The first site for a state build ing at the Alaska-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 -unobstructed view of Lake Washing ton on which the grounds border. Standing at the intersection of the Yukon avenue and another boulevard running at right ang les with it, the building will face the Forestry building and a ciicle that will surround one of the principle bandstands. A pennant bearing the word "Ore gon," which was planted by President Wehrung of the com-ini.'-sion, now waves proudly over the site, which will practi cally belong to Oregon until af ter the world's fair closes. It was deciled by the commis sion to recommend to the forth coming session of the legislature an appropriation of at least $150, coo lor Oregon's participation. Fifiy thousand dollars of the ap propriation will be used for the erection of a handsome 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 state building, which is now as signed a site near the main en trance, be placed on a sightly plot to the right ot 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 map. The members of the commis sion state that Oregon 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 other states ot the Pac ific Northwest fair warning that it intends to come to Seattle in 1907 to carry on every award oossible. 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 former studen: 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 caliea the attention of the dairymen ot Western Ore gon to the value of a thousand headed kale as a lorage . crop toi use in winter feeding of milcb cows. Th.? dairymen were skep tical and failed to even give the plant a trial until two or three years a go when Mr. W. K. Ne well and one or two others raised it and were so well pleased that their commendations were added to those of Mr. Scott. At the recent meeting of tb Oregon Dairymen's Association kale was declared to be the most economical and useful succulent winter food for dairy cows which is known for Western Oregon conditions. At all of the farm ers' institutes which are being held this year in Western Oregon he farmers are learning the value of 'Lis kale. Kale is an article-which must not be fed within five or six hours of milk ing time. The proper time to feed it is soon after milking. Mr. Scott deserves credit for call ing the attention of Ortgon dairy men to the value of th:"s forage plant. Banta Hen Vs the Incubator. The breeding of fancy chickens and pheasants at Corvallis is De cerning quite a profitable indus try, 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. Miller and S. B. Bine 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 right. Miller would tell how many Buff .Orpingtons, 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 bad raistd with his Buff bantas and the sleek tougued Simpson said be had a sort of a "go as vou please lot of bantas" but they were the genuine article for eggs and for incubating pur ses, and to prove it he told the following story. "I kept a little banta hen along through the spring. Un der my shed I had three empty cider-barrels that I had before the towa went drv. 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 started to set. I wanted to break her up so I headed up the barrel. That did not stop her. She sat on the buugf 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, "Jets 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 old, threadbare excuse of I did 'not know" will be up against it. Hunters' licenses this year have the game lavs of the state printed in full on the back, so the man who buys a license also procures copy of the law to gui de him safely through the tempta tions of the various "open" and "closed" seasons. Persons who took out licenses last year 1-19 )6 are requested to take notice ot the tact that such li censes are of no accpunt after Dec ember 31st, and new ones must be secured of the county clerk, if the hunters would avoid trouble. A license is good only foi ttu vear in whi:h it, is issued and or. December 31st, that year, it ex pires and a new one must be ob taioed at the clerk's office, Already Clerk Vincent has is- sued ten licenses for 1907; RECONSIDERED DECISION. In Regard to Proposed Agricul tural Fair Benton Court. An order has been made by i.he Benton county court that will be very gratifying to the people ot 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 of 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 a? 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 tbink otherwise, upon farther consideration the court, hiving a desire in every legitimate and proper way to make the fair a success, It is ordered that an addition to the sum of J6100 appropriated in aid of said fair at its Decem ber 1936 term, an additional ap propriation ot $100 be and the same is hereby authorized. That in addition to the use ot the Court house grounds and the seven large vacant rooms in the court house, including the county court room on the first fljqr, can be used for the exhibit, and if further room is needed the circuit court room can also be used for the same purpose, by first care fully removing the seats and fur niture in the room to some ad jacent room and having the rail ing covered with cloth, all to be under the supervision of the jani tor."

For the next two weeks the steamer Altoona, 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 7. 000 bushels 01 the cereal will be handled by her, de clares the Herald. Some local steamer goes North of Corvallis regularly at this time ot year to bring the grain grown in that section to Corvallis. Last vear 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 wotk done through tie past lew mouth by i'l erriment snagboat Mat'iU. . At a point a mile above vaHs the overflow fr m the during the fresh" .t 1 it w cut out a new eliaim 1, sii ingthe steamboar line by two miles.
