Olcott and members of the Oregon

Parade of Winning Horses in
Stadium is Attraction
Wednesday Night
By CHAIiLES J. LISLE
Practically all tlio stock, from
tancry birds auJ pigeons up to
rhe biggest fat cattle on the place
have been judei. The fluttering
ribboiw abound al tlirough ihe
barns, on the twiboards, in t.e
owneis pocke:s or in tne saieiy
deposit vaults where some proud
owners keep them.
Judging in the cattle classes at
the lair began early Wednesday
morning. There was a little clean
up w.rk in several of the earlier
classes, and then the big Guern
sey show began. The first an.
nouncement showed the Guernsey
class in the numerical lead of all
the breeds, with 121 animals. A
later census of tho boys and Cr's.
calf club exhiuus, adds to all the
breeds, but in a much', different
proportion from that ot .the main I
exhibitors. The Guernseys gain
six from the club exhibits, mak
ing 127 in all for this breed. The
Jerseys gain 19, making .them a
total of 129 in the fair and put
t'n gthem in the lead. The Hol
makng them 117 for the whole
show.
Jiulgf Kept Busy
The Guernsey class of 12.
however, certainly gave the jude
all the business one man could Jo.
It was the greatest display of its
kind ever held in the northwest,
both in quantity and quality.
Guernseys were exhibited from a
long way off, two or three herds
coming from Washington to com
pete with the home product. It.
li- a matter of state pride that the
invaders for all their royal breed,
ing, didn't carry away all or even,
nearly all of the honors. Prizs
ribbons were liberally scattered .in
some of the hottest competitions
ever shown in the northwest in
any livestock class.
For that matter, there have
been a lot of stock exhibitors of
various kinds that have made tho
judges sit up and take notice. In
the Duroc-Jersey hog class, the
call for junior sow pigs under six
months, brought a class of 59 en
tries. Some of the Guernsey calf
classes were almost as large; most
pf the Guernsey herds are still
small, and they haven't much aged
stock, so It's calves or nothing. It
looked a fawn-and-white horizon
when the most numerous Guern
sey classes began to show.
Drunk I Veteran
Thomas W. Brunk, the veteran
hog breeder and judge, who has
been a professional swine judge
for 27 years and has visited 17
states for bis stock shows, says or
tho swine exhibit this year:
"It's getting better every year.
I bought my first puro bred pigs
4 0 vcar aim on Ihft old farm
few til ilea from Salem that mv 1
father hoinesteaded and whero I
was torn, and which has never
passed out of the family hands;
and I haye exhibited here every
year since, except the five years
fallowing '15. We baven t alwayt
had even purebred stock of the
kind we wanted, but it's coming
now. We are raising hops here in
Oregon that would hold their own
in the hottest competition, any
where on earth."
Mr. Brunk returned only a few
days ago from Spokane, where he
was swine judge for tho great
stock show for the 11th consecu
tive year believed to be a record
among stock judges in America.
Qualify Improving
W. A. Hather of Ord, Neb.,
swine judge for the t.tate fair, ana
one of, the really foremost breed
ers and judges of the whole-Unit
ed States, announces that the
quality of hogs lu the northwest
ia steadily getting better. Ho
uouid pasture tlrru more, and
feed them moro l'me and bone
yioducing foods to make them
strong, rather than 20 much 4
food to take the wrii'kles out of
their ribs when t -ey ought to be
healthily wrinkled.
' "But there are some wonderful
hogs out here, and you can tay
that they're on the right track,"

NEW
WORLD
SET BY LIEUTENANT M ACRE ADY
WHO SOARS 40,800 FEET HIGH
DAYTON, Sent. 28.
Lieutenant John A. Macready,
test pilot of McCook field, to-
day shattered the world's al
titude record, attaining a
height of 40,800 feet in the
same la Pere biplane used by
Kudolph C. Schroeder, who set
a record of 38,189 feet Febru
ary 28, 1920.
Lieutenant MacReady was.
in the air one hour, 47 min
utes, requiring all but a few
minutes of the total flying
time to reach his mark. At
39,000 feet ice formed on his
oxjen tank but he pressed on
until the altimeter registered
40,800 feet. At this point his
engine died. He then elided
safely down.
MacReady's new record of
2,620 feet higher than that of
Schroeder and in this flight
the pilot suffered none of the
hardship met by the former
chief test pilot. Schroeder's
eyeballs froze and excessive
dilation of the heart kept him
in a hospital nearly two weeks.
Today's flight primarily
was to test improvements
made on the super-charger in
vented by S. A. Moss, who wit
nessed the flight, and also a
new propeller of high pitch,
perfected by engineers at the
local field.
Captain G. S. E. A. Hallet,
chief of mechanical designing,
and Moss prepared the plane
for flight and every precau
tion was taken to provide aux
iliary oxygen tanks for the
pilot.
On landirt? Macready de
clared he suffered nothing but
numbness. He climbed out of
thi'plane unassisted.
Accumulation of ice on the
plane at 39.00Q feet caused one
"xypen tank lo cease function
ing, but auxiliary tanks were
brought into use.
MacReady was clothed in
heavy furs with special hel-
:t nfj toggles, covered with
special gelatine. The suit was
electrically heated.
"A centrifugal air compres
sor operated by a gas turbine
forms the supercharger which
made the. flight possible. The

The biplane was designed in
January, 1918, by Captain La

Defense of Mahoney Con

SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 2S.
Abandonment of any effort to
prove James E. Mahcne lnpa:.c

his tria' on the charge of murder
i:.g his wife, openiug today, began
meeting the state's case f circum
stuutiai evidence wiLh cjuntcr ts
tln'ony of a like na'.ura. Ihe M
honey defense has been a mystery
since tho death ,trnnk" was
raised from Lake Union here
containing a Doay identified as
that of Mrs. Mahoney and the
murder charge filed against the
husband.
At first relatives and counsel
for Mahoney brought an InsanUy
corn plaint against Mahoney, based
or the alleged peculiarities of bis
conduct in the county jail. A medi
cal commission pronounced Ma
honey sane. Since then the isue
has not been raised.
The defense today introduced
pathological testimony intended
to establish that the body found In
the trunk was not that of, Mrs.
Mahoney.
Dr. D. II. Nickson and Dr. Aus
tin J. West, called as experts,
said they had examined the body
in the morgue exhaustively acd
were of the opinion that It. did not
correspond "pathologically with
the physical characteristics attrib
uted to Mrs. Mahoney. The body,
according to evidence admitted by
both sides, had been treated with
quicklime, so that the facial fea
tures could not be recognised. The
state relied for its identification
largely on clothing found in the
trunk and in the appearance of
the hands and feet.
Tho defense also sought to
demonstrate by these witnesses
that decomposition of the body in
the trunk had not progressed suf
ficiently to justify the conclusion
that it had been in the water
from April IS to Angxist 8, as
the theory of the state would have
it. On cross-examination the
specialists admitted that lime la
weak solution would retard de
composition.
Dr. Nickson said the chemical
action of a dead body would
raise a trunk to the surface with
in 20 days after .its immersion.
unless tne trunk was ancnorea
Th,e defense further contested
the identification of the body as
that of Mahoney's missing brlds
by calling a witness acquainted
with Mrs. Mahoney. He expressed
the belief that it was not her
body.
