BIG CATS AND cATNIP.
Leopard and Tiger Fairly Rsveled In
the Odorous Plant.

Some one M the Washington zoolog-

th.. authorities to try the effect Of cat
nip on the animals there So far as
known catnip does not grow In the
nnfive homes of these animals, and
this was the first time they had ever
snlelled it
The scent OF the plant 6lled the
whole place, and AZ soon as 1t reached
the parrots corner the two gaudily at
tired macaws set up note that told

When the eatnip was brought near
them they became nearly frantic.
They were given some and devoured
It, stem. leaf and blossom. with an
eagerness that equaled the noise of
their cries
Next trial was made on an African
leopard Before the keepers had reach

parently asleep. and stood expectant
double handful OF catnip was passed
through to the floor Of the den.
Never was the prey of this spotted
African In his wild state pounced

a mouthful Of the stuff. then lay flat
on his back and wiggled through the
green mass until his black spotted gel

Then he sat on a bunch Of the cat

IDAHO BUILDING AT FAIR.
Work Started on Gem States Pavilion
at Panama Exposition.

Work orn the construction of the
Idaho building at the Panama Pacific
Exposition in 1915 was begun at San
Francisco this week, according to ad
vices from the exposition city.
The Idaho pavilion will occupy an
imposing place on the north side of
the site set aside for state buildings,
and will overlook San Francisco bay.
The structure will be rectangular, so by
% feet, and two stories high. It will
cost approximately $4,000.
One of the most original features of
the pavilion will be large room on
the ground floor in which moving pie
lures of Idaho IS scenery and resources
will be shown daily to all exposition
visitors. Films are now being made for
this purpose in every part of Idaho and
$4,000 will be spent in this feature
alone.
The central portion of the ground
floor will be devoted to a state display
of Idaho products. An office for the
idaho exposition commissioners and
other officials also will be located on
this floor. The second story will be
devoted to reception rooms and other
parts of the state exhibit.
In exterior decoration, the general
color scheme arranged for all EXPOSE
ton buildings will be followed for the
Idaho pavilion and its facades will be
of stucco of the color Of Travertine
marble. There will be entrances on
either side of both the front and back
of the building.

THE WEEKS MARKET REPORT.

Receipts for the week at the North
Portland stock yards are announced as
follows: Cattle 1853, calves IL, hogs
6742, sheep S195.
That cattle prices did not break bad
ly and cause panic this week is the
remarkable feature to the trade. Fol-

day came forth with veritable de-
luge of cattle and buyers prevented
disaster by cleaning up the supply and
relieving the congestion. Beef outlet,
however, has been narrow ever since
and very poor demand rules. Killers
got some good hay-fed steers at prices
ranging from 800 to $40 and cows
$500 to $3.50.
Hog trade was steady to firm during
the entire period. Mondays run broke
all records, the. total being 295O head

seemed to welcome this big run as it
contained many cars of firm, smooth

which have hitherto been neglected be-
cause of the commercial impraetieability
of the treatment of them.
Two years ago Dr. Ricketts, and his
associate, Dr. Banks were asked to make
professional and scientific examination
OF process which, it is claimed, could
be used over and over again, is the
case of the cyanide process in the treat
ment of gold so that vast deposits OF
American copper hitherto commercially
unavailable could be made commercially
practical
DR.. Ricketts, had no other interest in
the proposition than that of man OF
science. In his laboratories a thorough
investigation of this process was hade
which justified a report to his chents
that while by this process oxidized copper
ore could be economically ana CONNER
cially treated and the siheeous ores as
we'll, yet it was impossible successfully
to make repeated use of the solution.
That renort ended as DIR. Ricketts, pre-
sumed. lis professional relations with the
matter Subsequently he was asked by
William II. Alexander if he would under
take to make researches and experiment
tai tests with view so to perfecting the
process as to make it possible to use the
solution over and over again. For If that
could be done then the problem of sue
!
ores, which have hitherto resisted COM
mercially practicable treatment would be
solved. For cash fee not involving any
remote or contingent interest in the in
vestigaton DIR. Ricketts, and DR.. Banks
undertook TO make the needed expert
ments and researches in their chemical
laboratories. After a time, they were
able to report to Mr.. Alexander that they
had perfected a process by means OF
which the solution could be regenerated
after having once been used and then by
successive regeneration utilized over and
over again. Their process is a cyclic one.
For the identical solution used in a treat
ment of copper ores is after certain re-
generation reutilized, and experimental
tests have shown that ii can be utilized
as many as 90 times and possibly more
times than that
The process is adapted to the treatment

In the great copper districts of the
