UNCLE SAM CREATES
WILD BIRD REFUGE
About nine years ago Uncle Sam be
came actively interested .in the protec
tion of wild birds, inn -
brought about because of various spe
cies of game birds, as well as song and
insect-eating birds, were decreasing
rapidly, while insect pests were in
creasing in immense numbers. Uncle
Sam has recently estimated that the
annual loss to agricultural ai d horti
cultural interests in this country
amounts to JMUOO.OuO. ....
The National Association of Aucluton
societies, which was organized for the
protection of wild birds and animals,
began the campaign a number of ears
ago to get certain refuges or retreats
where no hunting or killirg of benefi
cial birds was allowed at any any sea
son of the yeRr. ,
The first national wild bird reserva
tion was set asiiie March 11, WM, by a
special proclamation oi mo ,,,r.-,w...... j
Mince that time 5" other reservations j
have been created solely lor me pro
tection of wild birds, these euiM ace
rocky islands, sat J neacnes, iaie-,
tnarsries and other places that are of
no agricultural value, reaching from
Florida to Alaska and over to the Ha
waiian Islands. Many of these are tue
incestral breeding places of birds,
some of widen are almost extermin
ated Ly plume hu ters.
"Ihe largest and best national wild
bird reservations are on the J acihe
eoust," said Wm. L. Finley, state
game warden for Orgon, who Iihs dur
ing the past year succeeded in getting
a large number of smaller game ref
uges in various parts of this state.
"One of our government reservations
includes a vast area of the treeless
tundra at the u.outh of the Yukon
river in Alaska. Anoincr incomes

a A Scherck. of Omaha, Neb., has
sent to the Glacier the folloing notes
on the health qualities of the apple.

fir G. K. Searles in the Minnesota
Horticultural Society :
"The apnle is excellent brain food,
because it has more pliuspnuric acid

vegetable known. It excites the action

From the llerl ile or General Histo

work in the schools in some of the

1IARRIMAN SYSTEM
HEAVY RAINFALL
Hood River people who happen to be
around the station now have noticed
the many new box, gondola and flat
cars that are moving westward over
the O.-W. W. & N. system. The Ilar
riman lines have just added to their
equipment several thousand new cars
of the latest and best equipped de
signs. They are also adding from time
to time to their rolling stock a number
of new superheated engines of the lat
est types.
Work is now progressing in the local
freight yards, where new rails are be-1
mg laid and new macadam roads being
built. The O-.W. K. & N. Co. is hav
ing built several new 70 foot steel ob
servation cars, and it is probable that
buffet observation curs will be placed
on the weHtbound passenger train that
runs from I'enilletou to Portland, pass
ing through Hood Uiver at 3 p. m.

Powers, of the Oregon Agricultural
College designates the month of De
cember, the rainiest month of the year,
as the "the best friend of the lighting
syndicates," and January, the coldest
month, as "the great disciple of the
fuel trust. The normal rainfal in
December is 6.92 inches and the mean
normal temperature for January is 39.4
degrees. .
During the past month there was a
total precipitation of 8.9 in., which
was 2.08 above normal, bringing the
excess ranitall for the autumn months
up to 2.71 in. The greatest amount
which fell in any one period of 24
hours was 1.55 in. on Nov. 12. There
were 18 rainv days. 22 cloudv. 4 partly
cluudy and 4 clear.
Ihe: mean temperature for the month
was 45.4, which wan three degrees be

was 53, and the mean minimum 38.
The rainiest day, Nov. 12, was also the
warmest, being CI. Hy the 2i)th the

BUTTERMILK SAID
TO BE BENEFICIAL
Hotel Men For Good Roads
"The hotel men are going to figure
prominently in the passage of good
roads bills at the next session of the
legislature," savs C. K. Marshall
who was present last week in Portland
at the meeting of the Hotelmen's As-
BociKiion. 1 no nolel people are eager
to secure some kind of legislation that
give some basis lor road work. They
are going to throw all of their influ
ence toward that bill that looks most
, ., , ""' , , feasible and will make an effort to
l. e y family has need of a good, re- carry it. Whatever bill may pass, in

When Hood River people begin to
grow their own gardens, raise chickens
and cows and make butter they will
become a healthy population if they
become addicted to the drinking of
buttermilk.
Huttermilk will prolong the human
life fur many years. That assertion
has been proved by several of the
leading physicians of the world-Pas
teur and Mitchnekoh" of Paris, savs the
Courier of San Francisco.
In the blood are little cells known ns
leucocytes. Those cells are the scaven
gers of the body, and in their concave
surfaces are able to grasp a germ or &
foreign body and force its el iminntion
from the human system. The leuco
cytes, figuratively speaking, are the
home defenders of the body.
unuer me mierosonne t ip hnmn
fenders can be seen flowing along in
the blood stream. Suddenly thev will
stop as though thev sensed some near
danger. Changing their shape to that
of a v, they will penetrate the blood
vesHel wall and pick up a stray germ,
probably a typhoid or one of the many
other varieties.
When a person wounds the skin and
the blood runs, the homo defenders
rush to the alllitted part and project
themselves into the surface of the
abrasion, preventing the entrance of
outside germ life. They give up their
lives to attain their object, and the
hard little rwlges felt on both sides of
a slight wound are the leucocyte so
tigntly impacted that their lifeless
bodies help form scar tissue.
As years pass that commendable ac
tion of sacrificing themselves so the
human body may live ceases and the
little friends of the body once known
as home defenders turn into a lawless
element, ravaging the body thev once
defended.
MetehnekolT and Pasteur found that
buttermilk contained an element which
prevented the leucocytes from ravag
ing the body. (Experiments proved
they would eat the butter milk in pref
erence to the human tissues.

On June 1, according to announce

It is thought probable I but the new

and leave Spokane on the westbound
trip at about the same hour. Hood
