1AITIOUS COW FOR STOCK SHOW. Fair Queen, Au Attraction at Lewiv and Clark UxpoUtiou. Fair Queen, the champion of many fairs, and as a cow which has never been beaten, entitled to rank as one of the greatest show cows living, it is en tered in the shorthorn class at the stock show which is to be held at the Lewis and Clark Exposition from September 19 to 29. Fair Queen took champion ship honors at the World's Fair, at St Louis last year, and also at the Inter national ive Kto'k Show held at Chicago in 1903 and 1904 and at the American Royal Show at Kansas City in the same years. She is the holder also of various premiums won at lead ing state fairs all over the country. "In the shorthorn ebow the class' of cattle will be the highest in the United Statts," said H. D. Wisdom, livestock superintendent at the Exposition. "It will be a show of great quality and one that people cannot afford to miss. The shorthorn show in general will be equal to any show ever held in America of this breed of cattle. ''In the ho stein class," continued the superintendent, "The Hazelwood Farm Company of Spokane has entered 20 head ot show stock chosen from 70 head which the company purchased m Wis consin. These are the best of the class to be found. They will compete against the world's champion herd of the Tierce Land and Stock Company of California, a herd which is without question the tinest in the world. The Pierce Land & Stock Company imported 40 head from Hollind last year and the bull thbt beads the herd is one of the importa tion. He is considered the finest bull of the breed living today. Besides these two herds, John B. Irvin of Wis consin, whd won at St. Louis last yeBr, and P. A. Frakes of Oregon, who also owns some St. Louis prize winners, will will show at the fair. "In Jerseys there will be shown a fine and select herd from The Hazel Fern Farm owned by the W. S. Ladd es tat e. This is one of the finest herds of Jerseys in tLe world, and the stock sent to the show ring will be the vey fineat specimens of the breed procur able anywhere. In competition with the Hazel Fern herd will be the herd of Dr. Stilt of Missouri, which was promi nent among first prizd winners at St. Louis lift yer, and which has be-n re-, cuperatfd in size and merit. Betides theeo two there will h a number of local h'jrds of quality, including those of i Harry j West, 1. 11. Looiuv, A. C. Martin, B. Altman and Atkinson Brothers', all ot O.-egm.

The Airtight S(ove Company, of Portland, has given up its right to a contract for the leasing of convict labor at the HtPte Peni tentiary, and Governor Chamberlain ha? d dared its certified check of $500 forfeited to the eta'e. The company failed to satisfy the Governor as to its ability ti fulfill the contract for which it waa the succestful bidder, the reason given being that tbe loss of the com pany's plant in Portland had materially l educed its property holdings. The company had been awarded a ten-year contract at i.S cents ppr hour, but failed to make good. It is now doubtful whether the Gov ernor will let any contract soon for the leasing of convict labor for a t rra of years, and it is certain that when a con tract is made it will not be for more than five years.

At the end of the year tbe number of pensioners had de clined to 99S.441, a net increase for the year of 3679.
