FOUR FIRST PRIZES
Great Showing by Mil1er's
Fancy Poultry-Other
Local Winners.

The great Lewis & Clark poultry
show has passed into history, and
true to her reputation Corvallis fur
nished her share of the winners.
DR.. Lester won hen and pullet in
White Wyandottes, with two en-
tries in a very large class. J. M.
Porter won second and fifth pullets
Silver pencil1ed Wyandottes with
entries against ST. Louis Worlds
Fair winners, and w. A. Bates
second cockerel in Rhode Island
Reds, with two entries. The pullet
winning first over Mr.. Porter was
raised from eggs purchased of him
last spring. Benton county has
more fine poultry than any other
county in the state, size considered.
Birds were on exhibition at this
show from every section of the
United States. and, in the opinion
of those who know, the White Wy
andottes, White. Plymouth Rocks
and Buff Orpingtons were fit to
exhibit in any poultry show in the
United States.
A successful breeder of fancy
poultry must also be an expert
poultry judge. At this exhibition
the greatest of its kind ever held
on the Pacific Coast, birds entered
for single prizes could not compete
for pen prizes. In Buff Orping-
tons F. L. Miller & Son entered
but three birds for single prizes, a
hen, pullet and cockerel, winning
first on each of the three. while
other exhibitors in the same variety
entered as many as three dozen
birds. These three birds of Mr..
Miller's are from a special mating
of his own, and were pronounced
by the several judges to be the
nearest true type Of an Orpington,
and the best even shade of rich gol.
den buff that they had ever judged.
The judges in the Buff Orpington
class were Theo. Hughes of In
dianapolis, males; Judge Holden of
Mimi, president of the American
Poultry Association, females; and
w. w. Browning of Ogden, Utah,
pens. In Buff Leghorns Miller and
son also won first and second cock
birds with two entries, the birds
being veterans in the show bus
mess, having string of first prizes
70 their credit from San Francisco,
Seattle, etc., and were formerly
owned by Gene Simpson.

HIS FUNNY LETTER.
China Boys Wrestle With English
Not Much Sable Mclean
Talk.

Over at Honolulu, Hawaiian Is
lands, there is bright-eyed China
boy. 20 years old, who has an idea
that he is pretty strong On the En-
glish tongue. He was patient of
DR.. Burgess of Corvallis, when the
latter was practicing physician at
Honolulu, and by that token be-
came indebted to the doctor. He
was unable to pay the bill when
DR.. Burgess left, but has made re-
mittance or two since. The latest
heard from him is in letter. writ
ten by the boy in good hand, but
which by its curious use of words
is quaint model of the English
speech. The letter is dated Septem-
Der 20, and is as follows:
81 take my opportunity to inform
you, depend on last year. lift
the Balance account of yours, which
my promissory had dismissed.

bad fortune as from last year to the
present which I had.

''Now I just beg your pardon to
excuse me for I didn't be honest as

ployed me to the Grocery & meat
market c. Q. Yee Hep & Co for a

month if my wages pay out I will
sent it over to you as soon as ]
can."

OUR SOCIAL CODE ENDORSED.

The Hon. Hoke Smith does
The News the honor TO indorse
and to put into practical applica-
ton the platform which we an
nounced on Tuesday evening.
Ia the editorial dicussing the
Observation-Disclosures. social
equality, The News suggested
that any women in the north who
selected of her own accord to walk
intoa public hall on the arm of a
negro, should thereafter never
walk into any subsequent assem-
bly on the arm of southern gen.
tleman, and that the purchase of
such cheap notoriety with fam
Gus negro should be at the price
of the social recognition of the
best and purest society of the
American continent.
Mr.. Smith declared that he
would not sit at Wanamaker's
table nor permit Wanamaker to
sit at his table, and this carries
into the campaign the principle
of social ostracism which The
News lays down as the only avail
able antidote to the virus of So
cia1 equality which is spreading
throughout the north.
1t only remains to say that
The News has already said a
thousand times that there is at
last but one inevitable solution of
this race question, and that no
matter how long it takes, in some
wise aud patient and conserva-
tive way the south must find the
solution of its transcendent prob
lem in the peaceable separation
of the races that make it.-Atlan-
ia News.

the mixture His motives have not even oien
cleverly disguised. He has little use 1or nc

for Booker's ambitions on certain lln's II
makes me tired to hear people reproacning
Booker for associating with Mrs. WarDurton
in the dining room of the United States hotel at
Saratoga. 1t didn't lift Booker up in my estlma-
ton, nor did I think less of him. am simply
absorbed in my disgust and contempt Tor the
woman. She pinned her own placard on herself.
If Booker likes such company, to his hurt, IL
is evident she has small respect for her race and
color, So there is no need of reproaching Booker
and shall certainly waste no pity or reproaches
on the woman.
They are only two of a kind and simply an
evidence of what one woman can do when she
wants to be seen and felt in official position, and
what many negroes would do if given the oppor-
tunity to find recognition and bask in social
equality with the white race.
There are said to be ninety thousand me-
groes in the state of Pennsylvania. In presl-
dental race Mr.. Wannamaker expects to lean
upon the negro vote because the whites have in
du1ged habit of rejecting him when he essayed
to lead in the state where he lives We will see
what it will lead to in the future. But if he leans
heavily on Booker he may miss his hold, for, as
before said, Booker is simply for Booker and the
money, and it is the habit of Booker to draw
money out of the gullib1e cranks of the north
and west.
Perhaps Booker will draw along as usual
with the greatest contribution for Booker's ben
eft and Mr.. Wannamaker will not be the first
politician who went down in the gutter to hud a
vote and came back besmirched without it.

I felt grieved that the president of the
United States let down his high office in similar
search for colored votes, but as for the Wanna
makers! Phaugh! They were doubtless en-
tertained to their particular liking.

The prohibition bill, introduced by Repre-
sentative Wilcox was not acted on by the senate
and is therefore a dead issue until the
next session of the general assembly. The
point was made against the bill that the adver-
tsement was not legal. Whether this be true
or not sufficient number of senator's took that
view of it to create doubt in the mind Of the
author Mr.. Wilcox, as to whether he would have
a sufficient number of votes to pass the bill
through the senate and for that reason, perhaps,
he left it on the table until after adjournment

SOCIAL EQUALITY IN THE NORTH.

Mrs. ". H FELTON,, in Atlanta Journal
The presence of Booker Washington at the
United States hotel in Saratoga, N. Y, as the
guest of John Wannamaker, formerly cabinet
minister, under Republican president, has the
appearance of political movement to my mind.
The fact that Booker conducted Mrs. War
burton to the dinner table indicates the quality
of the political movement and the man behind 1t.
It savors of social equality as the bait to be
held out to negro voters in the next presidential
race and of Mr.. Wanamaker's desire to be the
candidate of the movement.
Mrs. Warburton, nee Wannamaker, is ap-
parently willing to lend herself to her fathers
ambitions, and we may expect to hear the proc
lamation from the Wannamakers in due time.
announcing social equality as the basic plank
in the platform of the Wannamaker candidate.
Some people go so far as to condemn Book
err, and assert his injury to himself and his
cause by allowing himself entertained by the
Wanamakers after this fashion.
That is all rot and nonsense. Booker un-
derstands how to butter BOXERS bread. This
is an advertisement for Booker's purposes.
This reads we'll in England, where Kew. Alex
ander Bealer finds the negro in high feather as
a rara avis in certain classes of society. Maybe
Mistress Warburton has taken her cue from
English negrophobists, and for my part am
not sorry to be able to understand the under
living principles of the Wannamaker tribe of both
sexes.
have often wondered why Hon. Matt Quay
could move the state of Pennsylvania so often
and so easily to discredit the pretenslons OF the
Hon, John Wanamaker. Although Mr.. Wanna
maker said the hardest and the meanest things
possible of Mr.. Quay, when election time rolled
around Hon. Matt was always on top and leav-
ing Hon. John W. with empty bag to hold.
It was apparently a unanimous proceeding.
Pennsylvania had many opportunities to honor
Mr.. Wannamaker, but somehow, or somehow
else, Pennsylvania preferred to allow the Hon.
John to run his department store, while some
BODY else was preferred to serve Pennsylvania.
We may see more clearly now and understand
the quality of mans ambition who could con-
descend to put his own daughter in such an
equivocal position for a political purpose.
There is nothing to hurt Booker in the bus
mess. He is not hurtable in this proceeding.
He is simply being used by the Wannamaker
family, men and women, to win votes among
the co1ored people north and south.

the same instant a weight fell on his

The racers were passing under the

Joco, the ape, in an effort to obtain a
better view Of the course, had climbed
out onto the nose Of the vessel and a
violent swerve had thrown him off.
The scrambling ape landed squarely
on Hooks shoulders and hung there.
The chauffeur made every effort to
shake Off the burden but the ape only
clung the tighter, making IL impossible
for Hook to handle his racer, which
was going at the rate of about 500 feet
second.
The Hobgoblin swerved, its alumi-
mum gas reservoir shining in the sun
light, and bore down upon one of the
huge excursion vessels. Instantly 1t
was seen that a collision was inevi-

seemed imminent, but the captain, as
sisted by the crew, managed to pre-
serve order, and life preserver para

Hobgoblln struck the gas bag of the
excursion vessel, going completely
through and out the other side, SO
great was its momentum. Instantly
the excursionist began to sink, but the
hundreds of passengers leaped clear
of the wreck and gradually hoated
earthward being supported by the
parachutes.
With the ape still clinging to his
back Hook and his racer went out of
sight, while the torpedo boats dashed
TO the assistance of the wrecked ex-
cursionists, rescuing them all safely
before they reached the earth.
Hardly had the excitement subsided
when the Hobgoblin reappered with
the thoroughly pacified ape sitting
astride the top stringer. When Hook
ascertained that no one had been hurt
he was the first to congratulate Old

AERONAUT SCARS THE AIR
Roy Knabenshue Makes Tests of
Various Currents

Thousands of people surged and
swayed about Roy Knabenshue and his
sky wagon Midget yesterday afternoon
at Chutes park awaiting the ascension.
The Midget rose rapidly at the ap-
pointed hour, travelling northeast with
the breeze for several miles, then as it
reached another current of air, coming
back over its original course until il
hung between heaven and earth, almost
directly over the spot from which il
started.
More ballast was cast out by the
aeronaut and the balloon rose still
higher into another current, which car
ried it due south. So high was the
little sky wagon flying that it was
hardly discernible from the ground.
After being in the air about an hour
Knabenshue decided to come down and
he landed several miles south of the
city. This is the last of the three ex-
perimental trips which the we'll known
aeronaut had planned to make in the
Midget.
Knabenshue will probably soon leave
Los Angeles to join Capt. Baldwin III
New York.
