WASHINGTON, April (Special)
When President Taft celled lha ex
it H. lon of Congress be did eo to

ivhen the Democrats accepted lha ex-
tra session with rood gracea they did
no imping to accomplish something In

Ikxb wlnge of Congress, then, bad
personal achlevementa to accomplish,
and each wna eeemlngly willing to con.
redo something to the other In the
hops of accomplishing for self. Things
have not changed much aa to those
. ambitions on either aide, bat that Con
frtno la changing aa to what It will
ho anle to do there la a certainty.
The (tftnocrata In Congress are not
ret certain aa to what they really want
lo do. They wish to- do aoroelhlng
that will aid thont In electing tha next
prcultlt-nt, and on the other band Taft
wUhrs to do something that will
strengthen his own chances, or falling
in that wishes that Congreaa may do
om.-ihlng that will weaken tha oppo
sition. The situation la still confusing and
s-ben the . uncertainty among Demo
crats Is taken Into consideration, and
the Insurgency In the Republican party
li ai-rounted for, thera never, parhapa,
was s Congress around which clung so
much of uncertainty aa In the present

The President la leading a aadly di

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.
Residents of Portland, and particu
larly those who live In the suburbs,
are being encouraged by the society
lo build bird houses and put them up
in their gardens or orchards so the
birds will nest there, making thla a
city of aong birds as well aa a place
noted for Ha roses. 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. The country here Is newec
and the song blrda have not yet taken

"Blue-birds, wrens. . white breaated

midst of the woods," said Mr. Flnley.
"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. Aa a rule, our
winters are mild enough so that many
songsters would atay the entire year.

MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT THAT

TELLS OF ACCEPTANCE OF CHAIR
Announcement at Prayer Meeting
i Thursday Comas as a Surprise ..
to Soma of Hie Congre
gation. .
Rev. W. M. Proctor, paator of the
Congregational church, announced to
his congregation at tha prayer meeting
aervlce Thursday evening that he had
received and accepted a call to a pro
fessorship In Pacific University, at
Forest Grove. Mr. Proctor baa been
tendered the chair of Biblical Litera
ture, succeeding prof. Ferguson, who
went to Albany aom little time age.
Rev. Proctor did not read hla resig
nation, but announced the action he
had taken.. He Informed hla congre
gation that he bad already started
certain work for Easter time, and he
did not purpoaa to leave until that bad
been completed, but that when that
time did coma he would tender hla
resignation officially. .. He will begin
his labors at Forest Grove Mayl.
In order that tbe church her, uay
not be without a minister, and that
aervlcea may contlnne without a break.
Mr. Proctor offered to serve tbe
church continuously until such time
as4 his successor is secured and In
stalled In tbe work. He can and will
come over from Forest Grove each
Sunday, filling the pulpit and attend
ing to tbe Imperative dutlea th? go
with a pastorate.
To some his announcement came a?
a surprise but to others It waa nothing
more than waa expected. Mr. Proctor
baa done considerable teaching tn -tbe
past, and tbe work haa something of
a fascination to him. hence it la only
natural that he should long to return
to it. Thla waa known to certain of
the congregation and the present step
Is but a natural sequence to the condl-
tlona aa they existed. Mrs. Proctor Is
In poor health, and the work at Forest
Grove will not be ao exacting and wilt
enable Mr. Proctor to devote more
time to her comfort than la possible
with a pastorate claiming hla atten
tion.-
Tbe people of the Congregational
church will be loth to eever the pres
ent pleasant relations, and to be com-
dp ed to aaa In aeek out a man to
take ud the work In ihla city: Rev
Proctor haa been ministering to this
charge for the past year.
NEW CRUSHER A BEAUT-
Maple Lane Bridge Strengthened So
Steam Roller May cross ix.
Road master Frank Jaggar etarted
the new rock crusher at Oak Grove
Wednesday and reporta the machine
doing a great work. Any old boulders
that could be aecured were used In an
effort to put the machine to a aevere
test. The machine crushed thera nice
ly," and the hardness or the boulder
ititrinr did not seem to affect the
machine In the least.
Tha hridie at Maple Lane haa been
strengthened so that it la now safe to
take the two new roiiera across u
whenever desired. The new roller will
be started to work on the Highland
road near the Intersection of Molalla
nuid the first of the week. There la a
piece of road near the Molalla Inter
section that neeas to oe remau, a
this will be done at once. Then the
machine will be taken to the Molalla
road near Clalrmont where there la a
piece of plank road that will be re
placed witn atone.
The two new rollera are doing
great work and the people who see
them work are pleased wuu me in
creased prospect for good roada that
these rollera promise.,

for the big work that la going on at

Is truly wonderful, and adds:
"People who do not know of the
magnitude of the work now being per
formed at River Mill, on tbe Cazadero
line, by tbe O. W. P. Ry. Co., should
visit that locality. The natural basin,
at the mouth of which the dam. Is be
