Oregon City boasted of tha beauty of Its woman and their appearance at this ball did not bell tha assertion. Hoop skirts war worn, and tarlcton was th favorite material for ball dresses. Often tn those dsys women nt balls changed their dress at 13 o'clock, whan they wtabed. to display an extensive ward robe. Among tha guests were Miss Frank that have won first prises la th most I famous egg-laying contests of the world. Th Tom Barroa flocks wer devel oped by trap-nested stock for a longer urn than any others In this contest snd have proven their excellent quali ties tn many contests under many varying conditions.

Supper was served at midnight at the Oregon Houfte. at Fourth and Water streets, where the Hawley paper mill now stands. After refreshments, dsncing wss re sumed. About 3 o'clock a cry of "Fire! Fir! was heard. A store adjoining th Hudson Bay building was burning. Tha ballroom was deserted. In those days an old-fashioned hsnd fire engine was used. The few volunteer firemen worked manfully. Ever one helped to carxr out goods, while tha women served coffe. but without sufficient water It was Impossible to save the buildings, and but two were left on that side of the street, one being the more favorable. Thousands cf visitors ar said by the Exposition officers to pass through the poultry department daily, and since the pens are small and tha alleys separating the hens from tha crowds are narrow the hens lack tha retirement and quiet that are often necessary to the best laying. It Is a fact not always understood that the management and feeding of tha different pena are in the hands of tha Exposition officers and that all the fowls are treated alike. It has frequently been asked whether the col lege flocks are gtven''treatment differ ing In any way from that of the others. or ir they are fed and managed ac cording to Professor Dryden's methods. The answer Is, that such Is not the caae. Ha has no.more to do with the management and feeding of the pens from tha college than has any other outsider. The contest Is under the management of the University of Cali fornia and no other poultrymen. The rations fed to the contesting hens were selected by the university poul trymen In charge of the contest and are given to all pena alike.

Mrs. Watki?is came here this Summer to visit her brother. I. J. Gordon, and she has be come so enthusiastic over Oregon that she is thinking of settling up her bus iness affairs and coming here to live. Besides. Mrs. Watklns wants to vote. "If they don't get the suffrage in New York, I shall surely come West. I want to vote and think I have right to. don't you? Why can't the Eastern men let us vote? I hear that nearly all the prominent men who have come West this Summer and have seen how successful suffrage is are converted." Business Woman . Entirely Feminine. The only woman of the "200,000 Club" of one of the big insurance companies. Isn't of a masculine type. She isn't bossy or tiresome or bold or fussy. She Is tactful, charming, womanly and businesslike. That is, she would be businesslike if she were on business bent. Had she been I would have had my life insured by this time- for I'm sure she would be irresistible, I fancy it is her logic and directness that ap peal to the men and women who take policies with her. jnow sne is taking tnree monins on and is having a pleasure trip in com pany with her daughter. Miss Florence B. Watklns. Secrets Mastered Quickly. "We are In raptures oyer Portland, its scenery, its climate and its delight ful people. Everyone is so hospitable," PRICE FUG IS LUTED MARKETING BUREAU CHIEF SAYS GROWERS MAY TAKE ACTIOX. Union of Co-operative Organisations, However, Is Declared to Be Out side Limits of Law. LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 21. (Spe cial.) The Northwest Growers' and Shippers' League, organized last Fall by the fruit-growing districts and by the principal fruit-shipping agencies of the Pacific Northwest, cannot legally control and fix the price of Northwest ern fruit, is the opinion of Charles J. Brand, head of the bureau of market ing and rural organization, Washing ton, D. C, who has been traveling throughout this district, . He said: Any body of erowers or stockholders In a concern can agree upon prices and market ing practices under the provisions of the Federal laws, but the amendment to tha sixth section of the anti-trust law, popularly Quoted aa exempting farmer - and labor unions from the nrovisions of th trust law, simply restores the rights of any Individual corporation to these organizations oi farmers or laborers.. A co-oneratlve fmltrrowinr organization can act in the aame manner aa the 2SOO stockholders of the steel corporation. The limits of the law are passed, however, when several of these co-operative units com to .ether and attemnt to control Drlces. A parallel of the present situation Is found in the caae of the lima bean growera of California, who were warned by th bureau aome time ago that they were vio lating the anti-trust laws when tney at tempted to control the prices of an entire district by the combination of primary units. Mr. Brand recently established a marketing office in North Yakima, placing two representatives of his bureau in charge to provide reliable marketing Information gathered from all parts of the United states, lie nas recently extended the work to a much larger scale throughout the Northwest, WILD WEST SHOW PLANNED Touchet Valley Fair Association Ar ranges for Roundup.

Special prizes are to be offered broncho riders and for steer bulldog ging, pony races, relays and chariot races. Klaiuuth Births Outnumber Deaths. KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Aug. 18. (Special.) The books of Dr. L. L. Truax of this city. County Health Offi cer, show that since January 1,"-1916, there have been 83 births In Klamath VS 1 said Mrs. Watklns. "Of course." she added, "we are interested in wanting to Jive here because my brother and his wife' are her and their dear baby. Doris Leigh Gordon, that wonderful grand prize baby. We want to be near her and we want to vote. I am sure I could make good in the West." Mrs. Watklns found herself suddenly forced to work for a living. Her hua band is a helpless Invalid a nd her dauehter had to be educated and sup ported. Someone suggested that she write insurance. She didn't know how. but she must have been quick to learn, for In the first five months she took more than 3100.000 worth of insurance. and every year since has made the 3300,000 club. No other woman is on the list of members. All the hundreds of others are men. Return Depends on Vote. Now that Miss Watklns is a grown young woman and is able to teachj school and can sing beautifully, her mother feels that the battle has not been In vain. She has demonstrated what one woman can do. And she is still young in appearance. When they came by steamer through the Panama Canal and at the exposition in San Francisco they were frequently asked if they were sisters. They will go to the Canadian Rockies and the Yellowstone and Mrs. Watkins will attend the convention In Glen- wood Springs, Colo., September 11-15. After that ahe will go back to New- York and work for suffrage and Ore gon and get back to work. And if they don't 1st her vote, she'll just pack up her things and come right back to Portland, where the women have a right to cast the ballot. County, as against 33 deaths reported. Thirty-four of the new born were girls and 55 were boys, there being one pair of twin boys among the number. No contagions diseases were reported during the month of July.
