'Joseph Simon in the United

j. W. insle for Congress.

J. W. 1ngle, of Corvallis, was
named fof congress by the social
lists of the first congressional dis
trict at their convention held in
Salem, Friday. The plum did
not fall to Mr.. Ingle without a
struggle. Reports of the meet
ing state that the battle between
the friends of the various aspir-
ants for congressional honors was
as stubbornly fought as if the
nominee OF the convention was
certain of election.
F. P. Morgan, of this city,
was a member of the committee
that formulated the platform upon
which Mr.. Ingle will stand when
he asks his constituents for their
votes. It contains two preambles
and II selections. Campaign
headquarters will be at Salem.
1t is reported that the conven-
ton was composed of earnest,
well-meaning men, many Of

Prizes For Scheo1 Children.

Clarence H. Gilbert, president OF the
John Burroughs Society, of Portland, is
sending out circular lette. addressed TO
county school superintendent and prir-
cipals of the elementary schools Of the
state, calling attention to the two cash
prizes to be awarded by the society for
knowledge of the native birds of Oregon.
These prizes are given yearly to the
classes of the highest grade in the ele-
mentary schools of the state.
The first prize is $l2, the second $s, to
be awarded to those who can name the
most birds by sight and song, and who
write sufficiently excellent composition
on the subject. The relative markings
for the two examinations will be upon a
scale Of 100, 60 per cent for the field test
and 40 per cent for the composition test.
That is, actual knowledge of the birds
will count for more than excellence in
composition.
The competition is open to the class
graduating in February as we'll as to the
class graduating in June. The compo-
sitions must be in the hands of the cor
responding secretary of the John Bur-
roughs Society, 634 Williams Ave-, Port
land, Oregon, not later than June 1st :
Any subject based upon personal OBJ
servation of our native birds will be ac-
ceptable. One particular bird may be
selected for study; or some such subject
as the following may be chosen: CHESTS
of Oregon Birds" Feeding Habits of
Our Native Birds" )" bird Friends of the
Farmer" etc. In all observations time
and place should be carefully recorded.
The field examinations will be given
the last week in May and the first week
in June. All who send compositions
will be considered as applicants for a
field examination, and the address of
each writer should be enclosed with the
composition.

The Benefit of Change.


We are like house plants: We need a
change of soil now and then-to be re-
planted. New scenes, new experiences,
new surroundings change OF climatel
dry air instead of moisture, sunshine in
place OF cloud This is sometimes es-
seLtial to health There are conditions
near at hand that are better than Europe
can offer. Take month or two in Cali
fornia. Plant yourself for time where
there are no irritations, where the hotel
is beyond criticism, the landscape pleas
ing, and where warm sammy weather in-
vites to walks and drives. Pure and dry
air, and the increased electric influences
of sunshine are vastly helpful.
You can make this trip at very little
expense, and enjoy ride over the scenic
