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.

Besides. Mrs. Watklns wants to vote.
"If they don't get the suffrage in

I want to vote and think I have

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
