OLYMPIA, -v Wash., Jan. 14. In
creasing Indications of the preva
lence of tuberculosis ttoolbng chickens
are reported by Supervisor L. C. Pel
ton' of the livestock division, depart
ment of agriculture. Inspections of
flocks have been made in Thurston
county recently showing a high per
centage of reactors, while the same
condition is reported from ottier
parts of the state.
One show flock of 52 birds tested
out 18 reactors, according to Dr. Pel
ton. All chickens that reacted be
came infected through tubercular
breeding stock added to the flocks,
through hatching chicks from infect
ed eggs or througn contact at fairs
and shows, it was said.
"We are attempting to get at the
root of the trouble at once," said Dr.
Pelton, "in order to prevent further
spread of the disease.. There is, of
course, no hope of saving the Infect
ed stock and the birds must be killed
at once. The signs of tuberculosis in
chickens are loss In weight, pale
comb and general droopiness in the
last stages.
"Dressed poultry should b exam
ined carefully and where the liver
seems infected there is danger of
tuberculosis."

Keen Interest Declared Shown . In
Flat Property, Especially
on East Side.
Keen interest Is beginning to be
shown in apartment-house and flat
property throughout the city and par
ticularly on the east side, and the
coming spring promises to be un
usually active In building circles In
theee two classes of property, ac
cording to E. J. Lowe, head of the lot
department of Rltter, Lowe & Co.,
realtors in the Board of Trade build
ing. The realty firm closed two deals
for this character of property last
week, Mr. Lowe announced, both of
which, mean the erection of high-class
apartment buildings.
The first sale reported was that of
a lot 100 by 100 feet in size at the
corner of East Twenty-second and
Schuyler streets, In the Irvington dis
trict, Neil Banks purchasing the
property from J. F. Meyers, with Rlt
ter, Lowe & Co. handling the deal.

will erect a four-flat building of the
colonial type on the property to cost
in the neighborhood of 425.000. It
was announced. Construction will
start within a few weeks. The struc
ture is being put up by Mr. Banks
entirely as an investment.
The second sale is that of a lot 55
by 100 feet In size on the corner of
East Twenty-third and East Madison
streets. The property was trans

tain 12 apartments. Construction
work on this building, which Is to
be put up as an investment by Mr.
Robison, also will start shortly.
"Under present conditions this
form of investment is expected to
yield an excellent return," said Mr.
Lowe. "One of the features of the
real estate market since the first of
the year has been the interest shown
In apartment-house and flat prop
erty and present indications point to
1922 as one of the- best periods for
many years in construction of these
classes of property."

An eight-story brick building of a
new type to be devoted to business
establishments and specialty shops
will replace the present four-story
structure now occupied by the J. K.
Gill company at the northwest corner
of Third and Alder streets, according
to 'announcement made last night by
I. Holsman of I. Holsman & Co., who
is owner of the property.
Plans for the new structure, which
will cost in the neighborhood of $200,
000, are now being prepared by Clau
sen & Claussen, architects.
The J. K. Gill company has a lease
on the present structure running until
January 15 of next year with privi
lege of renewal for another year.
The Improvement work consequently
cannot be taken up until this lease
expires, but Mr. Holsman Is making
every preparation for starting con
struction immediately when the ten
ants give up their lease.
Building; Is Landmark.
The building is one of the land
marks of the city and originally was
erected as a Masonic temple. It was
purchased by Mr. Holsman about a
year ago.
The structure is out of date and
will be wrecked to make way for the
modern building to take its place.
The new building will be of class A
construction, thoroughly up to date
and fireproof. It will have a 50-foot
front on Third street and 100 on
Alder.
The first floor of the projected
structure will be devoted to business
establishments. The remainder will
have five storerooms on each floor or
a total of 35 to be devoted entirely
to specialty shops. Each shop will
have show-window space opening
upon t'en-foot corridors. This type
of building has proven particularly
popular in the east. It was the result
of a recent trip to Chicago and other
eastern points that Mr. Holsman de
cided upon the erection of such a
building. The specialty stores will
be 20 by 40 and 20 by 60.
Mr. Holsman In Sonth.
Mr. Holsman left last week for San
Francisco to study some buildings
there of the same type with a view
to getting some ideas for features to
work into the new structure. He also
may go east before returning to
Portland.
The J. K. Gill company has not yet
reported definite plans for the future,
although it '.a understood that in case
they give up the Third and Alder
street corner they may erect a struc
ture on property downtown which
they recently acquired.
Claussen & Claussen reported last
week that they are preparing plans
for a two-story build ng to be occu
pied by, a stone with living quarters
upstairs at 1750 Sandy boulevard.
The structure is to be erected by Mrs.
E. Burmester, now proprietor of a
drygoods store on Thurman street.
The building will cost about 17500.
A six-room residence will be erect
ed in the near future on Sixteenth
street near Fremont for R. C. Cart
mell. The building will cost about
$5000. Claussen & Claussen are pre
paring plans for this structure.
SPACE FPU SHOW ASKED
AUDITORIUM TO BE USED FOR
REALTY EXHIBITS.
Affair to Be Held by Local Dealers
During Week of April
3 to 8.
Plans for duplicating this year the
home beautiful exposition held by the
Portland Realty board last year, but
on a more extenelve scale, are already
being laid by the new administra
tion of the board. John H. Marlels
has been appointed chairman of the
committee which Is to stage the af
fair.
The exposition will be held April
3 to 8. Arrangements have been made
to use the entire public auditorium.
It is intended to use not only the
main floor but also the basement and
two rooms upstairs for the various
exhibits of homes, home construction,
arrangement and Interior furnishing,
Mr. Marlels announced.
Already a large majority of the 75
exhibitors who had booths at the
last exposition have signified their
desire to tak-e even more space this
year. Indications are that the entire
auditorium will be required to house
all the exhibitions.
A plat of the auditorium is now
under way and it is expected that
the placing of space with the various
Portland concerns will be started by
the middle of the week.
The exposition last year proved one
of the most popular affairs of the
kind ever held in the city, and It was
estimated that at least 100,000 per
sons visited the auditorium during
the week. With a much larger and
more complete exposition planned for
this year, the event should prove an
even more popular one.

URBANA, III., Jan. 14. Fifteen of
the 16 greatest butterfat pro
ducing cows In the world ev
ery one of them a super cow are to
be found in the United States, reports
Professor W. W. Yapp of the Univer
sity of Illinois 1n an inquiry he con
ducted for the Associated Press. The
leader of the list, however, halls from
Canada.
Great aa these cows are, the future
will produce even greater. Professor
Yapp predicts.
Prefacing his list, the Illinois dalr
husbandry expert aays:
"The only common ground-upon
which It seems advisable to attempt
to compare dairy cows is butterfat
production. It is not possible nor prac
tlcable to compare cows on the basis
of milk yield, inasmuch as the breeds
differ so markedly in. both quantity
and quality of the milk which they
produce. They are very similar, how
ever in their total butterfat produc

to 1250 pounds of butterfat. Yet this
amount just about represents the dif
ference In production between the
primitive cow and our present day
marvels. What would those original
nws think and more particularly.
what would their owners think. If they
could see our newest super-cows.
"The accompanying table gives the
IS cows regardless of breed, age, own
ership or location which have the
largest butterfat productions for the
yearly period. It is extremely Inter
esting to observe that tseiia ronuac,
for instance, the highest butterfat
producing cow in the world, would
suddIv butter suffiicent to feed 24
average families of four members
each for the entire year, and that
any one of the cows would feed 2d
families allowing 16Vs pounds butter
per person per year, which is the ap
proximate average consumption, ac
cording to the United States circular
No. 65 for 191S."
The 16 greatest butterfat produc
ing cows in the world are thus re

"One might rightfully ask. will the
world ever see greater producing
cows than these?" Professor Yapp
adds: "Undoubtedly yes. We need
only to go back ten or a dozen years
to recall that there was not a single
cow which had produced as much as
1000 pounds of fat. Every cow In the
above table has produced In excess of
1060 pounds of butterfat. Surely the
future will bring forth even greater
cows than these."
