Promise OF January Ex.

WILL OPEN ON lTfH
WITH STUDENTS JUDGING
Principal Problem This Year Ap.
pears to Be in Finding Room for
Erhibits-Rooms for People Will
Cost More This Year.

Everybody is getting ready to
take in the 14th Annual National
Western Stock Show at Denver,
which opens Saturday, January II,
with the Students Judging Con.
test, when the judging teams from
several western agricultural col.
leges will compete. The show prop
er will open on Monday morning.
January 10, with judging in all of
the departments. The entries are
all in and the management is hav-
ing one of the greatest problems it
has ever struggled with to find
room for the hundreds of exhibits
that are seeking admission. AlthO
over 100000 was spent during the
past year for the purpose of en-
larging facilities, the annual show
has grown SO rapidly that the prob
lem of finding room continues to
be the pressing one.
Not only is the question of find
ing room for the exhibits one that
is making difficulty, but the indi-
cations are that Denver will be
called upon to take care of the
greatest crowd ever assembled in
that city. The Denver Tourist Blu.
reau has undertaken the task of
listing all of the hotel rooms and
private rooms in the city, and Wis
itors will be directed to lodging
places when they arrive, either
through the office of the bureau at
the Union station or from the up
town office at sos 18th street. Man.
ager Burhans promises that he will
have room or beds for all who ap-
ply and while the hotels will insist
on two in bed, the prices charged
will only be the same as usual, ex.
cept that room for which 81 is
normally charged is expected to
produce $4 for two persons. Denver
is thoroughly awake to the situa-
tion and everything possible will
be done to take care of the thou
sands who are coming in comfort.
able way, although many will be
unable to secure rooms in their
regular hotels.
The Horse Show promises to be
the greatest ever held in Denver,
and in fact, one of the greatest ever
held west of the Missouri river. In
addition to the old exhibitors, there
will be quite q number OF new ones
and very few of the old horses will
be there this year. One of the fea-
lures of the show will be a strong
exhibition of ponies, including
Hackneys, Welch and Shetland
ponies.
There will be nearly 400 Here
fOrds on exhibition in the individu.
al classes, including the prize win
ming herds from all the big shows
in the country. The ShorthOrn ex.
hibitiOn is very nearly as straight
as the Herefords in numbers and
fully equal to it in quality.
Notwithstanding the tremendous
increase in expenses. due to the
advanced cost of everything, the ad-
mission to the show will continue
to be so cents, as heretofore. Re
served seats at the Horse Show can
be had at SO cents, u cents and 81.
Matinees will be held on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday afternoons
Gov. Frank O. L0uden of Illinois
has promised to visit the Stock
Show during the week. Governor
Louden is one of the big stockmen
of the country and has made
wonderful reputation as governor
during the past two years. He will
probably be the guest of the show
association on Thursday and Fri.
day of show week. The fact that he
is being actively pushed for the
nomination of president of the
United States makes him a person
Two six-hOrse teams made up of
Shetland ponies will be one of the
features at the Horse Show. These
teams are equipped exactly SINH
lar to the teams of big Percheron
horses that have heretofore been
seen at the show. They will attract
much interest from groWn-ups as
well as the little ones.
The Swine exhibit in the breed.
ing classes will contain about 600
of the finest hogs to be found in
the country, representing the Du.
Poland-China and Hamp.
shire breeds.
There are lis loads of feeder cat
tie entered and these will contain
some of the choicest feeder cattle |
to be found in the west. In the
carloads there will be IS |
carloads of bulls, all registered, and |
10 carloads of registered heifers. No |
