Il. II. and R. D. Woodward
were very much pleased to receive
pair of China Pheasants from
Gene M. Simpson of Corvallis Ore;
this week. The birds came in the
best of condition. They are quick
asa flash and as handsome a bird
as one could wish to see. The fe-
male is somewhat like the prairie
chicken only prettier. The male,
however, is perhaps equal to bird
of paradise. His shiny neck. beau
tifully spotted back, and extremely
long dressy tail make him rare
specimen of bird.-The Onlooker,
