< CENTRAL E01NT HERALD. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 24, 1908. Carload Chicago Children H U «IS B Z tr ? • Coming ENJOY to Oregon. Portland, Ore., December 21, 1908. (Special Correspondence.) Fifty school children from Chicago are to be brought to the Alaska-Yukon- Pacitic Exposition next year if the plan suggested bv Secretary Tom Richard­ son o f the Oregon Development League is carried out. They will also visit Portland and other cities in this state and when they return home will write letters telling o f the trip and what they saw in the Northwest. Exhibits o f the woods o f this section, with industrial and scenic pictures, have been used in the Chicago schools, made up into sets and circulated from one school to an­ other, in the teaching o f geography. C. A. Kinne, secretary o f the El Paso, Texas, Chamber o f Commerce, is mak­ ing a tour o f the Coast and is spending considerable time in Oregon communi­ ties studying the publicity methods of the various commercial bodies. Mr. Kinne’ s organization is building a $50,- 000 building o f its own, and is deter­ mined that the work it undertakes shall be effective. The Northwest Electric Light & Power Association, embracing Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Montana, held a two days’ session in the ccnvention hall o f the Portland Commercial Club last week. Every state had numerous delegates and the meeting was one o f the best they have ever held. The Northwest has attracted the brightest men from the technical schools o f the country. Poultry raisers are taking lots of interest in the coming show o f the Lane County Poultry Association at Eugene December 21st to 24th. Handsomely engraved silver trophies will be given as prizes. The poultry product o f Ore­ gon is valued at five million dollars an­ nually. Dr. Stephen S. Wise, Rabbi o f the Free Synagogue o f New York City, retains an ardent affection for the Pacifiic Northwest, his residence for several years. In commenting on the prize apples recently sent to European rulers and exhibited in New York, he w rites: “ Why is this fruit sent to such indifferent Oregonians a i Edward, Wil­ helm, Nicholas and Mr. Fallieres? If you really want Oregon apples to count don’ t waste them on European mon- archs, but get them into the systems of Oregonians, who love and treasure everything Oregonian from little Mount Hood to big Oregon apples. But the apples wouldn’ t be kept long on exhibi­ tion in our homes here; they would vanish as the mist hovering over the Bumrait o f Mount Hood before the morning sun.’ ’ The convention o f the Oregon State Dairy Association at Salem last week was the most successful ever held by that body. Washington and California were represented in both attendance and exhibits. The grand prize for best display o f dairy products was awarded to F. A. Schubinger, o f Salem, for an exhibit comprising twenty-six varieties •d cheese. The Douglal Creanrery Co., o f Roseburg, won first award for high­ est scoring creamery butter, F G. Mattke, o f Sweet Home, for highest scoring dairy butter, and T. J. Ballan- tyne, o f Hobsonville, for highest scor­ ing cheese. The dairymen pledged a fund o f $160 per i»/mtb for the employ­ ment o f an expert to bring dairy condi­ tions throughout the state up to the highest possible Rtandard. An appro­ priation o f $0000 will he asked from the Legislature. President F. L. Kent, o f Corvallis, was re-elreteHL with Carl Abrams, o f Salem, secretary. The time of next year's meeting will be chosen to harmonize with the date selected by the Washington Dairymen, who meet at Chehalis this week. Hon C. L. Mitchell, o f the Dairy Division, U. S. Department o f Agriculture, is in Che- halis for this meeting. It Is a Wander. Chamberlain’ s Liniment is one o f the most remarkable preparations yet pro­ duced for the relief o f rheumatic pains, and for lame back, sprains and bruises.
