but, on the other hand. the entries were
larger this season, and the grade Of
birds on the whole higher; there were
fewer birds of inferior appearance,
and competition was very keen and
close.
Attendance was very good, and a
notable influx OF school children is one
of the most encouraging signs the
management has observed. The edu-

was considerable from an intensely

LOG DEMAND NOW STRONG
Camps May Halt Operations Soon
Till After Holidays.

Astoria-The logging camps in this
district are running full force but it
is understood they close down for the
Christmas holidays. While there is
no shortage of logs, nor is one antici-
pated, the demand is strong and prices
good, and practically all the camps are
expected to resume operations as soon
after the first of the year as the crews
can be assembled.
The output of logs from Clatsop
county camps will be considerably
larger next year than it has been dur
ing the present season. This condi-
tion will result from the opening of
the Crossett Timber company's new
camp in the Big Greek section. the
opening of the Palmer Logging COM
pany's camp ON the Walluski river and
the increased operations by the West
ern Cooperage company, after the
completion OF the extension of the AS
toria Southern railway to the cooper
age company's large tract of timber
in the Clatskanie River district.

badly gone.

having considered 1t worth while to

Cornish birds WAS fair. There was not
a large representation Of Minorcas

THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD.

Senator Hepburn seems to think that the Congressional Record is get ting to be a daily joke-boo in the opinion of the newspapers, and he has come forward with the plea that it's circulation be built up by selling it at the nominal price C. $l a. year. With his inexperience as a circulation build CT, the senator is positive that there will be no difficulty in getting about 1000, 900 subscribers. By so doing, he figures that the public at large will get better idea of politics than the newspapers give.
 The Congressional Record Is a full report of the proceedings of congress and varies according to the amount of business, discussion. and sparring. Last Friday there were 55 pages, and on Saturday %. which, at the rate of 2,O00 words to a page, means the perusing of much dry and uninterest- ing reading for anyone. Such doc ument is necessary for the preserving of accuracy in both houses, but no one ever thinks of reading except some special portion in which they might be interested. The price of the publica- ton now is $S a year.
 To have the voter uplifted mentally and informed on political matters through a report of the congressional doings a much more condensed ac- count must be issued, and likewise be impartial to have it accomplish it's purpose. Life is too short to spend the time necessary to read the Congress sional Record daily
