Lambert Murphy, American tenor of high repute, will be at the Pine Tree theatre next Mon day evening. - ' . This entertainment is of a type not usually brought to a town of this size and the people who de sire to hear real artists are go ing to be at the Pine Tree in a body.

Duck and. geese may be fine for the sportsmen .but the grain growers of Tule lake who have not yet finished tbreshlng tnle year's crop are not pleased wltn these destructive birds. Hundreds of acres of grain are nightly destroyed by the flocks of docks and geese that come out of the marshes at the end of the drainage canals and old Lost river channel. In one night 120 acres of bar ley belonging to C. J. Haskins was so stripped of its grain that it was scarcely worth cutting and the wheat fields not yet cut are being riddled. The flight of ducks from the marsh land begins about a half hour before sunset and continues uninterrupted until dark. The return flight is made between daylight and a short while after sunrise. This gives the greedy birds all night to eat and ex plains, their very fat condition and exceTent flavor. Hunters are desired In the Tule lake section and that is one place where "No Hunting" signs are not found. .
