matter of displays and prize win
nings. On aged bulls, three prizes
were won by Joe Turner of Meyers
Falls, and one by Worthley Bros. of
Hunters. On young bulls, Joe Tur-
rier took prize. On aged cows, D.
E. Pearson of Boyds won third prize
and on young cows he won second
prize.
That the conference of northwest
livestock men held in Spokane last
week was huge success and of
benefit to all who attended, is the
opinion Of the Stevens county men
who were there. The livestock in
dustry of this county was repre-
sented by such well-known men as
Joe Turner, C. NJ. Baker, G. w.
Peddycord, Earle T. Gates, E. C.
Durdle, Charles Wingham, Dr. |. S.
Clark, D. E. Pearson of Boyds, the
Huguenin brothers and A. E. War
sinske of Addy, the Worthley Bros.
of Hunters, and other breeders and
business men from various parts of
the county
Eighteen Shorthorn bulls were sold

the combination auction sale of

Saturday under the direction Of the
Pacific Northwest Shorthorn Breed
ers' Association. Mr.. Turner's sales

Mr.. Turner, who is president of
the Stevens County Livestock Asso-
citation, said that the recent confer
ence and show were we'll worth while
and that preparations were being
made to make the next show attract
even more interest among stockmen.
The next show is to be a general
one, with all lines of livestock dis
played. Plans for remodeling the
yards to accommodate the stock show
are already begun, and new pavil-
ion for the judges is to be added.
Mr.. Turner leaves this week for
two-weeks eastern trip to buy cattle
and expects to go to Des Moines,
Iowa, Grand Island, Neb., and Wis
consin before his return.
"In both the Hereford and Short
horn sales, the females brought the
higher average price," stated G. w.
Peddycord, president of the Bank of
Colville and the Bank of Chewelah
and strong livestock booster, "and
this shows that the tendency of the
rancher is to start purebred herds
Of his own. We cannot underesti-
mate the value Of the smaller live
stock show. 1t gives the average
stockman an opportunity to be rec
ognized, and chance for people who
cannot get to the bigger shows a
chance to see good stock, which is
an education in itself. These little
shows are feeders, as it were, to
the bigger ones, and are a means
for developing community pride and
developing individual pride in good
stock by encouraging the average
beginning stockman. This county is
primarily dairy county, partly be-
cause the average man wishes
steady income instead of waiting
long periods to realize on his invest
ment. However, it is evident that
finer beef animals are continually
being purchased in the county"
d. f. Pearson Of Boyds sold four
