The Show is On.

During the last few days before
the opening of the Corvallis
Poultry Show a number of our
chicken fanciers were as busy as
bees making preparations for the
exhibit. The show opened on
Thanksgiving Day and the day
before saw very large number
of coops of fancy-bred chickens
come in by express.
The exhibit is we'll worth any
body's time to visit. In fact, it
is of great interest whether you
are engaged in the chicken busi-
ness or not. For many it will
prove an education. Those in
charge report a much higher class
of birds entered this year than
last. In numbers it will be on a
par with theashow of a year ago.
However, this is counting chick
ems only; if one were to reckon
/ the many rare and beautiful
|pheasants and pigeons to be seen
| at this exhibit the number far
surpasses collection of the show
a year ago-and that one was
high-class.
We are now right in the height
of our glory in the matter o.
chicken show this year and have
on exhibit at the Opera House
some as fine birds as the country
at large produces. This is no1
idle talk, but fact. We prefe,
you to doubt our word aud 8visi
the show for your satisfaction OF
this and other points. Every
thing is cleanliness itself and !:
special effort is being made tt
interest the ladies in the show
The management would greatl,
appreciate chicken show part,
and here is an opportunity TO
some of our ladies and gentlemen
to come to the front in move
way.

down In book the law they were to
follow. They were promised that as
long as they carefully preserved this
book they shonld continue great and
powerful, but II they lost it their great
ness would depart from them. One day
the book was carclcssly left lying out
side tent, where II bullock found and
devourcd It, From that fatal day their
decadence set iii, and TO the present
time whenever an OK dies of disease or
is killed his entrails are rcliglously ex-
nmincd TO see if any trace OF the book
can be found. If found they believe
they should recover their lost power. 1; :
