Portias err Reealsed.
Amour the livestock men who at
tended the show yesterday Portland
Is recognlxed as the only livestock
market on the Pacific Coast. It Is the
only competitive market west of Den
ver. This fact makes It advantageous
for both buyers and sellers. The grow
er Is able to gel a better price and
the packer, although lie has to pay
more, buys at an advantage, owing to
his probability of gettlnff superior
stock and having It on the ground In
the exact nuantltlca that he desires
each day. He has no Idle money tied
up and he knows Just what he la get
ting. He can carry on bis buying busi
ness, too. at a greatly reduced expense
In comparison with those packers who
buy dlro.-t. as lie does nut have to main
tain a staff of traveling buyers on the
road.
In this particular the Portland Union
Sinckyards Company Is aiding mater
ially In developing the local Industry
as It offers an opportunity to every
purchaser to secure stock at the pre
vailing market prices. The Portland
market Is higher always than those
of the Missouri Klver. thus making it
attractive to growers, even In that part
of the country.
raatatloas Ylalt Shaw.
Tt.e present sl;ow Is aiding In a large
measure to educate Portland people
with the Importance of the Industry.
Many prominent Portland men visited
the show either Individually or as mem
bers of the organised parties, which
Included the Rotary Club, the Pro
gressive Business Men's Club, the
Horse-Owners' Association, the Credit
Men and others. The Ad Club will at
tend this afternoon.
The final decision of the- management
to permit the agricultural colleges of
the three Northwestern states, Oregon.
Washington and Idaho, to enter In the
competition seems to have met with the
finrl approval of all Interested parties.
"Some criticism was made by the ex
hibitors." said l. O. Uvely. "to the
effect that colleges were permitted to
enter and compete for the prises. At
the iir.t show the colleges were not
permitted to enter and It was the
opinion of the management that they
would not be allowed to enter the sec
ond show. In fact, the preliminary
classification was so arranged, but after
due consideration the classification was
amended and the colleges permitted to
enter. This same question has been
up at all of the shows of a similar
character In the I'nltcd States and the
discussion lakes place each year.
Colleges Pretsake Dlaewaaloa.
The colleges were a bone of con
tention at the international at Chi
cago and to paraphrase the Breeders'
fiaxctte In this particular. I may say.
that If the Pacific Northwest Livestock
Show Is a mere agency for distributing
money among Individuals who have
not thn ability to breed the best, nor
the means to buy the best, nor the
skill to fee. I the best. It would be
well to bar such enterprising colleges
as Idaho, which has set the highest
MHinUrd st the Pacific Northwest Live
stock I'.xhlbltlon If this sihow alms
to lesrh lessons that flow from th
exhibition of Lbe highest obtainable ex- ,
cellence. then serlous-mlnded men
ought not to waste time In discussion
of the subject.
"A closed competition means an In
ferior standard. That Is Its object. It
Is closed against the best In order
that the mediocre may win. The Pa
cific Northwest Livestock Show -was
not established to set a false stan
dard. It would be recreant to Us ob
ligation to the animal breeders of the
world If it closed Its competition to
the best.
"It would be Just as reasonable to
bar the Charles Ladd herd from St.
Louis Fair because he had tho ability
and the means to produce so excellent
a display of Shorthorns, as It would
be to shut out the colleges from these
exhibition."

great poultry centers of the state, as
on March 13. there were within a radius
of live miles of Etacada. 98 Tncubators
In operation, with a total capacity of
in, 000 egg. Estimating on the basis
of a 75 per cent hatch, this would mean
a hatch af approximately 10.000 chick
ens every 21 days, or 50.000 chickens for
the four hatching months and allowing
20 per cent mortality, would mean 40.
000 chicks for this year. About 15,000
chickens also will be hatched without
the use of the Incubator, making a
total of approximately 50.000 chickens
for the year, .which will be a iOO per
cert increase over the production of
1911.

that the derelict which was sighted '

feared last night. The derelict was
much larger, being 140 feet long, ac
cording to the last report. Today
nothing is seen of the wrecked vessel
and the Identity of the boat has not
been established. It was learned to
day that the Randolph left this morn

Eureka, south of Cresent City.

,The highest point of woman's
j happiness is reached only through
motherhood, in the clasping of her
child within her arms. Yet the
xnother-to-be is often fearful of
nature's ordeal and shrinks from
the suffering incident to its con
summation. But for nature's ills
and discomforts nature provides
remedies, and in Mother's Friend
is to be found a medicine of great
value to every expectant mother.
It is an emulsion for external ap
plication, composed of ingredients
which act with beneficial and
soothing effect on those portions
of the system involved. It is in
tended to prepare the system for
the crisis, and thus relieve, in
great part, the suffering' through
which the mother usually passes.

Should be cultivated locally, as well as in a broader field. Our sister state to
the east has just shown a friendly and neighborly interest toward Oregon by
her "Booster Special." There is something about a hearty hand-clasp from a
social or business friend that strengthens our confidence in mankind. Idaho,
Washington and Oregon should be more than neighbors; they should be sisters
and pull together for a GREATER NORTHWEST.
Our cities should also pull together to obtain best results. It's high time
for Portlanders and Astorians to stop their selfish squabbles and to recognize
that EACH is an ADVANTAGE to the OTHER. We need to use the mouth of
the Columbia River to keep pace with Washington on a BUSINESS BASIS.
We can't afford to sleep on their $5,000,000 terminal proposition. The Pan
ama Canal great ships will all go there, "IF WE DON'T WATCH OUT."
"THERE'S A REASON"
So let's get busy at the GATEWAY. And, Mr. Neighbor, the logical thing
for you to do and do it quick is to plant a few dollars in inside lots at
