L. VAN METER, SHOW INTEREST OGDEN BANKER, IN OGDEN SHOW ffi wa Many Letters Being Received Promising Large Exhibits; Shorthorn Breeders Association Recognizes High Rating of Exhibition and Donated (1500 in Special Prizes That the Ogden livestock show is popular with the livestock breeders throughout the west is evidenced by the letters that are being received daily by E, J. Fjeldsted, secretary of the show, from prospective exhibitors for the tenth annual exposition to be held in Ogden January 5 to 10, 1929. Assurance1 of prominent herds exhibiting here has been given in letters from F. M. Rothrock of Sprague, Washington, one of the outstanding shorthorn breeders of America. Mr. Rothrock showed the grand champion bull at the recent Pacific International at Portland, and will display his entire herd of show cattle here in January. A letter from Earl Seeley, manager of John H. Seeley and Sons Co. of Mt. Pleasant, Utah, states that they will bring their shorthorn show cattle and rambouillet sheep to the Ogden show. The Seeleys have al ways patronized this show and are recognized as one of the leading purebred livestock outfits of the western part of the United States. At the suggestion of Frank Harding, managing director of the Shorthorn Breeders association of America, eight monies will be paid in the shorthorn classification at the tenth annual Ogden show. This change in the classification places Ogden on a par with any other livestock show in America. The Shorthorn association is offering (1500.00 in Special prizes to the breeders exhibiting in this division of the Ogden show.

Mr. Whitlock will send these sheep to his ranch in the Uintah basin, where he expects to use them as a foundation for a purebred flock. He is specializing in Hampshires and Rambouillets and promises to give other breeders strong competition at the Ogden livestock show some time in the future. Arrangements are being made for a delegation of twenty-fiv- e Ogden business men to attend the Los Angeles livestock show December 3 to 8, The Los Angeles show officials have frequently attended the Ogden livestock show and promise to be here again this year with a strong delega- tion, according to J.

The most recent appearance of the band Was at The Ogden Terminal band, under the direction of C. R. Chritsensen, with W. G. Jay as manager, now ranks as one of the finest musical organizations in the state. Organized only a year ago as one of the recreational activities in the Union Pacific athletic and recreational system, the band has grown to a membership of 33 active musicians who devote two hours each week for their regular rehearsal. Meeting every Monday evening in the athletic room of the Union station, the band rehearses with each man receiving his full rate of pay as though he were out on a run, working in the office or out in of the Armistice day parade, at the football game in the afternoon. During the coming winter season the band has several important engagements outside of Ogden as well as the Ogden IJveBtork show January 5 to 9. A tour will be made of Cache valley in December under the auspices of civic organizations in the various towns. Following the Ogden stock show engagement, the organization goes to Denver to play at the stock show held there. Fort Collins, Colo., will be the scene of the Becond Colorado Invasion in the spring when the band will accompany the local division athletes to the annual athletic meet of the Union branch of the system. A de termined effort is being made to win first honors at the bg system ath lctic meet to be held next summer either in Ogden or at Boise. The recreational and athletic movement has the full support of railroad officials, President Carl Gray taking a special interest in the annual events. Employes are given ample opportunity to participate in the various activ-itieand keen rivalries arc developed. The band is a credit to the local of the Union Pacific and is i live booster for Ogden while away on its many trips outside the city and the hc-a- and also Intor-niounta- in the shops. Playing at Lorin Farr park every Sunday during June and July in ' the free band concerts sponsored by the city recreational department, the band demonstrated its real class by winning second prize in the Class A hand contest at the Union Pacific System athletic meet this summer at Boise. Competition was exceptionally keen with veteran organizations from Denver, Los Angeles and Portland taking part. The band also played at Omaha last June and the Old Timer's re union held there. The organization now possesses two snappy uniforms. A full dress pur pie and white uniform with gold U.
