THE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDA.Y, NOVEMBER 21, 1902.
TO WORK FOR 1904
Livestock Men to Go After
National Convention.
SIX DELEGATES WILL BE SENT
Good Showing Will Be Made at Kfin
sas City Meeting In January State
AsHoclntiqn Favors More Liberal
Premiums nt State Fair.
Delegates to the National Livestock
Convention, to be held at Kansas City In
January, were elected yesterday at the
special meeting of the Oregon Livestock
Breeders' Association, which was held
In the office of M. D. "Wisdom, in the
Hamilton building. D. H. Looney, Dr.
James Withy combe, W. J. Townley, E.
S. "Waterman. H. West and Richard
Scott are the six delegates that will
represent the association, but a vigor
ous effort will be made by the members
to stir up enthusiasm in the excursion that
the Board of Trade and other business
organizations of the city are planning for
that time. A combined effort wfll be
made to bring the 1904 convention to Port
land. "The agricultural and mineral re
sources of Oregon have been advertised
through the East, but as yet there has
been no effort made to show up the great
possibilities in the livestock industry,"
was the general expression of the dele
gates. They believe that Oregon can
make a great showing in livestock, and
resolved to put forth every effort to ad
vertise the great possibilities of the state
In this line. Their first effort, however,
will be to Induce the establishment of a
large packing Industry In the state. Th
lack of market, they say. is the on
drawback to the raising of livesto

Committees were appointed as follows:
Committee on revision of premium list.

Henry West, E. S. Watterman and Rich

Transportation Dr. Withycombe, Frank
Brown, Richard Scott, William Ladd, M.

W. O. Minor, J. G. Edwards and C B.
Wade.
Legislative committee Charles Cleve
land. George Chandler and D. H. Looney.
Xeed Packing Industry.
Among the prominent industrial work
ers present was Dr. James Withycombe,
of Corvallls.
"If this state has anything," said he,
"It certainly possesses advantages that
are conducive to the perfect growing of
livestock. We have the feed, climate
and all conditions that are necessary.
There is one serious problem, however,
that confronts the growers, and that is
the question of a market. This is due
to the fact that we have no adequate
packing facilities. A mammoth plant
should be established in Portland, so that
all of the stock that could be shipped in
here could be handled. There is no lack
of a market for the products. Oregon
Imports pork products from othr sec
tions, and yet it is an easy thing to flood
the market with live hogs.
"I Avould also like to urge the necessity
of making a good exhibit at the Interna
tional Livestock Convention, that will be
held in Chicago in 1903. Oregon is well
suited for the production of first-class
breeding stock, which could well invade
the Eastern market. The Chicago fair is
one of the greatest livestock exhibitions
In the world, and we should have a rep
resentative shipment there at that time.
An an example, I would cite the !ong
fooled sheep that can be raised in Ore
gon. No place in the world, not even
Canada, can equal us In this product.
Oregon has all of the conditions con
ducive to their best growth."
Liberal Premiums for State Fair.
The afternoon session was given most
ly to committee work. The committee on
.premium rates for the State Fair, how
ever, was the only one, to make a report
There seemed to be some misunderstand
ing as to the time of meeting, and a
number of delegates attended in the af
ternoon, thinking that was the time for
the, regular meeting. The only important
step at the afternoon session was in re
gard to the premium rates. The delegates
thought that If there were more liberal
premiums offered at the State Fair it
would act as a stimulus to induce
a greater effort in the raising of fine
"breeding stock. A motion by D. H.
Looney, seconded by William Ladd, ask
ing the State Legislature to make a larger
appropriation to be used in increasing the
premiums for livestock at the State Fair,
was carried.
The report of the committee on re
vision of the premium list at, the State
Fair advised some changes that some
classes be added to the lst and that some
of the premiums be increased.
On cattle of all breeds the old. list of
1902 was adopted, but the following ad
ditions were made:
Milch cows, 2 years or under, any breed,
"bred and owned by exhibitor.
On sheep there was no change in the
classes, but a larger premium was asked
on each breed.
On swine one class was added to the
1902 list: Boar, any age. with four of his
get. not to exceed IS months of age. to be
bred and owned by exhibitor. It was alsp
recommended to make a general increase
of 25 per cent on hogs.
TREES COME FROM EAST
Orchardists Who Do Xot Patronize
Home Industry.
The fact that young fruit trees are
being imported into this state in large'
numbers from the East Is a source of
sorrow to orchardists. who fear the in
troduction of new pests in this -way.
Colonel H. E. Dosch says that within
the past week or two 50 boxes of these
Eastern fruit trees have arrived here.
A short time ago a lot of apple trees
from Iowa arrived. They were found
to be literally covered with the woolly
aphis, and they were ordered burned by
R. H. Webber, Commissioner for the
Fourth District. Just how to account for
this importation of trees which should,
be raised here Colonel Dosch did not
know, and' he could not Imagine what
local nurserymen were thinking' of. to
render this possible. If the trees arriv
ing were special varieties, there might
be some excuse for Importing them, but
they were only the ordinary kinds grown
here. Mr. Dosch has been away so much
of late years that he has lost the run of
the nursery business in this state, bujf
he thinks all the fruit trees needed should
be grown here, and that all orchardists
should bo patriotic enough to patronize
home Industry.
A dealer in seeds, trees, etc., when
asked for information, stated that there
are very few young fruit trees in this
state at present. During the hard times
of several years past, nurserymen lost so
much money that many of them went out
of- business, and those still in the busi
ness have let their stocks run down. The
scarcity of young trees and the', high
prices asked for them are what has
caused so many trees to be imported.
Cherry trees are especially scarce, and
are held at $25 to $30 per 100 for one-year-old
trees, and nurserymen cannot Jill or
ders. Seiitert Bros., of The Dalles, have
already bought CO0O young cherry trees,
and want G00O more, all of the Royal Anne
species. It Is supposed that they must be
going to turn their salmon canneryXinto
a cherry cannery, some day.
7BWOMEN IN CONVENTIO
IT
Xotables Will Conduct One on Par
liamentary Principles.
Portland is to see a great convention
of the notables of America very shortly.
The Portland clubwomen have made all
the arrangements, and the fourth annual
convention of the National Reform As
sociation will be held in the chapel , of the
Unitarian Church, corner Seventh and
Yamhill streets, on Saturday evening at
7:45 o'clock.
Those who will serve as officers are:
Mrs. Lillian Cole-Bethel president; Miss
Nellie Bly, secretary, and Mrs. John D.
Rockefeller, treasurer. "
Among the notable delegates to be pres
ent are: Mrs. Potter Palmer, of Chicago;
Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, of Washington,
D. C.; Mrs. Grover Cleveland, of Prince
ton, N. J.; Mrs. Benjamin Harrison, " of
Indianapolis; Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleve
land: Mrs. Abigail Scott Dunlway, of
Oregon; Mrs. Helen Henrotln; the Hon.
David B.' Hill; Senator Henry M. Teller,

Bryan, of Nebraska: Semantha Allen, of
Jonesville; Mary Lease, of Kansas; Mrs.
Phil Armour, Belva Loekwood, Mrs. John

convention adjourns.
The address of welcome will be given
by Mrs. Geer, and the response" will be
by Mrs. Palmer. Those who wish to see
a woman's convention conducted on strict
ly parliamentary principles will do well
to visit this convention while it is In ses
sion. While some of the famous members
will be present only by proxy, there wlllj
be a sufficient sprinkling of . the genuln
to keep up the show.
TO SELECT CLARK'S S WORD
Testimonial
Today
Committee Will Meet
to Choo.'ie Design.
The Admiral Clark testimonial com
mittee' will meet today at the United
States National Bank to select the design
for the sword to be presented to Admiral
Clark, of the battle-ship Oregon. A meet
ing was set for Wednesday, but as too
few designs had been received, the matter
was deferred. The three designs submit
ted are all extremely beautiful, and the
committee will probably have to do some
hard thinking before the most appropri
ate and tasteful design Is selected.
'Much to the joy of Colonel R. W. Mitch
ell, a few more subscriptions are coming
In at the last moment. Two. prominent
citizens of Prinevllle, who attended the. Ir
rigation Convention, called on him yes
terday and promised $100 from their town.
"If all the towns of the state would do
as well," said the Colonel yesterday, "we
would soon have sufficient funds to order
the sword. Baker City, La Grande, The
Dalles and Pendleton have not yet done
their share. It is very probable that Ad
miral Clark will come out here to receive
the sword, a patriotic testimonial which
has so long been neglected by the people
of Oregon."
GAMBLERS WIN TEST CASE
JURY ACaUITS 3IEN ARRESTED IX
PORTLAND CLUB.
Defense Admits' That Keno "Was
Played for Drinks and Cigars to
Help Out Business.
A. recent .gaming contest at the Port
land Club, Fifth and Alder streets, for
drinks or cigars, or other representatives
of value, was inquired into yesterday by a
jury sitting in the Municipal Court. It
was a test case. The exact charges against
the defendants, James Brown, Ed, Beyer,
Mel Long, A. R. Lamb and Frank Fletch-
Ker, was that they "did engage in and play
iin and at and oet at and upon a game
canea Keno, men ana mere wnn cards
with, certain numbers thereon, and wood
en balls with numbers thereon, and ta
mes and other devices; sal .game
being then and there played for money,
checks, credits, and other representatives
of value." It was admitted that the de
fendants played and took chances In win
ning drinks or cigars. The jury, after
four minutes' consideration, returned a
verdict of not guilty.
Considerable trouble was experienced in
getting a jury. Henry McCraken, who
was called as a juror, sta'ted, in part: "I
do not. believe in the policy of the present
administration. I am in favor of a wide
open town, because I feel it Is best for
the town." He was xcused. Herman
Wittenberg, who was also excused, stated:
"I want to see every law and every ordi
nance enforced to the letter, without re
spect to favor. If we have bad laws, I
wish them repealed." Ultimately these
jurors were accepted: L. P. Beno, W. R.
Ro'blnson. J. B. Coffee, F. S. BakeV and
William Breen. The prosecution was "con
ducted by Deputy City Attorney Fitzger
ald, who cleverly illustrated to the jury
how keno was played, in such a manner
as to cause former gamblers In the court-,,
room to look at nun with marked respect.
Henry E. McGinn appeared for the de
fendants. The first witness called was Police
Sergeant Church, who testified: "Novem
ber 7, Policeman Carpenter and I went to
the Portland Club, about 9 o'clock in the
evening, and found these five defendants
playing keno. Mel Long was dealing, and
the others were playing with checks for
trade. Each check was purchased from
he cashier for 10 cents, and the winner.
as I understand it, got the checks re
deemed for drinks or cigars, downstairs
in the saloon. There was $4 0 in money
on the gaming table," and we took it, along
with the keno outfit, for evidence."
"Did you see any money change hands
on that occasion?" asked Mr. McGinn.
"I did not. They would not change
money, while I was there," and several
jurymen smiled. Policeman Carpenter
corroborated.
"This Is a test case," frankly admitted
the only witness for the defense, Peter
Grant, manager of the Portland Club.
"On the night before the raid we were
playing with checks for drinks or cigars,
and the police came In and told us to
stop, and we did stop. I thought about
tho matter, and did not see why we should
not have something of the sort to help
trade, just the "same as a cigar dealer has
a nlckel-in-the-slot machine to help him
sell clgaVs. I know one cigar dealer who
says that It means $50 more per day to
him to have these machines In his store.
Well, we determined to make a test case
of it, by having a keno game for trade
only. Then the police came the second
time, and made the arrests, but I was
not present on that occasion. Each check
costs 10 cents, and the man who wins gets
value in drinks or cigars not in money.
One check is worth one glass of beer.
The house does not make a percentage.
It Is almost the same as the nickel-ln-the-
WALKING ROUND THE WORLD.
B. H. CARTER, OF LOXDOX.

and who. arrived In Portland Tuesday on foot from Tacoma, left for San Fran
cisco yesterday.
slot machine It is a ' pastime, and gives
cheap amusement."
"Suppose 100 men were playing who had
paid 10 cents each, and suppose .one man
won the pot; would you be willing to
give him money In exchange, at a reduc
tion, if a trade could be arranged?" asked
Mr. Fitzgerald. '
"I have not done that so far, but I don't
know what I may dp in the future, as a
business proposition," replied the wit
ness, calmly.
Mr. Fitzgerald argued that the defend
ants had violated the ordinance, and were
guilty of gambling. He cited numerous
decisions from other state cases, in sup
port of his contention, and asked thejury
to remember that they swore to try the
case on the facts and the evidence. Mr.
McGinn retorted that the opposing lawyer
was not sincere in his statements, and
that Mr. Fitzgerald's affected zeal was
not real.
"Public sentiment is not behind this sort
of prosecution It Is time to quit," went on
Mr. McGinn. "If this Is the law as my
learned friend Interprets It, I will willing
ly leave the' city. I never gambled in
my life, and I dejfy my friend to prove It."
Mr. Fitzgerald replied: 'T am in ear
nest. My desire Is to see the law en
forced. It distresses me to see good men
come Into this court and take oaths to
try cases according to the law and the
evidence, and then go back on these same
oaths."
MR. SHIELDS GOES EAST
Will Secure ' Attractions for Xext
Summer's Amusements.
Edward Shields, whose new card reads
"Proprietor Shields' Park, Portland, Or.,
and Director-General Shields' Northwest
Park Circuit," left last night for Chicago
and the East, accompanied by Mrs.
Shields. He will be absent about six
weeks,, and "will visit Washington, New
York and other. Eastern cities. Mr.
Shields has been the star lecturer for the
Chicago Dally News In the schools for
several Winters, and was in receipt of
an urgent letter only yesterday from that
paper, asking him to be on hand for the
coming lecture course.
In speaking of his trip last night to an
Oregonlan representative, he said:
"I have resided In the East so long that
I feel as If I must keep up my acquaint
ance there, although I Intend to make
Portland my future home. I have lec
tured in the Chicago schools for the Dally
News for several Winters. Heretofore I
gave illustrated talks on 'A Trip Across
the Continent' and 'The Life of McKln
ley,' but this time I will Illustrate 'Where
Rolls the Oregon' as a forerunner for the
1905 Fair. Mr. Welster is making the
slides for me.
"My real object, however. In going East
at the present time Is to book attractions
for my Summer parks. It is hard to in
duce Eastern performers, to come 'way
out to the Pacific Coast, but I shall be
in position to offer them 20 weeks, and
the people of Portland williave'a chance
to see fine talent next Summer at Shields'
Park. Nothing will be too good or ex
pensive for my patrons."
Before Mr. Shields came West last
Spring he was slated as manager for a
new stock theater In Louisville, but -his
ventures here proved so successful that
he sent in his resignation some time ago.
Mrs. Shields, who Is professionally
known as Helen Lamar, will Introduce
over the Eastern vaudeville circuits "Her
Last Letter." the beautiful transformation
act that made such a pleasing hit at
Shields' Park last Summer.
An Interesting member of the Shields
company to depart was Miss Lamar's big
Irish setter. Flirt Is her dogshlp's name.
and this will be her eighth round-up be
tween Portland and Chicago. She has
been in 37 different states, has taken first
prize In two of the big dog shows in Chi
cago, and is known as the dog model. Hav

Several years ago Flirt cut quite a figure
in a play In which Miss Lamar took part,
but she disgraced herself one night ;ln
Denver. The" second act of the play
opened with Miss Lamar, a little girl
and Flirt. At a certain time Flirt would
go to the window and look out to yrt
her master was coming, which ajpFiysj,
made a" blpr hit. This nltrht in DenJSrRhai

w"as not in good repair, and every time
the curtain went up it made a squeaky
noise like a carnival squawker.
Flirt was very much annoyed with 'this
state of affairs, and looked up In an in-
kuirlng manner. A gallery god added fuel
to the flame by yelling "Cats!" Flirt
was wild with rage, and it was all off
when another under-roof auditor cried
"Sick 'em!" The dog cleared the foot
lights with a bound and landed on the
piano. In his hurried attempt to get out
of harm's way the musical director fell
off the stool and broke his glasses, and

only lasted for a moment, for Flirt seemed
to realize what a. fool she had made of
herself and sneaked back to her rug and
went on with: the scene and took up her
cue as if nothing had happened. She was
obliged to take a curtain-call at the end
of the act.
