Tho bird's-eye maple Is produced by casual or abnormal buds which have their origin under the bark of the trunk. The llrst buds of that kind may develop whim the tree is quite small. They are rarely able to force their way through the barfi and be come brunches, but they live many years Just under the burk, growing In length as the trunk Increases In size, but seldom nppcarlng on the outside of the bark. If one bud dies another will rise near it and continue the Irri tation which produces the fantastic growth known as the bird's eye. One of the favorite theories regard ing bird's-eye lias been that snpsuck ers, by pecking through the bark of young maples, make scars which pro duce this ilgure during the succeeding years. BIrd-pccked hickory often ha been cited ns an analogous case, but the effect In tho hickory Is opposite of tho bird's eye In maple. Tho wood Is discolored nnd unsightly. Some have attributed it to the action of frost, but no such connection exists, It Is sold. 8ALKM, Dec. 27.

I.Ike the wing of n dove across a red battlefield of horrid curses, the f,orm of Vlttorla Colonna, noble I to man lady, glides across the terrible horizon of Lucretin Borglu. The two, Lucretin and Vlttorla, had the same environment of civic and social life In Rome. Tho one drank lust and cor ruption; the other pure drops of heaven. It was tho era of Michael An gelo. The rising young genius in Rome was painting the portrait of Vlttorla Colonna. The portrait Is like a nun at vespers. Vlttorla Colonna was of the distinguished Roman family of great antiquity, tho "Colonnn." She wus a woman of brilliant parts, n poet and scholar. Married at nineteen to tho duke of Aratos, after his death on the battlefield In the Franco-Italian wars she remalued a widow the rest of her life. Her poems, "Rime Spir itual," have great charm. It, was dur ing her stay In Rome that she formed tho passionate attachment to Michael Angelo that Inspired many of the great, sculptor's sonnets nnd verses. She died nt the convent of Snn Sll vestro, her soul llko n silver dove winging nwny from tho turbulent six teenth century. Chlcngo Journal. SALEM, Dec. 27. Genernl John J. Pershing will not be nble to ex tend his visit In Oregon over tho brief stay already planned, because of tho number of cantonments to 1)3 irspected in tho limited time at his disposal, according to n telegram re ceived by Governor Olcott from the leader of the American expeditlon nry forces in Frnnce. r :1,ntr . t ASK any doughboy who was "over there' and he will tell you that American, railroads are the best in the world. He saw the foreign roads in England and France, the best in Europe and in. other Continental countries and he knows. i The part railroads have played in the development of the United States is beyond measure. American railroads have achieved high standards of public service by far-sighted and courageous investment of capital, and by the constant striving of managers and men for rewards for work well done. We have the best railroads in the world ,.' i we must continue to have the best, But they must grow. .V."'' A Tho railways of tho United States ara more than one third, nearly one half, of all the railways of the world. They carry a yearly traffic so much greater than that of any other country that there is really n basis for comparison. Indeed, the traffic of any two nations may be combined aad still it does net approach the camaerc af America borne upon American railways. i Unittd Statt$.S4natir Cummin; Truth Never Dull. You say: "Truth Is so dull." I beg your pardon. Truth Is the only thing that Is never dull, nnd the only means by which we enn escnpe from dullness. Why? Just consider. In all nrt, In nil science, In all literature, it Is the ob servation of delicate nuances that gives Interest, that delivers from con ventionality, that Insures progress. Tho conventional person says tho sky Is blue, and probably pnlnts It so. The truthful person sees that the sky Is gray, pink, yellow, inky-black, pale green, and, no doubt, blue nt certain times, but not always even then of tho same unbroken shade of bluo. He paints or describes It as ho sees it; ho Is nn artist. . . . Just so it is In our observntlon of diameter. How careless, how Inartistic, how unscien tific we nre in our duily o;", In the Judgments wo pass upon, In tho Ian guugo which wo employ In regard to, one another, and how great would be our Intellectual as well ns moral gain, how far moro attractive our conversa tion, If we tried to cure ourselves. Elisabeth Wordsworth. SALEM, Dec. 27. There nre a total of 968, 7G9 acres of land under irrigation in Oregon, according to n statement Just prepared by Percy A. Cupper, state engineer. Of this ir rigated area the water rights to 476, 479 acres have already been adjudi cated, whllo the rights to the the water used on the remaining 492, 280 acres nre still in the process of determination.

Waters from tho Klamath river are diverted for tho irrigation of 75,000 acres in Klnmath county and 70,000 acres In Baker and Union counties nro lrrlgnted from the waters of the To the $20,000,000,000 now invested in our railroads, there will have to be added in the next few years, to keep pace with the nation's business, billions more foe additional tracks, stations and terminals,, cars and engines, electric power houses and trains, automatic signals, safety devices,, the elimination of grade crossings and for reconstruction and engineering economies , that will reduce the cost of transportation. j To attract to the, railroads in the future ' the investment funds of many thrifty citi zens, the directing genius of the most capable builders and managers, and the skill and loyalty of the best workmen in. competition with other industries bidding for capital, managers and men the railroad industry must hold out fair rewards to 'capital, to managers and to the men. t American railroads will continue tq set world standards and adequately serve the Nation's needs if they continue to be b.uilt and operated on the American principle of rewards for work well done.

Dec. 27. In the face of nn unpracedented demand for lumber the shortage of cars has forced numerous mills in Western Oregon and Western Washington to close, according to the weekly re port of the West Coast Lumber men's association; and production, consequently, has greatly diminish ed. Not knowing when they will be able to make shipments, sales man agers are rejecting what otherwise would bo attractive business, It Is stated. With moro business in sight than ever beforo offered in the history of tho Industijy, mills wajre prepared to operate at n maximum capacity through the winter and had nrranged to reduce their usual holiday vnca tion periods to shortest possible duration.
