Must of Oregon Birds Are Friends of
Farmer.
University of Oregon, Eugene. In
all Oregon's four regions of animal
life, among the 400 or 450 distinct
species of birds found in the state,
only a mere half dozon are harmful
to Mr. Farmer or Mr. Gardener or to
anyone at all. The unwelcome ones
are, to dispense with tho disagreeable
thing first, the great horned owl,
which kills poultry; the shrike, or
liutqher bird, which preys on smaller
birds ; the cooper and the sharp
shinned hawk foes of poultry, game
birds and song birds; and the Jays,
which rob other nests and destroy the
young of smaller birds.
The climatic and geographical con
ditions of Oregon divide the state into
four distinct soctlons. eastern Oregon,
western Oregon, southern Oregon and
the coast regions. Tlis fact Is re
sponsible for tho state's wealth of
li'.rd and animal life. .
The coast regions, for Instance, are
the direct routes of migration for the
shore birds, and there sandpipers,
surf ii'nls, gull3 and surf ducks
' abound.
i
Western Oregon, In turn, is known
among zoologists as the region of the
transilionfor csts, and the territory
is rich in the bird life familiar to all
lovers of the university campus
crested Jays, tanagers, chickadees and
purple finches. Here, too. are the
famous game birds of Oregon, the
pheasant, quail and grouse, and
ducks in plenty.
Eastern Oregon Is a far country
from this and much of It Is called
the region of tho upper Sonoran des
erts. Desert sparrows, pinion jays,
sage thrashers and magpies are the
rule there, while the lakes aro alive
with ducks, geese and other game
birds.
Southern Oregon Is the intermedi
ate land between tho wet, humid por
tions of western Oregon and the dry
California regions. Many California
species never come farther north than
this territory.
An approximate list of Lane county
laud birds recently compiled and is
sued by the soology department of
the university shows 148 species for
this region alone, and in the list no
water birds of any type were includ
ed.
Almost none of these are Injurious
to crops, while oven the birds of prey
find themselves welcomed Into the
best society tor their service In kill
ing rodents, gophers and Insects.
Prof. J. S. MacMurray was in Ash
land Tuesday from Grants Pass call
ing on old friends. His music keeps
h'm very busy at Grants Pass and he
likes tho place, but Ashland has lost
none of Its charm for him. He Is
going to spend his vacation here th's

S. P. Ready To
Transport Armies
The entire resources of the South
ern Pielfic. eomnnnv nnrl niivlllnrv
'companies with tholr 45,000 employes
are today aligned with the United
States government for the mobiliza
tion of troops and supplies, actlug in
concert with tho federal authorities
under an arrangement worked out by
a committee of railroad executives.
President Sproule has named O. F.
Richardson, Southern Pacific super
intendent of transportation, as his
personal representative and assistant
in the work of handling government
work In th,e western district
Some time ago tho American Rail
way assoc'atlon appointed four comr
mittees of executives under the dlrec
, tlon of Fairfix Harrison, president of
, the Southern Railway. The commit
I tees represented the eastern, western,
southern and central parts of the
' country William Sproulo, president
jof the Southern Pacific company, is
chairman of the western department,
with E. P. Ripley, president of the
Santa Fe system, and J. D. Farrell,
president o,f the Oregon-Washington
'Railway and Nav'gation company, as
; associates. L. F. Lorce is chairman
of the eastern department; R. H.
; Alshton In charge of the central de
partment and W. B. Scott, chairman
of tho southern division. Each chalr
; man has associates representing all
the lines In his territory.
The expor'encc of tho roads In the
Mexican expedition last summer has
given tho railroad officials an indi
' cation of tho requirements of the
! country in war tlmo. The movement
of 100,000 men, with attendant food
; supplies, worses, motor trucKb. tents
I and other equipment was handled
with dispatch by tho carriers. S'nce
that time the lessons of the moblllza
Ition have been studied by the exec
utives with a view to Just Buch a
crisis as now confronts them.
The Southean Pacific compauy,
which handles tile burden of traffic
from the western district to and from
the border, has made all arrange
ments for duplicating the feat on a
larger and moro expeditious scale.
With wage controversies no longer
a disturbing factor, tho railroads are
in much better condition to meet the
! strain of the war than they would
have been a month ago. With the
approach of tho warm weather, con
gestion has disappeared to a great ex
tent, and the rules they have adopted
are showing good results.
To further tho co-operation be
tween government and railroad au
thorities, the transportation execu
tives have detailed special corps of
' tholr men to work with army off'clals
! at all (important centers of moblllza
i tlon, and it will be the duty 6f these
I men to assist in working out all the
problems of transportation that come
before military chiefs.

The troughs will handle 1.000,000

will be hatched. No hatching was
