Tho cat and dog department of the show will be all and 'more thun was anticipated. Every degree of cat and (log life will bo represented and as tho number of entries In tho cat de partment exceeds the number of cages prepared for them, It s probable that different cats will be exhibited on different days. Though the number of dug entries is greater than was anticipated, It is believed that It will be possible to accommodate all of these . The cat coops are completed, having been made by C. K. Cranston, who, together with Mr. Cranston, is en titled to the credit for tho success of this department. The benches for the dogs are being erected today un der the direction of Attorney C. J.

Pendleton Is tod.iv the thick en town of Oregon. The eyes of breeders of fmo poultry In a half dozen states are centered on this city. There have been shows In the north west where more birds were shown, but t Is doubtful If there has ever been a poultry show held In the north west where there were a greater num ber of high grtide birds than will be on exnimtion In the big show - m tho Smith Crawford morrow. Among the birds which will attract the greatest amount 0f attention will be the pens of. Golden Wyandottes owned by Dickinson & Lcavy of Wal la Walla. These birds won highest honors at the big show In Seattle last fall and In the Wnlla Walla show last week. The prize winning pens of Co lumbian Plymouth Uoeks, never seen in the ninth west before this season, and the Sussex chicks, hatched from the eggs which were brought over irom Ireland by hand, will also be oni t'xiiiiiiiion. Many Hocks and Orpingtons. So far the race for popularity In the number of entries Is between the Burred nooks and the Buff Orping tons. With the arrival tomorrow morning nf the H. P. Williams flock of Huff Plymouth Hocks, that breed will become a strong rival for high honors In point of numbers. With this flock and the pen from the Win- dle Krot Iters' yard of Portland, the exhibit of Ituff Hocks will be fully .equnl to any ever seen In the north west. Accordlng'to present indications the number of entries In the loral show will not be far below . the Walla Walla show of last week, while In many classes the standard of the birds on exhibit will be higher. All the best known varieties will be well repre sented and several varieties will be represented which have never been eben In an eastern Oregon show room before One o,l' tin. features of the show will fce the giving away each evening of a Standard bred cockerel. This plan was suggested by H. F. Williams of Milton who s donating two thorough bred huff rocks for this' purpose. An other cockerel will be a barred Ply moi'ili I lock and will be donated by President D. C. Gurdanc of Heppncr? who will arrive on the evening train with a big string of hints from Mor row county bleeders. Still another will be donated by lister Boyd, the well known local br ler of Itlack Mi norca. The cooping of the birds has been in progress since early this mornmg end will bo continued until late nt night. The work will be continued (ignin early tomorrow morning and It Is hoped that every bird will be In place by 10 o'clock when the doors lire opened to the general public for the first time.

Rabeal. from the district attorney statement of the case to the jury they were sadly disappointed. For never In the history of the present court was there a murdt-r c;..-e stated to the jury In so few words as Mr. Phelps stated the case this morning. Both Arnold and his attorneys eagerly listened to tiie statement of the district attorney and both evi denced their keen disappointment when Mr. Phelps, after stating brief ly the faets of the murder, concluded with the statement, "and the State of Oregon will be able to prove to you that this defendant committed the crime." Not an intimation did he give of the testimony by which the state w ould prove it. And the defendant and his attorneys, unless they are able mind readers, are as much in the dark on that point as the public Is. for Sheriff Taylor has spent many days and nights In working up this case, securing the evidence, piecing together .shreds here and patches there until he has woven about tbe defendant a net so minutely fine and ytt so strong that in the opinion of the prosecution only the mercy of the Jurors and their disinclination to In flict the death penalty upon circum stantial evidence will save tbe de fendant from the gallows. Prisoner Ig Nervous. Arnold is no longer proud and de fiant, no longer careless and com posed. Twitching his lips, restlessly intertwining his fingers, his restless eyes shifting quickly from one point of the court room to the other, he sits beside his counsel listening intently tn the examination of the jurors who are to pass upon his euilt or inno. cence. Present indications are that several venires of additional jurors will do caned uorore 12 men are selected ti try the case. At this morning's ses sion the first four men up for ex amination were excused for cause, tho fifth was passed and the sixth excuse for cause, and out of the panel of 18 only six were passed for cause. No idea of what the defense is go ing to be can be gained from the ex amination of the Jurors except that of the guilt of the defendant. The main point with the jurors Is the inflicting of the death penalty. Of the seven- already excused for cause six of them were not in favor of the death penalty while the seventh, Joseph Wurzer, of Weston, bjtd some opinions of his own as to what the evidence In cases of this kind should be and he was not w illinc to submit to the usual rules of evid. nee, therefore the court excused him. The first 12 men in the box were: Georce Cnrnes. G. P. Hiucenbottom. Chnrks Stanton. Joseph Wurzer. M. O. LiTue. C. M. Price. L. D. Eaton, Ed Fyrd. J. Seivers. Thomas Pe F'i' : J. IT.
