Likely to win a gold medal for their
industry are two White Wyandotte hens
that are the center of much attention

they are without doubt the hardest
working and most industrious living
thing to be seen by visftors.
The hens were entered as a part of
the exhibit of the Oregon State Hospital
and they hold champion trapnest rec
ords for the past year.
These marvelous hens, Ko. 12 and 82.

NEW YORK. Oct. 28. Agents. of the
Russian government, it was reliably
reported here today, are seeking to
establish a credit loan in this country
somewhat similar to the recent $500,
000,000 Anglo-French credit loan al
though no bond issue is contemplated
of from $50,000,000 to $100,000,000 and
more, if it can be obtained!
Details of the proposed loan were
lacking, but in one quarter it was re
ported that the Russian government
was willing to pay as high as 9 per
cent interest for a loan, of this size.
This report added that the loan prob
ably would be for -18 months and would
be in the neighborhood of J 60,000.000.

are doing their best to please the
fickle appetites of visitors. They of
fer an array of dishes for the -delectation
of the public that might well
cause one of feeble digestion to pause
before sampling them all.
Almost all the manufacturers of
foods, relishes and drinks want noth
ing so much as to have the visitors
at the show sample their wares and
they spread them temptingly on the
counters of the booths. They are par
ticularly pleased when they have to
replenish the plates or pour another
drink for the samplers.
Everything from .loganberry juice to
a foamy drink that looks like beer,
but isn't, is to be had in the way of
drinks and there are pickles, cakes,
buns, candy, relishes, ' ere", that are
constantly put into the bands of those
passing the booths.
One could not accumulate a regula
tion dinner by simply passing from
one exhibit to another, enjoying the
hospitality of each in turn, but one
could well stay the pangs of hunger
and possibly feast to the point of dis
tress if none of the tempting offers
were overlooked.
Each manufacturer is so certain that
his product is the best to be had in
the whole show that many visitors feel
it is almost discourteous, to refuse the
many Invitation's.

Progressive Business Men's CInb Hear
That Oregon's Lair Is Best of Its
Kind In the United States.
The so-called "father of Oregon's
prohibition law" refused yesterday to
be so styled, declaring: before the Pro
gressive Busthess Men's Club at the
Multnomah Hotel that he had just in
troduced the bill in the Legislature,
and that he was glad be was there
to do it.
Thus did Mayor J. E. Anderson, of
The Dalles, give others credit for a
law made up of many sections or parts
taken from many sections of the coun
try, and including many ideas of Ore
gon people.
Mr. Anderson, who was introduced by
R. P. Hutton. prohibition leader, ad
mitted, that Oregon's law was the best
of its kind in the United States today.
He said:
"The law does not interfere with a
man's diet or say what he shall have on
bis table. It is the earnest attempt to
give a square deal to everyone, and in
turn we ask that it be given a square
deal."
Rev. W. W. Youngson. who intro
duced Mr. Hutton. predicted that within
five years there would not be a. saloon
in the United States.
Announcement was made yesterday
that the club will bold another big
pumpkin festival, similar to the one
two years ago. which was recorded as
one of the organisation's greatest suc
cesses, a large amount of money going
to charity.
SILVERT0N MAKES PROTEST
Fight on Lumber Rates Said to Hart
Town's Interests.
SILVERTON. Or., Oct 28 (Special.)
A resolution protesting against the
action of certain Portland lumber mills
in endeavoring to have the Interstate
Commerce Commission establish dif
ferentials in favor of Portland as
against the Willamette Valley mills
was unanimously adopted by the busi
ness men of sSilverton. working in
conjunction with the Silverton Com
mercial Club, at a mass meeting held
Wednesday evening.
The lumber business of Silverton is
one of the chief assets, and anything
that tends to check outside shipments
affects the business intererests of the
whole city. - A committee composed of
G. W. Hubbs. G. B. Bentson and Norris
Ames was appointed to interview the
business men and have them take the
matter up individually with their
wholesale houses in Portland.

Fact That Mixed Drinks Are Non-la-toxlcating
Does Not Seem to Keep
Customers Array.
Nothing is more popular at the Man
ufacturers' and Land Products Show
at the Armory than the 191$ bar, where
temperance drinks are dispensed. Ex
pert mixers are in charge of .the thirst
parlor, which boasts all the fixtures and
trimmings of the saloon of today, minus
the hard drinks. -
The brass rail in front of the bar
is the resting place for innumerable
feet every day and night, and women
are among the most enthusiastic pa
trons of the establishment. Nothing
looks more devilish than a number of
women patrons lined up in front of
the bar, each with one foot resting on
the .brass rail, and drinking some of
the many drinks served that have the
appearance of being intoxicants but
are really most innocent in their ingredients.
John E. Cronan is general chairman
in charge of the 1916 bar throughout
the show. Vice-presidents for the week
commencing next Monday were named
yesterday, and they will nave super
vision of this temperance saloon dur
ing those days.. They are as follows:
November 1, A. O. Jones; November
2, Fred Larson; November 3, C. J.
Mathis: November 4. Owen Summers;
November7 5, A. C. McMicken; Novem
