Pacific NORTHWEST LIVESTOCK AS

PACIFIC NORTHWEST LIVESTOCK AS
soCIATloN.-In quality of stock eX-
hibited, in the number of thorough
bred animals entered. the prices
realized by stocklnen for their fancy
exhibits, the attendance and the alb
sorbing interest manifested in the
show, not only by breeders of the
entire Northwest Livestock Associa-
ton, at Portland, last week, was
the most successful event Of the
kind ever held on the Pacific Coast.
Weather conditions were ideal and
thesattendance was estimated to eX-
coed 5000 for three days. The quail
ity of the stock was so far superior
to that shown in 1911 that officials and
stockmen were positive that the
grand champions of former shows
would not have been eligible even
for the smallest prizes this year. The
champion carload. consisting of fif-
teen magnificent Herefords, was prob
ably never surpassed, if equaled at
any exhibitions in the United States.
This carload was sold at auction,
bringing $40. 10 per 100 pounds almost
81 per 100 more than the price paid
for the champion carload last year.
The grand champion steer, also a
Hereford, entered by the University
of Idaho. was beautiful two-year-old
of almost faultless proportions, and
sold for $120 per pound, on foot, a
price which has been exceeded but
once in the United States for single
meat animal. The second prize steer
was sold for 80 cents per pound. A
prominent feature of the show was
the splendid exhibit of hogs from
Eastern Washington and Oregon,
alfalfa fed and wheat-finished in every
instance and equaling in size and
quality any similar showing made in
the corn and hog-growing States of
the Middle West. Prices for hogs
average nearly 8 cents per pound,
live weight.

To MEET THE ANTICIPATED DAM
AGE, PRoaREss IN NAVAL WARFARE.
Plans for q sixteeu-inch naval gun
that will hurl q 1000. pound she'll and
penetrate armor at fourteen miles,
the most gigantic and powerful piece
of ordnance yet contrived, are now
complete in the Office of Rear Admiral
N. G. Twining. chief of the United
States bureau OF ordnance. Recog-
nizing the truth, in part, Of Hiram
Maxim's belief long before he ex-
pressed it that battieships Of tremend-
GUS gun-power and almost incredible
speed will soon rule the seas, the navy
department many months ago set
about finding a solution of the problem.
The sixteen-inch gun Underworld be
able to reach an army beyond the
horizon is the first result. A sixteen
inch gun was constructed for coast
defense and tested at Sandy Hook,
but proven q failure. All Of its de-
fects have been remedied in the new
naval gun, which experts are firmly
convinced will revolutionize naval
warfare. Belief was expressed in the
Office Of Admiral Twining that q bat.
aeship able to speed more than thirty
knots an hour will be retained in the
next naval program.

Roosevelt on an Unstable Platform.

At Portland, Me-, on Saturday the
23d inst, at an immense gathering
at the auditorium, the rear section
of a large eXtemporized stage, on
which Mr.. Roosevelt and other prom
inent citizens were seated, fell to
the floor. AS the trestles on which it
rested gave way, a warning shout
probably FASTENED the result. Mr..
7. r. grasped the arms of his chair
and fell backwards, performing the
undignified act of showing his heels
to the auditors. He arose and hasti-
ly approaching the front, shouted:
" L. is all right. Nothing but the
stage gave way. Our campaign is
still in the ringl'
While this remarkable scene went
on, policemen busted themselves in
helping Roosevelt's adherents off the
wrecked platform. Some of them,
who were there to grace the stage,
had tumbled upon others in the sud-
den crash, and were seemingly un-
able to crawl out.
Roosevelt espied Gov. Bass of New
Hampshire, in the struggling mass
and seized his arm. The Governor
came up with a smile upon his face.
" You cannot keep good progressive
man down." cried Roosevelt pointing
to the Governor. The crowd cheered.
None of the stalwarts who had gone
down with the platform we're hurt.
Most of them took seats on the side of
the stage.
When quiet was restored, ex-Su-
preme Court Justice Enoch Foster
picked his way to the front
of the sunken stage and introduced
Roosevelt.
I'VE have just lost our platform
here. began the Colonel. ''Imean the
physical platform. That of our cause
has not been hurt. The American
people will have to stand on our plat
form of Democracy. 1t will never
break down."
The audience cheered Justify. Roose.
welt steadied himself on the uncertain
platform and plunged into his speech.
The audience that crowded the
was Of the oldtimc spirit.
The streets surrounding the auditor
ium were clustered long before o.
clock and when the doors opened
there was o rush that quickly filled
the hall. More than 900 were I'M
able to get in. 1t was the GROWING
triumph of q crowded day. In the
vast audience were men who had
journeyed from every quarter of the
State to hear the Colonel.
A second wrecking of the fimsy
stage on which Colonel Roosevelt
spoke was averted at the con-
clusion of his speech. A number
of enthusiasts started to mount the
stage to shake hands with the Colonel
and at the same time the stage be-
gan to sink. Policemen quickly sur
rounded the platform and held the
crowd back.

C0sT OF WARMTH IN THE EAST
Edward J. Allen, a towney of Olym-
pia years ago, now living in Pitts
burg, Pa, writes to Robert Frost on
the 9Th inst: II have been prac-
tically at home all winter, and have
missed the summer airs of Florida
and the fishing thereof. We have
had the severest Winter of thirty
years, and it is still keeping it up.
March came in like a proverbial
lion, and there is no indication so far
of a lamb-like departure. But we
have comfortable house and the
internal heat is never permitted to
drop below 60 degrees, although it
may have been down to 10 degrees
below zero outside. The only draw
back is the natural gas bills. The
company has q monopoly and $50 or
more q month seems too high for
warmth. When we burned coal, it
cost no more than that per annum.
But when the crocus appears the gas
bills diminish"

The above doubtless refers to the
original manual formulated by Gen.
Baden Powell, in England, who was a
soldier in the Boer war.
The American organization in its
manual evidently attempts to elimin-
ate the war features. However, they
seem to have been adopted by the
California organization.

master of the local squad in Olympia,

OF Certain Sections of Yves
tern Country is Issued by
the Government.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec, IL
A ane typographical map of the
area known as the Randolph
quadrangle, in Utah and Wyoming
has just been issued by the United
states Geological Survey. This map
includes the southern half OF Bear
Lake. Utah, and portion Of the
Cache NaticS1al Forest. The Areo
mapped Is a little less than 200
square miles. Through its eastern
portion runs Bear river, an exceed
ingIy tortuous stream meandering
through a fiat valley from two miles
to ave miles in width, in which are
located the towns OF Randolph and
woodruff. The map shows that the
river, like most other meandering
streams, has by abandoning parts OF
its course in favor Of shorter cuts
made numerous oxbow lakes. some
of which are entirely cut of and
others are in process OF formation.
The waters of Bear river are largely
diverted and used for irrigation
The Cache national forest IS very
rugged mountainous country, with
attitudes Of 1000 to nearly 5000
feet. The elevation OF Bear lake IS
924 feet. The topographic field
work in this quadrangle was done in
19O9-1O by Albert Pike and A. q
Martin, topographic engineers Of the
United States Geological Survey
The map is sold by the director OF
the survey at five cents copy.
