They have been purchased lor mat purpose by J. D. Huston, of the Denver Horse & Mule Company, one of the biggest companies that Is supplying horses to the armies of Europe from the United States. Mr. Huston Is up the Willamette Valley now, buying more horses. He will return to Port land next Monday to buy horses brought in from the sections lying immediately about Portland. On Tuesday six carloads, at least, of the biggest, finest horses for military purposes that the Willamette Valley affords will leave Portland for Den ver, where they will be inspected by the representatives of the French Gov ernment, and If satisfactory, will be purchased and shipped at once to Europe. Almost All tin To War. The majority of them will probably go on to Europe, for Mr. Huston re ceived word from Denver day before yesterday that 95 per cent of the horses sent from the West by him had been accepted by the inspectors and sold to the French government. "Eastern Oregon has already been combed clean of horses suitable for war uses," says C. AV. Todd, of the Star Barns, who Is handling the horses left in Portland by Mr. Huston. "Since last Fall I believe that it Is safe to say tha more than 6000 horses went out of Eastern Oregon alone, for use on European battlefields. "I was in La Grande recently, and found there a dozen or more repre sentatives of big Middle Western horse dealers' companies. -Several inspectors for the French government were there also. Since January 1, more than 60 carloads of horses have been sold and shipped out of La Grande to be sent to the French Government. "At Wallowa, on March 7. 8, and 9, the horse dealers who went from Port land found dealers from Denver, Kan sas City, Omaha and other Middle West cities, all bidding and bidding high on horses for military purposes. The dealers who were not buying for mili tary purposes hadn't a ghost of a show in the bidding." Artillery Horses Being Taken. Mr. Todd said that the purchases of horses in Oregon last Fall were mostly for cavalry service. "But now they, are buying all the time for artillery," he said. "Big, chunky-built, good-boned horses between five and ten years old, is what they are asking; horses that will weigh from 1250 to 1500 pounds. It will be the horses from the farm, in Mr. Todd's opinion, and ' not the heavy horses used Jfn city hauling, that will be taken up and sent to war. The draft horses of the city, as a rule, he says, have been scarred up or injured in manners, which, while it does not unfit them for service, will make It hard for the average horse that has seen long city service to pass tho inspection of the army buyer. . The demand Is for horses of any color except light gray; for light gray makes too good a target apparently. So when Mr. Huston returns to Port land Monday to begin his buying In this section, the horse that is light gray, or the horse tnat nas oeen "bunged up" on the pavements of the eitv. will be in a position to sigh sigh of deep content, and the gentle old gray mare whose offspring has takeu after her In color can hum with arjnreciation. "I didn't raise my colt to be an artillery horse." LA GRANDE HORSES TOO BIG Only Limited Number Accepted by Army Buyers In Valley. LA GRANDE, Or., March 24. (Spe cial.)

The KLAVICLE, as first created and intro duced by the House of Kuppenheimer, became at once the sensation of the overcoat world. It is the most widely imitated overcoat style in America there being endless attempts or varia tions in the way of copying the style or the name. The Kuppenheimer KLAVICLE is a superb coat as interpreted for Spring, with silk yoke and sleeve lining and light skeleton treatment inside. Its great feature is the absence of all seams in. back and arm-hole. The entire sleeves and back cut from one piece f cloth making a per fect draping, roomy coat that doesn't bind the arms or shoulders a military idea based upon the Cavalryman's cape. It has wide collar and lapel, full soft roll; the front buttons through. There are outside patch pockets with flaps. You must try on this coat to realize how be coming it is, what a dash it has of its own, and how it separates itself from many loose models and "slip-over" coats offered so generally this Spring.
