I ER TELLS GRAPHIC STORY SENATOR SAYS PERFIDY OF BU8SE AND HOPKINS DE FEATED YATES. RISE IN LIFE 8tatemn Explain Chang of Vot By WhlU "W x-Sfeetcar Conductor gland Togeth er," Say Witness. WASHINGTON, Jan. 15. Senator Uirlmvr, of Illinois, In hla testimony today before the Senate Investigating committee wa dramatic In the ex treme. llo told the story of hi life, not quite In tbe same way bo told It In hla speech In the Senate and with many homely details. Blacking boots at the age of ton, be supported a widowed mother and five brothers and sisters; then a caab boy, a laborer wheeling coal, a house pain ter, a streetcar conductor and a build ing contractor were the successive step he detailed In hi progress to hi present position a President of a National bunk. He traced his way In politics from a Constable to a seat In the United Hlutea Senate. The man under fire wag the coolest man In the room while be told tbe itory. His voice wa unshaken ex cept when he spoke of hi mother two year dead. Thon hi eye glist ened and hi words were a bit hoarse. The political sensation of tbe day' testimony came when be declared that the faithlessness of ex-Mayor liusse, of Chicago and ex-Senator Albert J. Hopkins defeated ex-Governor Yatea u tbe primary contest with Deneen, the present governor. He aaid liusse bad promised to supjiort Yates and pledged a campaign fund of 2,500, which ho never paid.

OUTPUT DECLINES There bag recently been a decline in metallic output of Oregon, and ao far as present data show, thla decline was more marked In 1911 than in 1910, according to Charles O. Yale, of tne United States Geological Survey. Tbe total number of active mines shows little change, but some of tbe larger one have become less productive. Several gold dredge are in operation, but the most productive wag not worked for several months in 1911. Tbe hydraulic mines are the most pro ductive placers, and their number is greatest The deep mines of the state are yielding larger quantities or mill ing ore than formerly, but toe grade of ore worked haa declined nearly one half. Thl account for the falling off in . total gold production. Some siliceous ore is shipped to smelters, but most of it Is milled, and compara tively little copper ore Is now being smelted. Tbe output of silver In the state Is small. Baker County i still the largest producer of gold. It In cludes the districts of Baker, Cornu copia, Cracker Creek, and Mormon Busln, and between 50 and 60 produc ing mines, about balf of which are placers, though much the larger pro portion of the gold 1b obtained from deep mines. In gold output from plac er mining Josephine County leads. There are 12 counties in tbe state now producing gold. In southwestern Ore gon the placer mines are producing larger quantities than the deep mines; in northeastern Oregon the lode mines are much the most productive. According to preliminary figure prepared by the Director of the Mint, Oregon produced, In 1911, $599,235 in gold and 69,116 fine ounces of silver, valued at $38,014, against $681,400 in gold and 43,800 ounces of stiver, val ued at $23,600, In 1910.

TO HAVE LOCAL BAND All arrangements will soon be com pleted for the big poultry show which is to be held In thla city on the second and third of February. The Oregon City Commercial Club haa taken the Initiative In bringing about the exhi bition and have furnished a competent manager to see that the affair goes through with success. When the show was first planned It was thought that one floor of the Ma sonic building would accommodate all the fowls but It was soon determined that the largest building In the city waa necessary- The entire armory building has been engaged and from all prospects every Inch of room will be occupied by the coops. Thla is a poultry country with a number one rating and when a ahow is held. It Is always a good one. Cats and belgian- hares will also take an Important part In the show and it is expected that a good dele gation of both will appear. One of the special features will be the exhibitions of the educated roost er, "Dollar," who in charge of hla young mlstresa, Mildred Smith, who is but eight years old, will Bhow the visitors that chickens as well aa other animals have sense. He will do all tbe tricks of any trained animal such as counting, obeying commands, bow ing, etc. The Philharmonic Military Band of Oregon City, under the leadership of R. V. D. Johnston, will play concerts each evening and the moving pictures and lectures on the poultry Industry will add greatly to the attractions of the show.

Secretary Lazelle ia kept on the jump answering calls either by 'phone or in person, from persons anxious to know about the Poultry Show, which ia to be given on February 2 and 3, in the Armory building. The widespread Interest in the show has far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the promot ers, so much so in fact that scores of exhibitors are being refused all the space they would like In order to make , room for as many exmmts as me premium list will permit. Several owners of fine birds have been disappointed at not finding their particular class represented in the premium list, but Manager Lazelle ex plains this by saying that he could not get room big enough to accommo date all the classes on the American Poultry Association list, and accord ingly "elected the most popular type of each class. For Instance in the Or pingtons, the White Orpington ia the one selected for Judging. Notwith standing this, every Inch of space the Armory affords will be taken up with pedigreed birds. Manager Lazelle Is himself some what of an authority on poultry, and is an enthusiastic believer In the moneymaklng ability of the Oregon hen. L'nder hla experience manage ment the how is destined to be a big success. The Philharmonic Military Band will play each evening.
