William Constantine, proprietor of the Alder Market, at First and Alder streets, the successful bidder and purchaser of the te fine ani mals pictured above. They wen, on exhibition at the Pacific Northwest Livestock Show andare conceded to be the finest annals ever shown on the Pacific Coast. Record prices were paid, as is evidenced, when Mr. Constantino bid in E. W. Cole's champxon steer for $109, at an average of 26 cents per pound. This magnificent animal weighed 1550 pounds and is two years old, being raised in Haines, Oregon. The Grand Champion Heifer was raised by E. A.

I will have them on exhibition at my Alder Market for four days, where I invite everyone to caU and see them. They will be fed and groomed and prepared for slaughter, in time for. Easter Sunday. I will receive orders for choice roasts, steaks, etc., from these cattle for Easter. . 1V j . "These three head cost me approximately $900, an exceptionally high price, but such fine specimens cannot be secured every day. It is expected that thousands of people will call to see this grand exhibition Sunday and the following three days. aaaaaeaeeeaaaaaaeeewaaaaaaaeaasaeee . START IS SOUGHT New Paving Companies Find Field Hard to Enter. OLDER ' CONCERNS ACTIVE Majror Favors Widest Competition Possible, and Tells Granitoid Representative Street Com mittee Has Control. Finding tha atreeta of Portland nearly all "tied up" by other paving concerns, agents of the Granitoid Com pany have appealed to Mayor Simon for help. They want to get a start here, but have discovered that they are facing; a difficult situation. For yeara the representatives of the bltu lithlc, ssphalt and Hassan) materials have been actively engaged In can vassing the city from one end to the other, and they have either secured contracts or have petitlona In circu lation on nearly all available streets. A large amount of hard surface haa been laid since Mayor Simon took of fice two years ago,, and much more Is In prospect. Bis administration haa paid special attention to putting the streets Into first-class condition, and while there is a large area yat un paved, all available tracts have been pretty generally canvassed by tha companlea which have been In busi ness here for yeara. It la therefore difficult for a new company to get a start. Mayor Simon deolares he favors all possible competition in paving, but he haa informed the representatlvea of the Granitoid Company that It is the fault of the atreet committee of the City Council, chiefly, that there haa v, ni,h activity amona the as phalt, bltulithle and Hasaam people, I . Ll.h , V. .. . i. it nMrlv aa a reaun ui v mv.. ' - j everything under contract. The street committee initiates a large ma jority of the bard-aurface Improve ments, and in a great measure directs the policy to be purued in. this re gard. It is regarded aa the most Im portant committee in the Council. What's in a Name?

Get it in before Saturday, April 1. Address THE SEATTLE CARNIVAL ASSOCIATION, SEATTLE, WASH. 5 with the possible exception of the com mittee on ways and means. Just at this time the Granitoid Com pany and firms wishing to lay treated wood blocks are struggling to get a foothold. The wood blocks have the support .of the Mayor and several members of the Council, as well as City Engineer Morris, who says they make a fine pavement when properly laid. It now seems certain that blocks will be laid on East Morrison street, from East Water street to Union ave nue. The Granitoid Company tried to get this street last week, but had only a small petition from the property owners, whereas the wood block peo ple had 80 per cent. The City Coun cil, after a heated skirmish between Councilman Annand and Councilman Rushlight and Kubll, directed a new bid for wood blocks. Mr. Annand, who Is chairman of the street committee. Is strongly In favor of granitoid nowt but Rushlight and Kubll made a win ning fight for wood blocks. Jlr Mumm and Miss Still were married In Kansas City a few days ago, and no both are Mumm.
