THOSE OREGON BOVINES.
Animals Shipped From Corvallis
Get Wrlte-Up.
The fame of Oregon livestock
has reached tar-off Honolulu, and
even the Corvallis stock show is
mentioned in a write-up that ap
peared in the "Sunday Advertis
er" Sep. 8 '07. The article
has reference to the splendid
animals shipped from the L. B.
Geer stock farm a few weeks ago
of which me ntion was made at
the time in the Gazette. The
Advertiser says:
The finest herd of -blooded cat
tle that ever came to the Hawii
an Islands arrived by the Hilon
ian Thursday. The herd consists
of thirty-three bulls from the best
herds ot Oiegon and Washington
amd are for the Parker ranch, the
American Sugar Company ranch
on Molokai, and for Jpbn Hind
in Kona. , '
The animals of the herd were
all selected by Fred W. Carter,
late manager of the Cone ranch
near Red Bluff, and were shipped
and brought here under his
persoual direction. Among the
herd are a number of prize win
ners and almost any of them
might win in grpd company if
made ready for the ring. Most
ot the animals are Herefords, but
there are three Short-horns and
two Devons. They are all at the
corral of the Union Feed Com
pany on Ala Moaua, and i good
many people have gone there in
the last two days to view the
herd which is certainly a show.
. Without question the
Moved by the sight, the women
picked up two of the little strays
and drove on to a friend's where
the hungry creatures were fed.
Coming back a little later and
seeing the other two, the women
gathered them up also and
brought them to town where
they will be given to persons
wishing pets. So starved were
the kittens that they gnawed at
the women's toat sleeves, beg
ging for food. "Ham" and
Hamlir," and "Linn" "Lin
say" were the names given the
little wanderers by the humane
and kind hearted women, as the
incident occurred in Linn county
ana tne nist two tramps" were
fed at the Hamlin home - where
the ladies visited.
It the sparrow's fall is noted,
surely such cruelty as "dropping"
kittens will not pass unheeded.

The University of Oregon
opened its doors Tuesday, Sep

second days' registration showed
an increase of more than twenty
percent over the registration of
