Have Chosen Location for Build ing at Exposition. - The first site for a state build ing at the laska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition was selected Decem ber 29 by the Oregon provision al committee appointed by Gov ernor Chamberlain for that pur pose. , The ground chosen is one of the most beautiful and advanta geous plots on the exposition grounds. It is two acres in ex tent and commands an unob structed view of Lake Washing-' ton on which the gro'unds border. Standing at the intersection of the Yukon avenue and another boulevaid running at right ang les with it, the building will face the Forestry building and a circle that will surround one of the principle bandstands. A pennant bearing the word "Ore yon," which was planted by President Wekrung of the coin mision, now waves proudly over the site, which will practi cally belong to Oregon until af ter the world's fair closes. It was decided by the commis sion to recommend to the forth coming sss:ion of the legislature an appropriation of at least $150,- 000 lor Oregon's participation. Fifty thousand dollars of the ap propriation will be used for the erection ofa'hdndsome building. The commission will recommend that a collective and competitive exhibit be made. This means that all of Oregou's exhibits at the exposition will be displayed in her building and that she will take advantage ot the exhibit rule that will permit such col'ec tive displays to be entered - for awards. This plan which was first carried out at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, makes it pos sible for the visitor to view all of the exhibits from his home state without visiting eight ' or ten laige buildings-" ' ". - It was suggested by the com mission that the Washington 1 t"1T . state DUiiaing, wnica is now as signed a site near the main en trance, be placed on 'a sightly plot to the right oi the Oregon building. This would make the structures of Washington, Ore gon and California near each other and in the order in which the states are on the m? p. The members of the commis sion state that Oivgon will make a larger and better exhibit at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition than it has ever done at any pre vious world's fair. President Wehrung asserts that Oregon gives, the ether states ot the Pac ific Northwest fair warning that it intends to come to Seattle in 1907 to carry off every award possible. Credit Due Him. One of the most progressive dairymen in this section of Ore gon is Richard Scott of Milwau kee, whose son, Willie . Scott, was a formei student and football player at OAC Mr. Scott re ceives a nice notice in the Jan uary issue of the Oregon Agri culturist, and the idea with which he is credited is given here as it may prove of benefit to Benton countv dairymen. The Agriculturist says: For a good many years Mr. Richard Scott, of Milwaukie, persistently called the attention of the dairymen ot Western Ore gon to the value of a thousand headed kaie as a forage crop for use in winter feeding of milch cows. 1 he dairymen were sken-- tical and failed to even give. the plant a trial until . two or tbret years ago when Mr. W.- K. Ne well and one or two others raised it and were.50 .,well,. pleased thai their commendations were added to those of Mr. Scott.- . . At the recent meeting of. tij Oregon - Prymen,s --Association kale waearerltb be the tnot I economical and useful succulen t winter food for. dairy cow which is known for ;: Western . Oregon conditions. At all of the farm ers' iustitni.es which are being held this year in Western Oregon he farmers are learning the value of -bis kale. Kale is an article which must not be fed within fivepr six hours . of milk ing time. The proper time to teed it is soon after milkitg. Mr. Scott deserves credit for call ing the .attention of Oregon dairy men to the value of this forage plant. - Banta Hen Vs the Incubator. The breeding of fancy chickens and pheasants at Corvallis is De coming quite a profitable indus try,4 and to get at the cheapest plan and the most convenient way of raising these birds, four ot our distinguished citizens met a few days ago to discuss plans. F. L Miiler and S. B. Bane thought the incubator was the thing, while E; E. Wilson and Gene Simpson thought the banta hen was "it." " Arguments pro and con would ' have convinced any fair minded jury that both sides were ribt. Miller would f tell how manv Buff Oipingsons, Plymouth Rocks, White Wyandottes, Buff, Brown and White Leghorns he could hatch out of so many fer tile eggs with a Petaluma incuba tor, and Bane would tell how many game . chickens, Golden, Silver, Lady Amherst, English Ring-neck and China pheasants he could hatch with the same kind of a machine. Then Wil son would tell how many pheas ants he had raistd with his Buff! bantas and the sleek tongued Simpson said he had a sort of a "go as you please lot of bantas" but they were the genuine article for eggs and for incubating pur pos's, and to prove, it he told the following stor: , -I 4,I kept Ma little banti hen along' thrbugrjthe-? spring! Uir der my shed I had three empty cider-barrels that I . had before the towa went dry. These were filled with wheat and every time this banta wanted to ; lay she ate just enough grain to make room for the egg. Finally she had laid the barrel full of eggs and had eaten every bit of grain in the barrel, and so she startea to set. I wanted to break her up so I headed up the barrel. That did not stop her She sat on the buug hole in the top of the barrel and in three weeks hatch ed every egg, and the chickens came out of the bung hole one at a time to meet their mother." "That beats all your incuba tors," said Wilson. Miller look ed at Bane and said, "lets pray." Bane fervently responded, "Amen," and they adjourned. Post Oak, Junior. About Hunters' Licenses. There will be no pleading ig norance of the game laws of Ore gon, by hunters who take out licenses this year, and. those who violate the law hoping to escape on the bid, threadbare excuse of "I did not know" will be up against it. Hunters' licenses this year have the game laws of the state printed in full on the back, so the man who buys a license also procures copy of the law to "guide him safely through the tempta tions of the various "open" and "closed" seasons. Persons who took out licenses last year 196 are requested to take notice ot the tact that such li censes are of noaccountafter Dec ember 31st, and new ones must be secured of the county clerk, if the hunters woald avoid trouble. A license is good only foi th year in which it is issu'ed and ot December 31st, that year, it ex pries and a new one must be ob tained at the jerk's office:' ' -" Already Clerk Vincent has is ; sifted ten licenses, for 1907.-'- -c RECONSIDERED DECISION. in Regard to Proposed Agricul tural Fair Benton Court. An order has been made by the Benton county court that will be very gratifying to the people of Benton generally, and espec ially so to. the committee in charge of the proposed school children's agricultural fair to be held next August. Th.s order in full is as follows: "In the matter ot an Agricul tural Fair to be held in Benton county the last of August, 1907, having come on for further con sideration upon a petition pre sented by the committee having the matter in charge; and the court being more fully advised in regard to the probable nextet of this fair and the necessity that may exist for space to properly make a display of the exhibits as outlined by the committee, and while the court is inclined to think that lar.e tabernacles placed on the court house lawn would be more convenient for the public and for a display of ex hibits at that time of the year; yet, it the committee should think otherwise, upon farther consideration the court, haviag a desire in every legitimate and proper way to make the fair a success, It is ordered that an addition to the sum of $100 appropriated in aid of said fair at its Decem ber 1906 term, an additional ap propriation ot $100 be and the same is hereby authorized. That in addition to the use of the court house grounds and the seven large vacant rooms is the court house, including the county court room on the first floor, can be used for the exhibit, . and if further room is needed the circuit court room can also be used for the same purpose, py first care fully removing the seats and fur niture in the room to some ad- j accn t TbomucWfe v.i ng , th e,r a i Lr lng covered with cloth, all to be. under the supervision of the jani tor." A Novel Comedy Tonight. J'The Belle of Japan" which has met with brilliant success everywhere on account of its ori ginalitv and great pleasing pow ers, will be seea here on January 8th. This novel comedy intro duces many new types of charac ters never before ptesented on the stage. The story deals with life as now seen in Japan, is consist ently told, the comedy at all times bright and the interest increases to the very drop ot the final cur tain. Through the performance musical and dancing numbers are introduced. v The scenery and costumes are very beautiful and alone are worth going to witness. Miss Bessie Clifton late star of "The Missouri Girl," and "A Hoosier Daisy," will be seen in the title role supported by an excell:nt caste. To Haul Wheat. For the next two weeks the steamer Altooaa, Captain George Rabbe, will be engaged in trans porting wheat from points at the bead of the navigatioa on the Willamette river to Corvallis. She left Portland Wednesday to begin the task. It is estimated that fully 75.000 bushels ot the cereal will be handled by her, de clares the Herald. Some local steamer goes North cf Corvallis regularly at this time ot year to bring the grain grown in that section to Corvallis. Last year the work was attended to by the G. -M. Walker of the Kamm line. It is only during the high water season that a craft can get to the head ot navigation. Re ports received by the owners of Altoona state that the channel is in better condition than ever be fore, said to be largely due to the splendid work done through lie past lew mouths by iV- -ernment suayjboat Mat 1 At a point a mile atve C r.-; vs)l is the overdo m f r m t'v '-r during the freshf f it raso. cut out a new channel, -h -n-ingthe steamboat line hv' Jnlly' two miles.
