Lovers of birds In tlio northwestern portion of the 1'nited Stales who wish to at tract the feathered wild creatures to live and nest about their homes may receive valuable suggestions as lo methods of protection, feeding, and tlio provision of nesting places from Farmers" Bulletin 700. recently pub lished by the I'. S. llepartiuent of Ag rlculliire. Tlio publication relates lo Washington, Oregon, Idaho. North ern California, nud the western half of .Montana, and Is the second of a series of bulletins suggesting methods of iiltrncting birds in various sections of the country. One of lite 1'ii'st steps a householder must take 11 he wishes lo attract feathered wild life about ills place It to provide protection from natural foes, especially cats. If a complete bird sanctuary Is to be created, the area set apart for tills purpose should be Inclosed by a vermlu-proof fence which cin neither be dug under nor climbed. The principal feature of inch a barrlPr Is n top curved outward or bent outward at right angles. If the construction of such n fence is im practicable, n more limited protection may be supplied by placing guards on trees to prevont cats and other anl- janls from climbing them. Sheet met al cuffs, completely encircling the tine, or cones of like material, fitting lightly at the upper edge and flaring downward, will servo the purpose. Another essentlul Is to furnish breeding places. Close-growing shrubs make excellent sites for wests. They should be trimmed back severe ly when young to produce numerous crotches, llird houses also should be placed about tho homo for tho species which will use such nesting places, but care should he taken that too ninny such houses are not furnished. Ab a rule, birds do not Ilka being crowded. It breeding placca nro to bo provided for ground-nesting birds, such as bob-o-llnkc, meadow larks, and bobwhltes, grass should be al lowed to grow thickly nud long in ap propriate locations. Copies of the bulletin may be had freu on application to the II. S. De partment of Agriculture- as long' us the department's supply lasts.

Ttall road lawyers and Attorney Ccneral Gregory continued todai' iheir confer encen in an attempt to a Kite on one suit involving; test of the Adamson act to presa for early consideration by the supreme court. Difficulty In reaching un agreement arose mainly it is believed, from anxiety of tho railroad representatives lo pick from sunny cased pending in federal courts ;one covering typical londitious faced I by all roads. ! Kailroad lawyers thought the Atch i teon. Topeka and Suma Fe case, set 1 for hearing today at Kansns City, in volved all points at i.-sue better thy 'any other, but dopurtmeui of justice I officials were inclined to favor t lie j .Missouri, Oklahoma and '-iulf caye in j which Federal Juile iiouk at K1111- sas City yesterday held the Adamson , act unconstitutional. I Selection of a test cat? would re ' lieve the department from defending a multitude of suits already filed as It 1h understood all railroads will agreo not to press individual suits or Institute new actions pending decision in tho tost cases. STATE CONTROL IS CAUSE (Continued From Page One.) First Duty to I'nblic. "Tho railroads accept the view that regulation 1b a permanent and endur ing part of government in America and that the first duty of tho carriers is to tho public That duty is to afford reasonable facilities on reason able terms and at reasonable rates and that this must he dono before any private interests can he consider ed. :.

No. 1 MEDFORD, ORE. REPRESENTING The Ladies' Home Journal The Saturday Evening Post The Country Gentleman aro entirely adequate to protect the public against exhorbltant rates, but are not adequate to Insure to the public sufficient facilities for its pres ent and future requirements. "i-ess than 1,000 miles of new rails has been constructed in the United States during the past year," he said. "Less than in any year since 1MK except the period pf the civil war and yet the cost of living is daily advanc ing, owing to a shortage of supplies, which might be remedied by Becurlnj; access to new areas of production.' As illustratiing the inequality of transportation facilities at a time when new road building has nearly stopped, .Mr. Thorn showed that while New Jersey has 31 miles of railroad per 100 square miles of territory, the average for the Frilled States is only IS. ."ill miles and in Idaho where there are only ;i.:l. iniirs per loo square miles, less than Zli per cent of the natural resources have railroad facili ties. To St mi Construction. ''Will the undeveloped states be ratislied to stop railroad construc tion under such a conditior of In equality".'" .Mr. Tiioui asUcd. "It is impossible for railroads to earn enough to supply the necessary new facilities from current revenue. They miibt be provide! with credit. In-vcj-tciiL cannot be coerced, hut must be nitracted." Cue committee, appointed by Presi dent Wilson to Investigate the actions of Uie act held Its first meeting here today a ml conferred with more than i dozen railroad executives for the announced purpose of discussing In formally the methods to be used in Mie meeting. The executives will hold a conference with the heads of the brotherhoods at a later date. CHARLES FIRST TITLE AUSTRIAN EMPEROR LONDON', Nov. L'a.
