So it's pretty soft for "Silver Top. Dillon has four catchers, nine pitch ers, six intleiaers ana six oumeiuci from whom to choose a team, whereas some of his rivals have a German army corps eating on the house.

(Special.) Announcement of Federal aid, and the first complete co-operation of Federal, state and collegiate biologists, to make possible the completion of the biologi cal survey of Oregon was made today by William L. Finley, State Game Warden. The United States Senate is reported to have appropriated $5000 in addition to the agricultural bill, to carry on this work. This will be added to $8000 or $10,000 to be given by the State Game Commission, and $3000 ap propriated by the University of Ore gon. Mr. Finley also announces the per sonal assistance of Federal biologists from Washington, D. C. Among these are E. W. Nelson, in charge of the bio. logical investigations of the Depart ment of Agriculture: H. W. Hinshaw chief of the Federal Biological Service H. R. Fisher, in charge of the Eco nomic Investigation Department, and Vernon Bailey, of the Biological Ie partment. Co-operative Aid la Extended. "Last year we had some co-oper ation," said Mr. Finley. "but this year we have brought together for the first time all the scientific men in the Mate of Oregoh. In addition to A. C. Shel don, of the University of Oregon, and Stanley G. Jewett, we have the assist- nce of Dr. Bovard and Professor Sweetzer, of the university; Professor Peck, of Willamette University, and members of the faculty at Oregon Agri cultural College and at Reed College. "This means that we shall push to completion the first natural history ot the State of Oregon from the stand point of the state. We hope that some one will donate sufficient money for the construction of an Oregon museum. Until then the collections will remain separated, though the University of Oreeon will care for much in its mu seum." Survey Goes Kant From Eugene. The biological survey was com. menced last year (at Eugene and the entire state is being covered system atically. From Eugene the survey has extended east to the headwaters the McKenzte and north along the Deschutes to the Columbia. This year the survey will extend south from Eugene through the Coast Range and especially in Curry and Coos counties. To cover the whole state, according to Mr. Finley, wil take two years. The survey is for such rare sped' mens as the recently discovered lem ming. State and Federal naturalists have reason to believe that many may be found in Oregon, which, it is said is virtually unexplored from a natural- ist's standpoint. Many animals have been allowed to become extinct with out leaving to the world a single spec! men. For instance, there is no specimen of the mountain sheep once found in Steins Mountains in Southeastern Ore gon. The Smithsonian Institute has no pecimen of the Oregon wolf. There is no museum in the world with a spec! men of the white tail deer, once found in the Willamette Valley. Two speci mens were found recently near Rose burg. 1 x CHEW I RAL GETS AlO FROM THE G000 JUDGEj IF you want the cool, crisp flavored chew try "Right Cut," the Real Tobacco Chew.
