GHE30II SELECTS SITE.
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.

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

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
