President of Pacific International Live-

O. M. Plummer, of Portland, known
to fams because of bis interest in
purs bred livestock, because of his
success in putting over the Pacific-In­
ternational Livestock exposition, of
which he is president, and for numer­
ous other private and public activities,
has entirely missed bis calling. He
waa cut oat to be a newspaper re­
porter.
As evidence of this fact, during his
recent trip up the Willamette valley
in which he boosted the exposition of
which he ia preaident and made
epeeches in the interest of pure bred
stock worthy of being shown at the
expoettioa, he picked up at least two
unusual items wbiek he left here for
publication.
While looking over Cal. Young’s
ranck near Eugene he found in the
hay barn 60 tons or more of timothy
hay whieh has been there sinee 1875,
or possibly even before that, making it
at least 45 years of age. , During many
years in which others ran short of hay
the supply in this barn waa so much
over that actually required that it wus
not necessary to touch this 60 tons,
although Mr. Plummer thinks that it
is just as nutritious as the day it was
put there. "H e re is an example,’ ’ said
Mr. Plummer, " o f the stoekgrower
who always ha* plenty of feed and a
little to spare for emergencies. Mr.
Young remembers watching his grand­
father put this identical hay into the
barn. During the years it has been
there it ha» settled and packed until
the 60 tons are now almost one »olid
bale."
While at Yonealla Mr. Plummer in
vent iga ted the cinnabar mine and
the smelter which extracts the quick­
silver. Here he found in use a water
damper whieh conserves fuel until it
requires only about a fourth of that
formerly used, but the saviug of fuel
was not the object o f the inventor of
the damper. The quick is saved from
the ore by burning the ore until it
passes away in smoko, the smoke and
fumes being carried through a long
line of pipe, thua allowing the quick to
congeal and drop out of the fumes. A
large amount or the qnick is lost by
passing out of the smokestack with
the smoke. The water damper is for
the purpose of causing all the smoke
and fumes to be consumed. This it
does and it is said that a person may
breathe the air which leaves the smoke­
stack witkont the least danger, while
smote soBtaiatag quicksilver fume» is
deadly. Many who investigated the
use of the damper thought that some
underground means must be used for
carrying o ff the smoke bnt when the
damper, the construction of which
costs not over a dollar or so and can
be manufactured by anyone in a few
moments, was torn out, the smoke
emerged in cloods.
To make another news item, Mr.
Plummer was one o f the principal fig ­
ures in an automobile aeeident on his
trip from here to Eugene but he had
things so arranged that he met with
only minor injuries. In the ear with
him was County Agent Whitney, a
man of exceedingly rotund avoirdupois,
which fact probably saved their ear
from being thrown into the ditch.

the record for putting " b e e f " onto
hens. He sold three Buff Orpingtons
