was general gathering of those
who were present and an exchange of
ideas in regard to the 1915 show in
Lewiston which has just drawn to a
close. President Sweet called attention
to the fact that during the week of the
show there had been at least three
times as many stockmen in attendance
and who had come to buy pure-bred
stock as at any previous show, and that
in them he saw indubiuable evidence
that the show had been and was &C.
