AMONG all the I50A Jisr.a or live
stock, horses, cattle, sheep, ewlnt
and feature stuff, probably the
most notable entry In the lists of the
first annual Pacific. 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.
No. 2 McQueen's Pride, dam and
aire of this beautiful animal were
champions at the 1905 Fair in this
city.
i No. 3 Pet Bayne and Darkey
Bayne, a perfectly matched pair .
weighing S600 pounds, .pure-bred
draft; mares of the finest type.
No. 4 Lady Jane, No. 8418, weight ,
one ton. A prize winner since her
first appearance at the State Fair In .
North Dakota in 1904, and a cham
pion and grand champion at the
Lewis and Clark Fair in 190S.
No. 5 Blossom, a 4-year-old, and
one of-the prettiest entries, Clydes
dales, yet received.
No. 6 Glen Gordon Maid. No.
13.69T, yearling filly, weight 1200. one
of the finest horses In her class as
yet listed In the local show.
ahow stock which will be Judged and of the Northwest will offer horses and
offered for ale. the following breeders cattle In the combination sale of Sep
tember 24-25: Craiglelea Stock Farm,
Wilson Stock "Farm, J. 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.

LURED INTO WILD WEST
Rich Man's Son. Runs Away After
Reading Dime Xovels.
CHICAGO, 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

he disappeared from his home, two
months ago. He was accustomed to
wearing long trousers, and could pass for
more than 15. The scenes of the last nov
