IfERMISTON INSTITUTION.

HERMISTON, Jan. 5-A mass
meeting Of the dairymen and hog ra.s-
ers of the project was held Wednes-
day night at the Columbia school
house. This meeting was called for
the purpose Of deciding whether or
not to continue the Dairy and How
Show which has been held here each
fall for the past four years. Owing
to the fact that the expenses incurred
each year by the dairy show had to
be borne by the business men Of the
city, it was thought to be too much
of a burden to be carried by them
alone, unless they had the support of
the farmers Therefore. a call was
sent out for a meeting to ascertain
the sentiment existing among the
dairymen and hog ralsers as to
whether they wanted the show con
! tinued or not At the meeting last
night they unanimously pledged
their support and hearty co-opera-
tion for the coming show in the fail
. Of 1917. A statement signed by
committee OF the Civic Center Club
Of the columbia district was read in
! which 1t was stated that they had, az
recent meeting of the club, unani-
mously pledged their support of the
dairy show.
