National Show. which Is scheduled here for the week of September 21-26. will be the offerings of the Glen Gordon Farm, of Dundee, listed by J B. Gordon Sons. The en tries from this farm will embrace the best display of Clydesdale horses found West of the Rocky Mountains, and In cluded In the entries are grand cham pions, champions and prize-winners. That these animals are of superior quality Is assured from the fact that each of the half dozen livestock shows In the North Pacific circuit has asked to have tnese horses entered, but the only places In which they will be shown will be at the Oregon "State Fair, at Salem, the week of September 14-19, and- at Portland the following week. Following the judging of these Clydesdales In the ring at the local meet, they will be sold In the combina tion -aie which Is to be held Thureday and Friday. September 24-25, and tha farmers of Oregon will have the chance of picking up .this fancy stock without reserve, except tha famous grand cham pion stallion Royal McQueen. In tha llsta are the unest array of pure-bred Clydesdale mares that have ever been shown in the Northwest, and it Is stuff of this character that is in the greatest demand among the draft-horse breeders of the state, so that the Glen Gordon offerings are looked upon as some of the most important ones of the local meet. Included In the list are horses which have won first prizes at the Winnipeg fairs: firet prizes, championships and grand championships at the Lewis and Clark Fair. In Portland, others which have won similar distinction at recent Oregon State Fairs. J. B. Gordon, senior member of the firm of J. B. Gordon & Sons, and presi dent of the Bank of Newberg Immedi ately following the show here will go to Europe to purchase a complete line of Clydesdales and English Shire honses, and will visit Scotland for the purpose of picking up a fine array of Shetland ponies, and will star: the largest Shetland stud In the state. Aside from this magnificent list of No. 1 Royal McQueen, winner of the first prize in a large class at the Winnipeg .Dominion Fair, in 1904; first prize at Chicago International the following year; first prize winner at the Oregon State Fair In 191)6. and champion and grand champion at the Lewis and Clark Exposition in Portland In 1905.

C. Sabin, Lone Rock Stock Farm, Oak Creek Stock Farm, W. O. Minor, the foregoing being consignors of cattle; J. B. Gordon & Sons, Springslde Stock Farm, Gray & Chappell. F. E. Alley, Fred Brooker, to gether wlht a number of other record t and registered offerings. Many stockmen are bound to be dis appointed, for the reason that this e- lect sale is limited to 50 head of horses and an equal number of cattle, while nearly double this list has already been offered. The lists close tomorrow night. and It will remain for the promoters of the sale to select the stock which will be put on the 'block, reservation being made to refuee all entries which are not considered up to quality. The first race and livestock meet of the North Pacific Circuit closed at Belllngham, Wash., last night, and the horses and exhibits move on to Ever ett, Wash., for the Snohomish County Fair, beginning Tuesday. The opening week saw nearly 250 harness racere entered In the various events, and this list will be increased the coming week. for the "reason that the many county fairs that are now being held In the Northwest are developing green racers which are clamoring to get into the late closing entries, and If the first week's races are any criterion, both early and late purses will offer the classiest kind of sport by the time the harness horses reach Portland. MRS. M. L. WOODCOCK THREATENS TO OPEN TAFT HEADQUARTERS Unable to Find State Republican Managers, She Flans to Bun Oregon Campaign on National Issues Herself. BY CLARK H. WILLIAMS. THE man whose party went off and left him. so that he Is still voting for Andrew Jackson, would make splendid company for Mrs. M. L. Wood cock right now. Mrs. Woodcock, suf fragette, vlvandiere. or whatever the right word Is. Is very peevish over the fact that the Republican managers In this state seem to be planning the Taft cam paign without Including her and her "Rooeenfelt flag" In their calculations. Unless they are careful, she taints darkly, Oregon will be shoved Into the Demo cratic column Just for that. The Republican party In thU state Is In hiding, believes Mrs. Woodcock, for she cannot find the headquarters. Yes terday she got an early start from home and wandered over the whole city, ask ing where the Taft agitation had es tablished Itself. Nothing doing. Might as weU auk the vagrant winds that bowl up the Willamette, for elevator boys, cit izens and politicians alike told her they did not know of any such place. New everybody knows you can't run m political campaign without headquarters. Mrs. Woodcock, from her rich experience In things political. Is wise to that salient necessity of swinging a state for the heir apparent. It is up to somebody, believes Mrs. Woodcock, to open headquarters, pass out cigars and lithographs and jolly the workers along and organize the com mon "peepul." Deploring the schism In the party and fearful that neither Cakej nor Fulton can win the state for Taft, Mrs. Woodcock announces she herself will open Taft headquarters and, like another Joan of Arc, will lead the Republican hosts on to victory. Where the headquarters will be, she does not yet know. She talks about the state fair as being a good place, but this point Is a mere detail that remains to be fixed. "I made T. Rooeenfelt a success," mod estly announced Mrs. Woodcock yester day, "and if I had gone out for Taft In the same way I would have made the campaign go. I look at It as missionary work and I feel it my duty to come out and work for Taft" When the big candidate was in Port land. Mrs. Woodcock was on the Job and sought to get audience with him about the conduct of the National cam paign in Oregon. The trusty followers of Taft fended the woman away from big Bill and Mrs. Woodcock .had to mount a chair and shout out her instructions to her latest affinity. "When Taft spoke, I was there with my Roosenfelt flag." said she. In telling of the incident. "I clumb up on a chair to get to see him and he said with his own words that I helped out a good deal with my Roosenfelt flag and that he was glad I was there to represent President Roosenfelt with my. Roosenfelt flag." Mrs. Woodcock has Just returned from Newport. While . away from home she did not forget the claims of the National campaign upon her time. Not she. At the Summer resort she found that every one was for Taft and she got Taft inspi ration from the very ozone In the air. On the way back to Portland she stumped Lincoln County for Taft from the rear platform of the Corvallis & Eastern cold molasses special. Throngs of residents of the county, assembled at the stations to watch the train thunder on its way, were spellbound to see Mrs. Woodcock making a campaign speech. As the en tire population of the county gathers at the railroad stations at train time, she admits that her work was singularly effective. Exonerates Denver Promoter. DENVER, Aug. 29.

Washington Frank lin Schott, 15 years old, son of Joseph F. Schott, a West Side millionaire, has been missing Bince June 11. Filled with ro mantic notions garnered from the perusal of "Wild West" etories, he left home on that day. He told his playmates he was going. West to shoot buffalo and kill In dians.
