Judge H. H. Collier, of Tacoma,
who scored the birds aud placed
the awards in Cottage Grove’» late
poultry show, had the following in­
teresting article iu the January
number of tho Northwest Poultry
Journal, relative to Cottage Grove
and its first poultry show, which
will be read with interest bv maqy
of the local fanciers aud patrons of
the sh ow :
When it comes to poultry shows,
the small cities take tho “ bun” for
attendance. I have seeu many first
time shows and have always said
that the town of Iillensburg, Wash.,
took the banner, but from this time
on I am forced to put the "broom ”
where it belongs and give the

Grove Leat anything I ever attend­
ed. There were birds of nearly
every variety, and some that are
not often seen in the show room.
The officers of the Cottage Grove
show were about among the best
fellows I ever met in the business.
Cottage Grove is a pretty little
“ dry” town, except in winter, aud
a little city that Las a bright future
before ^t. It reminds one ot an
“ Island,” a valley, surrounded by
hills. The merchants are up to
date, which was shown by their
liberal donations to the special
prize list of the poultry show.
Business men little realize what
a source of advertising it is to give
these special prizes to poultry
shows. It generally shows about
seventy-five to a hundred active
poultry workers iu their viciuity
who are tjieir friends, but on the
other hand it shows the stranger,

F. H. Rosenberg, president of
tbe show, is a born diplomat and

believe that the Tokio authorities
would have conceded Port Arthur.
W . C. Conner is a good fellow
and a secretary that tries to keep
up with the business and the awards
went up as fast as you see them in
an ordinary show.
Harry K. Metcalf, who acted as
clerk for the judge, was there with
the goods and lie delivered them on
