The county breeders will have an exhibit and each w ill contrib ute stock to this herd but no separate exhibits. The reason? It is too ex pensive. The price charged for straw grain and forage at the International J Live Stock exhibition and at other fairs is usually about four times what such stuff sells fo r on the local mar ket. By winning a fair share o f prizes the exhibitor may break even on ex penses but charges and fees are now' so high that there is little inducement for the breeder to take the time and pains necessary to make his stock fit for exhibition. G. W. Ingram, trustee fo r the creditors o f the Pember & Snell stock was in his younger days a printer em ployed by the East Oregonian o f Pendleton. He tells that at the time o f the election o f Harrison over Cleve land in 1888 the evening edition was late, aiming to get the returns in what w'as a closely contested election. The room where the forms were be ing made up was filled with citizens of Pendleton, anxious to get the lat est information, among them being W alter Pierce, then county clerk of Umatilla county now governor of Oregon. When the form was locked. Ingram picked it up to carry it to the press. In working his way through the crowd his foot slipped and he and the form tumbled together. In the process he thrust his knee through the form of solid type and “ pied” it. C. S. Jackson, proprietor o f the paper, uttered an agonized yell and made for his private office upstairs. Of course it was too late to set up that form again, the page was filled in with anything that came handy, and the East Oregonian's morning com petitor had the election returns. John Muir, the scientist had in his younger day a passion fo r invention. He invented thermometers and ba rometers while living the pioneer life in the most primitive circumstances in Wisconsin and in which inventions mercury was not ar. clcn ent. He in vented a clock that had a singh hand and was operated by two large stones. While a student at the univer sity he invented a bed that would dump him onto the floor each morning that would start a fire in the stove and open up the proper book he was to study and place it before him. Just as the bed set him on the floor a lamp was mechanically lighted. A fte r a cer tain few minutes allowed for dressing had elapsed a click was hoard and the flrst book to be studied was pushed from a rack below the top o f the desk, thrown open and allowed to remain the number o f minutes required. Then the machinery would close the hook and allow it to drop back into its stall; then move the rack forward and present the next one in order, and so on; all the day being divided ac cording to the times o f recitation, and time required and allotted to each study. In the summer time, instead o f us ing a clock to control the bed machin ery; he took the lens from a spy glass and focused it so the sun burned a Dr. Chas. V.
