MADSEN ' Farm Editor, The Statesman While : not: entering" v animals. number' of the Salem Vicinity Chinchilla breeders are attending ; the Chinchilla Show which opened . 'late Friday and will continue through Sunday at the Multnomah Hotel, Portland. Approximately 250 entries are beinff exhibited. The show Is being sponsored by the Oregon branch of the National Chinchilla Breeders of America. , judges for the event are Lester Sal of Salt Lake City; Jjutner Helleson of Inglewood, Calif., and John Donahue of Santa Maria, Calif. - : : Judging is done on the basis of smoothness and beauty of inner and outer fur. and on color. . : While breeders figure that around 10 per cent of the litters are lost each - year. - the animals - nave grown from a hobby of 11 to 150,- 000 on 5,000 chinchilla ranches in the United States in a matter of 20 Tears. Up o the present time, quality animals have' been considered too valuable to kill, and have been used for breeding purposes only. This year for the first time in this country, prime quality cnmcftuia pelts are being sold, R. L. Herrick, show chairman, reports. 1 Chinchillas, small grey, hopping animals, the size of a large squir rel, natively inhabit the eastern slopes of the Andes in Chile and Bolivia, at altitudes between 8,000 and 12,000 feet. The fur has long been prized, even being sought by the ancient Peruvians. 1 fThe 11 little animals were brought to the United tSates as a hobby by a United States mining engineer, T who- had been bringing them down from the high altitudes to sea level over a period of years. to enable them to become accus tomed to lower altitudes. Shortly after he brought in his little flock, most South- American countries passed laws, banning exporting of live animals or their pelts. Chinchillas, the breeders report, are among the cheapest animals to - maintain, being, fed a diet of specially prepared pellts and hay at a total cost of approximately one cent a day per animal. In the -wild state, the chinchillas produce five to six young twice a year. In captivity, they still pro duce twice a year, but their litters are much smaller, ranging from 1 to 4. The little ones are born with teeth, open eyes and fully furred. Unlike many of the fur-bearing animals. Chinchillas are unusually clean, ' have no odor or trace of vermin. i SKoe Serves As Gavel BISMARCK. N. D. U The gavel was 1 missing when Senator it. M.

The F-84 attack on Manpolin. a border city in an area so remote that its targets normally are as signed to long range B-29.S brought out 50 Russian - built MIGs seek ing to rout the slower Thunder- jets. But 42 screening Sabres took on the MIGs in the eighth straight day of sky fights. The Fifth Air Force said Sabre pilots destroyed two MIGs, prob ably destroyed three and damaged two others in IS dosfishts Satur day." . .- : - .. rZl' The claims brought the eight day total tot 19 MIGs destroyed, seven probably destroyed and 20 damaged.

CONSOLIDATION BILL VOTED The Senate passed and sent to the House Saturday a bill to let Oregon City and Gladstone con solidate. William McAllister, Medford, former speaker of the House and attorney for the Rogue River Val ley Traffic Association, said the bill by Day, who also is from Medford, would put an end to cloud seeding.

The House State and Federal Affairs Committee and the Sen ate Agriculture Committee heard the arguments for more than three hours- Also at issue was a bill by Rep. Robert Root, also of Medford, who would have the Public Utili ties Commissioner do the licens ing. , Jackson county dry land farm ers, who fear that rainfall has been reduced because of fruit arrowers attempts to stoD hail storms by cloud seeding, support Day's bill. The fruit men support Root's bill. - - Senate Votes Bill to Allow Candidates To Quit Primary The Senate passed a House bill Saturday : to permit presidential candidates to withdraw from Ore gon's presidential primary elec tions, but it apparently is headed for a dispute in a' Senate-House conference committee, i -v; As passed by the House.
