REGULAR PORTLAND LETTER Oregon Apples Win Honors At National Show 0 DEVELOP PORTLAND STOCK MARKET Oregon Has Only Known Herd of Ibex Existing on this Continent Portland, Ore. Nov. 30. State pride ran high during the past week because Oregon apples won the grand prize at the National Apple Show at bpokane in com petition with apples from all over the United States. Tronson & Guthrie, growers of Eagle Point, Oregon, were receiving congrat ulations on all sides over their success, and the victory was such a splendid one that the whole state took pride in it. The Rogue River Valley, of course, is enti tled to all the honor for it grew the aDDles. but fruit raisers of the whole state feel proud of the victory. Tronson and Guthrie captured the sweepstake prizes at Spokane on a car of Spitzenberg apples and the victory carried with it, in addition to blue ribbons ana medals, a check for $1100. The decision of the judges in making the award was unanimous. The growers have only five acres in bearing orchard and had not expected to exhibit at Spo kane. It was not until a large Dart of their crop was marketed that they decided to enter a car, No particular selection of the whole crop was made for exhibit but Only the best of the apples remaining in the orchard. Of course these were carefully cali pered and selected with reference to size and color. Other Oregon growers won prizes at Spokane and the victor ies show in a most tonvincing way that this state is the home of the finest apples. Concerted efforts to develop the Portland livestock market on a big scale have been begun dur ing the week by livestock men of the Northwest in connection with the railroads in the matter of more favorable rates. A con ference was held between a num ber of representative stockmen, the management of the local stockyards, and the trafic man ager of the railroads centering here. Uniform livestock rates that will be of great benefit to this market as well as to the stock raisers throughout the territory are expected. Oregon dairymen are showing great interest in the annual con vention of the state association, to be held in Portland December 9 and 10, and the attendance will be large. Many prizes have been offered for the best showing of dairy products made at the convention and the exhibits will undoubtedly be the best made in recent years. The creamery companies of the state are offer ing prizes and the Portland Flour ing Mills offers a purse of $100 to go for the two best exhibits. The Portland Commercial Club will give a reception Thursday evening, December 9, to the dairymen and members of the State Horticultural Society. . of According to W. R. Parker, Baker City, who has been in the city during the past week. Ore gon has the only herd of ibex known to exist on the continent. le discovered the rare animals in the vicinity of Mount Eagle in the Cornucopia Range and urges that a game preserve be created there for their preservation. Unless this is done, Mr. Parker fears the ibex will be extermin ated by hunters. The Portland Fair & Livestock Assocation has elected officers as follows for the coming year: President, E. L. Thompson; vice president, C. C. Colt; treasurer, Julius Meier. G. A. Westgate was chosen temporary secretary.

Pro motion of the livestock interests of the Northwest is the aim of the organization.

Monmouth High School Notes The students are intent upon their lessons in view of a test soon, but nevertheless, we may hear an occasional remark of some brilliant pupil, which we collect and entitle as follows: WISE AND OTHERWISE. Teacher: "What is a phrase?" Mr. C; "A phrase is a sen tence that don't mean any thing. ' ' MissW., (In Physics,) "When insects walk on water, why don't their feet go under?" Prof. C: Because their feet don't wet the water." Teacher: "How many marbles will it take to make a square having twenty on a side?" Charles: "Sen." Miss Shore: "I can't see that statement" Prof. Clark: "Well, that is be cause you are so small." MissG. (In Phy. Geog.) "A volcano is accompanied with a very loud noise like thunder." Charles: "Oh thunder, the real thing?" ! 1 i i f i i 1 1 1 1 ( ? 1 IN J r
