In meat and fish and butter markets of Portland women of the School of Domestic Science yester day found noisome odors till they couldn't count. And besides the odors they found filth and rottenness beyond the power of polite diction to describe; poultry blue and black and yellow with decay and poisoned with en trails yet undrawn; shrimps em balmed with salicylic acid or other preservative, and restored to their native hue with aniline dye; fish exhaling offensive perfume from nauseating heaps on filthy counters; butter and milk and cream exposed to contamination of dust-laden at mosphere and noxious vapors; meats either slain too soon after arrival on earth or kept to long for trade; putrid and loathsome flesh cooked into lard or ground into sausage; oysters opened unwashed and cast into tin pails too foul for fish-bait all this surrounded by disease breathing garbage, fetid rubbish, floors soaked with corrup tion, walls lespattered, ceilings fes tooned with cobwebs, unventilated, scarce lighted and never seeing the sunshine. J. W. Bailey, State Food and Dairy Commissioner, accompanied the women and confessed that his eyes had been opened and that he could not imagine worse conditions This was after he had denied that the evil conditions existed and had saia mat tne tales ot tnem were creations of imagination. Dr. Mae II. Card well, of the City Board of Health, declared the reve lations ''beastly" and "fierce" and beyond expression foul. ''The markets should clean up," she said determinedly; "'they must clean up; they must be made to clean up." Accordingly she noti fied each offender that the strong arm of the law had not waxed short "But." said the woman of the School of Domestic Science who led Mr. Bailey and Dr. Cardwell through the dens of filth, "the arm of the law stretches out not far enough. We must have an inspect or to enforce cleanliness and sanita tion every day. One year ago the public arose in wrath and the mar kets grew decent. But that was only for a brief span. Now look!" And the woman looked and be held again the filth and rottenness and the uncleanness. "Ugh!" they said. Portland Oregonian, April 10.

Utah has decided to erect a state building at the Lewis and Clark exposition. Such was the conclus ion of the commission after an in spection of the exposition grounds and the selection of a site. The structure will be ideally located J just north of the New York build- uig aim ou the slope of Lakeview Terrace. It is planned to erect a building loo feet long and 85 feet wide. The lower floor will be utilized for exhibition purposes, while the sec ond story will be arranged for the reception of visitors. Fifteen thous and dollars will be expended for the building. No difficulty will be experienced in having the building completed and the exhibits installed before opening day, as the work is to begin this week. One of the most important features of the Utah display will be a concentrator in ac tual operation, located in an annex. The construction will cost $ 10,000 and will be one of the most novel displays of the entire fair. Four men will be required to operate it. It will show the process of refining gold, silver and copper from the time the crude ore is turned in un til it comes out as refined metal. The rocks containing the minerals will first be crushed and then the different ingredients will be separ ated, all wilhin the view of visitors to the centennial. Crop Report. The winter was favorable for fall sown crops ot grain and grasses, except in a few scattered localities in the eastern sections, where the cold weather in February killed some grain that was not well pro tected by snow. The re-seeding of these areas was soon afterwards completed. The fall grain which came through the winter unharmed is in excellent condition; the plant is well rooted and it has stooled luxuriantly. Forage crops have made excellent growth and pas tures and ranges afford abundant feed for stock. Lambing is well along and the losses have been slight. Goat shearing is nearly completed and an average clip of mohair has been secured. The season is much earlier than usual, and the farmers have their work well in hand. Spring plow has advanced rapidly and many farmers in the Willamette valley have their spring wheat seeded. Early sown spring grain every where come up to a good stand, and the grain crop generally is in a very satisfactory condition. Rapid progress has been made in planting gardens, and those planted early are making good advancement. Hops are doing well aud the culti vation of the yards is in active pro gress; some vines are far enough advanced for training and twining, and this work now requires con No better made.

Corn planting has just started in Southern Ore gon. Several frosts occurred during the past few days and fruit, which is generally in bloom, has suffered to some extent; reports as to the amount of damage are conflicting, but apparently peaches have been injured tne most. Peach, plum and pear trees have bloomed very full, while the apple trees are not so full of blossoms as usual. The soil is now in excellent con dition for plowing and germintaion, but more rain will be needed be fore long, as it is drying out rapidly. The Sunday Oregonian says that with a score of 1 1 points, E. B.
