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.

laud Oregonian contains tbe follow
ing, wbiob will interest Athena read
ers, tbe lady in question having at

"Tbe little town of Quinoy is all

"Amuse Hens," Is Order.
Amusement and exeroise for poultry
is advooated by James U. 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."

THE dynamiting of the Gamboa dike, severing the Inst obstruction to th
"meeting of the oceans," marked the practical completion of the
Panama canal. It let the water of Gatun lake Into the great nine mile
Culebra cut, and then the dredges started to clean out the channel and
devour what was left of the Cucaracha slide, near the Taclflo ocean end of the
cut The upper picture shows part of the dam with workmen getting it in
final shape for the explosion.. It took 1,227 charges of dynamite to tear a big
breach in the embankment Enough water had been previously let into the
cut to prevent a damaging rush of water from the lake.; The lower picture
shows an explosion of n workhouse built in the cut near the" data. - -
Hunt Company Insolvent.
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. Mr. Sharpstein, one
of the receivers, savs the first step will
be to make an inventory of tbe prop
erty and assets and to obtain as ao
curate a list as possible of creditors
with a statement of securities held by
eaoh. 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

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.
Mr. and Mrs. Leo Newton were at
tacked by an infuriated dog at Hakes
last week. Two calves wbiob tbe dog
had bitten previously died soon after
ward and Mr. and Mrs. Newton at
once called in Dr. ft. Biswell. who is
daily administering tbe Pasteur treat
ment. Mayor Palmer bas annoanoed . that
tbe subjeot will te brought up at tho
commisBloners meeting and the
various reports considered and if con
ditions warrant an order will be giveu
for tbe muzzling of every dog in
