SAN KKANCUJCO. March 17. tSpe
dal. ) Governor Oswald West, of Ore
gon, made the last appearance of ills
flve-dy visit In San Francisco when
be addressed a large audience at the
Cort Theater this- morning on prisons
and prison reform. The meeting was
under the auspice of the San Fran
cisco center of the California Civic
League and duuile the early honr. the
house was filled with men, women and
children. m eager to .ice and hear the
man who In one jear lias done mure
with the convict nrohlem than has yet
been accomplished in any other pari
of the world.
lie spoke briefly of hi visit to San
Quentln Saturday, then told in detail
ills theories concerning the reform of
convicts, of their application In Oregon
and their reception by the prisoners
and the citizens of the state.
"While our new system In Oregon
haa been In effect only a year. It so
far has proved successful and It Is
reasonable to believe It ran Je applied
with euual suci eas In California or any
other state.'' he said. "To my mind
the penitentiary should serve two pur
poses for the man sent Into it by the
court. It should be a punishment, and
at the same time should serve to re
form him. So far rfte general tendency
ha been to use It only as punishment.
The Industries In which the men are
employed are confining, unhealthy, un
Instructlve and of little or no actual
profit to the state, and when the pris
oner comes out. even If he Is not al
ready broken In health and mind, he
ha no trade or knom-ledge of business
that fits him to become self-supporting.
I am opposed to the Jute mill In
the prison, as practiced 1n California,
and to keeping two or fhree men In
the same cell. This latter system has
been the ruin of hundreds of boya and
men not inherently bad when they were
sent In. In place of tlie Jute mill I
would have harness, shoe and other
factories. In which the men could-learn
trade. And I would make It the duty
of the state to find a job for every dis
charged man."

HUNDREDS ADMIRE
Pure-Breds of Six States in
Northwest Arrive Here
for Big Exhibition.
FORMAL OPENING TODAY
Sixty Carloads of Fine Draught
Horses. Sheep, Cattle and Pigs
Iteaeli City Yesterday to
Take Pr.rt in Show.
Although the second annual Pacific
Northwest Livestock Show is not to
be formally opened until this mornins,
cars running to the Union Stockyards,
where the show is to be held, were
crowded all day yesterday and hun
dreds of persons roamed about the
lanes between the pens where the
newly arrived exhibits" were being in
stalled and' paid their tribute to the
aristocracy of the Pacific Northwest's
livestock.
And there was not uuestion about
the aristocratic quality of the display.
The most select of the pure-bred stock
of six Northwestern states was there,
many of the animals having an an
cestry that can be traced back in di
rect descent from the blue-blooded
stock of the world for more than 200
years. '
Animals Rulae Clamor.
Carloads of exhibit stock began ar
riving Saturday evening, and three
trains reached the stockyards yester
day, bringing more than 60 carloads
or fine draft horses, sheep, blooded
cattle and plump pigs of every age
and breed, who kept the exhibit pens
in a ceaseless uproar with their
blatant objections against the inter
ference of the show employes whose
duty it was to distribute them in their
allotted places. The Cniversity of
Idaho has sent fine exlftbits of beef
cattle, sheep and hogs. Nearly 30
cities in Oregon, Washington, Idaho,
Montana, Utah and California were
represented under the names of enter
ing exhibitors on the books by the
middle of yesterday afternoon.
Among the thoroughbred stock en
tered are such prominent animals as
Highland Mary, winner of the junioV
grand championship for Shorthorn fe
males at the Spokane Fair, and Wash
ington Star, junior champion Short
horn bull, both fuom a herd of 31 cat
tle and calves entered by A. D. Dunn,
of Wapato, Wash. Another exhibit
that willrtraet attention is an entry
of Scotch Highland cattle from Boise,
Idaho, and two beautiful Aberdeen An
gus bulls, entered by A. H. Kagleson,
of Boise. TMf Howard Cattle Company,
from NewiHan, Cal., lias sent an ex
hibit in which are two big steers, en
tered for the ribbons for the individual
steers. George Chandler, of Baker,
also has a large entry of Herefords.
A young man from Mollala has in his
entry one white Shorthorn steer that
has already become a pet and a fa
vorite among visitors at the stock
yards. Judging tu Start Karl v.
Judsing of the exhibits will henin
at 9 o'clock this morning. One of the
features today will be a judging con
test between students from the agri
cultural colleges of Oregon, Washing
ton and Idaho for a purse of J 100.
Tomorrow, the day of the sales of
fat cattle, will be one of the most in
teresting days of the show. Promi
nent stock fanciers and breeders from
all parts of the Pacific Coast will be
in the crowd that will fill the pavilion
where the sales ring has been installed,
and some of the finest stock that has
ever been brought into Portland w-ill
be bid for. Besides the Btockmen wlio
will attend and the 250 members of
the Lewiston excursion party who
will be present as guests of the Stock
yards Company, every commercial or
ganization of the city will have a dele
gation. Members of the Portland Rotary Club
plan to go on a special car immedi
ately after the close of their luncheon.
The Ad Club. Realty Board. Progres
sive Business Men's Club. East Side
Business Men's Club and other organ
izations have made arrangements for
special cars to carry their parties out
to attend the sales. With the East
Side business men will go the Wash

has been engaged by the association to
help it carry out its share of the pro
gramme. Food Kxbiblt Arranged.
In connection with the livestock
