Uanaxaltolcd triumphs arc coming to1 Oregon breed or s and Orogon exhib itors with evory hour of the live stock exhibition at the LqwIs and Clark Exposition. Awards in every de partment and nearly every class and sec tion are being taken by Oregon animals, sa4 question no longor exists as to the Mate's future in the llvostock Industry. "When the exhibition opened visiting vtockmen generally expressed themsolves 3L8 surprised at the showing made by local eoghtMlors and breeders. But not until tke work of the judges began was the 4sa'f real strength developed. Against ntrong competition the list of awards has pHc4 up for local men in the important classes represented. Especially is this true of Shorthorns, Holstelns. Jerseys. Hereford, Aberdeen Angus and other im portant breeds of cattle, as well as in fine breeds of horses, swine, sheep and goats. Triumph of Local Exhibitors. Th" progress of placing awards, as printed complete each morning by The Oregoatan. already shows beyond any doubt that the triumph of local exhibitors and breeders will be the feature of tho exhibition. From all parts of the state the prizewinners come, and their animal? are pitted against tho select from recog nized livestock centers throughout Minne sota, Iowa, Nebraska. Missouri and Indi ana. Soon states as California, Washing ton, Montana. Idaho and "Wyoming ore fttttngty represented, and thero are many hundreds of fine animals from British Columbia. The real extent of Oregon's victories will not bo known until the Judges are entirely through with their work hut the results thus far, with a big TXMtJorlty of the Judging complete, can lead to but one result. The judges expect to get through this evening, a day oarlier than scheduled. Public Auction Held. Yesterday's work of judging brought naay awards into local hands. Judges in all departments wore in the field until the middle of the afternoon when there -was a public auction of Shorthorns and Hereford k. This auction proved success ful in the highest degree. The sales wore Mostly on Shorthorns. Thirty-one regis tered animals were disposed of at an average price of J1S2.22 an animal. Sev eral of the finor Shorthorns were pur chased by C. B. Ladd, of Portland, for the North Yamhill farms whence many f the victorious Shorthorns, individual animals and herds, have proceeded. The highest price paid for one animal at yesterday's auction was ?500, for a Short horn bull sold by A. J. Splawm, of North Yakima, Wash., to J. H. Glide & Son. of Sacramento. V Bis Price for Heifers. ' An interesting incident tending to show the oompeUtion for the ownership of good Shorthorns was the sale of a fine two-year-old heifer. The auctioneer talked himself hoarse in getting the bids raised from 350 to JS5. He was about to sell at that figure when C. E. Clarke, of St. Cloud. Minn., took a fancy to tho animal and offered Someone in the assem blage promptly bid tSa. Mr. Clarko bid back and then bids come thick and fast. In less time than It takes to tell about it the bids had passed the $300 mark. Mr. Clarke finally outbid all competitors hut he had to pay M25 for the animal. Yesterday's awards brought many rib bons Into local hands In all classes. One of the signal triumphs of local men was la the large Yorkshire swine competition. Animals entered by Richard Scott, of Mil waukee, Or., carried first prizes in every section. Only a few scattering awards were taken by the competing drove, ex hibited by H. M. Vasey, of Ladner, B. C. In the judging of sheep, Mr. Scott and other local breeders kept well in the van, and returns in this Important division, which will probably be made today, prom ise to add some dozens of awards to Ore gon's list. In tho Chester White swine class a clean sweep was made by Ed School, of Albany, Or., with mo competi tion. Horses and Cattle, Local horses, too, showed up well. In the Clydesdale class, senior and reserve senior championship and grand champion ship were awarded to animals entered by J D. Gordon, of Dundee. Or. In tho cattle department, Richard Wilson, of Portland, and Louis Baumifnn, of Butteville. Or., divided the prizes between them, the for mer taking all the firsts pn individual ani mals and on young herds, and Mr. Bau mann taking the seconds on individual animals and firsts on three out of four herds. In the class for Jerseys a major ity of the awards was taken by the W. S. Ladd estate, of Portland. Mrs. William Honeyxnan, of Portland, took all awards for Ayrshire;, with no competition.

Aberdeen Angus, bulls 8 years or over First prize won by He ward Darby, exhibited KEEN CONTESTS IN SHEEP, GOATS, SWINE Wilkinson Flock of Southdowns Defeat Idd's While Thropshires of Latter Win Recognition. NOT having acquired tho art of being in two places tit the same time, by following the cattle judging closely I missed the judging of the goats and of the Southdown and Shropshire sheep. Meeting Mr, Stump of Monmouth, I asked him who had carried off the best of the prizes in goats. Pulling a handful of blue and rod ribbons out of his pocket, he smiled as he said: "Hare are some of thorn." There are but eight goats in his exhibit, so the average of winnings must be higit. Two bucks are shown by him, and the rent are their produce, demon strating the results of a good choico of sires. In the exhibit of Craig Bros, are eight animals, all by one sire. In R L Naylor's 19 three sires have been used, two for six each and one for four. So one goes through the list Size and weight are not officially given, but the exhibits, ono and all. gave the impression of high and probably in-breedlng. resulting in fineness and delicacy In every example shown, but small size, and slenderness of frame and limbs. If there is anything in thfs criti cism, two remedies have been used in the case of other domestic animals. The first Is to go back to the place of origin and obtain a fresh start. The second is to use a larger and coarser sire for one cross, regardless of purity of breed, and thon by a succession of generations eliminate the coarseness. An instance occurs to me as I write. Some years ago, in England, greyhounds had been bred for points and fineness until strength and stamina were being lost. One bold man crossed his greyhound with a bulldog, of the largo variety then common. In four genera tions tho trace of bulldog had disappeared but the greyhounds had gained the dopth of chest, strength of limb, courage and hardiness which was the bequest of tho bulldog progenitor.

I have the Idea of going back to Syria or Asia Minor, whence. I believe, the Angoras were taken to the various countries in which they are now raised. Having read the Consular reports for many years. I am sure that we neglect I the chance of getting original Information at first hand. In reference to multitudes ' of objects such as this. Those reports i are to be had for the asking, from Wash j ington, D. C. and I know that the Con 1 suis take pleasure in answering Inquiries ' on topics within their sphere of residence. Even if it be the case that larger and . better goats are raised in South Africa ! than in Asiatic Turkey, still, for the pur , pose named, I should prefer their orlg- inal ItabitaL ! Not far from the goats are the South down sheep, over which there was a bat tle royal beteween the C. E. Ladd flock, ! from North Yamhill, and I. T. & I. H. Wilkinson, the Canadian breeders, from j Chilliwack. B. C. To this hangs a tale. ; Both flocks are of marked excellence, and : claim championship honors. The present t Is not their first meeting. A year or two i ago thore was a show In Canada, Suppos ' lng that he would swep the board wlth j out an offort. Mr. Wilkinson sent in some j sheep, without special care or prepara tion. When the catalogue appeared the j Ladd flock was there in full force. At , show time tho Oregon flock carried off , the honors, and our Canadian friends took I a back scat as gracefully as they coukL J When the Lewis and Clark show was an j nounced there was a groat shaking of dry bones. Back to the old country sped Mr. Wilkinson, and got tho pick of the Ionas flock of Southdowns from Babra ham Hall, in Cambridgeshire, where the breed has been kept in Its purity, but carefully studied, for CO years at least. Results arc before us. Equally astute, tho Ladd people also get across the ocean and buy the choicest of the Chi chester flock, near by the Southdowns. where these sheep have lived and thriven for a century and more.

The good shepherd lives, eats, sleeps with his sheep. So Mr. Wilkinson has built for himself a bed. stretched over the back part of the pen In which his pet twin lambs, not yet 6 months old. wore sheltered. There they huddle togeth er, unnoticed by most of the passers-by. Not by the Judges, for one of the little ones was chosen for first honors In her class. Not so large; by a good deal, as her Ladd competitors, but a Southdown to the Up of her curly gray nose.

Dockarty, In charge of the Navajo Indian exhibit In the Manufactures" building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, yesterday afternoon filed ah affidavit with the Oregon State Commission alleging graft and attempted graft on the part of H. B. Hardt, asls tant In the Division of Exhibits. Dock arty charges that Hardt at tho St, Louis Fair tried to induce Dockarty to enter a scheme and combination to get hold of a number of exhibit spaces for re-asslgn-xnent; that at the Lewis and Clark Ex position Hardt received $100 for allotting space to an exhibitor In the Manufactures' building: and that he wanted him. Dock. arty, to enter into a proposition to de fraud exhibitors In the matter of making awards. President Myers will present the affi davit before the Oregon State Commis sion, which meets this afternoon at the Exporftlon. President Myers says that Dockarty had several times come to him with complaints against Hardt. and that he had finally requested that he make an affidavit of the charges. Mr. Hardt says he is going to make Dockarty prove the charges. He says all the allegations mado by Dockarty are malicious falsehood?; and that he can prove his absolute Innocence. Mr. Hardt says the charges were made out of spite, as he had had a little difficulty with Dockarty before the opening of the Ex position. He says Dockarty. who was employed In the Division of Exhibits as a draftsman. Imposed upon a contractor at the Exposition, and that he put. a stop to it- Since thon he says "Dockarty has had It In for him," Woman's Club Reception. The Woman's Club, of Portland, gave a delightful reception last night In the Ore gon building nt the Lewis and Clark Ex position to the hosts and hostesses of the Fair. It lasted from S o'clock until 10:30 o'clock. Several hundred guests attended the reception. that the super-excellent animals we see at this show should no longer be looked at as rarities, but dispersed over the en tire district. Then Indeed thero will be less excuse even than now for sending all this most excellent mnterlnl 30OD miles to be worked up. Oregon sheep. Oregon wool. Oregon mills, Oregon-made cloth ing, and Oregon-sold clothing and woolen goods generally. Why not? The first steps have been taken. the first experi ments made, the first mills built. And it Is the first step that costs. Just a word on swine. Some one has said that no Oregon hog, fed on milk, forage plants, and some shorts, can com pete with the corn-fed hogs of the corn belt. Surely the corn-fed hogs could not. as o class, be any larger. Some of these found their pens too short for them, and the only want they had was more room to stretch their feet. Their noses lay against the other wall, and they snored night and day. I never appreciated the "don't-be-a-hog" rebuke before. What kind of a soul must be reincarnated in these masses of living grunting flesh and fat! Ladd Bcrkshires Win. In Berkshire the W. 8. Ladd estate car ried off the honors. In the Poland Chinas, which are a shado less obese and un wieldly, the Hazolwood Company, of Spo kane, and C. H. Murphy, of Minnesota, divided the exhibits. Tho Chester Whites also, many of them were from Missouri. One could credit them with one degree more Intelligence than their pen-neighbors. If a law were passed forbidding hogs to live when they weighed over 230 pounds. I fancy hams and bacon would be more acceptable diet, and the hogs would be better to look at In any event. But, Judged by the standard of so much flesh put on to so much food swallowed, no doubt the hog Is a very good money maker "always money In ogs" as the English farmer says. WALLIS NASH. SIB MECHTIHI.DE JEWEL, FIRST PRIZE MAKESTWD FLIGHTS Aeronaut Beachey Successful Both Times. BEST VOYAGES IN THE AIR Airship City of Portland Is Used on Both Occasions and Despite the Wind Jfavigatlon of Atmos phere Is Made. ADMISSIONS, 24,463. The attendance at the Fair yester day according to- the records of the turnstiles was 24.462. Two entirely sncceftJfuI nights .wexo made at the Lewis and Clark Exposition yesterday morning by the City of Port land with Lincoln Beachey, the 18-yenr-old boy aeronaut, at the helm. It was in. tended ih& Beachey should make another attempt to sail to the Vancouver Bar racks with a message and return to ihe Exposition grounds, but as a heavy wlcd was blowing- It was thought advhvible not to make an extensive flight. At a few minutes after 10 o'clock the City of Portland was cast loose from Its moorings, and rose rapidly to a height of nearly 200 feet. Here Beachey encount ered a very strong current of wind, and he pointed the airship downward, until the anchor rope was almost dragging along the ground. The wind was blowing from tho North, but he made rapid head way against It. croslng Guild's Lake with out difficulty. The airship was so near the ground that to gq over the Government building Beachey had to ascend sovoral score of feet, or otherwise it would hae collided with the roof of the structure He sailed around the Government building a couple of times, and then returned to the start ing point, landing very grac-ifully within a few feetof tho trestles. After remaining on the grsund for five minutes, the airship was again loosened, and Beachey again sailed over the Gov ernment building. He returned by a cir cuitous route, hovering a few minutes over the Trail and the Lakevlcv Terrace, alighting without the least difficulty. Be cause of the heavy wind blowing, which was not less than ten miles an hour, the flights yesterday "morning are considered to have been the best ever made at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, which n.eans the whole world. Both the gasbai; and the framework of the City of Portland were used by Beachey yesterday room ing in the two flights. The next flight will be made Tuesday morning when Beachey will endeavor to carry a message to the Orgenlan. He will leave the Exposition grounds at out 11 o'clock in the morning, with tho Cre gonlan building as his destination. He Intends to circle the tower roveral 'inc and before departing for the Exposition, drop a message on the roof of the build ing. The City of Portland will make two flights on Portland day, one In the inoin lng and the other In the afternoon. OREGON BREEDERS ENTERTAIN THE VISITORS. Toasts and Responses Are Given at the Gathering Held at the American Inn. More than ICO stockmen In Portland at tending the livestock show at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, sat down to an ela borate banquet at the American Inn last night. It was given by the Oregon Live stock Breeders to the visiting stockmen. It was one of the most representative gatherings of stockmen ever brought to gether In the West. The banquet was marked by good cheer and enthusiasm, all present having a thor- ouhsrlv enjoyable time, a good deal of enthusiasm being displayed when the toasts were responded too. Dr. James Wlthycombe presided as toostmoster, and opened the speaking with a few Introduc tory remarks. The addresses were combined largely to the livestock Industry, many of the speak ers predicting a great future for the Northwest In this respecL All of the ad dresses were very Interesting, and many of them were replete with witty and bright remarks. The toasts responded to follow: "An Exhibitor's Troubles and How to Enjoy Them." A. J. Splawn; "The Live stock Industry of California," Professor E. W. Major; "Stock Breeding From a Banker's Viewpoint," William M. Ladd: "Experiences of a Pioneer In the Show Arena," J. L. Smith; "The Livestock In dustry of the Nation," Director C. F.

Tho banquet was Informal in nature, but nevertheless was a very delightful af fair, It began at 8 o'clock and did not end until nearly midnight. The dining room was lavishly and beautifully dec orated with flowers and evergreens. The tables looked exceptionally pretty, be !& banked will? roses and green rices. BANQUET 2-YEAR-OLD HOLSTEIN BULL. A very excellent menu was served. Music was furnished by Weber's Orchestra, pierce county: day todax Elaborate Programme Proposed at the Washington State Building. The charming hostesses from Tacorca, who are presiding this wek at the Wash ington building, gave another delightful reception yesterday afternoon. It was ax tended by hundreds, the parlors being thrcnged with guests all during the after noon. Over 10CO of the beautiful Tacoma souvenirs were distributed anions tho call ers, as were large quantities o tlo-nfra from Point Defiance Park, Tacoma. One of the things that attracted the tt tentlon of the visitors to the Washington building yesterday afternoon was a huge bouquet of flowers, which was placed at the head of the stairs. It was a gift to the Tacoma women from H. C. Bowers, manager of the Hotel Portland. Nearly all of the Tacoma women are at the Hotel Portland, and In this way became ac quainted with Mr. Bowers. Today is Pierce County day at the Washington building, tor which a pleasing programme) has been arranged. There will be music, refreshments will be served, and many souvenirs distributed to the visitors.

TURN OVER TIME When Nature Hints About the Food, When there's no relish to any food and all that one eats doesn't seem to do any good, then is the time to make a turn over In the diet, for that's Na ture's way of dropping- a hint that the food isn't the kind required. "For aT number of years I followed railroad work, much of It being office work of a trying nature. Meal times were our busiest and eating too much and too quickly of food such a3 is commonly served in hotels and res taurants; these, together with the sedentary habits, were not long in giving me dyspepsia and stomach trouble, which reduced ml weight, from 205 to 160 pounds. "There was little relish in any food and none of it seemed to do me any good. It seemed the more I ate tho poorer I got. and was always hungry before another meal, no matter how much I had eaten. "Then I commenced a fair jtrlal of Grape-Nuts and was surprised how a small saucer of it, would carry me along, strong and with satisfied appe tite, untilthe next meal, with no sen sations of hunger, weakness or dis tress as before. "I have been following this diet now for several months and my Improve ment has been so great all the others In my family have taken up the use of Grape-Nuts with complete satisfaction and much improvement in health and brain power. "American people undoubtedly " eat hurriedly, have lots of worry, thus hindering digestion and therefore need a fqod that is predlgested and con centrated In nourishment."
