The water receptacle should be shallow and should slope up gradually toward the edge. The vital factor in attracting birds is the food supply. This may be fur nished either by providing artificial food such as ciumbs.suet, chopped nuts and the like, or by planting trees, shrut s and herbs which w¡,I produce fruits or seeds that the birds them selves may gather. Winter feeding is the most familiar phase of bird feed ing, but there is no reason why birds should not he attracted throughout the year by a supply of food.

F O (From Hood Kiver (.lacier) The recent report o f the Engineer Corps of the United States Army, transmitted last week to the members of the commercial organization by Ma jor Arthur Williams, of Portland, to the effect that the proposed dredging of the mouth of Hood river was not feasible because of the heavy expense that would be incurred, is not pleasing to the Commercial cluh. Despite the unfavorable report from the federal engineers, the club members at their annual meeting Monday night, decided to proceed with plans that look toward an unltimate opening of a channel through the sandbar that has furmed north of the city. In his annual report, K. E. Scott ex presses the opinion that the proposal of a dock east o f Hood river and reached by piling will not be for the best inter ests of the city The club's plans of opening the old Hood river channel would bring the wharves close to the business district o f the city, while the government plans would take the dock nearly a half mile from town. Secretary Scott announced at the meeting that plans were under way that would render the club free from debt at the beginning of next year. New members of the board of direc tors elected were: W. L. Clark, J. M. Culbertson, C. J. Calkins and C. C. I emmon. They succeed R. B. Perigo, D. Ci. Cruikshank, S. A. Mitchell and A. S. Heir. Nicliol and Company M o sier.
