DATES
To Cooperate With Portland
and San Francisco; Promise
Big Exhibition.

stock show has been set for November
18th
OF the meeting held last Thursday at
Portland at which time the decision
to hold the show on the above date
was reached, the Lewiston Tribune
made the following statement:
At the most important conference
ever held in the west dealing with the
livestock industry, and which took
place at Portland Thursday, the date
above mentioned was selected for the
opening of the Northwest Livestock
show. The dates for the other western
exhibitions to be held this year. are as
follows: Los Angeles, Nov. 2-14; San
Francisco, Nov. 1924; Portland, Dec
9-14. The conference resulted from the
necessary postponement of the original
dates of the Northwest Livestock
show at Lewiston. the Pacific Interna-
tional show at Portland and the live
stock shows at San Francisco and Los
Angeles for the purpose of reaching a
decision as to when the shows should
he held. A logical consequence of the
gathering was to adopt a harmonious
working basis that would give to each
1.
and thus of course avoid conflict of
dates.
The entire plan has now been carried
out, and the four big organizations are
united in most vigorous advertising
campaign.

the Portland conference as the repre-
sentative of the Northwest Livestock
