There were 800 of them, 50 of whom were visitors, the remainder local officials .and employes. Fully 160 of the number were women and youngr women. It re quired 18 coaches to transport the rail road visitors to North Portland, and they enjoyed tea In the private cars at tached to the train before leaving the grounds. First Sale Is Held. Just prior to the arrival of the traf fic, delegation a group of Rotary Club members arrived at the grounds and were shown the sights. These visiting delegations saw the show at the height of its activity. Yesterday afternoon the first of the series of sales was held. This was the auctioning of pure-bred hogs, with R. "W. Hogg, of Salem. Or., as director, and "Colonel" J. W. Hughes, of Forest Grove, Or., as auctioneer. The sale proved eminently successful. A choice array of registered pure-breds of lead ing breeds were sent before the buyers and prices ruled high. Idaho Wins First. Announcement was made of ratings in the student judging contest of Mon day, the University of Idaho quintet capturing first place with an aggre gate grade of 2140 points. The Ore gon Agricultural College team ranked second with a rating of 2116, while third honors went to the Washington State College boys, who were graded at 2093 points. The possible score was 2500 points. The cash prizes were 7o, $65 and $55, respectively. The highest score was made by Troy Lindley, of Washington, whose total was 452 of a possible 500 points. Alvin . S. McCormack, of Idaho, was second and Maurice V. Davison, of Idaho, ranked third. For the best record in scoring sheep J. Gregory Laull, of the Oregon Agri cultural College, won the special prize hung up by the American Shropshire Association a share of the associa tion's stock. The trophy of the National . Duroc-Jersey Record Association for the best judging of swine went to Mr. Davison of the Idaho squad. In the large judging ring the placing of Shorthorn entries was in swing throughout the entire day, for the en tries in this cattle division were the largest by far ever gathered at the show. They numbered 300, and in some of the classes there were as many as SO specimens to parade their type and fit ness before Judge William Hartnett. Judge J. C. Kinzer had somewhat of an easier task in placing ribbons on the Hereford cattle, but here again the classes were frequently large. Win nings were widely distributed among Oregon, Idaho and Montana exhibitors. Animals from the herd of A. B. Cook, Townsend, Mont., bore off 12 firsts for leading honors. This was no surprise, as Mr. Cook's herd -has taken many championships at the Chicago Interna tional and the American Royal, at Kansas City, Mo. Sheep Judging Dome. Entries of Henry Thiessen were , awarded several of the big prizes In the Hereford class, with George Chand ler, of Baker, Or., a close competitor and a winner in many divisions. The judging of sheep by Professor William Hislop and Professor O. C. Nelson was largely completed yester day. The rating of Cotswolds, Ram bouillets, Dorsets and Hampshires was finished and the awards announced. Showings pronounced superlative were in evidence throughout the day In the horse-Judging divisions. Judge S. H. Shannon completed the unenvi able task of placing awards for the Percherons and Belgians. In the Percheron class there was un usually stiff competition, with A. C. Ruby. Portland breeder and exhibitor, bearing away the topnotch premiums. Mr. Ruby's entries were again much to the fore in the Belgran class. Among other first-place Belgian winners were A. B. Riddell. of Addy, Wash., and S. Metz & Sons, of Pendleton, Or. Bamqnet Is Enjoyed. Last night the swine breeders attend ing the show, breeders from Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon, enjoyed their annual banquet at the Portland Hotel. E. E. Faville, editor of the Western Farmer, acted in the capacity of toastmaster, and optimistic and help ful talks were given by many of the breeders present. Tonight will be held the annual ban quet of the Shorthorn Breeders' Asso ciation, one of the largest affairs of the kind taking place at the annual expositions, the organizations number ing 200 members, .most of whom are attending the show this year. Arrange ments are in charge of President Frank Brown and Secretary E. L. Potter, and It will be held at the Portland Hotel. Ad Club Will Attend. Portland Ad Club members will help swell the crowd at the stockyards to day. Meeting at the Hotel Benson at 11:30 o'clock, this big delegation will be taken to North Portland in auto mobiles in time to enjoy luncheon at the stockyards headquarters building at 12:05 o'clock. Just prior to the banquet of the swine growers last night a conference of Idaho, Oregon and Washington agri cultural institution instructors and the student judging team was held at the Portland Hotel to plan an important undertaking. This Is nothing short of a permanent feeder demonstration to be Inaugurated at the North Portland market designed to teach growers and shippers the things they should know about livestock production and market ing. A similar demonstration Is a fixed feature of the big Eastern market cen ters, and Portland intends not to be behind other cities, in this enterprise. Visitors at the exposition today will witness the judging of car lots of fat cattle, the continuance of Judging in horses and sheep sections and sales of Ayrshire cattle and fat cattle. Camp bell's American band is In constant attendance on the grounds, discoursing music for the delectation of visitors. Following are the awards: Percherons.

THE Pacific International Livestock Show for the seventh consecutive year began Monday at the Port land Union Stockyards In North Port land and the attendance for a first day surpassed by far all previous first days. Just as the number and quality of the exhibits surpassed all of the previous shows, bringing the Portland show well up to the third place in this country, being exceeded only by the shows at Chicago and Kansas City. Monday the small army of expert judges were busy In going over the ex hibits and hanging the blue and In ferior ribbons on- the winners, and everybdoy -connected with the exhibits was likewise busy In getting their stock ready for the judging ring. But in spite of all confusion of the ordinary first day the large crowd of visitors had the opportunity of seeing and judging for themselves. And when, it is said that such an aggregation of fine stock was never before brought together west of the Missouri the statement is well within the bounds of truth. This Is true not only of the cattle but of the sheep, swine and horses, and especially true of the horses and cattle. No .such fat stock or breeding stock in the way of cattle was ever before shown in the Wgst, while In numbers well, there must be well on to 1500, head in. all of the exhibits, which, of course, includes the car lots of fat stock and young stock. Yesterday was a lovely day, but rain may come any day, as It did last year, and the owners of fine stock are greatly averse to showing their stock in the mud and rain. It will take a lot of floor space in a number of buildings to properly house the show. One of the tents used this year is 700 feet long, with four rows of stalls and pens run ning the whole length, and there are a number of other tents from 250 to 500 feet in length. In all the show almost makes a city, and, remember, a great many exhibitors are kept away by this tent arrangement. With adequate buildings Portland might soon have the second show In the country in place of the third. North Portland Is a town by Itself. It is not within the city limits of Port land, but It Is as much Portland as Albina or Sellwood. What would you say were I to tell you that there Is a bank In ITorth Portland with deposits of a million dollars? It is a fact that the Livestock State Bank there, which is much less than a year old, has de posits of that amount, and the Port land Cattle Loan Company, doing busi ness there, has $10,000,000 loaned out. This company turns Its money very rapidly and in October of this year Its turnover (money loaned and paid on loans) was almost $9,000,000. What would the average Portlander say if he were told that the Columbia Basin Wool Company, doing business Filly, 1 year old and under 2 First Folette, A. R. Hunter, Island City, Or.

Wash.; fourth, Baldwin Sheep Company, Hay Creek, Or.; there, has on hand IS. 000,000 pounds of wool and has made the North Port land market the largest In the United States, with the single exception of Boston? As to the great packing-house industries of the Union Meat Company, I will not go Into details about their business further than to say that it is by far the greatest plant of the kind in the West. In the state of Oregon there are 124 salaried postofflces, paying salaries from $1000 up to $6000 a year; how many of those offices would you guess offhand Is smaller than the North Portland office? That is, how many of the 124 postmasters get smaller sal aries? Only 19 of the Oregon offices do more business than the postoffice at North Portland. Does not that show that within Just a few years a won derful business has grown up there? One more fact: How many Portland people know that the great building housing the Portland Union Stockyards and its subsidiary offices is one of the finest office buildings in this vicinity? Yes, there is another fact known to but few Portland people, and that is that the industries of North Portland are housed along the water front and that any vessel that can get up the Willamette or Columbia can reach with safety North Portland. The steamer Bear has been there more than once. I am not saying these things to fill space nor for idle boasting. I am try ing to show that we have at our very doors in North Portland infant indus tries that are growing beyond the ken of most Portlanders, to the end that great flocks of our cltlztns may go out this year (the show does not close until Saturday afternoon) and Just see what is being done out there. It would be an eye-opener to nine-tenths of our people. The show Is free. No admission fees are charged the public, there are no "skin" games run In connection, no games of any kind; about the only thing you can buy there, aside from livestock, is something good to eat, at the hotels or restaurants. You owe It to yourself and to the city to take a half day off and go out there. The Mississippi cars take you direct, except one change at Ken ton, and there is a fine paved road every foot of the way for automobiles. The show this year has drawn ex hibits from eight states. One of the big exhibits is from the University of Cali fornia. Montana, Idaho and Washing ton, of course, each have many ex hibits. And these exhibitors, like those who ship their cattle and hogs here, are bound to spend a lot of money here, and the majority of them will do their banking here. As a business proposi tion these shows are well worth while and the people of Portland should look to it that the coming shows are well housed. And if the business men of Portland as a unit will go out and see the show and consider it in all of its bearings and ramifications the money for the necessary buildings will be forthcoming before another show date rolls around. fifth.

CO-OPERATION IS DEMANDED Eating Places That Do Xot Observe -Meatless Days Are Target. Those restaurants of the city that do not observe meatless and wheatless days, as outlined in the Hoover pro gramme are to get some uncomforta ble publicity. W. K. Newell, acting food adminis trator for Oregon, declares he' will pub lish their names and put them under the ban of the public displeasure in that way. Henry W. Kent, secretary and treas urer of the Portland Caterers' Club, which includes all the -leading cafe terias and dairy lunch establishments in the city, has announced his intent of obtaining names of recalcitrants for publication. Counsel for the Eastern railroads Informed the Interstate Commerce Commission that In addition to the lncreaaea Bought in the pending 1. per cent advance rate case, the roads would aoon apply for further increases of 15 per cent In class and commodity rates and probably for 10 cents a ton on coal and coke.

DUTIES ARE IMPORTANT Men for Local Legal Advisory Bodies Will Be Recommended by Quar tet Definite Xnmber of " State Boards Xot Fixed. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 20. (Special.) Ac tual construction of the state machin ery for the second draft got under way today when- Governor Withycombe ap pointed the members of the central ad visory board to handle the legal phases of the conscription act. The person nel of the .board Includes George M. Brown. Attorney-General, chairman: J. N. Teal. Portland-: Colonel Sam White. Portland, and Richard W. Montague. Portland. This cemtral advisory board is one of the most important links in the organ ized chain which will carry out the de tails of the second draft to their com pletion. , The initial and one of the principal duties devolving upon the central advisory board is the making of recommendations to the Governor as to who shall constitute the local legal ad visory boards. Number of Boards) Open. This portion of Its duties takes on added Importance from the fact that the central advisory board probably will have a large hand In determining how many local legal advisory boards are necessary to carry out the Idea of establishing the legal advisory boards. General Crowder, in his telegram of in structions, advised the chief executive that these local legal advisory boards should be established so as to be con venient to all of the men who are to come under the draft. It la to be the duty of these hoards to give general legal advice and practical assistance to all men coming under the draft. No definite number of boards for this state or any other has been fixed, the number to depend largely, according to the Instructions, upon local condi tions and the number of men involved. Board Is Permanent. ' In making' recommendations as to who shall constitute the local boards, as a natural corollary the number of boards to be constituted must be de cided upon. After receiving the recommendations of the central board the executive nom inates the men who are to constitute the local boards and they receive their actual appointment from the President. The central board, however, will not become extinct upon the creation of the local boards. It will still remain as an active entity to continually advise with and assist the local boards. The local boards, while they are to be made up of lawyers, with preferably a judge sitting with the lawyers as chairman, may also call In the assist ance of competent laymen. All Lawyers Asked to Help. All lawyers in the state are asked to assist in the work and to place them selves at the-disposal of the authorities In carrying out the work which will be involved in giving the men definite and clear ideas as to "the legal questions which will arise. Under the last draft considerable confusion was entailed through misun derstanding over the legal points con fronted in the new draft law. Under the plan now evolved these rough places will be smoothed away by a series of boards of three members each, composed of competent men, and spread throughout the state. While no definite decision has been reached, it is considered likely that In every county where there are any num ber of drafted men to be called out that quite a number of boards will be named to sit in different sections, so that no drafted man will have farther than a short Journey to secure all the informa tion and help he desires.
