complimented the Clackamas County
growers on the splendid quality of the
berries shown and gave exVellent advice
relative to cultivation.
Organize, Urges Mr. Pearson.
Sir. Glafke said that the growers
should find the berry best1 adapted to
the soil and location, and then special
ize on that particular berry in order that
cars containing one variety . could be
made up. He praised the quality and
condition of the berries of the county
and said there was no reason why Clack
amas County should not compete suc
cessfully with Hood River later on.
' Mr. Pearson urged the growers to or
ganize at once. He alluded to the Clark
Seedlings In the exhibit, and said he
.considered them as fine as the same
variety from Hood River, which spe
cializes on the Clarks. He emphasized
the importance of careful packing, and
said that berries, when crated, should
be arranged so as to present an excellent
appearance. Mr. Pearson illustrated his
advice by speaking of the exhibit of Ore
gon" berries, which while practically un
known as far as their commercial value
extends, had been awarded a prize be
cause' of their attractive appearance in
their crate.

RIVALRY IN PRIZE STOCK
BENTON COUNTY FARMERS GO
IX TO WIN REWARDS.
Lively Interest Stimulated by Cor
vallis Fair Exhibitors Sur
prised at Showing.
CORVAHJS, Or.. June 8. (Special.) A
record-breaking .crowd and a magnificent
display of fancy livestock were the fea
tures of the second and closing day of
tho Benton County Livestock Show. So
great has been the success and the recog
nition of the beneficial effects that a
show for next year and every year
thereafter Is as good as determined upon,
being in the minds of all stockmen. The
competition for prizes developed into a
etrenuouslty that astonished the general
committee, and as a result of it scores
of exhibitors who were beaten for first
places are leaving for home tonight, de
claring to their friends that they are
going to commence now to prepare for
next , year's show, and with a determina
tion to win first places.
It It a common remark on the street
that the stock on display averages up
with that exhibited at the state fair. The
standard Is so high that the show has
been a revelation, not only to visitors
from abroad, but to all people residing
in the county. A feature is that the 'ex
hibits come from so many farms, show
ing that attention to the best grades of
thoroughbreds is widespread and not con
fined to a few notable farms. The en
tries so far exceeded the expectations of
the committee that additional silver cups
have to be ordered to satisfy the claims
of prizewinners.
A writer on an Oregon farm paper who
is here, and who visits all livestock shows
for his publication, declares the exhibits
of horses, cattle and sheep have been
splendid, and that the horses and beef
cattle equal the best standards anywhere.
The crowd in attendance today was
estimated at 6000.

Mlllowners comment on the lumber out
look as follows:
W. B. Hack, of the Slade mill, says
there will be no shut down. Only one
side of the mill Is running, but the other
side 'will soon resume. His mill j.111 run
regardless of present conditions, at least
six months.
Tho manager of the Union Lime Com
pany says his mill is closed for neces
sary repairs, but that- the market con
ditions are such that he will not state
just when he will be able to open.
A. J. West, of the A. J. West Lumber
Company, says It is impossible to tore
cast the future. At the present time,
coastwise sales . are practically at a
standstill.

Wood Lumber Company, states that his
mill has orders ahead for some time, and
there is no immediate prospect of a shut
down of the plant.

ers, cedar loggers, declares the cedar
market is the best It has been for two
years. The only handicap is the shortage
of cars. Mr. Caldwell believed that it
is a good time for people to be cautious,
but that there is no reason to be scared.
Various mills which have logging camps
of their own are members of the Log
gers' Association, and are holding up the
price of logs, which seriously handicaps
the operation of mills that have no log
ging camps In connection.
The Anderson & Middleton " mill -was
closed tonight for repairs.
ROAD POLL TAX IS UPHELD
Judge Galloway Decides Against
vMan Who Contests Payment.
SALEM, Or., June 8. (Special.)
Judge William Galloway rendered a de
cision today in the case of the City of
Salem against N. Mofflt, in which he
upholds the road poll tax law. There
has always been doubt as to the valid
ity of such a law, for the reason that
it Is a personal tax and not a property
tax, and men over 45 and volunteer
firemen are exempted. The Constitu
tion provides that taxation shall be
equal, and It Is contended by many
that this law violates that provision.
In rendering his decision. Judge Gallo
way did not discuss the questions of
law Involved. It is altogether prob
able that the case will be appealed to
the Supreme Court, as that was the
Intention when the case was begun.
The outcome will be of wide impor
tance, for road poll taxes have been
collected for many years In every part
of the state.
