Those people who intend profit

selves disappointed, for while
there are several hundreds of

the white and buff varieties. Many
breeders considered A. H. Carvosso's
Buff Wyandottes the best exhibit in
the show. Mr.. Carvosso has bred
these birds for many years and has
certainly implanted the desired type
firmly in them. Gus Bogan's first
prize pullet was easily the best White
Wyandotte in the show and possibly
the best bird of all there. H. F. Hoyt
and F. w. Muntz showed some fine
White Wyandottes.
Collier & Whites Black Langshans
were the feature of the Asiatic class.
G. W. Goldthorpe of Everett had a
very creditable display of Cochins and
Langshans and Edw. Scherer of Eu-
gene, Or, showed very choice Light
Brahma cock and hen.
Leghorns were a weak class both
in number and quality. This is prob
ably accounted for by the difficulty in
having these birds in good condition
for an early fall show. F. A. Baldwin,
one of the California exhibitors, made
good showing in White Leghorns
with Miller Bros. sharing the honors.
The first prize pen, owned by John
Rothamel, attracted much attention
because of it's superb condition. In
Brown Leghorns, Miller Bros. showed
the best single combs, while Fred A.
Johnson made the best showing in the
rose combed variety. Fred also had
dream of a Buff Leghorn cockerel.
Minorcas were not very strong
class, but D. V. Ault's whites were
certainly a splendid lot of birds. The

Mrs. Sullivans Bluffs were fine lot
and Mr.. ]. G. Ray, another California
exhibitor, took first prize on a very
fine pen of Bluffs. T. j. Parry's
Whites were about the best exhibit in
the English class.
Fine exhibits of Houdans were made
by the Madrona Poultry Farm and by
Mrs. Emma F. Reid. In Hamburgs,

enough to win anywhere.

the four most notable exhibits from

A special telegram to the St.
Paul Pioneer Press from Moorhead
tells of visit of the members of
the house normal school committee
to the state normal at Moorhead,
and incidentally gives the solons
(including Representative Opsahl)
credit for heroic acts during fire
at the normal building.
Says the special from Moorhead:
"Moorhead, Mimi, March g.
In the eyes of all normal school
girls the visiting members of the
state legislature, Messrs. Swayer,
McGrath, Gartside, Opsahl, Emmell
and Chaplain Ellis, are nothing less
than life savers and heroes. While
the legislators were lunching at
Wheeler Hall, the girls dormitory, an
alarm of fire was shouted from the
second floor. President Weld ad-
vising the company to keep their
seats went to investigate. He
found the partitions ablaze on the
second floor, just above the kitchen
ranges.
The fire was too far advanced to
fight single handed. Accordingly
President Weed turned in the alarm,
ordered all doors and windows. closed
and fastened back into the dining
room. I want all the women to
stay here he said, but I want all
the men to come and help me put
out this fire.
