INDIVIDUALITY or BIRDS.
Varying Traits Constantly Seen and
 Expressed in Strong Relief.

In studying the different birds of the same species individual traits are con stantly seen and expressed in strong relief. The greatest differences seem tCt lie in the relative Gcve .opment Of thlr sense Of fear. In one wren family the male never fed the young and the female ncevr became very tame What a different state of affairs was found at another wrcn's nest studied earlier in the summer, After the removal of this nest it was fully iorty-five min utes before the young got a morsel to eat; but after the first visit the victory was won. and the hen. if not the cock bird became very tame. Dur ing the preliminary intervals of sus-

Five minutes after her tmdity had been finally overcome the male was also on the stump. where he sat with dropping wings and gave his alarm: thence he flew to a tree, then to the ridGepole of the tent. where he sang nlrrily. while the young were led by his mate. The male sang all the morn ing until noon, and, after a silence. be- gan again at ? o'clock.

SHEEP SELL IN CALIFORNIA.
Oregon Animals i'm Good Demand
in the south.

Pendleton, Dec. al. E. Thomas
and H. Halle, two heavy sheepholters
of Stockton, Cal, will ship from Pendle-
ton 10 900 sheep, which they have just
purchased from some of the ranchers OF
this district. Seven thousand of the
sheep were purchased near Pend eton
and 5000 we're purchased from ranch ers
living near Walla Walla, Wash.
As to the southern sheep market. M.
Thomas said this morning: "The Ore
pon sheep find a ady sale on the Calf
ornia market, and in some cases are
preferred to the sheep of our state. 1t
does not do, however, to ship the sheep
direct to the market, for there is consid-
cradle shrirkage in their weight, caused
by the hard trip. They will CON mand
a much better price if they are fed on
hard feed tor a week or TWO after they
are landed. Nearly all the sheep OF
California are fed in the yards before
sold. In tact, they can hardly be sold
right from the pasture.
"The sheep market in California If
better this year than 1t was last. We
are paying the Oregon owners about
80. 80 per head. In about three weeks
we will return for another large conslgn'
ment.
"The cattle market is bad compared
with last TALL. The prices are much
lower. The depression OF the eastern
market is the cause. Cattle which so'd
there last fall at $50 per head will not
bring $50 per head this season, or de-
cline of $l5. Many of the cattemen are
not selling this season but will winter
their holdings"

plans and specifications are IN various

Criticism has arisen in some quarters
bacanse the law is not sufficiently elastic

throughout certain states. What ap-
peays to be the Glow progress OF the
