12 HIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 13; 1921 POPS ID 00110 SILK SHARE HONORS Dog Show and Fabrics Are Gotham Attractions. 2000 CANINES EXHIBITED Color Display at Grand Central Palace Remarkable One; Yegg men as Busy as Ever. BY JESSE HENDERSON. (Copyright, 1921, by The Oregonian,) HEW YORK, Feb. 12. (Special.) Puppies and fine silks divided the honors of the week. The entries for rhe 41st annual show of the Westmin- cter Kennel club n Madison Square garlen numbered 2000, a total almost equaling thsut of the subpenas Issued daily on behalf of municipal investi gating committees. As for the liv and dead silkworms making up the international silk show at Grand Cen tral Palace, they were as lncalcula ble as holdups on Broadway. In either case the number was sufficient. The dogs ranged from toy spaniels the size of a portion of pie in modern restaurant to Great Danes as big as the German bluff. There were bloodhounds of the sort which chased Eliza across the ice, a breed super seded roundabout this city by the rumhound who chases John Barley corn across, through, under, or over anything and Is willing to supply his own ice and oranges. There were police dogs a misnomer, because they do occasionally track a criminal. There were Irish terriers growling at black -and-tans, and English bulls showing their teeth at dachshunds. With 2000 entrants barking all once, Madison Square garden sounded like a peace conference. Yet some of the fabrics displayed at the silk show were hardly less loud. Booths representing a corner in an oriental bazaar or a cross-section of Nubia afforded opportunity for scar let as vivid as a Freudian complex, purples as somber as an income tax reaction, and sunrise shades as pink as a night in Greenwich village. Across exquisite textures .there trailed designs fragile as the 18th amendment and eerie as a dyspep tic s dream. Among the lovely and lurid bales of beauty were somejhet appeared pro phetic of a new era in figured silki Flowers and conventionalized devices have hitherto been the fashionable decorations. But one of the new de signs showed ' on a soft blue back ground two little figures like people from the Rubaiyat. Resplendent in Persian robes, each pair sat in its tiny Persian garden. A local prohibition commission1 an nounced that the dry law has less ened crime. This is a blessing In deed, for with any more crime loose around Manhattan there'd be no room for aught else. Ycgg Very Indntrloa. The notice about .the decrease in crimi -was sandwiched between, the sentence of Brindell, head of the building trades council, to not less than five'years at hard labor in Sing Sing for extortion, and a round-up of the "drug ring." which has smuggled narcotics from abroad and released 1200.000 daily for the doping of New York. Robbers say they need drugs, to sharpen their wits. Perhaps this is true. At any rate, having combed the apartments and citizenry once, yeggs have started again at the be ginning. Twice du-ing the week outlaws have returned to places for merly robbed. In each instance the victim had collected a few more dol lars and jewels in time to be cleaned out once more. so morougn were the gunmen s methods that one of them even 'frisked Al Jennings, the former no torious train robber. Al, who re formed some years ago, came to New York the other day and had not been -hers 20 minutes before he saw a fcun poked in his face and heard a harsh voice bidding him come across and come quick. The pioneer west has nothing on New York nowadays. In Roseburg today for the purpose of investigating a number of Broccoli shipments made from this city to for eign markets that were declared to be "culls." Owing to the large number of Indi vidual growers of broccoli seed in this county. Professor Boquet said it would be a hard matter to determine who had shipped the faulty product. He favored a system of seed Inspection whereby the broccoli crop may be kept under close supervision. ' At the present time the Douglas county product is bringing a much higher price than the vegetable pro duced in California, but if the practiceJ oi snipping cuns to ine larger mar kets continues it will have a bad ef fect on the local producers, Mr. Bo quet said. The first car of broccoli to leave this county was shipped Friday ty Foster Butner, a local producer. This waj the earliest carlot shipment ever recorded In the Roseburg dis trict .and the first time in the history cf the industry, in this county that a straight car has been loaded by. an individual shipper. Mr. Butner says he has a good mar ket for this year's crop and later will make other substantial shipments. HIGHWAY ROUTE STUDIED PACIFIC . BOOSTERS MEET OREGOX CITY. AT MILK DELIVERED BY BOAT Vancouver Dairymen Take Product to City in Barges. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Feb. 12. (Special.)

The commission, before leaving Oregon City, however, made It- plain that after the highway was trans ferred over the South End hill instead of the river route at present, the elec tric line from here to Canemah would have to be discontinued and all traf fic, outside of pedestrians, would be barred on the stretch.
