Entries for the approaching poul-
try show are being received by the
secretary, daily, and it is now plainly
evident that the greatest expectations
of the management are to be exceed
ed The poultrymen of Pendleton and
vicinity are at last beginning to real
ize that the show is for their benefit
and that it is a great opportunity for
them and are therefore arranging to
bring all their best birds to the show.
From present indications there will
be some local breeders represented
with % or so birds, some of them
declaring that they want all their
breeding stock scored and that they
will not keep stock that does not
reach a certain standard.
AS the association was formed for
the benefit of the poutrymen and the
development of the industry in Una
tilla and Morrow counties it is par
ticularly gratifying to the manage
ment to find such a great amount of
interest being manifested by the To-
cal breeders.
But if they are gratified with the
local interest they are more than de-
lighted with the interest being taken
in the big show by the leading breed
ers of the northwest. Among the
leaders who will be here is J. f. Win
die of near Portland. He is secretary
of the Oregon State Poultry associa-
tion. one of the leading breeders in
the northwest and in addition to be-
ing one Of the large exhibitors at the
show he will be one of the principal
speakers.
The secretary received a letter from
Mr. Windle yesterday in which he
said he would bring a large string OF
birds, including Orpingtons. Buff

Myers would send Barred Rocks and

TOWN AND VICINITY.
The Pity of 1t.
The Columbus co. Jo"r"oi says

The Columbus (O) JO"fHdt says
There should be enough of the refining in
huence in public authority to see that the
appearance of a city is pleasant. 1t is not
only pleasure to have it So 1t is business;
A town that is well kept attracts people, ana
they incline to live there.
But it is an immense pity that town S
enterprise in this direction has to be
tested by its approval of schemes that do
not appeal to the popular sense of right.
Such is a measure which, having the
good Of the whole in view, Is made to
bear with two-fold weight upon those
who, comparatively, own the least stock
in the town.
In palmer terms, it is pity that the
word has to go out to the country that
Frostburg is opposed to public improve
ment because measure providing tor
&C., per cent. of special individual taxa
ton is put up as the price for such I'M
prOyement.
