PURE BRED SALE
IS BIG SUCCESS
UNFAVORABLE WEATHE X
PREVENTS MANY FROM
ATTENDING.

The auction sale of pure-bred
Poland-C China h o gs conducted
Monday at the grounds of the
Northwest Livestock show was a
big success from the standpoint
of distributing the best breeding
stock of the northwest amongst
the farmers of the many localit-
les represented. The top price
paid was $3.50 and the average
for the first ten sold was better
than $100.
The weather was unfavorable
and the condition of the roads in
many of the tributary sections
prevented tn e attendance of
many bidders who had indicated
an intention of attending. Tel
egraph and mail bids were receiv
ed and as a result of this sale
two of the top hogs will go into
Montana, one to Sunnyside,
Wash, and another to southern
Idaho. Asotin county, Latah
county, Whitman county, Wash.
and Nez Perce county bought
the larger percent of the offer
ings.
This sale was conducted by
Howard Mckinley and John
Funke of Cottonwood, and these
men brought to the Lewiston
sale a strain of Poland-China
hogs that are equal to any to be
found in the northwest. This is
the second annual sale conducted
by Messrs. Mckinley & Funke
and it is their purpose to con-
tinue their policy of annual sales
and they hope to hold these sales
in Lewiston.
The class of stuff offered at
the sale Monday was explained
to those in attendance by A. L.
Wilson of Nampa, Idaho. Mr..
Wilson is one of the oldest Pol
and-China breeders in the west
and his thorough knowledge of
the breed was of much value to
the bidders.
The prices received for the 40
head offered was not as high as
breeders have been receiving in
past years when money was easy
but considering the general fin
ancial condition of the country,
Messrs. Mckinley and Funke
were well satisfied with the re-
suits and the class of stuff sold
will be reflected in profitable re-
turns from the farms in the COM
ing years.
The stock show grounds offer
splendid facilities for sales of
this character and the stock
show association is anxious to
encourage the holding of these
sales in Lewiston. The sale
brought to Lewiston large
number of people from the out
sile country and the gathering
offered a splendid opportunity
for conference on plans for the
1921 show and the future sales
of registered stock.
The sale was conducted by
Harry c. Cranke and the clerk of
the sale was r. r. Groninger of
Clarkston.-Lewiston Tribune.

INSTALL LARGE TANK.

The Hoene Hardware is this
week installing a 500 gallon gas
oline tank, to take place of the
small one which proved to be too
small to handle their business
during the past summer. The
one being removed was capable
of holding only 160 gallons. In
order to place the new tank in
proper position it was necessary
to tear up a portion of the ce-
ment walk in front of the Hoene
Hardware. The work of INSTALL
