of the methods of fertilization and
cultivation that he used with such
marvellous results. He says:

sang several Christmas songs and
played a few of of their kindergarten
games for their guests, and assisted
in delivering the presents, which
they had made themselves. After
all the gifts had been distributed

the first affair at which the little
folks have entertained, and it was

Portland, June 2.-Receipts at
this market for the month of May
we're 1852 cattle, 1862 sheep, 1OO57
hogs and l52 horses. AS compared
with the receipts of year ago there
was an increase of 1870 cattle, II 80
hogs, 5O73 sheep. There has been a
decline in prices all along the line,
but it has been slight and compared
with the central markets on the Mis-
souri, River, North Portland shows up
to big advantage.
Cattle have gone off so to Is cents
during the month. The bulk of the
supplies have been from California
points and the quality has been good.
1t has been a sellers market and buy
ers have had to pay stronger prices
than would have prevailed if quantity
or quality had permitted.
The sheep market was fairly steady
at the end of the month at the heavy
decline that took place with the begin
ming days. There was feeling of un-
certainty as to sheep values but
prices we're toboganned about 81. 90
per hundred and at this writing price
and demand are steady.
The hog market is slower in com
parison, but the demand is brisk and
while prices are off 10 to % cents this
market is $l.O0 to S1.25 higher than
Omaha.

for farmers of this section to make
handsome profits by devoting a por

ing livestock for the market.

S. Deneen will be Cullom's successor,
is believed by politicians TO have been
clearly forecasted in the Republican
convention here yesterday when the
plank endorsing Cullom was taken
from the platform at the last minute.
AS adopted the platform makes no

clares that the plank was stricken
out at Cullom's request. but the agea
senator did not attend the convention.
He remained In his room at the hotel.
II was the first time he had ever alb
sented himself from a convention In
his long term Of service, and the first
time a convention failed to commend
him.
II Is admitted that Deneen Is In
complete control in Illinois, as was
clearly indicated yesterday by the

through without a hitch.
Senator Cullom was first elected to

continuously since that time. His
