Unique fmong colonization movements la the work of the Oregon Audubon Society; which la making a strong campaign thla spring for more songbirds. Every Inducement Is to be given these feathered frlenda of man kind to aettle and raise a future gen eration of songsters here.

It Is hoped the whole State will do a aimltar work. . President Flnley of the Oregon Au dubon Society aaya tbe criticism la often made that thla State haa fewer birds than tha East, or at any rate they live In the woods farther from the cltlea.

"Aa theae are being cleared away, many of the blrda ara hard put to It to find new homes. If people would make bird houses and put thera In their gardena, they would soon be rented, the birds would learn to come to the city Inatead of being driven further Into the woods to find their homea. w "If soma---of , our .song blrda were supplied wtth food during the winter they would likely stay here and not migrate to the South.
