TO DISTRIBUTE MANY RABBITS Portland Sportsmen Plan a Big Drive Soon. Portland sportsmen who have begun to plan for the annual expedition-Hrto central Oregon to help.? the ranchers exterminate the jackrabbit pest, are discussing the feasibility of gathering up the rabbits and bringing them to Portland to be distributed among the unfortunate. J. C. Moore, chief clerk in the freight department of the North Bank, Is ar ranging the hunt or "drive." He be lieves If sufficient Interest can be worked up among the hunters, thou sands of rabbits may be brought in and turned over to Winter Relief Bu reaus. Except for a few rabbits brought home as trophies, last year all those slain in "the drive were left on the ground. Mr. Moore believes that the Oregon Trunk railroad would be willing to haul the rabbits free. The date for the first drive will be selected later.

Bidding; Is Lively. In connection with the sale of the grand champion, the prize "bull" of the exposition was pulled off. According to time honored custom, the three day sale of stock was opened by offering the champion steer. Bid ding was lively, and among the liveli est shouter was a man who gave the nameof M. D. Reed, a locomotive en gineet. Not realizing that the bidding was being made on a pound basis, be thought such bids as 20 and 22 cents was ridiculous, . and he ran it up to $1.25 before he finally quieted an Ine briated rival and was awarded the plum. There were cheers as George A. Gue, auctioneer, led Reed to the pavilion stand and introduced him. "Gentlemen," shouted Gue, "Mr. Reed has paid the second highest price ever paid in the world for a grand champion. Had But Two Dollars. A short time later Reed proffered $1.25 for the animal, and the light be gan to dawn. There were hurried ex planations, need confessed that all the money he had in the world was $2, and he had figured that the meat com pany would pay Him more than he paid for the animal. When it was explained that the steer weighed 1650 pounds and would cost him $2062.50 he got ex cited. I "Whefe's the bull?" he Inquired. "Out in the pen." Ow! What'll I dor "Beat it," advised an Irate cattle man, and Reed almost in tears sought General Manager Plummer. So after a while the steer was sold again. This time the Union Meat com pany got him at 24 cents a pound, and will use him for the Christmas trade.
