the. grounds behind their own band
and were piloted by announcers
through the exhibition tents. 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.

BY ADDISON BENNETT.
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

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.

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.

Hands tied by neutrality,
the American Legation
mutely witnessed
XT UGH GIBSON, first Secretary of our Legation in Brussels,
now that the ban of American neutrality is lifted, is able to
give us for the first time his own personal diary of Germany's occu
pation of Belgium. A true American book that has been sealed for
three years is now open before your eyes.
From his close-up position in the wings he watched the setting
of the historic stage, the dramatic rise of the curtain, and then the
full sweep of the fearful tragedy. His day by day jottings simply
but graphically make you live over with him the dynamic happenings
of those unreal days. Gibson's diary, prosaically titled "A Journal
From Our Legation in Belgium," begins publication in The Ore
gonian of Friday, November 23. It is perhaps the most gripping
narrative that has appeared since Europe burst into flames. If you
but read the opening entries you'll want to follow it through day by
day as it appears. It is going to give you some mighty interesting
reading, so don't miss the beginning. Order your Oregonian for
next Friday ahead of time and you won't be disappointed.
