PLAN FOR BIG CONVENTION Dairymen of Oregon Will Meet In Eu gene One Thousand Strong. Elaborate preparations are being made for conducting the 1910 session of the Oregon State Dairy Conven tion. As was announced some time ago, the officers of the- Association de cided to accept the Invitation of the Eugene Commercial "Club and hold the meeting In that city on December 8 and 9. D. C. Freeman, Secretary of the Eu gene Commercial Club, was In Port land last week visiting the creamery men and making arrangements for co operation In holding this convention. Eugene, as every one knows, Is a live city and Is bidding for conventions. They will extend a royal welcome to the dairymen of Oregon on this occa sion. . A splendid hall will be provided for the convention session, and also for the display of dairy machinery and dairy products which will be on hand. There will be a list of premiums of fered for creamery butter and also for dairy butter, "and cream cheese, and for display of dairy products. A feature of the convention which will be different from anything In the history of previous sessions, and of un usual Interest at this time, will be a demonstration of the effects of tuber culosis In dairy cows. Several animals will be slaughtered under the direc tion of Dr, E. E. Lytle, State Veterin arian. Thla will be an object, lesson to dairymen which should be a draw ing card .to every dairyman in Oregon. Creamerymen and buttermakers of Oregon will meet in Eugene December Z, to complete an organization and discuBs matters of importance t dairy ing. Dairymen are Invited to attend this meeting, which will make really three days convention. , The Eugene people write that they are preparing to accommodate one thousand delegates to this convention, and I wish to make a personal appeal to the dairymen of Oregon to be pres ent. Let us make this the biggest con vention ever held in the West. Dairy ing is not on the best footing and many are of the opinion that it is growing worse. Considerable dairy legislation Is being planned, some of It of the most pernicious character which will do harm to the Industry. Let us meet in a body, consider these matters, and decide on what kind of legislation we want. Then we will go to the legislature with sufficient force to carry our ideas through, and pre vent any other legislation from being passed. CARLE ABRAMS, Secretary.

FAVORS SAN FRANCISCO CANAL EXPOSITION SHOULD BE 'HELD ON PACIFIC COAST. Prominent Railroad Man Says Claims of New Orleans or Other Gulf Cities are Ridiculous, The matter of the selection of a site for a world's exposition to celebrate the completion of the Panama Canal will come before Congress for decis ion next month and the two rival claimants for the honor have for months past been marshalling their fortes for the final struggle. Both are confident of winning the coveted en dorsement and both will have repre sentatives on the ground to present their respective claims before the com mittees ofthe Senate and House. On the one hand is San Francisco, the hustling metropolis of the Pacific coast, the city which stands to profit more through the completion of the canal than almost any other city in the United States. On the other hand Is New Orleans, the Louisiana metropolis, located on the Mississippi, sixty miles from the gulf of Mexico, which will add noth ing 'to Its export trade through the opening of the canal and which will derive no direct benefit from it. Ninety per cent of the exports from New Orleans go to New York or Eu rope, and they will continue to go that way after the canal is opened to the commerce of the world. Ships from the Atlantic seaboard and from Eu ropean ports, with cargoes for the Pa cific coast or the Orient will not ap proach New Orleans on their way through the canal, either going or coming. The great majority of them will touch San Francisco, and In the case of many of the larger ships, San Francisco will undoubtedly be made a regular port of call. . The Panama canal was designed pri marily to promote trade between the Atlantic coast and European ports with the Paciflo coast and with the Orient, by providing a shorter and cheaper route. From a commercial point of view New Orleans' Interest in the canal, compared with that of San Francisco, is nil. Guy M. Walker of New York City, a prominent capitalist and railroad or ganizer, well known throughout the east and southeast. Is emphatically and enthusiastically for San Francisco as the site for the proposed Panama exposition In 1915. Mr. Walker re cently visited San Francisco and while there expressed his preference in un mistakable terms at the same time giving' strong reasons for his opposi tion to New Orleans. . "I am for San Francisco first, last and all the time as the site for the Panama exposition," said Mr. Walker, "and I am unalterably opposed to New Orleans. For New Orleans, or any other gulf city, to advance a claim to the proposed exposition to celebrate the opening of the Panama canal la ridiculous. "Now Orleans handles the exports of the Mississippi Valley, and the cotton and wheat of Texas, and 99 per cent of that goes to either New York or Europe. It will never go through the canal and the attempts of, the New Orleans boosters to get the exposition on the ground that the canal will add materially to the export trade of that city is preposterous. "The Panama canal is essentially a West coast proposition. It was con ceived and is being built with the pri mary object of enabling eastern man ufacturers to ship their products to the Pacific coast and to Oriental ports by a shorter and more economical route, and to facilitate trade between the Pacific coast and European ports. It will benefit San Francisco ten times as much aa It will benefit New Orleans. "The summer timo Is the time for vacations and travel, yet the mere Idea of New Orleans attempting to hold an exposition In the summer is prepos terous. What with the heat, the plague! of mosquitoes and the feve New Orleans is In the summer what General Sherman called war." Walker Is chairman of the reorgan ization committee of the Columbus, Delaware and Marlon Railroad of Ohio and also of the reorganization committee of the Indianapolis, Craw fordsvllle and Western Indiana Rail road Company. "I am Interested In railroads in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana and have been in New Orleans dozers of times, so I Ihlnk I am qualified to judge. I am going "to New Orloana again In a few days.
