(Continued From First Fare.) commanded higher prices than It waf ever possible to secure for stock pro duced In the old days before the scien tific breeder appeared on the scene. First Families in Stock World. At the big show now giving dally per formances, the farmer and stockman wilt find all of the first families of the live stock world represented. In the immense horse barns will be found all classes of equines. from the ponderous Percherons and Clydesdales to the clean-limbed, high-strung thoroughbreds. Rosa Bon heur won lasting fame with her won derful painting, "The H,orse Show," anJ there was fire and action In her master piece, but the horse show which Miss Uonhour painted was not much to look at compared with that which is now on un der the auspices of the Pacific National show, for hundreds of these equine stars are on exhibition daily, the single exhibit of one prominent breeder containing no less than 39 magnificent animals, nearly all of thorn prizewinners, not only In the West, but in the best horse shows that are held In other parts of the country. There is grace and beauty in every move ment of these splendid animals, and this wonderful exhibit at the horse bams alone is interesting enough to more than repay one for the trip out and the price of admission. In the cattle barn there is herd after " herd of the bluest blue blood to be found, and It embraces all classes. There are specialties In milkers and also for "beef," with plenty of the Intermediate classes, in which are found points of advantage both as milkers and for beef. There are calves just receiving the juvenile blue ribbon, yearllngsi 2-year-olds, and so on up to the old stagers, some of which have won medals, cups and ribbons at every big stock show in the country, for Oregon has produced world-beating cattle in a number of classes. Range Steer Has Passed Away. But among all of the hundreds of stalls there is no longer to be found anything bearing much resemblance to the old longhorns which in the early days of the stock industry waxed fat and got themselves ready for market on the bunch grass ranges of the Pa cific Northwest. The old range steer like his companion the old range cow boy has vanished from sight, and the modern production with little bone and muscle and plenty of beef meat, can not run fast enough to reduce, its weight or even afford a cowboy on foot sufficient exercise to keep him in good health. Sheep and Hogs on Display. But all of the interest in this show does not center around cattle and horses, and when the visitor becomes aweary of admiring this highest priced part of the exhibit, there can be found in other barns, hundreds of sheep and hogs, which, like the horses and cattle, were also "bred in the purple." Ex perts who have traveled the world over in the interest of their specialty wool and sheep declare that in no other part of the country Is everything so favorable for the breeding of high class sheep as In Oregon, and the ex hibits bear out the reputation that the state holds. The hog department is also of much interest at this time when some of the largest packing houses in the United States are arranging to make Portland their headquarters for the Pacific Coast. Speaking for myself I would rather gaze admiringly on horses than hogs, but there are others, for I noticed a party of Juveniles squealing with delight at "those dear little piggies." and a husky) young farmer who was gazing approvingly at a mammoth "tusker" confided to the lady on his arm that the aforesaid tusker was "a peach of a porker." A Journey through the miles of stalls under the roofs of the big barns does not complete the list of farm products here, for after the four-footed exhibits have passod Inspection there still re mains the. poultry show and. like every thing else In accordance with the ex hibition, this Is strictly first-class, both as to quantity and quality of the ex hibits. Kaces l"p to Grand Circuit Form. If the visitor to this 11,000,000 exhibit of livestock makes a fairly early start In the morning, the rounds of the stock pens can be made in good time for the racing programme, which starts at 1:30 P. M. The publio haa been pretty well advised that records are being broken on this wonderful track every day of the meeting, but to understand more fully the extremely high character of the racing it is only necessary to com pare the summaries of the Pacific Na tional races with those of the races in the same classes now being held on the grand circuit. This ultra-select as semblage of trotters and pacers are not only making grand-circuit time, but thry are making it so easily that it is not at all Improbable that before the end of the meet Portland may have the record for the fastest mile ever paced on a Pacific Coast track. The big show is entitled to the good patronage it received yesterday, and it ought to have similar support for the remainder of the week. It is deplor able Indeed that It was so shabbily treated Monday and Tuesday, but re gardless of the financial outcome of this, the Initial meeting, I know enough f the energy, public spirit and staying qualities of the men who have made it such a grand success as an exhibit of livestock, to predict with confidence that the second annual event will be an even greater success than the first. The Lewis and Clark Livestock Show gave the breeders of the Pacific North, west an Idea of what could be accom plished along these lines, and as a re sult of a visit to that stock show a Pennsylvania importer and breeder who has one of the largest exhibits at the Pacific National grounds, has become a resident of Portland, investing about 1200.000 here, and making this city. In stead of Pennsylvania, a distributing point for the high-class stock he im ports. Fostered and encouraged by such exhibitions, and by the success which has attended the breeders" auc tion sales, which have now become a regular feature of Portland's livestock ' ................. .. ............... ....1 I 1 I 1 VIEW OF GRANDSTAND AT COUNTRY CLUB ON PORTLAND DAY :. k?l ;1 !? ?

EXPERT IiArDS STOCK DISPLAY Portland Show Is Surprise to Judge From Canada. With reference to the cattle exhibit at the National Pacific Show. Professor W. J. Rutherford, of the Dominion Ex periment Station. Winnipeg, who Is acting as Judge of beef breeds of cat tle and dual purpose cattle, saia yes terday: The cattle show at the Paoiflc Na tional is one of great import to the Pacific Northwest. The breeders and fitters in charge of the cattle are of National and International repute and equally so are the cattle themselves. Oregon has made a great showing on former occasions, but probably never before has she turned out a finer dis play of cattle to contest for honors with those of her sister states Cali fornia, Washington and Idaho. Lovers of cattle of any class or almost any breed may find in the stables the ani mals of his particular choice. If he is a dairyman, or if he Is interested in the cows that produce milk, cream, butter and cheese for his table, he can feast his eyes upon a great number of the finest specimens of the different dairy breeds as ever came together In the Northwest. The Jerseys and Guernseys those family pets occupy a prominent place In the stables. One would have to travel far to find such another collection of working matrons, and the young things that are coming on bid fair to strip the laurels from their seniors. The Holsteins jthase great milk producers of Holland are represented by several herds that would do credit to any exhibition. The Ayrshlres the dairy cattle of old Scotland more than make up in qual ity what they lack in numbers. Two herds of Brown Swiss take their places along with the dairy breeds. The Red Polls of Eastern England represent a type of cattle useful for the production of both milk and a calf that will mature into a fairly good beef animal and are on this account called dual purpose cattle. Several herds of these cattle are on exhibition and have already been Judged. "Of the beef breeds, the Shorthorns far outnumber any of the others. Sev eral noted herds are here from Cali fornia, Oregon and Washington. The noted Glide herd contains a number of meritorious animals. The Minor herd has In it the celebrated bull. Golden Goods, as well as others good enough to show in any company. Frank Brown, of both St. Louis and Lewis and Clark fame, is here too, as well as a number of others. "Herefords of West England origin those rustiers that have made them selves famous on the Western ranches, are well represented, especially by Clagstone's well-fitted herd. Scotland, on the east, is represented by the "Doddles," Aberdeen Angus cattle, and on the west by the Galloways, the "Shaggy Blacks," noted for the produc tion of the famous "Blue-Gray" steers of the English market. Then there are the Devons from Southwestern; Eng land those beautiful blood-red cattle with the spreading Ivory-white horns tipped with black. Surely this is a sight worth seeing and one that a lover or even an admirer of good cattle can scarcely afford to miss. Most of the cattle have been judged, and the rib bons won decorate the winners." TO THE STOCK SHOW. Special trains will be run by the O.

A supplemental mortgage to secure an Issue of bonds approximating J100.000 was filed by the Portland Railway. Light Power Company yesterday with County Clerk Fields. Property of the company upon which the mortgage is a lien ap proximates J15.000.0u0 in value. The trans action is a legal detail resulting from the transfer of the various electrical prop erties of the Portland Railway Company to the Portland Railway. Light & Power Comtanv when the merger of the elec tric light, power and traction Interests in thts city was consolidated several years ago. The J100.000 secured by the "bond issue has been expended by the company during the past year for various Improvements about the city. JUDGES PICK PUT WINNERS PRIZE AXIMAIiS WIIIi BE SEEN IX PARADE. Bhie-Rlbbon Stock Will Tomorrow Pass In Review Before Grand stand at Country Club. Interest in the great livestock show and race meet of the Pacific National show received a decided Impetus yesterday and an immense crowd gathered to wit ness the various events. Stock judging continued throughout the day, and hun dreds of persons visited the barns where the premier stock of the West is on exhi bition. Exceptionally interesting events were offered yesterday, but the programme for the remainder of the week includes the best attractions of the meet. A repre sentative of the Salem commercial bodies called upon the managers of the Pacific National show yesterday and ' imparted the information that Salem buslnses men. 1000 strong, would visit the show tomor row. The sale of horses begins this morning at 9 o'clock. The Judging will be con cluded today and lists of winners In the various classes will immediately be an nounced. Portland established a National repu tation for high-class offerings and for fancy prices at the last combination live stock sale held here, in the Spring, but will, this morning and tomorrow morn ing, endeavor to add greater claim to eminence as a livestock emporium, in the Harvest combination sale, which is to be conducted by Colonel R. L. Harrl man, starting judge in the Country Club harness races. The entries in this sale, which includes only catalogued stock, consist of more than 100 head of draft and trotting bred horses and pure-bred cattle.

CLEVELAND, OF CEDAR GROVE FARM, GRESHAM, OR. farmers and small breeders of the Pa cific Northwest have never had a finer opportunity for replenishing their sta bles and herds than will be given them at the Country Club today and tomor row. Much of the . stuff offered Is of blue-ribbon and championship classes, both at the State Fair and the Pacific National show here. Among the offerings will be College Maid, the wonderful "guldeless pacer." who has twice lowered her record on the local track, other high-class harness horses and roadsters consigned by Kus-ter-Brwtn. Dr. A. DeFoe, I. D. Chap pelle, E. C. Kent, W. T. McBrlde and other breeders. The Glen Gordon Clydes dales, Ptallions and mares, will also be disposed of, as will the Asburner herd of milking strain shorthorns, W. O. Minor's shorthorns and some of the best selected stock of Herefords on the Coast. It was announced yesterday that the management of the National Pacific Show had extended Invitations to the teachers and pupils of all the public schools !n the city to attend the show Friday. They will be admitted free of charge, and it is believed that the display of stock will be of educational value to the students. There will be a great parade of prize-winning animals at 1 o'clock to morrow afternoon. All the animals that have won prizes will be paraded before the grandstand, and a more val uable collection of blooded animals has never been gathered on the Pa cific Coast. In the racing events yesterday, Col lege Maid, the guldeless pacer, low ered the record she made Monday. On that day she made a record of 2:08, but yesterday she went the mile in 2:08.

PUPILS CROWD SCHOOLS Grants Pass New Building Is Found Inadequate. GRANTS PASS. Or., Sept. 3. (Spe cial.) The schools of this city are be coming overcrowded and the directors will have to make some arrangements or outside rooms. Last year relief was given through the erection of the Riverside school, consisting of eight rooms. This extra building was deemed sufficient for sev eral 'years, but owing to the steady increase in population all buildings are now overflowing. Last year at the end of the first week of school the regis tration was 692 pupils, this year at the same time it is 740. These figures will be greatly increased as soon as the families that are temporarily absent return to town. In the high school the condition Is worse than in the lower grades. En rollment at the present time is 106 against for last year. GRAVES WILL IDT COME IXDEPENDEXCE PARTY RAMjY IS CALLED OFF. Candidate for Vice-President, How ever, May Be In Portland Later on During Campaign. John Temple Graves, nominee for Vice President on the Independence party ticket, will not deliver an address in Portland Saturday night, as planned. Yesterday the local headquarters of the party was advised from San Francisco that It would be impossible for Mr. Graves to reach Portland In time to fill his appointment. The Independence party people here, however, expect to arrange for another meeting later in the cam paign, as soon as It can be learned when Mr. Graves can be here. "Nothing nas been heard at Independ ence party headquarters here to indicate that Thomas L. Hisgen and William Ran dolph Hearst will not fill their engage ment here October 12. The local com mittee is continuing its arrangements for the proper reception and entertainment of their Presidential nominee and the founder of the party when they arrive. Members of the party here do not think Mr. Hearst will permit his candidacy for the Independence party nomination for Governor of New York to interfere with the tour of the Western States he has planned. Paullnus McDonald, who !s In ehargo of the Independence party headquarters in Portland, is in Seattle, where he I; as sisting the members of the new party to complete an organization. Later m the month it is proposed to hold a state convention in Washington, when nomi nees for Presidential electors will be se lected. PARTY WORKERS OX PLATFORM Committeemen Recognized in Plans for Gore Rally. If any particular honor is attached to the formality of occupying a seat on the speakers' platform during a political rally, that honor at the Democratic rally to be held at the Armory Friday night will be shared by the active workers from the ranks of the party organization in Multnomah County. Chairman George H. Thomas has decreed that when Sena tor Gore, of Oklahoma, delivers his ad dress here Friday night, the seats on the platform will be reserved for the pre cinct committeemen of the county, the party's Presidential electors, the delegates to the Denver convention and the mem bers of the reception committee, of which Governor Chamberlain Is chairman. "It is the precinct committeemen in this county who are raising and providing the necessary funds for carrying on the cam paign," said Mr. Thomas yesterday, "and I have decided that if any recognition is to be shown at the rally Friday night the men who are doing this Important work are the ones entitled to seats on the platform. Every one of these precinct committeemen has circulated a subscrip tion paper in his precinct and it is only with these funds that the County Central Committee is enabled to conduct the vig orous campaign that Is being carried on." The Democratic organization in this county, through the precinct committee men, is also taking an active hand in encouraging the registration of voters that failed to register for the June elec tion. It is true the party is not bestir ring Itself very actively In the way of persuading dilatory Republican voters to qualify as electors in the Presidential election, but each committeeman under Instructions from the County Chairman is seeing to it that every Democrat and doubtful voter in his precinct is register ing for the November election. WANTS " BORAH NEXT MONTH McArthur Requests Idaho Senator to Speak October 20. ' Secretary McArthur, of the Republican State Central Committee, yesterday tele graphed the National committee request ing that United States Senator W. E. Borah, of Idaho, be assigned to Portland for a political address Tuesday, October 20. At the same time he telegraphed Senator Borah urging the Idaho Senator to consent to deliver an address in this city on that date. There is a big demand from all sections of the state for campaign speakers and the executive committee is now arranging the itineraries of the various Republicans who have volunteered their services-. A schedule of these itineraries will be pub lished as soon as the dates can be ar ranged. ' Practically all of the literature and cam paign buttons on hand were forwarded yesterday from Republican headquarters in the Chamber of Commerce building to the chairmen of the different county central committees. At the same time Secretary McArthur provided for replen ishing the stock by telegraphing to the National committee and requesting 40.000 additional pieces of literature and 25,000. Taft and Sherman campaign buttons. Republicans from Yamhill, Umatilla and Wallowa Counties called at headquarters yesterday and reported that conditions in their respective counties were encourag ing and indicated that the full party vote In each county would be polled for the party's nominees. During the day several letters from other counties In the state were received, all carrying the same en couraging message. RUNS ON FINANCIAL ROCKS Germany Must Raise More Taxes to Avoid Big Deficit. BERLIN. Sept. 23. The critical financial position of the empire, with the suggested remedies, which will occupy virtually the whole approaching session of the Reich stag, is the subject of an article by Herr Reinhold Sydow, secretary of the imperial treasury, which will appear in the Deutsche Rundschau on September 25. All parties are convinced of the necessity of abolishing the system of borrowing in order to carry out the government of the empire. The task Is to equalize the revenue and expenditure; even with economics in all departments, yet In the next five years the deficit in the revenues as calculated might reach a total of $556,000,000. The government pro posed to avert this, however, continues the minister, by increasing the taxatioD on luxuries, especially spirits, beer, tobac co, champagne and bottled wines, while universal succession duties will -be intro duced, leaving small fortunes of from $2500 to $5000 untaxed. In the event of a person dying without testamentary disposition, the state Is to become heir in place of dis tant relatives who have no claim. The 'poll tax from federal states for imperial purposes also will be augmented. The minister concludes as follows: "The regulation of the imperial finances is a question of life or death for the em pire and the federal states." Petty Larcenist Released From Jail. ALBANY, Or., Sept. 23. (Special.) The trip of B. Coombs from Illinois to Oregon to secure a pardon for his ne phew, Harry Coombs, terminated suc cessfully today when the young man was released from the Linn County jail, where he was serving a sentence of 90 days. Coombs stole a suitcase from a baggage truck at the Southern Pacific depot on the night of August 28, and the next day pleaded guilty and was placed in the county jail. Men, Women, and Children find" abundance of the necessary tissue building and energy-storing material in Grape-Milts This food is quickly absorbed by children as well as adults, and contains all the nutritive elements of Whole Wheat and Barley. Nature has placed phosphate of potash in a certain part of these grains for man's use in building the gray substance of brain and nerve cells. Adults require this to repair natural waste from men tal and physical effort; children, because the nervous system grows so rapidly in early years. This part of the grain is included in Grape-Nuts. 66 There's a Postum Cereal Co., Ltd., Battle Saloon Owners Agree That the Pro hibitory Law Should Prevail on First Day of Week Amora All Dispensers of Good. Ruin confronts several score of small dealers In fruits, candles, flowers, tobacco and like sundries as a result of District Attorney Cameron's sweeping order that all places of business not especially ex empted by law must remain closed on Sunday hereafter. With fully 100 of the dealers affected by this order, Sunday has been the one particular day of the week that piled up profits and kept business brisk. On that day they have been re lieved from competition with the larger stores, have been brought Into direct contact with the Sunday crowds, and have been able to carry out a profitable existence In the line of petty trade. "Well, if the saloons are closed on Sun day, it Is only right to shut down on these other fellows," say the saloon men. Which is quite generally regarded as being the keynote of the present situa tion. That the saloon Interests have been working for this extreme enforcement of law in order to profit by a possible reac tionary sentiment is quite generally be lieved. Whether or not Mr. Cameron got his inspiration from that source does not appear, and his friends deny that such is the case. Portland imbibers have long since grown used to the practice of buying their Sunday liquor on Saturday night. In time the populace may grow thought ful enough to lay In its supply of grapes, cigars, ice cream, confections and period icals. But, aside from the loss to strug gling small dealers, the publio at large Is bound to suffer much inconvenience from the closing order. Drinking foun tains do not happen to abound in Port land, and the thirsty pedestrian will no longer find himself able to get some re freshing beverage from the harmless Ice cream parlor. He will be compelled to master his tuirst until arrival home. Closing of poolrooms, of course, is a matter which is arousing no resentment from conservative sources. These places have not the public sympathy, and it Is quite generally agreed that they should be kept shut. It Is known that a number of small dealers in .confections, refreshments and tobacco have been advised to resist the closing order. Organisation for this pur pose has not yet been effected, but may be. At least, it Is not likely that there will be a general observance of the law ; next Sunday, or until the dealers af fected are shown that the District Attor ney's order means business and that of fenders will be handled with an iron hand. MURDERED BY YAQUI BAND Son of Mexican Banker Waylaid in Suburbs of City. NO GALES, Aris., Sept. 23. Particu lars have just been received of a kill ing by Yaquls In a suburb of Hermo eillo, Mexico. Rafael J. Ruiz, son of a prominent banker, with Francisco Mo rales, a brother of Don Arturo Mo-, rales. Mayor of Guaymas, was return ing from Santa Margarita ranch in a carriage. When they were within two leagues of the ranch and about an equal distance from 'the city, Yaquls fired a volley from ambush. The men jumped out and Morales and the driver ran for assistance. Returning they found Ruiz still alive, but he died while being taken to Her mosillo. He was wounded by the first volley, and was shot twice afterward with his own pistol by the Yaquls, who made their escape. IF IT'SA HAT You want, try Le Palais Royal.
