SIGHTSEEING TRIP
.,..sr Farms Visited Yesterday By
citizens Who Appreciate Efforts
of Breeders.


'idsd success There were twelve car
!. tbe procession which left Nezperc
hatwoeu eight and 8 a. m. and thes
...r;ed 80 people-all boosters for tn
dos that nothing in the stock line
80 oood for this prairie. This tou
: strictly voluntary affair, origi
.otod last summer by Curtis J. Mile
and few like enthusiasts who believ'
i the pure blood stock game. Rep
...ontatives from all lines of business
we're found in yesterdays IS outpouring
and a spirit of lively interest held the
0ortv TO its course from early morn
ing till late afternoon.
The first farm visited was that OF
Geo F. Reinhardt and sons, east OF
t0wu. breeders of Hereford cattle
where herd of "a pure -breds was in
spected.
Thence the procession took its way
over the hills to view the herd of 80
purebred Herefords owned by Drake
Bros.
This was at the eastern extremity
of the trip, and from there the line of
ears doubled back to the Blackeagle
ranch near the Tramway, where Joe
had his herd of % pure-bred Here
fOrds rounded up for inspection. An
idea of the progress of the better live
stock idea in this section is given in
the fact that on last year IS trip this
young leader of the Nez Perce Indian
tribe had just eight pure-bred animals
to show. Now his herd numbers %.
Thence the party wended its way
down into the scenic six. mile valley
to the original home of the pure-bred
Hereford strain in the Nczperce dis
trict-the Meadow Glade ranch, sell
ected and named by G. J.. Miller when
he broke into the white-face cattle
game number of years ago. The
place, which comprises some 800 acres,
and the herd of A fine specimens of
the breed, are now owned and kept
up to their original high standard by
Frank Cargill, his son, Roy, and their
foreman, A. J. Thor, who had the cat
tie rounded up in snug and carefully
built corrals in punches according to
age. There were IL 2-year-olds as
fine bunch of steers as ever entered
a show pen-six yearlings, II calves,
Il cows and the herd bull, whose pedi-
gree runs to the top of Hereford char
acter. Besides these and of like quail
ity were four cows and four calves
owned and managed by Mr.. Cargill's
son-in-law, Robert Wright. This sight
was full pay for the trip, had there
not been many others quite worth
while.
J. z. Henderson IS beautiful farm
north of town was the next stop, and
1t was an important one, too, particu-
larlly from gastronomic viewpoint.
Here the delegation sized up 81 pure
bred Poland China hogs Master Wayne
henderson IS pig-club efforts are large
" responsible for, and then the alarm
to eat was sounded Eat! Why that
aggregation of mere men had such |
spread ON the fine Henderson lawn
mat it was hard to realize the cooks
were not along. And to top it all
OH, there was a monster freezer OF
ice cream Mr.. Cafgill had trucked up
from his ranch-everyth good, from
cheese to the buttermilk provided
Dy Mr.. Henderson and the ice cream
After dinner speeches were interming-
led with cigar smoke-Judge d. "
Dowd being the first called to the
rostrum, and in turn was followed by
Ed. Nelson and Mr.. Mcdonald, well
known live stock men over from
camas prairie especially for this
roundup; Attorney G. C. Pennell, c.

This big number disposed of the line

holes Creek and got acquainted with
MS 10 pure-bred Short-Horns.
). W. Henderson's place and his
Foland-China s called the next halt.
The eighth stop was made at
H. J. Westerman s farm, where IL
pure-bred Duroc hogs received favor
able comment.
Then the finely improved farm OF
frank Blenders held the attention OF
all while the experts looked over his
pure blood Poland Chinas.
Iheo. Primus is a farmer all the
ume and his 10 head of Short Horns
IS worth any one IS time for inspection.
his herd bull is one of the finest beer
specimens in any man IS country.
