POULTRYMEN OFFER TRIBUTE TO HANSONS Two hundred men and women poultry breeders, hatcherymen, busi ness and professional men from all over western Oregon and Washing ton gathered at a banquet at the Marion hotel here Friday night to pay tribute to Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Hanson of Corvallls as the premier poultry producers of the world. The event was In celebration of the re cent victory achieved by the Han sons In the big International egg laying contest at Storr's, Connect icutt, when ten pullets entered by the Corvallls poultry men established two new world's records, one by pro ducing 2935 eggs In the 51 weeks of the contest and another by reason of the fact that seven, of the ten hens produced In excess of 300 eggs during the contest. Paul V. Maris, head of the ex tension department of the Oregon agricultural college, pre.C.ed over the banquet as toastmaster. He briefly reviewed the rise of the Han sons from an obscure beginning in the poultry business on a run down, abandoned poultry farm on the out skirts of Corvallls 16 years ago to their present position as the recog nized premiers of the pountry world. "Sixteen years ago when J. A. Hanson started his poultry plant at Corvallls," Maris declared his entire capital consisted of $1000 In cash, an unlimited capacity for hard work and an abiding; faith In the poultry Industry which has been fully justified by the success to which he has attained through close application to the numerous details Involved In poultry produc tion." Governor Patterson In a brief address referred to the poultry In dustry as the third most Import ant agricultural Industry In the state of Oregon but quoted figures to show that this state Is lagging far behind both California and Washington in the development of the poultry business. Other speakers on 'c program in cluded E. T. Reed of Corvallis, col lege editor; Ambrose Brownell of Milwaukie, prominent Leghorn breeder; B. E. Slsson, president of the Salem chamber of commerce; A. C. Marsters of Roseburg, presi dent of the state fair board; C E. Ide of Portland, representing the state chamber of commerce; E. J.

Limn of Corvallis, head of the poultry de partment of the state college; Lloyd A. Lee of Salem, president of the Oregon poultry men s associa tion, and L. E. Arnold of Albany and Lebanon, president of the Pacific Cooperative Poultry producers. A large delegation of Corvallis Klwanians, personal friends of the Hansons, attended the meeting which is declared by local poultry men to have been one of the most Important events of the kind ever staged in the Pacific northwest, Prominent poiiitry breeders here from a distance Included w. A Van Kleek of Beaverton, Orefton owner of the world's record barred rock pullet with an official record of 330 eggs at the western Wash ington contest just closed; L.

POULTRY PROTECTION SCHOOL DRAWS MANY Sllverton Twenty-two people are now enrolled in the poultry protec tlon night school which Is being conducted by Ute Smith-Hughes department of Sllverton high school. The twenty-two students are raising 4,714 fowls and have been securing excellent egg prices during the present season. One feature of a recent meeting was a demonstration of a new poul try tattoo marking outfit. Poultry thieves throughout he country will think twice before taking a chance on the stealing of tattooed fowls. The tattoo system Is the poultry man's best method for protecting his flock and Is being extensively used In all the western stales. The publicity department of WPAL, Baltimore, la wondering to the extent of 300 words or so If radio Is creating Hi manners.

Buy ing of the Issue was based to some extent on expectation of a split up in the Issues, but this lacked con firmation from official sources. With Steel around 180, compared with a low made a few weeks ago at 150, the entire list moved ahead aggressively most of the short ses sion. Business for a time was at an 8.000,000 share a day rate. Tickers fell behind nearly a half hour and stocks were coming out In huge blocks. Toward the close, the Inevitable week-end profit-taking was making Itself felt in some of the early gain ers, but it was not of scope suffi cient to make serious Inroads Into the advances. The tone was confi dent as the closing gong rang. U. S. Steel made a whirlwind fin ish, being one of the few stocks that did not meet profit-taking at all. A few minutes before 12 o'clock traders were frantically bidding for the Issue. It shot ahead and its strength arrested selling elsewhere. International Telephone was a favorite during the session, rising six points and holding most of the gain, other wide gainst made in cluded A. T. and T. Westinghouse Electric, Montgomery Ward and Am erican and Foreign Power. Radio Corporation was active but it lost nearly all the gain toward the close. Standard Oil of New er- sey featured the oil shares. Chrysler was a strong spot in .the motors. Ralls did little after early strength. Utilities continued in demand. western Union soared nearly 20 points and International Telephone extended its gain to seven before the advance was checked by profti taklng. Otis Elevator converted a loss of 8 points Into a gain of sim ilar extent. American Tobacco B, Columbia Graphaphone, Allied Chemical, National Lead, Ingersoll nana. Columbian Carbon. J. I. Case and U. 8. Industrial Alcohol all sold five to eight points higher. RELIEF PLANE TO MEETJEXPEDITION Continued trom page 1) was negotiating with an experien ced pilot.

TELLS OF TRIP TO jANTA LAND Continued from page 1) attempted to drive Santa from his domain. But Santa Clans being wise con tinued to let his whiskers grow and laughed and laughed. This only served to make the Northwind more angry than bsfore, and tnen when he tried to blow Santa's ice palace and reindeer from the face of North Poleville and couldn't do it, he gave up and retreated to his cave. Battling with Layluk all day and climbing the pass step by step, the fight finally sapped all our strength and we came to a halt. Our finger tips were frozen and our feet felt like wood. Mrs. K. had her nose frozen; we were hungry and very very tired. It took- us two hours to pitch camp and then we had to battle for our lives to keep the snow drifts from piling up on us and burying us and the reindeer. We huddled together and the Eskimos gave us some dried seal meet. We could not even light our alcohol stoves. What were we to do? We could not stay here any longer without perishing. Were we to turn back and give up the expedition and disappoint all the children? It would have been justified. We waited until the full moon came up again, for the moon dis perses storms and clouds as the sun does fog and mist. Sure enough. there seemed to be a connection be tween the moon and Layluk. The blizzard let up a little, we rushed out, our deer lifted their heads. Patunuk spoke to them In Eskimo and brushed the icicles from their mouths and nostrils. We started out again and to our surprise the narrow canyon began sloping down hill. We had stopped just at the dividing line between success and failure, as happens so often in one's hie. We were passed Layluk's cave and although he still lashed and roar ed at us, his raging grew fainter and less until we found ousel ves on a wide, level plain called tundra with soft snow and under neath it an abundance of reindeer moss for which we were grateful for our faithful animals needed food and rest as much as we did. Threy pawed the snow with their sharp little hoofs and shoveled It away with their antlers. We gathered some of the moss and built a camp fire, and Mrs. K., true to the promise she made before leaving New York, with the assist ance of the Eskimos, played cook and got busy preparing a warm meal and a bood cup of coffee. It strengthened our bodies and our spirits but we were so tired It took us some time before we fell into a dead sleep. It seemed we had barely closed our eyes when I woke up and saw Patunuk standing over me and I wanted to ask him why he didn't go to bed. when I heard him say. "Ka-blo-ni - Asin - Asin -M tWhite man get up. get up.) We had slept 8 hours. The deer, instead of lying con tentedly chewing their cud, were ; excited and running to the end of their ropes, lifting their heads and tossing their antlers, sniffing and snorting. ! I had often driven reindeer and I knew what was up. They had smelled a reindeer herd, and In a strong wind these animals can smell a large herd for 40 miles. The rein deer are gregarious. That is. they live in herds, and they wanted to be off to join Wlr brothers. If the herd happens to be in the di rection you are going you have fine sailing, as they will run at top speed until they reach the herd. But. oh, if the herd Is in the op posite direction, look out for you have trouble on your hands. We quickly broke camp and hitch ed up. The deer flew across the tundra In great leaps and bounds, as if they had no sleigh or load behind them. They threw the clods of snow from their hoofs so we had to lie down on the sleighs and cover our faces. You know how hot and ! sticky you get when you run I The deer do not perspire through their skin as we do. or as horse.' OREGON POTATO LAW ENFORCED FOR FIRST TIME As soon as Oregon housewives be come familiar with the new potato grading law, which is being enlorced m Oregon this winter for the first time, they will get into the habit oi demanding their favorite grades from grocers, says Seymour Jones, state market agent.

The air is so cold up here that the breath freezes Immediate ly and we were soon covered all over with the particles of the froz. en moisture until we looked like snowy tuzzy-wuzzy creatures. The reindeer kept up their ter- rinc pace for six hours straight. Just as the big moon sunk be hind a low ridge of mountains, we began to see hundreds and then thousands of dark spots scattered in groups all over the great plain. It was a vast herd of reindeer. A few minutes more and our sleds were right among them and our reindeer stopped, panting from tneir fast run. By the gleam of the Northern Lights we pitched camp aud built a campfire, with the reindeer all around us, looking at the fire with great soft brown eyes.
