PHOTO MAN IS SWAMPED Doubling of Entries Is Expected in Chinese Baby , Competition Next Week Telephone Calls Pour In Iiive-Iong Day. Although the baby show at the Man ufacturers' and Land Products Show was presumably closed Thursday, when the Judges finished their deci sions and the prizes were awarded, the aftermath from the ehow kept Interest stirred up at the headquarters of the show yesterday almost as much as in the last days before the entries were closed. The official photographer, who had promised to give a photograph to each baby entered, as a souvenir and con solation prize, found himself swamped with applicants before the entries were closed, and was obliged to announce that he would give out orders for the photos on the day of the show. Yes terday the parents began to bring in their babies to have the photographs taken, and, with the total entries run ning somewhere more than 300, the photographer has a busy time ahead of him for several days to come. At the office of the show telephone calls were coming in all day long, with questions as to .who were winners and where to " go to get photographs and why this or that baby failed to carry away a prize in the contest. The show was the biggest thing of Its kind held in the history of the Manufacturers' and Land Products Show, and, taking it as a measure of the increased public interest In the big exposition, the management is looking forward to a practical doubling of the entries in the Chinese baby ' ehow ' to be held next week over the number of entries of a year ago. BELATED EXHIBIT HEBE lake; county display takes en tire Week IN TRANSPORTATION. Need of Railroad Facilities Empha sised, but Representative Says Op portunities Are Excellent. Eastern Oregon, which already occu pies the major part of the firmament at the Manufacturers' and Land Prod ucts Show, In the land products sec tion, added a. new star to its galaxy yestorday when the Lake County ex hibit arrived. This exhibit was just a week on the road from the time it left Silver Lake. One of the chief incentives back of the move of Lake County to exhibit was the value of the Land Show in calling attention to the gigantic stretch of undeveloped land in that section of Oregon, which is clamoring for rail road facilities and settlers. A fair idea of the need Lake County has for railroad facilities is given in the fact that it took its exhibit & week to reach Portland, and that it was nec essary for the exhibit to be hauled 220 miles overland by stage to reach the train at Bend. In spite of the jolting received in the long overland, trek. the exhibits reached here in good condition and will be installed this morning in the booth adjoining the forestry exhibit, directly across the aisle from Wasco County's big exhibit. John Hays, a prominent ranch owner of Lake County, is in charge of the ex hibit. Grains and grasses are especially featured 1n the display. There are also some fine dry farming products in the way of potatoes, pumpkins, squashes, etc., all raised at an elevation of 5000 feet above the sea level on the mag nificent plateau that lies east of the barrier of the Cascades. The plow land in Lake County ranges in price from 95 to $15 an acre, according to Mr. Hays, and is wonder fully fertile. "Lake County is just emerging from the period of stock grazing and enter ing the - period of farming develop ment." he says, "and In that county li some of the finest opportunities for the rran who wants to make a start that can be found in the United-States."

CASE OF DEER PUZZLES Japanese Vonngster Is Believed to Have Escaped From Zoo. The reported capture at Oswego of a young Japanese deer has aroused a suspicion on the part of Park Superin tendent Convill that the animal was j born and weaned at Washington Park zoo. and escaped before park keepers learned of its birth. In no other way can Mr. Convill account for the pres ence of the animal in this part of the country. Mr. Convill was informed yesterday that the deer is in the pound at Os wego. None of the Japanese deer at the zoo have escaped, and Mr. Convill says there were no other deer of that kind anywhere near Portland. He will go out today to investigate.
