A New Game Bird.

Manager Edwin Stone, of the c.
& E., passed through Corvallis for
Newport, Friday. In cunversa-
ton with GAZETTE man he said
that an active movement: was on
foot to introduce the Grey, English
partridge in Oregon. This par
fridge is a magnificent game bird,
and would be valuable addition
to Oregon's stock of wild fowls.
Mr.. Stone is an ardent sportsman
and he is taking great interest in
the latest movement started by the
Portland Kennel Club. Citizens of
each county are asked to subscribe
to a fund to be. used for the purchase
of these birds, and the number of
birds liberated in each county will
be in proportion to the amount sub
scribed. Benton county has but
little time to consider the project
as the order must be in by August
10Th. These partridges are strictly
bird of the cultivated fields and
are of great assistance to the agri-
culturist in destroying myriads of
insect pests. They are rapid null
tipliers and should afford fine
sport after few seasons protec.

Another Bridge Falls.

c. A. Overlander came over
Thursday from his ranch on Big
Elk, Lincoln county. He was
accompanied by his brother,
Fred, who had been over there
for an outing of three weeks.
Charley came out for a wagon
load of provision, as the people
of that section are obliged to lay
in their winter stores before the
roads become impossible.
In speaking of affairs in Lin
coin county, Mr.. Overlander re-
marked ,on the recent bridge
catastrophe Eear Eddyville, in
which Mrs. Lucky was killed.
He reported that a day or two
after the collapse of the swell
tin bridge" the Rarnsdall bridge,
which spans the Big Elk a few
miles above Elk City, fell down.
A remarkable feature regarding
this bridge is the fact that a
couple of days before it fell down
George Hodges, who resides on
Big Elk, hauled load of more
than a ton over the structure.
That it should stand this, and
then collapse a couple of days
later when there is nothing on
it, is one of those unaccountable
things that transpire at intervals
and attract the attention of man.
kind.
From what is learned of the
general condition of the county
bridges OF Lincoln, it seems that
there has been great negligence
in some quarter. Otherwise,
there would not be so many re-
ported unsafe.

FUR VALUE.

FUR VALUE.
I Last, but not least, is the Bel
gian of exceptional value as
fur-producer. Their pelts ar.
used extensivelyin the old coun
try in the manufacture of fell
hats, rugs, robes and garments.
Many so-cal1ed seal skins are in
reality what is termed by dealers
"electric sealskin," or in other
words, Belgian hare pelts dyed
to a rich seal brown. A few
skins, we'll tanned, joined to-
gether and lined, will make a
rug or robe, we'll worth three
times as many dollars as there
are skins in it.
Perhaps the most convincing
argument is to point to what the
business has been and still is in
Southern California. Hundreds
of people are engaging in this in
dustry, and many in a small
way, but with few exceptions
all have made money.
1t costs no more to raise a
we'll bred Belgian hare than a
cheap one, and then in a re-
markably short time the original
stock may be paid for from the
increase. Either raise thorough
breds or none at all.
AS the industry is only in its
infancy competition tends to
build up trade. Few people re-
aiize the vastness of our country,
and, Notwithstanding the fecun-
dity of the hare, many years will
have elapsed before all of our
$4,000, 900 people have a sur
plus of stock. The first to en-
gage in this industry will be the
first to reap the reward.

Cat the Lock.

In our last issue we mentioned
that. in all probability "Tex''
Daniels would be more anxious
to break out of than into Jail be-
fore his fifty days confinement
expired. This was a good guess
and the correctness of it was
proven Friday. His meals are
served to him in his cage and
during oae of them he secreted a
table knife. Friday, with the
aid of this instrument he came
near efecting his escape. He
reached his hand through the
bars and, using the knife as a
saw or file, cut the lock in two
and gained the freedom of the
corridor. Had he not been dis
covered when he was, it would
likely have been only a matter
of short time when he would
have gained his liberty.
Saturday evening Chief Flett
found that Mr.. Daniels had removed
the lock from his cell again and was
just preparing to take his departure.
Sunday he destroyed three locks
and was in the main corridor when
discovered. At this writing he is
in his cell again.

the hen mentioned in the last issu
: of the Times was a "game hen.
! We know something of hens our.
selves and will relate what a Cor.
wallis hen can do.
Max Miller, son Of F. L. Miller,
the clothier, fell heir. to a little ban
tam hen by stroke of good for
tune. During the early part of
the summer she wanted to sit, and
Max, who is only about nine years
old, set her in basket. The quar-
tiers seemed to strike the little hens
fancy and she made herself at
home. Max Kept guard over her
and the attachment between the
boy and the hen reminded one of
the legend of "Mary's Little Lamb"
If Max went out to play, the chances
are that he picked up the basket
and took his sitting hen with him.
If he went to the neighbors to visit
the youngsters and have some fun
the hen and basket accompanied
him. Under all Of these various
trials Madam Bantam kept her
eggs warm and in due season
hatched a. basketful of chickens.
She is still alive and well and
hasn't yet gone where things gen.
orally go in hand basket. -s
On farm about mile south of
town a chicken was hatched some
thing like month ago. 1t had
neither feathers nor hair, and its
general appearance was that of a
bladder with head and legs. AS it
grew it got more and more puffed
up and an examination proved that
the outer skin was full of wind.
At intervals the owner takes the !
chicken and punctures its breast
with needle, presses the wind out |
of it, and turns it loose. It always |
seems relieved when the operation
is over. 1t is as spry as any chick
en- and perfectly healthy. If the
owners succeed in getting this !
variety established it will likely
prove God-send to the human
family, as it will do away with a
lot of picking.

THE FURRY HARE.
Benton's Pioneer Rabbitry Well Stocked
with These Little Animals.

, Benton's Pioneer Rabbitry Well Stoke
with These Little Animals.
The Belgian Hare industry, S
proftably conducted in Califor
MIA during the past two years, i
steadily gaining in popularity
in Oregon where climatic condi
tions are even more favorable fo,
their successful propagation, ane
the Willamette valley bids fail
to rival Southern California as
the center of the Belgian hare in.
dustry on the Pacific coast.
The furry little animals seem
to have been introduced into
America at a most opportune
time. While the demand for meat
is constantly increasing all over
the world the supply of meat
producing animals is less than it
has been for years. The vast
grazing lands of the West which
have hitherto supported thous-
ands of cattle are rapidly being
encroached upon by settlers. 1t
is therefore a paramount ques-
ton as to how the supply may
be kept equal to the demand.
The hare has certainly come in
our midst to stay and occupy an
important place, and we find it
hardly possible to estimate the
real value of an animal that will
produce such a superior quality
of meat at so small expense of
time and money. Upon this
solid economic basis must rest
the business of propagating them.
MEAT PRODUCING QUALITIES.
From the best authority OBJ
tainable it is estimated that one
doe, at the least calculation, will
produce from FIVE to six litters
year, the number of young in
each varying from six to twelve,
and frequently more.
We will presume the doe is
bred five times during the year,
and with the low average of
eight to a litter, gives us 40.
Now, supposing half of these are
does, which is generally the case,
your four does from the first
breeding will produce twice be-
fore the end of the year, make
Sd, and added to those Of the
mother doe we have 1o4. But
this is not all. The four does
from the second litter by the
mother will be old enough to
have kindled once before the
year closes. making 81 more to
be added to the Io4, which gives
a grand total of 13o from one
rabbit in a year.
But here is another way of !!
iguring it: We take the same
ow average of eight, and if the
loe is bred five times during the
year we have forty. At the end
IF eight months they should
EASILY average eight pounds each,
# they are the right stock, or
he 32o pounds for the 40. You
nay well wonder of there is any
other food producing animal on
earth that can so multiply its
own weight; and this is not all,
oy a good deal, of its probabili.
:ies-not possibilities.
Everybody eats. 1t is a habit
IS old as the human race, and no
substitute for eating has ever
oeen discovered among people
who care to live, and as an arti-
lie of food the Belgian has no
peer when dressed properly and
ready for the pan or oven. 1t is
more healthful, clean and pala-
able than any other meat pro-
luct, for the Belgian is strictly
1oncarniverous and fastidious in
lis feeding. The flesh is super

in becoming a breeder of Belgian
hares. Indeed, no we'll regulated

a rabbitry. There is no combi-
nation in the production of do.
mestic animals equal to that Of
chickens and hares. While the
fowls are earning nothing and
doing nothing but eating and
growing during the months OF
June, July, August, September
and October, the Belgians will
be propagating, as, in fact, they
will during the remaining seven
months of the year. There is
no month in the year when hares
cannot be successfully raised,
but there are a few months when
chickens cannot be Matched and
raised proflably. 1t is an easy
matter tor any person with a
