Corvallis Times Official County Pape. 4 CORVALLIS, OREGON, 'RIDAY EVENING, MAY 24,907 FIVE HUNDRED RAISED. llCreat Prospects for the Coming Live- - 1. Cl Montr Prtat flfforprl The general committee is busy :3n the preparations of the big live stock show that is to be held in Corvallis June 7th and 8th Five lmndred dollars has been raised to be given in prizes, and it is ex pected to bring to town on the days mentioned all the fancy stock in "the county. It is also expected that exhibits from other connties "will participate in some of the ya Hious classes in which competition is open. It was originally planned to make the exhibits include poul try' but fanciers declared the sea son inappropriate for a display of birds and that feature was elimin ated. The entries will according ly be for horses, cattle, sheep and hogs. The exhibit of sheep and hogs will be in pens, and for this purpose permission of the city council has been secured for use in one of the . side streets, perhaps along that section of thoroughfare extending from the postoffice to the City Hall. Full two days will Tie required for the program, and the list is becoming so extended that the committee even fears that the period will not be sufficient for their purposes. Assurances already received indicate that owners of torses, cattle, sheep and swine in all parts of the county are becom ing interested in the show, and there is not a bit of doubt that the successful horse show of last year will dwindle into insignificance compared to the event for which the committee is now preparing. .A full list of the prizes offered will appear within a few days. DROP IN CATTLE PRICES. Quoted as Low as Four and a Quarter in Portland Market A drop in the price of beef is bad news for stock men. The Port land market tumbled a few days ago from five and five and a quar ter to four and ahalf. and followed it up yesterday by dropping from four and a half to four and a quar ter. The high prices caught the notice of California stockmen and a considerable number of cattle were shipped from that state. It is also stated that many Oregon cattle were hurried to market while yet in poor condition and that this became a factor in the drop. At present prices no more California cattle - will be imported. It is estimated tnat tnere is 500 head of beef cattle m Benton Coun ty about ready for shipment. New Theatrical Attraction. In ' 'The Bogus Prince' ' which is to appear at the Opera House next Wednesday, May 29, we have a musical comedy treat. All the way out from New York this com edy has been a laughing success The piece itself is a satire on the social climber, who would resort to any means to become a social leader. - Wm. Kobmson, tne star come dian of the company, has the " part of a supposed African potentate, who is exploited by Madam Astor- bilt, and the scene following the sudden rise of the humble negro to a position of brilliance, furnishes many opportunities for bright comedy. The chorus is one- of the most captivating, beautifully gowned and clever dancers that have ever vis ited . this city, and their winning ways are bound to make a hit. L L.

University of Oregon and 0. Track Meet This After-. A. C. noon. The annual track and field meet between O. A. C. and the Univer sity of Oiegon teams occurs on col lege field this afternoon. It is gen erally conceded that the state uni versity men will have the best of the argument, and the spirit of the contest is centered mainly in how small or how large the margin will be between the two scores. Pub lished articles in the metropolitan newspapers say the university ath letes expect all the places in the weights, two places in the sprints, good places in the quarter, half and mile, all the places . in the broad jump, the best places in the hur dles, and first and third in the pole vault. In the latter event there will be conaiderable interest be cause Claud Swan, the O. A. C. vaulter and Muellen the university man in that event are very evenly matched. In two indoor meets Swan has defeated Muellen and the latter has once- turned the trick on Swan in outdoor meets. The 0. A. C. men figure that Wolff, the valiant freshman will take a place in the shotput, and that Hall will take a good place in the hammer, tb at Bennett will be heard from in the discussion of the discus, - that Schroeder will give Moores a run for his money for second place in the 109 yard dash and 220, and that m some events the U. A. C. men will give an excellent account of themselves. The meet begins at 15. " Roy Heater, the well known athlete and trainer will be the starter.
