POULTRY HIGHER Great Advance in Quality of Stock in Last Five Years Is Revealed. BIG CROWDS SEE DISPLAY Exhibitor Declares There Is Belter Market for High-Price Birds Than for Cheaper Varieties. Final Awards by Judges. Merrill's. Hall, at Seventh and Oak tree's, continues to be the clams of fash ion and the mold of form, the observed of all observer. If you can iudge from the. crowds. Have you seen the Chicken BHomrJ You are not In the swfm if you haven't. You wtll be la- the swim if you go. Groups of Interested observers gath ered about On Judges and the copps yes terday and enloved the novel sights and incidents to their hearts content. AndVall ' around and about them roosters to the right of them, ;otr to the left of thorn, roosters in front of them "volleyed and thundered" In a chorus of vociferous crowing. One of the noted breeders, an Oregoninn. and close to Portland, remarked yesterday the difference b?tween the poultry situ Uon In th Pacific Northwest five years ago and now. "The Western breeders liave waked up for certttln." he betran. "Why. It's hard to sell a common bird nowadays. I can sell all my beft birds faster than I can raise them. Birds that bring $2i to t."A My Vi chickens are much harder to dispose of. Put It down as a fact, and an encouraging fart, that West ern breeders Insist on having the bst stock money can buy. Why. only five minutes ago a neighbor of mine sold a hen for M. And she wasn't sold for a stew, either. And then take that White Plymouth cock owned by Krebs-Reynolds Poultry Farm, an Oregon-bred bird. Judge Iienny ralues him at llftO. What say? Yes. old Luctillus himself woulil Ijave called him a high-priced "table bird," I guess. Poultry in Three Classes. "Of course." continued he. Vthc primary object of this show Is to raise breeding tock to supply the better grades of birds for meat and eggs. It. Isn't an association of fanciers raising fancy fowls at fancy prices, but a bed-rock proposition of rais ing the best chickens possible for egg getters and meat producers. Purely prac tical, nothing ornamental about it. Now we might put the chickens into three classes. The Americans, including Plym outh Rocks, Wyandotte and Rhode Isl and Reds. They " are the medlum-sisMi birds, and raised both for meat and eggs. Then take the Leghorns, Minorca and Hamburg j. They excel in egg-producing qualities, but are smaller In size. You se there's science In this chicken business. They weed out the poor layers and put them Into dressed poultry and breed from the best layers. Just as your horseman breeds for speed with bis fastest sires and mares. Then you take the birds which are raised almost entirely for market, or 'dressed poultry purposes.' and you about finish the classes. Except, to be sure, the 'game chickens' raised for, as I was saying, there you have it. Now a small breed of hens will lay a big enough egg. and they can be fed for less than a big breed. The advocates of the bigger stock point out. and justly, that they get more meat on their birds and thus offset the advantage, by having more meaf to sell. 'The future of the poultry Industry is simply immense here In Oregon and the Northwest." he continued. "Profits are much greater here than In the East and ' the Middle West, and while feed Is a little higher, the cost of feed is vastly more than overcome by the scale In pro tit. Curious about chickens. A drop or a rise In temperature will affect their egg-producing powers, and an even tetn " perature, even If warm or cold, does not " bother them. Roup Is the disease we breeders fear most- Sounds like 'croup.' doesn't It- It's a sort of diphtheria Caused by a cold, and neglect. Odd im pression the public has that chickens eat gravel to grind their food with. Lord bless you. the gastric juices In a chicken's craw will dissolve broken glass. Fact, - aa rare as you live. A chicken eats gravel so that the gravel may dissolve and become mineral food. They dissolve gravel artificially and ' feed it to them, and get the same results. Steady Demand for Product. - "Chickens have to get mineral food, and shells, lime, etc., to assist in form ing the shell. There's 'a steady demand for the best in eggs and poultry. Why, I went Into one of the largest markets In Portland and saw chickens marked 17 cents a pound, dressed. I totd the pro prietor I could furnish him some fowls, but not at that price, even If it was the price to the buyers. Erlng 'em In, said he. I fetched in some of my milk-fed soft oats-feed birds, dressed, fat, young, tender and heavy. What do you want for'em, he says? Twenty-two cents, says I. Give me all you've got. lie said. He sold them for 30 cents a pound snd couldn't begin to ' supply the demand. PeVple will pay liberally for 'gilt-edged' chickens where they kick at skinny and poorly-fed fowls-. Good stoik brings good produce. Mind that. And Western chicken men are alive to that fact." Talking with Miss Moore, the repre sentative of Commercial Poultry, the mid Weatern magaxlne authority, she raid the show was the "most suo-esM n1 she had attended In the live years of her experience In the Northwest. Better grades, more birds, and a keener in terest. "People can make more money that way than anyway else." said Miss Moore, "when they have a small area of ground, aad cannot engage In hard manual labor. It's a great field for women, and they are golrg Into It. And the Pacific Northwest Is an Ideal place for the business. Just think of H. in the Middle West, the aver age price per dozen for eggs tljf. year round la say IS cents: for dressed poultry say 10 to 1 cents- . Here the average for ' eggs Is. say cents, and tor dressed poultry, say to 25 cents.' and even higher, of course, both In eggs and poul try when special gilt-edge produce Is marketed." City People Show Interest. , Judge Denny and Judge Northrup have "hefted" several tons of chicken since ' the show started, and their courtesy. to Inquirers and to exhibitors has been one of tho pleasant features of the affair. A really remarkable degree of interest has been shown, even among the "r-lty folks." those hsrd-worked "slaves of the lamp" who dream of "chicken farms," and rustic stmpllHty what time, they pound .way on the trend-mill of urban drud- for tbo colored visitors.

MONTREAL Jan. IB. The situation as regards J. J. Hills threatened Invasion of Western Canada, as announced from Winnipeg. Is understood by railroad men to be the same as it was before the gen eral depression interrupted the activity In railroad construction. Mr. Hill has considerable land in Winnipeg, which was intended to be used as terminals for the new lines that were to be built from the border up to tne city, under a charter which was to be obtained by Canadian promoters. Parliament has not yet grant ed the charter and nothing has been done to give particular effect to the scheme. BT. PAUL, Jan. 16. President L. W. Hill, "of the Great Northern Railroad, on being asked regarding the truth of the statement that the Great Northern Rail road would Invade Winnipeg and extend its lines west through Manitoba to the Coast, said: "It has been known for some time that we have acquired about J2.O0O.000 worth of terminal property In Winnipeg, also I that we are asking for a charter from the Canadian government for the. right to construct a line from the Canadian boundary Into Winnipeg, a distance of about 70 miles. It Is not true that we are going to bflild a line to St. Paul and Min neapolis for we already run to the Can- adian boundary from here. As to the western exienmou m i'iuii, we uavu had construction work going on there for a long time. There Is really nothing new at all." More Ice at Hillsboro. HILLSBORO, Or.. Jan.' 16. (Special.)

In what was, perhaps, the roughest game, of basketball seen In Portland this year, tho local association five was victor last night over the Y. M. C. A. team from Tacoma by . the score of 38 to 13. The game was rough from the start and called for repeated penalties. Prompt wor k by Referee McCord. of Multnomah Club, helped to keep the game In check, but McCord was unable to call more than half the fouls Incurred. Sweeney took the place of Young, the regular center. In the hrst half. Muckle playing guard. While Morton, of Tacoma, had a. little the better of the toss-up, Sweeney more than outset this by gen eral play. His passing was beyond re proach and he played, with the exception pf Hartman, quite the cleanest game of the evening. Young, who- made his ap nearance at the beginning of the second half, also' played a good game, although- nbt free from fouls. Fter Tacoma, Morton 'and Kent piayea a good game and Morton was less guilty than his fellows of "roughing." There was little evidence of team work among the men from the Sound and they were unable to make the simplest baskets. Out of the numerous fouls called on Portland, Cook and Mills were guilty of only two apiece, while Hartman, for Portland, in the first half, made good nine out of ten foul throws. In basket-throwing, Morton made sev eral very pretty long shots and had ex ceedingly poor luck in several others, while Cook, consluered to be the Tacoma star, failed tO'justify his reputation, miss ing both fouls, throws and baskets.

EXPECT JEFFRIES TO FIGHT His Change of Reply Taken as Good Omen by Boxing Enthusiasts.

Jim Jeffries, accompanied by nts wue. arrived today from Los Angeles, and the major portion of the afternoon was given to posing for newspaper photographers and to answering questions. Will you return-to the ring for another fight?", was the first thing asiceu. I don't think so." was the reply. 1 don't believe I will ever get Dacn into my fighting togs." ' "It's tough, thougn. lie museu, m have a nigger champion. But if I ever was to meet mat ienow juinmuu i v.,m want to be in the best posslhie snape. This change In Jeff's attitude from posi tive "no." to "I don't think so." struck all sports here as important, for it shows If Jeffries feels he can get deck into con dition he will be ready for a fight wun Johnson. It means Jeffries will eventu ally fight: that he has that very thing In mind, and will make announcement whenever he believes he has rounded into shape. Everything tends to this view of the matter. When the big fellow stripped today, his shape was a surprise to those who Had a chance to look him over. There is a layer of fat around the stomach that would have to come off. but that cuuld be easily reduced by road work.

Mc Farland can have a go at the light weight title I hold if the purse is worth while. I'm going out a lot of one-night stands with fight pictures.
