It Is needless to, say that this Is his first visit to Portland. "You see. when I left Denver wa had a slight touch of Winter there." con tinued Mr. Spinner. "I think the ther mometer registered somewhere around SO degrees below sero. At any rata It was getting; chilly enough to discard light-weight clothing, and. as I was about to start for Oregon, several hun dred miles north ofDenver. I naturally expected to find soma frosty weather here In Portland. Consequently. I pro Tided myself with tha heaviest gar ments) I could vet. (Tba garments were made of pure woolen fabrics, of course.) "I find I mad a big mistake. Port land Is not so near the North Pole as I had Imagined.

' I Climate Similar to That of England ' nece-lTes Credit Judges Com plete Work In. Lincoln " and Rambouillets. By wlnnlnir first prise In the long wool competition at the National Mid Winter Show at the Armory, against royal prizewinners of England. Oregon haa added $100,000 to her wealth and everlasting fame In the aheep industry is the belief of Dr. James Wlthycomba. of the Oregon Agricultural College, at Corvaiiia. Tha Royal Bheep Show of Great Brit ain, recognised as the world'! greatest sheep show, last Fall made an award to tba best Cotswold yearling ram. Tha ram and several others of the same breed, all prise winners, were bought by F. W. Harding, of. Waukesha Wis.. and brought to the United Statea They have slnca been exhibited at Na tional and International shows and in variably ware prlxe winners. Their first defeat was In Portland at tha Na tional Mid-Winter Show, by a yearling ram of Fred A. Koser, of Rlckreail. Polk County. The ram of this Oregon aheep breeder possesses a long Oregon ancestry. Is a native of the soil and was declared the best long wool ram In the world by tha judges, Noel Gibson, of Mlllbrook. N. T.; Frank Brown, of Port land, and Thomas Brunk, of Dallas. "Oregon's success In winning the grand championship for rams." said Dr. Wlthycomba. "is proof of my conten tion that wa hare the best climate In tha world for long wool. I have preached this In and out of school. Tha decision of the competent judges yes terday Is specific evidence In support of my contention, and I am certain that it is worth $100,000 to Oregon. Tha remarkable fact that we have the best sheep In the world Is due pri marily to climatic conditions which produce a wide variety of forage plants for sheep and other livestock. It is an active demonstration of the superi ority of the Oregon long wool aheep, when one of Oregon ancestry for sev eral generations wins In competition with best selected stock to be found In England which Is also tha winner of the highest prises given with the consent of the King. This defeat of the English breeders waa made possible by the selection of a One ram from the herd of Mr. Koser, but he Is not alone In tha production of thla high grade of sheep, which combines the two qual ities of mutton and the finest long wool on tha market. There are many other flocks which bava just aa good rams I believe. It Is a remarkable vic tory. If these sheep of the royal herds of England were not real prlxe win ners It would not ba so conclusive, but Inasmuch as they are. I certainly re joice in the outoome with ail the de light of an Oregonlan." Mr. Harding, who has traveled with his winning Cotswolds to many Na tional and international shows, was not satisfied with the original decision of Frank Brown, the judge, and requested that It be reviewed by Mr. Gibson, who confirmed the decision and declared his opinion that the ram was the finest he ever had scored. "Well. Oregon wins against the best ram In England, and that is recognized aa making It the best In the world," said Mr. Harding, afterwards. "I bought this yearling at the Royal Sheep Show at Liverpool, when grand cham pionship prize waa placed upon it by tha judges. I paid a fancy price for him and this Is the first time I have' met defeat since I put him oh exhi bition. Tou have a climate similar to that of England, and I attribute the result to cllmatlo conditions more than anything else. Tou have an Ideal country for the long wool sheep." Mr. Harding employed a herder and professional handler of show sheep to care for hla flock. Mr. Koser handled and prepared hia own exhibit for the show without assistance. The only competition with Imported stock In tha show was In the Cotswold class. In Ramboulllet, Llncolns and unregistered long wools there was active local competition. Especially of Hamboulllets was this true. It was the opinion of Mr. Harding and Mr. Renk. prominent sneep breeders, that In Rambouillets no better stock could be found in Franca or Germany than tha prize winners from Washington and Idaho.

THE center of Interest for housekeep ers this week lies moat decidedly In the fish market, for there Is the op portunity to secure not only the always desirable "variety" in the daily menu, but also some economic compensation for the holiday high prices in poultry, eggs, butter and some kinds of meat. The market seems better supplied than usual at this season, and prices are Inclined to be lower in consequence., Endless delicious and digestible break fast, luncheon and supper dishes are within the reach of any housekeeper who has made a study of Portland's "sea foodi' and even more Important has trained her family in wise, open- minded" habits of eating. Columbia River smelt, though less costly than on lta first appearance, sold yesterday at 25 cents a pound, but will probably soon reach the lower prices we are accustomed to. Salmon trout, black bass and striped bass ara tha most expensive of fish, costing 25 to 35 cents a pound. Catfish, croppies "and sole cost 15 cents: salmon, halibut, black cod and California shad, 12 H cents; while red snapper, sliver smelt, sea bass, flounder, pike, perch, rock cod, tomood, fresh herring and carp are all. to be. had at about 10 centa a pound. Some particularly large shrimps or perhaps they were prawns were shown at 25 cents a pound, while shrimps of ordinary size were available at 15 cents. There were plenty of good crabs, as well as mussels and hard shell clams; but I saw no' razor ' clams. Olympta oysters are said to be scarce, and all varieties of oysters seem to be higher In price this year. There Is a very attractive array of salted and kip pered fish cod, salmon, herring and haddock, both domestic and Imported. Fresh terrapin Is available at $1 each. Poultry prices are about the same as last week, though chickens tend to be higher in price rather than lower. Wild geese are to be had at 75 cents to $1 each; snipe at 75 cents a pair, and jackrabbits at 50 cents eacn. Owing, probably, to the continued mild weather, green vegetables . are more plentiful than usual at this par ticular season. Field lettuce has ap peared jieveral weeks earlier than tt did last year. Chicory is still excellent and there is good water cress and several kinds of lettuce. Spinach and "curly greene" can be had at 5 cents, and Brussels sprouts at 10 cents a pound. Wax beans, green peas, green corn and eggplant are also obtainable by those in search of out-of-season delicacies. French artichokes are very good Just now. and Jerusalem artichokes are also to ba had. Cauliflower Is scarcer, but still fairly good, and the same Is true of a-reen DeDners. There are good hot house tomatoes and cucumbers, and ex- i cellent celery and celerlac, as well as I tables. U Asserting that "the worsted makers ara in a auarrel with the wooimen FVerf H. Blume. State Senator from Sheridan. Wvo.. delivered a tariff speech of an hour's length before the National Woolgrowers' Convention ye terdav afternoon. "They want your support," said the speaker, "yet you ought-not to do ex nerted to settle'the strife." The sneaker was introduced by Dr J. M. Wilson, of Douglas, Wyo.. who said: "I have noticed In your papers here that Portland Is greatly worried over the fact that the Oregon Senators were asleep when they cut up the melon for . . . r eon nnn Ann irrigation to mo tuuo ui t,.i t a A Msmii von.

Nature has put an insuperable obstacle in the way of a just operation of the present law.

No person buys wool for the dirt contained in It. -r-. man mhn TPTPlVf S the tWO- tenths Is asked to pay the same tax as the man who receives eight-tenths.

Or., is said to be the only woman goat raiser In the United States, so far as known. Ehe has a fine exhibit at the sheep show. Colonel William Daley, of Rawlins, Wyo., is one of the characters of the convention. He is six feet four inches tall, and In his own country is called "the man who built the Rocky Moun tains." ' Thomas C. Power, ex-United Statea Senator from Montana, is at the con vention. He Is an ardent wool protec tionist and hopes that the sheepmen will be let alone. Secretary Mlnton, of the Midwinter Sheep Show, Is one of the hardest working men In connection with the entertainment of the sheepmen. He has deserted his publication, the Ag riculturist, for the time being, and has devoted all of his" time to the promotion of the show. The Baker Theater was filled last night with delegates, the entire seating capac ity' having been reserved by Portland business men for the visitors. The play presented was Clyde Fitch's comedy, "Girls." That the visitors enjoyed the performance was evident a dozen times. The election of officers will take place this morning.
