MONSTER GATHERING OF MERRY MONGRELS IS HELD AT ARMORY Curs of Very Last Degree of Homeliness Compete fcr Lowest Prize. Judged to be th$ muttlest mut -ifr entered in the mut dog show, a real cur, a veritable sooot, a eenulne feist, shown on the bench by young Osworth Ship- ley, was proclaimed the grand s champion of the mongrel dogs of Portland last night, and win- ner of the grand prise of 48. In all there were' 36 prises, a ft bronie medal offered by the Oregon Humane society going to a cheesehound modeled out of fromage de brl by Pierre Tr&gllo, sculptor. Everybody said tt was a strong dog. 4r It was a riot. A.tanlns carnival of capricious curs, A monster mass meeting of merry mongrels. They were all there at the, mut daj fliow all but the "coon dog." Alas and alack he was missing. Evidently dogs aren't made that way now. They were all there from Just plain ol' dogs to Brljaree Beagle, every mut dog In Portland the collection forming a Saturnalia for dog catchers. No pedigreed dogs were allowed. Nary a one. One or two tried to slip by the door In hopes of winning a pound of dog biscuit or a bronae medal, hut they were quickly detected in spit-.; of their clever makeup. The dog show In Madison Square (aiden was a piker beside it. Here was the proletariat of dogdora en throned on the height of cracker or soap box actually competing for prizes. Dogt that had not held their heads up in months were positively perky. liogs that were yesterday living with the fear of the poundmaster in their I hearts were even lighthoarted. They were all there, children's pets and alley dogs, thin dogs and mangy ' ('.ogs, slok dogs and dilapidated dogs, ! wobbly dogs and loveable dogs, i There were curs, feists, scroois, ' mongrels, ki-yodels, yallow dogs, flea hounds, mush hounds, Ford retrievers, sparerib spaniels, Missouri houn' dogs, bone setters, bowsers, home pointers, cat terriers, sooners, moon barkers. Piute poodles and common every day btreet doss. They Scratched the Part. The kl yoodles were all true to their name. They did. The yallow dogs were certainly true to color, that pale weather beaten thade. The flea hounds scratched and on the long tailed specimens the fleas i-merrily looped the' loop. The mush hound had the real physi ognomy. All that was needed for the sparerib ernlel was a side of sauerkraut. i The Ford retrievers looked as though they had been, assembled ia record ; time. Yes, they were all there. There were ! homely dogs and fat dogs and sad dogs j and affectionatCdogs, hungry looking dogs and forlorn looking dogs, opti mistic dogs and dogs impossible of classification. They Yowle aad Howled. They barked and taey yowled and they how led. The ballroom at the Armory was a pandemonium of eurdom. ' Kids from all over Portland had evidently scoured th hiahwava and j tlie byways. And, just in passing, there were anx- j lous dog fanciers on hand to see if any of their missing prlne pts had been j borrowed for the occasion. I When the grand champion was an nounced it was said he was born un der the Dbg Star and there was no denying the fact. , Dogs may come and dogs may go, , but it will be a long time before Port land ever sees another such collection of dogs outside the pound. i u ru hid iiium Diase person pre- i ft nd to admit that the hot dogs ; were all to the mustard.

MILLS FOR YEAR '16 Amount Would Exceed 1915 Budget for City by 2.8 Mills; Items Compared Buret estimates at this time indi cate that the total tax levy on Port land property for 1916 will be '5.9 mills, which will be an inorease of 2.8 mills over the levy for 191G. It was thought until the last few days that tho levy for general county expenses would be 26. mills, but it Is now es year, and In that event the total levy would bo H5.I mills, but It Is new es timated that the general county Jevy w ill be 2 8 mills, thus raising the total to 25.9 mills. A levy of 15.9 mills will mean that far every 11000 of assessed valuation $25.90 will have to be paid in as taxes. Only the school district and the city have practically decided definitely on what their levies will be. The others ai- estimates and none has yet been positively fixed. As the altuatioo now stands the following figures show how the levy probably will be distributed compared with the 1815 levy: 1016. 1915. Mills.

Contradicting the claims of th.e British embassy that the American steamer Zealandia was outside the three mile limit when overhauled and searched by a British warship, the American consul at Piogresso today cabled the state department that the captain of the Zealandla had reported that hia vessel w,as within three miles of Fro grepso when the occurrence took place. The state department has jrdered the consul to procure affidavits from the captain and it is believed will tben take the matter up with Foreign Min ister Grey through Ambassador Page al London.

Jewelers Since 1868 At Washington and Park NATIONAL DEFENSE PLAN MEETS FAVOR OF N. J. Oregon Congressman Thinks Many Republicans Will Support Wilson Program. LEAVES FOR THE CAPITAL Daring aet Suunr He Has Visited Every Ooanty la Sis Dirtrtet, Traveling- 8000 Miles. Strongly In favor of a program for Increasing the preparations of this nation for national defense. N. .1. Sin nott, of The )alles, congressman for the eastern Oregon dtstrlet. left with his family and his secretary, E. D. Baldwin, last night for San Francisco, on his way to the national capital. Congressman Sinnott said he thought i many Repu,bJtcan members of congress will support President Wilsons pro gram for national preparedness. Durlnp the past summer Congress man Sinnott visited every county in his district. He traveled SQOO miles by automohile and 6000 miles by rail. Ho said he visited sections that had never seen an Oregon congressman before. He spent weeks talking to the people of his district, finding out their needs and wishes in regard to federal legislation and assistance. 0 "But I traveled over many good roads and I saw some of the finest land to be had anywhere. The 'people of eastern Oregon are greatly inter ested in railroad construction. "One of the needs of my district in a law to make the life of the home steader easier. He should not be forced to live on his homestead the first two or three years. He should be given a chance to get the land under cultivation first, and then when the place ijj habitable he. can live on it. "I Introduced in the last congress a Dill to proviae some reuei aiong mis line, but tha department of the interior did not warm up to it, so I decided to let the matter rest until I .had oppor tunity to set out in my district and find out exactly tha condition among the homesteaders. I expect to intro duce another bill along the same lines." Congressman Sinnott said- he thought more land In the national for ests ought to be opened to homestead entry. "The forestry department takes the stand that If It should classify the land as agricultural it would be de ceiving the public," said Mr. ainnott. Home Sites Plentiful. "I think if anybody believes the land Is fit for a homestead he should be given the privilege of filing and a chance to try out the land. To allow for this the law should be changed so the department could throw the land open to entry without, having to class ify it as agricultural land. "Hundreds of homes could be es tablished In the forest reserves If this policy were pursued. "The people of eastern Oregon also need a greater fund lor Irrigation de velopment, but it is not likely they or anyone else will get an appreciable amount for the next few years. I have advised the residents of arid dis tricts to organize irrigation districts and go ahead with irrigation projects, and whenever government funds are available the government will be ready to co-operate with them in their proj ects. Would Open Reservation. "The Klamath Indian reservation should also be thrown open to the public. Most of the Indians, already have their allotments. ' Congressman Sinnott said he strong ly favored the pure fabric bill, which purposes to do for manufactured wool en and cotton and other goods what the pure food law has done for comes tibles. He also thinks that a tariff should be put on wool again. "We never have had am honest wool tariff," he declared. "The tariff on wool has always been fixed for the benefit of the eastern manufacturers." He said other mesyres that will come before congress, which are ef particular interest to his district, in- Vegetable Dishes Casseroles Bread Trays Gravy Boats Mayonnaise Bowls Entree Dishes Condiment Sets Etc. S1NN0TT Plude the bill prortdtps for the 1elng of the public domain and the 40-acre homestead lav. He said he approved the essential purpeae or the rerrta water power bill, which was to prevent tiUe to val uable water power sites passing from the government in perpetuity, but h expressed opposition to the provision of the bill which would Impose a tax on the water power developed. He aaid also h thought the secretary of the tpterior should be authorised to throw open for homestead entry, at his discretion, lands that have been withdrawn for power sites but which likely will not, be used far such pur poses for a great many years. DECISION PLEASES JAPAN Tokyo, Japan, Soy. IS. The Japan Times editorially rejoices in the de cision against the Arizona antialien law. Although Japan's interests In that state amount to almost nothing, the decision of the supreme court, says the paper, diminishes the possibility of an Individual state discriminating apalnst foreigners, increases the power of the central government in enforc ing foreign treaties, enhances the prin ciple of justice and tends to remove a long standing source of irritation be tween Japan and America.
