University of Idaho Has Best Sheep and Steer Oresron Wins in Dairy Cows and Hogs. Portland, Or. Oregon and Idaho di vided honors at the Pacific Interna tional Livestock Show at the Portland stockyards. It was an Oregon herd that of J. B. Stump & Son, of Monmouth that swept everything before it in the Jer sey cattle division, and it was the University of Idaho exhibit that made almost a clean record in the fat sheep and the fat steer competitions. The Stump family added further to its honors by winning four champion ships and two grand championships with their Berkshire hogs. Competition among the hog classes was confined principally to Oregon en tries. K. W. Hogg, of Salem, took high honors in the Poland China divis ion and E. Schoel, of Albany, in the Chester White division. In the Holstein division of dairy cows the famous herd of Monroe & Co., of Spokane, took a number of blue ribbons.

The President "pulled" this new acquisition on a group of corres pondents when they called on him Wednesday afternoon. His attention was called to a mes sage on his desk and he wanted to read it. He reached under his coat and produced the monocle. Portland Puts Foot on Honda. Portland, Or. Complete returns from 157 out of 163 prtcincts in the I city show that every proposed charter j amendment and b(n i issue voted on at the special city election was over whelmingly defeated. Not even the proposed $25,000 public market bond issue, which was considered the strongest measure on the ballot, pulled through, it, with all the others, being en j wed under by votes ranging from 2 to 1, to 5 to 1 against adoption. Municipal Xmaa Tree Is Built. Chicago Supported by a thick pole, 75 ordinary sized Christmas trees will be used in building Chicago's first municipal Christmas tree, which will be erected in the lake front in Grant Park. Work on the tree has already begun. A few days before Christmas the entire tree will be sprayed with water to add a decoration of ice and its branches wound with festoons of colored lights. "Weta" Divide With "Drys." Boston Two of the 16 Massachu setts cities which held elections Tues day changed their attitude on the li cense question. Lynn broke a "dry" period of six years by voting in favor of licenses: Newburyport returned to the no-license column after a year in which liquor was sold legally. V,.$ if r. R, Cook, of Helena, Mont., at Pacific eiven first place among Holstein cows, 3 years old and over, in a field of 11 entries. Professor Grout, of Puluth, who judged llosteins and Ayrshirea, studied for more than an hour before , making bis decision on this lot It is probable that Rasper Jenny, of Brush Prairie, a heretofore inactive Holstein breeder, will take high honors i with his aged Holstein bull, which al ready has won the blue ribbon in his ' clans. i The Jlolstein herd of W. K. Newell, of Gaston, Or., also has made a good showing. G. M. Harvey, of Salem, won honors : in Puroc Jersey hogs, the University of Idaho in Oxford Dawn sheep, and J. L Chapman in carload lots of sheep. Visitors at the Livestock Show crowded about the Jersey building, not so much to see the judging as to visit "Ula of fairacres, the yearling i heifer of the Stump herd that recently won the campionship of the world at the National Dairy Show in Chicago. In fact the whole Stump herd came in for much attention. Tom Dempsey, of Westerville, O., who judged the Jerseys, says that the Stump herd is competent to compete against anything in America. "I am surprised at the quality of stock I found out here," said Demp sey. "This is a strictly Western show. There is no Eastern stulT here, but the whole display is much better than many that 1 have seen in the East. "While I say that the Stump herd has a right to show against the East ern breeders, I am not saying that the other Jerseys are not competent to en gage in the same competition. I speak of the Stump cattle principally because they made the best record." CANCER MICROBE FOUND BY NOTED SCIENTIST Montpelier, France Dr. Bosc, pro fessor of pathological anatomy at the University of Montpelier, who has been making extensive investigations into cancer, declares he has discovered the microbe of the disease. It is of the protozoa type and is found prici pally in water. A large number of in sects, fish and warm blooded animals i act at carritri Professor Bosc says he has traced ! several cases of cancer to insect bites an 1 pricks from fishbones. He has also found intestinal cancer prevalent in villages where snails are eaten in large quantities. Drillers Burned By Gas. Taft, Cal. Five men, seriously burned, are in the hospital and a sixth was injured when a great body of gas was encountered in the Standard well near here. The men burned are F. L. Brittain, J. F. Richardson, R. W. Pat terson, Otto Munson and L. O. Davis. The drill was down only 700 feet when the gas was encountered. There was a great roar of the escaping vapor and in a second the air was a mass of flames. The workmen were caught In the midst of the fire. The rig was destroyed and the well is burning. Runaways Upset Hearse. Cripple Creek, Col. When the body of Samuel Sorenson, a miner killed by the recent slide of rock in the Golden Circle mine, was recovered and started overland to Victor, through a storm, the horses hitched to the hearse be came frightened and broke loose from the conveyance. The casket and corpse were hurled down a 40-foot de clivity into many feet of snow. It took shovelers two hours to dig the body from the drift. Higher Price for Hops Is Predicted By Grower Portland Conrad Krebs, one of the best-known hopgrowera in the West, believes this commodity should bring higher prices. lie bases his belief on the fact that an unusual quantity of American hops is being shipped to Europe and that sooner or later the American brewers will wake up to the situation and find there are not enough hops left to go around. Manipulators, who sold a large part of the Oregon crop "short," have been trying to force the market to a lower level, but Mr. Krebs declares that conditions warrant much higher prices. He said : "Taking statistics as a basis for the prices of any farm product, hops should sell at 40 cents, but In reality the present market stands at 20i21c. If production and consumption have anything to do with the ultimate price of 1913 hops, then we will see at least 35 cents paid before next bep-1 tember. "The maximum crop of the Unite! ; Stales is estimated at 800,000 bales. Present indications point to the prob i able manufacture of 70,000,000 bar-1 Oregon's Corn Show Opens Pendleton With 150 entries and more than 5000 ears of corn on exhib it, the Corn Bhow opened in this city. There were exhibits from every county in Oregon penetrated by the O.-W. R. & N. company, under whose auspices the show was held. C. L. Smith, agriculturist for the railroad, declares the corn on display compared favorably with any dis played at any show in the country, and says the exhibit demonstrates that there is no section of Oregon in which Orcffon Boosters Make 1 Showing at Chicago Chicago Oregon made good Satur day at the United States Lund Show in the Coliseum in the prediction that it would show the Middle. West the true meaning of the term "boosting." It was Oregon day at the exposition nd if anyone doubted it that doubt was soon dispelled by the Amalgamat ed Association of Oregon Boosters, not incorporated. Representatives of nine commercial clubs, development leagues and com missions and special commissioners ap pointed by Governor West united in celebrating the day. All day long the aisle near the ex hibit of the Oregon State Immigra tion commission was crowded with visitors. The Oregon boosters gave 14 illustrated lectures in the Great Northern railway lecture hall and the regular exposition halls. Two men who attracted considera ble attention were William Hanley, the Harney county ranchman, and I). at. l-AJwe, Bfjeciai rejrt:fjeniaiivc ui iu? Ashland Commercial club, who has an exhibit of 314 products grown on his Rogue River Valley ranch. Colonel Hanley gave two lectures, interesting the visitors with personal stories of how homesteaders are "making good" in Oregon. In the evening the Oregonians sere naded the different exhibits, accom panying from booth to booth the Ro tary Quartet, of Chicago, singing Ore gon songs. The Royal Rosarians and the Eugene Radiators, in uniform, accompanied the singers. I). M. Lowe, wearing overalls and carrying a little pig and a hoe, was also along.

Eugene By agreement, the South ern Pacific company has just paid $5000 to Mrs. Annie McClaren for 2.31 acres of land at the Western lim its of Eugene, in order that a "Y" may be laid to connect the main line of the Southern Pacific with the tracks of the Willamette-Pachc. The con nection now made gives direct access to the coast line from the East on the Southern Pacific, and it is desired to have another branch from the North west. The whole of the included tri angle is purchased. Cream Rates Protested. Salem The Portland Pure Milk and Cream company has filed a complaint with the State Railroad commission against the American Express com pany, alleging that its rates for send ing cream over the O.-W. R. & N. be tween Portland and other places in Oregon are excessive. Eight other Portland creameries also have signed a petition which has been filed with the commission protesting against the rates. Oakland Skunks Plentiful. Oakland Skunks are so plentiful In this vicinity that catching them has become a lucrative occupation. A lo cal barber has $135 worth fit skins of animals caught during recesses from tonsorial duties and Ralph Lucas, a high school boy, took a day off from the study of algebra and composition to catch enough of the animals to bring him $18. 1 rels of beer the coming year. Accord ing to the Internal revenue figures .7 ' pound per barrel of hops are being used, or a total of 2t''J,000 bales, to which must be added 10,000 bales re quirtd for other purposes, such as yeast, etc., making a grand total of iTK.OOO. Exports to all countries amount to 105, 000 bales, and by the time the entire crop ' marketed, the exports will be at least 130,000 bales. IniHrts will not exceed 20,000 bales. That leaves for home c iiiuitptiun 190,000 bales, or a shortage of r.iM00 bales. "Assuming that the 1911 crop, with the surplus on hand at the time, did not more than meet requirements, and the 1912 crop did not leave much sur plus, we are confronted with a peculiar condition. The reason for the present low price of hops must be assigned to the financial condition of the brewers, who, unlike other years, must pay cash, and they simply buy for imme diate requirements, not realizing the great shortage existing and the prob able advance of 20 cents per pound later on. I can see nothing but 35 cent hops." Visitors' Eyes corn cannot be satisfactorily grown. Some of the largest ears of corn ever j exhibited in the United States were I here from Baker county. I With most of the entries were re ports of yields per acre and cost per bushel. On irrigated land the produc- I tion runs as high as 85 bushels per acre, and on dry land from 25 to 45 bushels. The most successful yields are all from seed pnnlueed in Oregon. The universal experience is that seed imported from the East does not do well until acclimated. Many Klk Soon On Kastorn Oregon Range Pendleton Several head of elk are along the Walla Walla river, just east of Milton, according to the mail car rier on the route extending up the river from Milton. He says he saw a cow and a calf feeding at a haystack near a ranch house, not more than two miles from town, and that a bull, cow and calf were seen at what is known as "The Elbow" on the river, 12 miles from town. This is the first time any of these animals have been seen in that section for many years, though thev were numerous in early days. Tho matter has been reported to the district game warden here, who says if the report Is correct, the animals must be part of a herd brought over from Yellowstone Park last winter by WBlla Walla county sportsmen. Tho theory had been advanced that the animals mitrht be a part of the Oregon herd, brought over from Jackson Hole and now being held in the state's big ganne refuge in Wallowa county. The local game authorities do not believe this to be possible. Contributory NfRliffCnce No Relief From Liability Salem The Supreme court. Justice Burnett writin r the opinion, in affirm ing a verdict for the plaintiff in the case of O. W. Dunn aga'nst the Orch ard Land & Timber company, c'early defined the employers' liability act. The plaintiff was awarded damages for injuries received in falling from a slab haul operated by the defendant company in Lane county. It was al leged that the board walk upon which the plaintiff worked was not supplied with a proper railing. Citing that the act requires all scaffolding and staging more than 20 feet from the ground or flwr shall be the rf i gence of tho person injured shall not be a defense, but may be taken into account by the jury in fixing The dam ages. The opinion further says: "The statute having made it a crim inal offense on the part of the employ, er to create or maintain an avoidable risk, the contract of the workmen for employment will not be construed to include such a hazard, because that would be to contract for a violation of law by at least one of the parties, and hense void as against public policy." Wormy Apples Are Found. Portlapd County Fruit Inspector Stansberry condemned 60 boxes of wormy apples on Front street, while on an inspection tour, and ordered them returned to the growers. The inspector has started on a cam paign to rid the markets of unsound fruit and will require everything that is not up to the standard to be re turned to the shipper. If this course does not suffice to keep wormy, dis eased apples and other fruits out of the city, he will take other steps sgainst the growers. Salmon F.ggn Reach Wedderburn. Wedderburn Deputy Fish Warden Jewell, of Portland, came here a few days ago with about 1,000,000 salmon ejrgs for the Indian Creek hatchery. The eggs arrived In good condition, though Mr. Jewell had a strenuous trip with them, coming on the Break water to Coos Bay, thence to Bandon by rail and boat, and from Bandon to Wedderburn on a spring- wagon pulled by four horses.
