BT ADDISON BENNETT.
LEWI3TOX. Idaho, Dec. 1. (Spe
elal.) The second day of the stock
now la past, but it has set record
(or attendance and interest, while the
weather waa magnificent. The ther
mometer has been flirting: about in the
JOs. the sun has shown with splendor
ard every condition was Ideal. The
dampness of yesterday had disappeared
and the grounds are in perfect condi
tion. It has been difficult, yes. impossi
ble, to pet the actual number of ani
mals shown. The best way to express
the aggregate numbers Is by the acre.
It was figured out in about this man
ner three acres of horses, four acres
of cattle, two acres of pigs and one
acre of sheep.
As to the Quality of the exhibits,
there can be no dispute, which conclu
sion is that of such judges as Professor
Carlysle. who has attended the great
est shows In this country and Europe.
And. by the way, the Judging of the
professor is the perfection of the art.
His work today attracted, great crowds,
and In every case the classes were
large, the competition keen and the
competing owners on the qui vlve for
some slip.
Declaloaa Are I'.xalalnrd.
When, however, the professor an
nounced his decisions he did so by
summing up the case and explaining
how and why he decided as he did. .
And at the conclusion of his re
marks even the most hypercritical de
feated owners had to admit that the
decisions were Just and wise.
Never waa there a mass of people at
a, livestock show more generally In
terested than today's crowd. Perhaps
one of the chlefest pleasures of many
was to see the cavalry and artillery
horses and equipment of the United
states Army, from Fort Riley. Kan
sas. There were four cavalry and four
artillery horses, in charge of Captain
Hall of the Sixth Cavalry and First
Lieutenant Patton, of the First Field
Artillery, assisted by six privates. All
these came from the training school
at Fort Klley. but more directly from
the great horse show at iladtson
Square Garden, New York.
Among the eight horses they showed
was one that bad taken the blue rib
bon in New Tork over the strongest
competition aver seen In this country,
animals from practically all of the
great nations of the world competing.
This waa in the light charger class,
and the animal that won was picked
up on the Montana range for f 126. And'
yet one of his competitors, entered
from the French army, was Insured
for J30.000, and others were from the
royal stables of some of the great Eu
ropean nations. This horse has a dia
mond brand on his left Jaw. and that
is his only known pedigree.

large a delegation from Portland. They
arrived here over the O.-W. It. A N. at
:1 o'clock this morning and were
met at the depot by a large number nf
Lewiston residents. Then they all
marched up between the festoons of
corn to Hotel Bollinger, where quar
ters had been . arranged for. After
breakfast the party, almost Intact,
went out to the show and spent the
entire day there.
It Is said that large delegations will
arrive from Spokane, Walla Walla and
other cities of Eastern Washington
and Eastern Oregon, while large par
ties will come from Moscow. Wardner.
tirangevllle and other Idaho points.
For, be it remembered that the great
show has Just got fully started. Real
Interest will come along about Friday,
to touch the hlghwater mark Satur
day, or perhaps at the society show
Friday evening.
Of this, one this Is sure, the affair
has been and will be one of the great
successes of the kind. More than like
ly it will not be outdone In number
of animals exhibited or their quality
at the future shows to be held annu
ally here under the same auspices.

THE DALLES. Or.. Dec. 2. (Spe

the worst fire scares In Its history
this morning when a blase broke forth
In the basement of the Vogt building,
the largest business block of the city,
threatening its destruction and also
other large structures in the business
district.
The flames, however, were confined
to the Vogt basement, which was dam
aged to the extent of $3000. The stock
of A. E. Crosby, druggist, was dam
aged by smoke and water to a total
of $3000. Louis Borden's stock of gro
ceries suffered a damage of $1000 from
water and smoke.
It Is presumed the fire started from
the furnace. The fire fighters when

time, on account of smoke, to reach
the flames.
Second street In front of the Vogt
block resembled the floor of a general
merchandise store this morning, for
most of the merchants moved much of
their goods Into the thoroughfare.

SEASIDE PROBLEMS ARE UP
Xew City Government Takes Hold
of Beach Town Today.
SEASIDE. Or.. Dec. 2. (Speoial.)
when tho reins of city government
pass Into the hands of a new City
Council here tomorrow one of the prin
cipal problems that will await solution
by the newly qualified body will be
the letting; of contracts for a City Hall
building. The retiring Council had ad
vertised for bids, which were to have
been opened Monday, but J. E. Bralller,
one of the members of the Council, was
granted a temporary injunction re
straining the Council from opening the
bids. The restraining order was Issued
by Judge Kakln. of tho Circuit Court
of Clatsop County.
The complaint alleges that tha con
tract for the plana and specifications
of the proposed buildiug was entered
Into secretly by a committee of the
Council and that the Council had been
bound to F. Manson White, the archi
tect, for a largo sum of money, and
that the plans and specifications had
been adopted Illegally by the Council.
Allegation la also made that the ad
vertisements for bids that appeared in
several newspapers were not author
ised by the Council.
From expressions made by tha In
coming Council and numbers of promt,
neut taxpayers the principal 'objection
to the proposed contract was tha cost,
which Is claimed to be excessive and
greater than the needs of the city will
justify. The building was to have cost
approximately 120,000.
