WHY PORTLAND LOSES
lPOrtland Telegraml


 It is quite evident that Portland is to into it's in the matter of furnishing supplies to the Alaskan Engineering Commission, we'll to other government branches. It develops, however, that there is why eggs have not been purchased here before. The commission in buying wants do in carlots. When bids have been submitted here tofore, company would offer 100 cases, another a like amount, and there it would end. They would confess an inability to furnish carload If their offers were accepted it would mean the eggs must be shipped in ordinary might be four five days the road and wharf before being loaded on the Alaska steamer and the result, if the weather warm, is only too evident The present order for 300 which is being filled here is split two three ways
 From reports reaching this city, the Alaskan En- gineering Commission is shipping 250 to 300 cases of eggs from Seattle each week to Anchorage and about 100 cases to Seward. Any part of this busi- be placed here, provided the bids are right. What is asked for is No 1 select ranch eggs packed in
 If Portland dealers would spruce up there is no reason why they should not have much of the commissions business they want. They supply the goods if they want to- and should put forth their best efforts It's cinch the commission will not fall it's knees and beg Portland houses to sell them eggs anything else, but its business is well worth going after
 From information at hand it's squarey up to Portland institutions what they do and do not get.

FOOD AND DRINK ESSENTIALS
Divided Into Five Important Classes
Grain Feed and Water Are
Most Important.

The essential food and drink for
poultry may be divided into five
classes, as follows: First, grain food;
second, vegetable food; third, meat
food; fourth, minerals In the form Of
grit and shell; fifth, plenty of clean
water to drink.
1t may be useful to keep this divi-
sion in mind. 1t may be well also to
ask oneself whether he is giving his
flock all of the five classes of food and
drink. All of the five are of first I'M
portance. A flock can get along after
q fashion without one or two Of the
five named, but not to very good ad-
vantage The best, most economical
results will be secured by the use Of
all of the five classes. The first and
fifth are the most important, doubt
less.
