HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 12, 1929. PAGE FIVE Biological Survey Cares for Wild Life Saving the wild birds and animals which are of use to the United States is one of the big tasks of the U. S. Biological Survey at Wash ington. This branch of government activity is under the Department of Agriculture and is busy constant ly with scientific experiments which are of interest to those concerned with the preservation of our wild animals and birds. In writing of some of the tasks performed by the Survey, W. C. Henderson, associate chief of the Bureau of Biological Survey, says In the current issue of the National Republic: "There are very few people either in the city or town or on the farm, who do not enjoy the time spent in the open, in surroundings of hills and streams, forests, lakes and meadows. All love our country's 'rocks and rills, and its woods and templed hills,' and not the least of these enjoyments is that produced by the presence in these places of the song and game birds, the deer and other big-game mammals, and the smaller and elusive fur bearers, "Nor does it detract from the beauty of the wonders of nature to know that we are preserving the wild birds, and animals for our con tinued enjoyment and for the pleas ure of future generations by meas ures based upon scientific investi gation. Our national Congress has created a wild-life service of the federal government to conduct the necessary research and to apply measures of conservation and con trol. This agency 1b one of the scientific bureaus of the Depart ment of Agriculture, and is known as the Bureau of Biological Sur vey. "The Biological Survey serves the man out of doors and the public generally by studies of all phases of our wild blrdB and four-footed ani mals. It maintains refuges for their perpetuation. It administers laws designed to allow proper use and enjoyment of this great natural re source and at the same time to pre vent such abuse as would bring the various species to ultimate if not speedy extermination. In coopera tion with the states it undertakes measures to control predatory and other Injurious species. "The individual states have sole power to enact such laws as relate to the hunting and trapping of non migratory game and fur-bearers. They cooperate, however, with the federal authorities in regulating the hunting of migratory birds. "To obtain the fundamental In formation necessary for a wise ad ministration of our wild-life re sources, biologists of the Survey for the past forty-four years have been collecting authentic information re garding the life habits of birds and Over the .300 Top for 5 Years Yr Gamci AB.

This opens up a complex situa tion, for every form of wild life re quires food for its continued exist ence, and In getting the food that It has been accustomed to take for untold generations, it is sure to come into competition in some places with farming and other in dustrial activities. The Biological Survey Is striving to protect the in terests of both the wild life and of the farmer and stokman, and work for the preservation of the valuable and harmless species of our wild animals and birds." The mean man who used to starve his horse nearly to death and still make it work, has found that he can't do the same thing to his automobile. Livestock Shippers May Face Increase in Rates Portland, Ore., Sept 10 "If the railroads have their way at the final argument in Washington, D. C, Oct 1, livestock producers of the Mountain-Pacific Northwest will be put at a permanent disadvantage as to freight rates," declared William Pollman, vice-president of the American National Livestock asso ciation and past president of the Shippers' league and the Cattle and Horse Raisers' association of Ore gon, after going over with Arthur M. Geary, attorney for shippers, the reply briefs just filed at the office of the Northwestern Livestock Shippers' Traffic league here. The railroads are not satisfied with the proposals of Examiners Stiles and Parker to increase the THE I fPlAj Ifcw Controlled Servo Enclosed foflkpc unrivalled for smooth, sure, silent operation in any weather To Buick, pioneer of four-wheel brakes, now falls the distinction of another major achievement in this same vital field: the development and introduction of Buick Controlled Servo Enclosed Brakes the most effective four-wheel braking system ever devised for any automobile! Buick's new brakes are of the highly effi cient internal-expanding type. They are fully enclosed fully protected against dust, dirt and water and thus assure maximum braking effectiveness under all weather conditions. They represent the highest development of the self-energizing principle, which makes the car's own motion provide part of the braking effort; They reveal un matched respon siveness to the slightest pedal pressure. And they are so perfecdy controlled that "grabbing"' is en tirely unknown! When you apply these brakes, you obtain the most positive, as well as the smoothest and most silent action you have ever experienced in any automobile! Drive the new Buick! Test not only its matchless new brakes but its brilliant all round performance, riding comfort and driving ease all of which combine to estab lish the new Buick as the greatest value ever offered in the fine car field!

HEPPNER GARAGE cattle and hog rates 7 to 16 per cent above the Oregon Cattle Rais ers' scale found reasonable by the commission In 1926, Mr. Pollman pointed out and in addition they ask the com nission to raise sheep rates correspondingly. "Although the Hoch-Smlth reso lution passed by Congress In 1925 as heralded as an agricultural re lief measure, it is apparent from the proposals of the carriers and the stand taken in the proposed re port of the examiners that there is possibility of the railroads and va rious market Internets gaining and tne producers losing," said Mr. Poll-man. Mr. Pollman has not been able during .the past few years to take an active part In the work of the various stock associations with which he is affiliated because of ill health. However, he keeps in con stant touch with developments in the livestock freight rate investiga tion and is a strong advocate of keeping open the widest possible channels of distribution for live stock, as evidenced by the follow ing statement: "Under the Hoch Smith resolution the commission is Vaughn & Goodman Heppner, Oregon WHEN BETTER AUTOMOBILES ARE BUILT .
