NOT HOLD PUREBRED SALE.

In behalf of the Lewis and Clark
rurebred Livestock association, the
secretary, B. F. Savage, has sent out
statment to the effect that in view
Of the financial conditions of the
country and the experience of those
who have conducted sales during the
past few months, the sales committee
of the Lewis and Clark Purebred Live
stock association and President Edwin
Nelson, of Fem, Idaho, have decided
that the sale scheduled for March 5
and 8 shall be called off. The view
of the members of the sales committee
and Mr.. Nelson is that satisfactory re-
suits could not be expected at that
time and that members would be put
to an unnecessary expense and prob
ably be disappointed in the benefits
that could be secured through the
agency of the association at later
date
