Pigeons, Bil gian HareH, Ktc, Make MoHt IntereHting Variety. Class! That iH the word. The Fourth Annual Poultry show of the Oregon Poultry and Pet Stock associa tion, held in Portland, December 9-14, wbh the best yet. It was the most in teresting and most successful ever held in the state. The entries wero very large. About 1500 birds were shown, and nearly 250 individual exhibitors had birds for scoring and prizes. Heisdes chickens, which were shown in 33 classes, there were some fancy stock, Guinea pigs, pigeons, P.elgian hares, etc. The ap pliances exhibits were also exceptional ly good and a study of them was well worth while to jioultrymen and those interested in the business. Modern coops, up to date feuding apparatus and all sorts of foods -and remedies were shown. The Plymouth Rocks were most nu merous of any single class. In the Rock section there was a really remark able collection of cockerels the larg est and best ever gathered in the west, and the birds were particularly nne. Entries were maue lrom every purt of Oregon and Washington was well represented. Birds from Idaho were also present, and California too, .had representatives. Following the Rocks, the Wyandottes were per-t haps next in number. Then came' the Leghorns, and then the Rhode Island Reds and Orpingtons. The showing of games was not as heavy as in some past years, but the represen tatives of both pit games and the big Cornish birds was fair. There was not a large representation of Minorcas either, but excellent birds, both black and white were on exhibition. Among the Mediterranean group the Anconas and Andaluians were noted. A good showing of Hamburgs, too, was noted For the first time in a Portland show the Sicillian Buttercups have been entered. This is a new breed. The combs are cupped, and supposed to re semble the flower for which the birds are named. These birds are Mediter raneans, and appear to be larger than most of this group. They are of gold en plumage with a peculiar dark mot tling,. Their owners claim a heavier bird, a better meat and quicker growth than any other fowl in the group, and a very large egg production. They are attracting no little attention 'among the lovers of new breeds, and they are handsome In bearing and plumage. H. H. Collier, of Tacoma, has the scoring of the American breeds, in cluding the Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, etc. Judge Miller Purvis, of Windle, Idaho, scores the Mediterranean birds. Many fine birds were entered in the show a year ago, and it is a matter of doubt if this year shows any finer birds from an individulal standpoint; but, on the other hand, the entries were J.-nrxl itiw, Mnult'-Comb Buff U-ithurn Hen. 2.

Attendance was very good, and a notable influx of school children is one of the most encouraging' signs the management has observed. The edu cational value of poultry exhibitions was considerable from an intensely practical standpoint. The accommodations were excellent. and the room at East First and Morri son streets was large and well venti lated. . Twenty-five silver cups, as well as the Page trophy and many articles of beauty and value, were given as special premiums and sweepstkes. Following is a partial list list of prizes awarded : ' S. C.

NEW ROAD MEASURE URGED Lane County Grange Will Work for Road Patrol. Springfield At the last meeting of the Pomona grange of Lane county a resolution to be presented to the county commissioners, asking them to take und.er advisement the suggestion of a county road patrol, waa unani mously adopted and a committee ap pointed to present it to the court. The resolution says "that experi ence in several American states dem onstrates that a systematic road pa trol, by sections, for road repair work wherever needed at the time when it is needed and when it can be done most economically, is the only satisfactory method of keeping roads in usable con dition, and the county court would seem, under the law, to have full power to adopt and put in - practice patrol system, sectioning the road therefor and placing in charge of each section some person, whether super visor or other employe, whose duty it shall be to inspect his section of road at frequent intervals and make repairs which may be called for at any time.' INDUSTRIAL BODY IS RICH W ashmgton Commission Report Shows $316,000 in Treasury. Oympia Since the state industrial law went into operation in October of last year, there have been 228 acci dental deaths in hazardous occupations covered by the act. In 133 cases pen ns were awarded to dependents. One hundred and four men were killed in lumbering and milling, and employ ers have automatically paid $403,000 into the state fund. Claims have been paid to injured lumber workers and dependents of $289,000, and there has been set aside in reserves $114,000 to meet pensions. The next greatest death loss was in the coal mining in dustry, with 21 fatalities. In all, the commission has collected $1,200,000, has paid out in claims $600,000, has set aside reserves on claims already approved of $284,000 and has a cash balance of $316,000. for Bandon Women Plan Club. Bandon, Or. At a well-attended meeting of the women of Bandon it was decided to form a woman's aux iliary to the Bandon Commercial club. Mrs. L. P. Sorenson read to the meet ing an article from the Oregonian on commercal clubs for women, which reading did much to enthuse those present. A box factory is being built near here by George Geisendorfer. The bulk of the boxes will be spruce. All modern machinery is being installed and the factory will be one of the most up-to-date on the Coast. Rain and Snow Aid Wheat. Davenport, Wash. November, as observed by the station at Davenport. had a mean temperature of 36.9 de grees, which is five and a half degrees warmer than the mean for the same month in 1911. Rain or light snow fall on 13 days of the month netted 2.42 inches of water, every particle of which went into the ground and aided greatly in bolstering the winter wheat already sprouted. In November of 1911 the rainfall was 1.8 inches, brought on by the heavy snow3 of that month. School Children's Fair Organized. Orenco B. W. Barnes, county superintendent-elect; S. S. Duncan, su perintendent of Yamhill county; W. T. Macey, president of Yamhill county school fair association, and M. Mc Donald, president of the Oregon Nur sery coumpany, were the speakers at an enthusiastic meeting here recently to organize the Orenco School Chil dren's Fair association. Fifty adults have already joined and 80 of the school children. All are enthusiastic and a splendid fair next year will no doubt be the result. Signal System Nears Completion.
