"He appeared Just before the show opened," said the secretary, "with his rooster under his arm, and took one of the pens, saying that the rooster's name was Ben, and that his wife thought a good deal of the fowl, and he hoped that nothing would happen to Ben." "Ben" Close to Perfect. "Ben" Is a beautiful bird, and when the Judges began scoring him they at once observed that he was very close to oerfeeL When they finished he had a mark of 4 something phenomenal In poultry contests. There were over 0 entries In the White Leghorn class and Ben was far In the lead. "It aoes to show, said one r tne judges, "that prtxe-wlnning birds are not always found In the pens of the professional breeder. Ben's comb Is a beautiful feature of the bird, an evi dence of rood health and pride, uioi at how he stands. Notice the curve to his tall and those two long white feathers. There Is perfect curvature there: and the feet could any be of a better color of yellow? He Is a fine bird and no mistake." B. Lee Paget, of the Portland Trust Company, won the first prize for tne best ben In the White Wyandotte class, while H. Rlnghouse. of Clackamns sta tion, won nearly everything else In this class.

HILL IS EXPECTED SOQN DEFINITE A DOCK OX VISIT IS DIE IN FEW DAYS. John F. Stevens, Head of Hill Sys tem in Oregon, Returns From Vacation Trip South. It Is likely that J. J. Hill will visit Portland before the end of the present month, definite advice as to the time of his arrival being expected here In a few days. John K. Stevens, president of the North Bank road, who returned from a brief vacation trip to California yes terday morning, said that he has not been Informed as to the exact time of Mr. Hill's cominsr. During his absence from Portland Mr.. Stevens shut him self off from his business so that he might recuperate from the effects of a slight Illness contracted In the East last month. His programme for the Immediate future, therefore, provides for lils taking up the work that ac cumulated In his office during his ab sence. Including the several construc tion projects that have already been undertaken. v The United Electric line will be com pleted to Banks, as already announced, and the Oregon Trunk railway will be extonded to Bend, but plans further than this may depend upon advice from Mr. Hill. That the Oregon Trunk road will be built south from Bend, and that the United Electric will be ex tended to Tillamook from Banks are projects that the Hill system contem plates, but no certain knowledge of the time such work Is to be started has been gained by anyone. It la be lieved that Mr. Hill himself has not determined definitely on this point. It was a source of great disappoint ment to the people of Oregon and to Mr. Hill himself, that he could not visit Oregon at the time of the convention of the Oregon Development League, last week. He had planned to be here and had announced his Intention of coming, but he waa unavoidably detained .n New York and In Wash ington, and could not leave the bast In time to attend the Salem meetings. He Is now at ma office In St. Paul. Mr. Stevens, although he kept In touch with the railroad situation dur ing his absence, was not folly Informed on the several transactions and re ported transactions that have taken place within the past few weeks, and said he knew nothing of them. With the extensive work outlined by the roads of which Mr. Stevens Is the head, he will be kept busy Tor the next fow months. Should Mr. Hill, on his forthcoming visit, determine upon further development of the state, this work would be Increased. Mr. Stevens was accompanied on his California trip by Mrs. Stevens and their son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. John F. Stevens. Jr., who returned to Portland with him. John F. Stevens. Jr.. and wife, will remain here for a few days before returning to their home In Chicago. CAT CLUB TO HOLD SHOW House Tabby to Have Opportunity, to Compete Equally.
