Particular interest is expected to be manifested in the sales of rure-bred Holsteins, Guernseys and Jerseys. Animals have been pouring Into the expoFition grounds at such a rate during the past two days that offi cials of the show were unable yester day to give an adequate list of en tries.

Trophies presented by I'ortland Cattle Loan company and Columbia It as in Wool WarebouMe ompuf fur atovlt Judelnff. Among the trophies that will be given to winners at the Pacific Inter national Livestock exposition In Portland this week probably the most keenly contested will be those offered by the Portland Cattle Loan com pany and the Columbia Basin Wool Warehouse company In competition be tween student stock Judging teams. The trophies from each company will be awarded by judges acting under the rules of competition as outlined by the exposition to the teams having the highest marks in judging beef, types of cattle and sheep, respectively. The large cup in each of the two groups will go to the college repre sented by the winning team, to be held until next year's show and not to become the permanent possession of any school until won by the same institution three years in succession. The small cups in each group go as the permanent possession to each of the five members of the winning .team, and new sets of small cups will be provided by the two concerns in this com petition each year. The value of each set of cups presented by the Portland concerns is given as not less than 6 00. "These trophieshave been put up by the respective companies to en courage the raising of more sheep and cattle and a better quality of each,'" explained F. G. White of the Portland Cattle Loan company. "We are working through the young men who are making a study of animal hus bandry for the reason that they are the coming stockmen of the northwest, and it is upon them that we will have to depend in the future for our sup ply of beef, mutton and wool." Husband, Subject of Great Britain, Cause of Loss of Position With Court. What is believed to be the first steo In an effort to obtain naturalization papers was taken by Mrs. Mary K. Pringle, who lost, her position as pro bation officer of the court of domestic relations after appointment by Judge Jacob Kanzler because not a citizen of the United States, yesterday, when she filed a divorce suit against her husband. James R. Pringle. The Pringles were married in Bris tol, England, March 17, 1884, the hus band being Scottish. Although Mrs. Pringle has not seen her'husband for many years, the fact that he is a citi zen of Great Britain has proved a bar to her obtaining citizenship in this country, though she has been long public work here. He is still In Scotland, it is said. Mrs. Pringle has passed as an American for many years and signed an affidavit, while in the employ of he school department last year as attendance officer, to the effect that she was a citizen. Protest was made directly after her appointment by Judge Kanzler, however, on the grounds that she was not eligible to hold public office in Oregon as she was hot an elector, whether, the office bcelective or appointive. Divorced from her husband, Mrs. Pringle may make application for first papers, but it would be several years before the naturalization would be complete. Mrs. Pringle contends in her divorce action that the habitual use of intoxi cants by the husband she has not seen for numerous years has made her life burdensome, disagreeable and melancholy. A daughter, Ruth H. Pringle, Piedmont, Cal., is named. She formerly was a teacher in the local schools. judging is not taking place or some other feature is not occupying their attention, the students will act as lecturers and guides for the visitors. Vancouver has been named as head quarters for the students. A feature of the show will be the exhibit of dairy products and dairy machinery under the auspices of the Western Dairy Products show. This division of the exposition will be a show within a show, and dairy prod ucts and implements from 11 different states will be on display. Exhibits to Be Grouped. These exhibits will be grouped In the central arena, 110 front feet of display space having been provided. Daily lectures will be held in a hall just off the auditorium, accompanied by moving pictures of various stages of the dairy industry. Headquarters of the Pacific Inter national Livestock exposition were moved yesterday afternoon from the Northwestern Bank building to the exposition grounds, where they will be maintained during the continua tion of the show. . Street cars will operate direct from the downtown district, to the exposi tion, according to a joint traffic ar rangement which has been completed between the Portland Railway. Light & Power company and the Kenton Traction company. Beginning Monday and- lasting throughout the week the stock show cars will run on Broad way to the exposition and will bear the following signsr "This car direct to the stock show."

GRANGE SHIES AT UNIONS INVITATION LABOR OF ORGANIZED IS DECLINED, Representatives of 600,000 Amer lean Farmers in Session Vote No on Proposed Alliance. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Nov. 15. Through their representatives 600,000 American farmers and their wives to day declined to form an alliance with union labor. By 'an overwhelming vote the national grange, in conven tion here, adopted, in reply to an in vltation extended by Samuel Gompers for a conference, the following resolution: ine national grange declines your invitation for a conference in Wash ington December 13." The Gompers letter had been re ferred to a committee and after three days' discussion that body late today reported. Members declared that at- tenaance at any such conference was fraught with peril to the grange. Few voices were heard in support of the invitation and these were from west ern members. It was brought out by opponents that there was nothing in common between the agricultural in terests and organized labor. To at tend the Washington meeting, it was declared, would be a tacit admission that there were mutual interests. The report as adopted was not the one submitted by the committee. Th latter was a pleading of the case o agriculture as well as a refusal of ih Gompers proffer. It was signed by live or the six members. Mrs. Brouck of Washington state did not sign. Finally two substitutes were of fered. The one adopted is given above. CLEANUP DRIVE IS TOMORROW Workers Visit 3 00 Prospects and Ask Each for $100.

Van Duzer, president of the Chamber of Commerce; Marshall Dana, president of the Ad club; Herman Von Borstel. president Realty Board; Ira L. Riggs, president Progressive Business Men's club, and L. P. Hewitt, president Kiwanis club.

Gllman, director of the Puget Sound district of the northwestern re gion of the United States railroad ad ministration, yesterday advised the federal managers of the railroads In his territory to regulate the distribu tion of coal so that there can be no preferred customers' list.
