C& N. i Company Behind Movement for More Meat Production. , . Tbe Oregon Com Show, promoted by the Oregon-Washington Railroad and Navigation company to be held at Pendleton, December 6tb and 6tb will . be one of tbe most interesting agricultural events transpiring in tbe Northwest tbis year. Over $1,000.00 in cash and agricul tural implements will be awarded in premiums at this show. Premium lists will be mailed all who apply or them, immediately. It bas been praotically demonstrated that corn can be suooessfolly grown in every district reaobed by the O-W. R. & N., and tbe purpose of tbis con test Is to show those who are etill skeptical what oan be done. Also to teaoh them t bow to do it. Speoial attention is called to tbe following quotations from a citoolar regarding free distribution of seed corn: "(Jet the best seed available; this should be an early maturing variety that has been grown in the looality for a camber of years. "If such seed is not available and yon wish to try one aore we will tar nish acclimated seed for one ; aore, if yon will agree to prepare the ground, plant and cultivate tbe crop according to directions, including tbe seleotion and oaring of seed, and deliver to the O W. -R. & N. company twelve sam ple ears, with a report of how the crop was grown and the result eeonred." The twelve ears of oorn oan be de livered to any agent of the oompaoy. They shonld be tagged with tha name and postof floe address of the grower. To spread the gospel of oorn growing tbrooghont the Paoifio Northwest means inoreased prosperity for farm ers and for every line of business. It means more and better live stook on tbe farms, inoreased productive capac ity of the soil, mora profitable re turns from meat production, more eo onomio food for dairy cows, better beef, pork and mutton. Competition at the Corn Stow is open to any person residing in the country tributary to the O-W. R. &N. Some have the erroneous impression that only those to whom seed is fur nished are to compete for premiums, whioh is a mistake. If yon grew your own seed or got it from a neighbor or from Iowa, or anywhere else, it makes no difference; the corn will be judged on its merits as corn. It is naturally expeoted that those who have been growing corn -for several years and saving their own seed selected with care, should win some of tbe best prizes. THE APPLE, KING OF FRUIT Consumed with Relish at All Tables of Nation Tuesday. All over tbe noion Tuesday tbe apple was exalted as "king of fruits." For that was apple day, proclaimed officially by Governor Oswald West, boosted by the Oregon development league and chambers of oommeroe and commercial olofcs throughout the land. Almost every hotel in the state and all tbe larger hostelries of Washington and California have fallen in line with the idea originating in Portland. Besides reports have bwen reoeived from hotels in far distant states that they served apples in evert way, in fritters, as sauces for meat, as jellies, in pies, dnmplings, as cider in soaps, and even the homely applejack, solaoe of many a weary farm band was dig nified into an appetizing cocktail. , Portland's celebration toos on a quiet bat general form. Tbe North ern Paoifio sent forth a great motor track fitted np like a dining ear from whioh colored waiters tossed thous ends of apples to tbe popnlaoe. Sev ersl civio clubs held special apple lunobeons it which the apple was served and landed ia song and story. OFFICIAL COUNT ON REBUS! WORKMEN'S COMSATION ACT GETS! BIG MAJORITY Marion.

Halpin, poultry man for tbe college of agri culture of tbe University of Wiscoofcin as a means of preventing tbe annual winter abortase of eggs. "Klgbt new poultry bouses shonld be deeply bedded with dry straw," said Mr. lialpio, "and the grain feed should te worked into this litter so tbe bens may get good exeroise and amusement hunting for it. If nothing of this kind ia done tbe flock will buddle together and lose all interest in life, and winter eggs will be few. It is well to get tbe bens to exercising and singing. They work for their feed."

United States Judge Ed Cusbman of Seattle bas appointed Gilbert Hunt and John L. Sharpstein temporary re ceivers of the Gilbert Hunt Company, on petition of the State Bank of Chi oago, whioh has a f 150,000 mortgage on tbe property. The Cbioago con cern stated that other suits pending and onntamplated likely would soatter the resouroes and depredate tbe value of tbe property.

A meeting if creditors then will ba held to work out a plan to .see if the property and assets oan be baud led or disposed of so as to realize enough to pay the debts. Hydrophobia among coyotes, dogs titteo by coyotes, and cattle bitten either by infeoted dogs or covotes is causing a deoided soate around Haines, Baker oounty, and vioioPy. George Hodson, a trapper, went: to . Baker with ten coyote pelts on which he collected tbe bounty, and be re ported that tbe coyotes in that violn ity are aoting deoidedly strange. Tbe coyotes, he said, are logy, seem crazy and allow a banter to walk right up . to them and shoot tbem down. "I was in the Idaho country trap- . ping two years ago when they had that tig hydrophobia scare over there," Mr. Hodson said. "Then the coyotes hnonn t.n pnt innr- na t.hnv . urn rtnino m - 1 now. They were logy and stnpid and soon began biting cattle and dogs. Many of tbe cattle died and Iwu per sons who were bitten by the coyotes died. A ooyote that ian't mad won't bite anyone. . . "Over near Haines there are more ooyotes tbis year than for a long time. The rat bits are thick and this brought them in. Tbe ooyotes surely have something the matter with them. I have been trapping them, bnt now they are so stupid that I oan walk right up to them and shoot them down." F. E. Pieroe, justice of tbe, peaoe at Haines, who accompanied Mr. Hodson, said that be bad killed a mad dog on tbe North Powder a few days ago. It was snapping and biting at every animal lo sigbt, Mr. Pierce aid, and tbe other dogs were all looked up until tbe bydrophobia stricken animal was olspatohed, He does not believe that in this instance any other dogs were Infeoted.
