20,080 FAT DUCKS
N. BERKELEY TELLS OF
VIRGINIA FOWL FARM.
A tmn Aear Roanoke on Which
38.600 Duoka Are Kept Growing
At the End of the Eighth. Wc
They Are Placed on the Market
Fowls Are Forced From the Tune
They Leave the Incubator Until
They Are Marketed.
jwcmy uiurano aucks In one
flock, confined on a regular duck
farm, and in all stages of growth,
from the egg to the mature duck
ready for the roasting pan. Is one of
the sights that N. Berkeley saw,
while on his recent trip to Virginia,
and Washington, D. C
The duck farm was being conduct
ed near Norfolk. Vs.. and was a
model of its kind. There was a sup-
' ply of 30,000 fowls on hands at all
limes, in every stage of growth, from
the Incubator to the 8-weeks-old bird,
fat and plump, and ready for th;
oven.
The ducks were batched in incu
bators at the rate of about 2500 per
week, and every two weeks the young
birds were advanced from one pen
Into another, as they grew and be
came strong, until at the end of the
eighth -week, they were picked and
dressed and marketed, as fine speci
mens of poultry as could be found In
iiiy market
The Roanoke river is especially
adapted to duck culture, having num
erous sloughs, bayous and ponds
along the banks, which afford an
Ideal climate and surroundings for
the fowls. The farm was elegantly
fitted for the purpose and was one of
the curiosities of the Mate.
The young birds were "forxed"
Irpm the time they left the shell of
the egg until they were packed in the
boxes for market at the end of the
eighth week, and while they would
not attain full growth in that time
.under normal conditions, yet they
-were so stuffed and crowded by ar
tificial processes and by specially
prepared foods and careful treat
ment, that they appeared to be full
grown and fat and were sold as rap
Idly as they could be packed and
shipped.
A favorite dish In Washington city,
and In fact in all the Atlantic coast
cities is roost duck, and he market
prices quoted in the current numbers
of the papers from those cities show
that dressed ducks during the holl-

BIG CROWDS.
Attracted to The Peoples Warehouse
by the Prlcee Great Sale Is On.
A crowd of enthusiastic shoppers
thronged the aisles of the Peoples
Warehouse yesterday when a re
porter for the E. O. called. "Yes,"
said Mr. Cohen, "It pays to advertise;
but It's not advertising alone that
brings these people here Just now
It's extremely low prices on first
class goods that's what causes all
this enthusiasm. We have got to
make a "killing" here this month,
and we are going to give our custom
ers some of the biggest bargains
women ever heard or read about, in
order to do It. We simply must
shove this stock out before next
month. Now you Just watch our
smoke and remember that every arti
cle In the Peoples Warehouse is re
duced In price the word fall is not
In our book. We'll do It!"
THE HUB CLOSED.
Paul Strain Ships the Remnant of His
Stock of Dry Goods Back to Port
land. After a meteoric career of two
months In this city, the Hub dry
goods store, conducted by Paul
Strain, the well known Portland
clothier, has closed and the remnant
of the stock Is being shipped back to
romand today.
As to Bicycle Ordinance.
The resolution passed by the coun
cil last night looking to the abolition
of bicycle licenses and the prevention
of bicycle riding on the sidewalks is
only a preliminary step toward the
passage of the ordinance. An ordi
nance must be drawn tin and muurri
and made effective before the mat-!
r will be settled. Many inquiries
have been made today In regard to
the matter and some of those who
hold bicycle licenses thought the res
olution passed last night revoked the
license. This is not the case. An or
dinance must be passed changing the
present ordinance, and providing for
the refunding of licenses where the
permits have not expired at the time
the new ordinance becomes effective.
. Died of Heart Failure.
P. F. Caldwell, of Benton Harbor.
Mich., died in this city last night of
heart failure, at the home of his
brother, 8. L. Caldwell. He was 70
years of age. The body is being held
awaiting Instructions from relatives
In the East. Mr. Caldwell came to
Pendleton In September to visit his
brother. He has two children resid
ing in Michigan.

The committee on conferences and :
congresses for the Lewis and Clark j
centennial exposition Is making plans :
for an educational conference to be
held at some time during the period
of the fair, and tu be representative i
so far as poHsibie, of the educational ;
work of the Pacific Northwest. i
County Superintendent of Schools
Frank K. Welles this morning receiv-
ed a circular letter from the com-1
miltee on conferences and congresses
stating the object of such a meeting. ;
and requesting that he be present at '
a conference to be held Junuary 14. I
A letter was also received from j
State Superintendent of Public In- (
structlon J. C. Ackerman, sanctioning I
uch a movement, and stating that a
meeting of leading educators of the
Northwest is to be held in Portland,
on January 14, to discuss the matter.
The letter from the committee j
says: "The suggestion is made that,
this educational conference shall be.
In fact, a Joint session of the state j
teachers' associations of aa many of
the Pacific Northwest states as may
desire to Join.
"If the state teachers' associations
of Oregon, Idaho, Washington and!
Montana will unite upon an equality
In 1 1 1 .1.1., ., ,. . 1
lleved that two or three thousand
teachers will assemble, and in this !
event, and with the co-operation of
all concerned, it is certain that some
of the greatest educators of the world
can be procured to address the meet-)
Ings." j
The letter from Superintendent j
Ackerman follows: ,
Supt. Frank K. Welles, I
Pendleton, Oregon.
Dear Sir: A movement is on foot :
to hold, during the Lewis and Clark .
fair, a series of congresses, one of j
which is to be a congress on educa-
tion. The speakers are to be among i
the best that can be secured in the j
United States. It has also been sug
gested that such a congress might I
take the place of the State Teachers'
Association for 1905. and also, all or !
in port of the county Institutes to be
held during said year.
In order that the matter may be
fully discussed It has been thought
best to have a conference of the
leading educators of the state at
Portland at 2 p. m., January 14, and
you, doubtless, will receive an invita
tion from the committee to attend
such conferences. It would be neces
sary to secure the legislative action
to authorise you to suspend your In
stitute for the year 106 and use all
or a part of your funds for defraying
the expenses of the congress.
May we hope to have you present
at the conference, or if you cannot
attend, will you kindly submit your
views In writing so that we may
know what you think about It?
So far as this department is con
cerned It will make no move for sus
pending your county Institute with
out your hearty approval.
Respectfully yours,
J. H. ACKERMAN.
Supt. Public Instruction.
Injunction proceedings filed In the
United States circuit court today pre
vented the sale of the stock of the
tltiU-ondu mine. The papers In the
suit were served upon T. Q. Halley,
as president, and E. J. Sommervllle
as vice president of the mine. Depu
ty United States Marshal Jacob
Proebatel came up from Portland
this morning and served the papers
on Dr. Sommervllle. Mr. Hailey Is
in Portland.
The sale had been advertised to
take pluce In this city thiB afternoon
lit ; o'clock. Alexander Prusslng Is
plaintiff In the action, and the rea
sons set forth In the petition for in
junction are that the methods of ad
vertising the sale are Irregular.
Mr. Sommervllle said: "At a meet
ing of the stockholders It was agreed
to' sell the property for enough to
satisfy the mortgages held against it
and as much more as possible. Prus
sing represents the dissatisfied stock
holders. "The next Btep will no doubt be
the institution of proceedings of fore
closure and It will eventually mean
the sale of the property under the
marshal's hammer. I do not look up
on the present Injunction proceedings
as affecting the sale of the property
to any extent"
The Golconda mine Is located near
Sumpter, and was first operated about
10 years ago. It was closed, finally,

principal mortgage, whlc humounts
to 124.000. James A. Howard, holds
two mortgages, one for $7500 and
the other for $4000. The mine was
Incorporated with a capital stock of

It is considered a valuable proper
ty, and recently Alexander Prusslng

THE PERPETUAL
WAR
There is always a fight
going on in every human
body between health and dis
ease. On one side are poor
food, bad air, over-work,
worry, colds, accidents. On
the other are sunshine, rest,
cheerfulness and nourish
ment. The reason Scott's Emul
sion fights so powerfully for
health is because it gives so
much more nourishment than
you can get in any other way.
Get in the sunlight and try
Scott's Emulsion.
We'll and you a aunple Irtf upon request.
