SHORTHORN CATTLE
COME FROM SCOTLAND
N. WILLIAMSON RECEIVES REAL
ARISTOCRATS FROM SCOTCH
HERDS THIS WEEK.

Three head of purebred, registered
-ShOrthorn cattle, direct from Scot
land, the first ever imported into
northern Idaho, arrived here Thurs
day for N. Williamson, of Moscow.
The cattle have been shipped dis
tance of almost 5000 miles, but came
through in fine condition. They were
delayed nine days in Montana, due to
a washout on the railroad, and had to
be detOured over another road.
The shipment consists of fine
Scotch Shorthorn COW, imported in
March direct from Scotland, with a
bull calf by her side; and Imported
Golden Stamp, a beautiful, snow white
senior yearling bull, being one year
old March 2, last. These cattle were
held in quarantine at the Atlantic
coast for several weeks, then shipped
to Ohio and thence to Chicago, where
Mr.. Williamson bought them at.
auction three weeks ago. They were
shipped to Montana with some bought
at the same sale by Louis w. Hill,
and reshipped from Montana to Mos
COW. The freight bill on the three
animals was 1884.
"These are the first imported
Scotch cattle ever brought to north
ern Idaho and / think they will be
valuable addition to the Shorthorns Of
the Inland Empire said Mr.. William
son. I'VE need better cattle in the
northwest and l believe that as con-
ditions again become normal it will be
found that nothing will add more to
the general prosperity of the north
west than high class Shorthorn cattle
on the grain FARMS"
Mr.. Williamson owns six farms in
the Palouse country, which he ac-
quired after closing out his big mer-
camille establishment here several /
years ago, and is devoting two of
these farms, Farview, with $40 acres
between Palouse and Garfield, and |
Ennis Fallen smaller farm one mile
north Of Moscow, to his purebred
,Shorthorn cattle, of which he now has !
nearly 100 head. He plans to show
these imported cattle at the livestock
shows at Spokane and Portland next
fall.
The bull, Imported Golden Stamp,
is one of the best bred bulls. ever
brought to the United States. He was
born 21 miles from the home of
Archie Kane, Mr. Williamson's herds
man, and took first prize in a class of
140 at the Aberdeen show last Feb
ruary. He is beautiful animal, and
came through the ordeal of the 5000 /
mile trip in splendid condition. He
will be used by Mr.. Williamson for
his young stock from his Viilager
breeding. His first 10 dams are all
Goldie strain, running from "Goldie
6th," his tenth 'grand-dam, to Goldie
54th, his own mother. Seven of the K
dams in his ancestry were bred by (
Mari and the last three by ]. L. Reid, {
both noted Scotch breeders.
The COW, Imported Lady Haw- {
thorn 3rd, V64-1O38E," is a beautiful 1
roam heifer; the calf at her side being K
her first. She is splendidly proper k
tioned, with heavy brisket, wide, thick
loins, straight back and a handsome
head and eye. She will make won
ierfully large COW when fully grown. ]
Her calf is pure white, sired by Kim /
beachie Crest, noted Scotch bull, /
and Archie Kane, the herdsman, says {
The calf will make as good bull as 7
the yearling Mr.. Williamson bought. {
Archie says today that he knows ]
where he can sell the calf for $500 but {
thinks that price too cheap and ad- c
Uses Mr.. Williamson to keep him un-
Ill he is year or two years old. /
The cattle attracted much attention +
and favorable comment as they were q
ed through the streets of Moscow and s
,ut to Mr.. Williamsons Ennis Fallen a
.anch, near Moscow. Mr.. Williamson il
