 For forty-two years this conductor, composer, innovator, student, philosopher. artist. and father of modern music on the Western continent, has been creating and leading great orchestras. For sixty two years he has been before the pub lie as an interpreter of good music. In his sixth year he was giving rectals on the violin; in his sixty-ninth year the international world of music regards him as It's dean. In 1862. when he became conductor of the Brooklyn Philharmonic, America scarcely knew what an orchestra was; in 1904, Boston, New York, Phil

 A man came here the other day from Mexico City and tried to drink all the whisky in town. The same chap was here three years ago trying to do the same thing. Our wood alcohol seems to have no effect on him, which he account ed for in a simpie, comrnon-sense way. Men from high attitudes who are ad- dicted to liquor can drink vastly more when they descend 0 lower levels.

THE CHINA PHEASANT.
An Article by Gene NJ. Simpson the Char
acteristics of this Beautiful Bird.

In the last number of the
Lewis and Clark Journal appear
ed most interesting article on
the China pheasant. We regret
exceedingly that we are unable
to reproduce the article entire,
but we have not the space to
grant, SO must do the best we
can and the result is the follow
ing:
Twenty years ago the late
Judge Denny imported from
China eighteen China Ring-Ne. k
or Torquatus Pheasants and gave
them their liberty in the Will
lamette Valley, some fifteen
miles from Corvallis. Shortly
after, state laws we're enacted
protecting these birds and they
are today the game bird OF Ore

this section, are a thing of the

beyond belief. It is no uncom-
mon thing to ssee5the1n mingle
with the domestic fowls around
the barn yard. This is true,
however, more with the male
birds, who have been known to
mate with Leghorn or Bantam
hens, producing a hybrid that
neither crows, cackles, lays eggs,
or takes any apparent interest in
life whatever. When a China
male and the common dung-hill
cock of the Walk meet in
mortal combat, as they frequent
ly do on the country farms, the
latter invariably gets worsted.

Davenport, whose old home is at

The latter no doubt have been
driven back to ''tall timber" in
the foothills by the pugnacious

on the warpath against anything
that wears feathers.

to be devoured by the hungry
crow. The crow is one of their
worst enemies, and strangely
enough, they seldom modest the

are almost ready to hatch at

Manfred Sets, one of Alsea's
merchants, was in Corvallis last
week and is reported to have had.
quite a disastrous runaway while
on his return home, last Thurs
day. A Mrs. Hammersley, whose
home is in Alsea, was accompan-
ing Mr.. Sets.
While going down the west
slope of Alsea mountain, Mr..
Sets accidentally dropped onelof
the reins. The team started to
run, and becoming unmanage-
able, the entire outfit, man, wo-
man, horses, wagon and contents
went pell-mell over the grade.
Mrs. Hammersley was thrown be-
tween the animals, and that she
should have escaped serious in
jury is miraculous, but she did
Mr.. Sets, too, came out of the
fracas without serious damage,
although the horses were scratch
ed up a bit and the WAGON was
slightly damaged. 4 couple Of
young men, en- route to Corval-
lis, chanced along at the nighttime
to be of great assistance i'll right

state that there may yet be some

willamette valley for so long
time last summer, served the H.
legal hunters a double purpose.
It enabled them to come nearer
their game and at the same time
shield them from the farmers,
who are, for the most part, trying.
to protect the game.
As the pheasants feed princi-
pa1ly upon insects, the farmer
does not begrudge the little grain
they eat, most of which would
|otherwise be wasted. Some claim
that they will rid a garden of cut
worms without doing any materi-
|al damage.
It is safe estimate to say that
four-hfths of the farmers in this
part of the valley, where these
birds were first liberated, have at
some time attempted to rear and
ldornesticate them. Several in
stances have come to my notice
where geod-sized broods have
been hatched out and. allowed to
run around the barn yard with a
common hen for a mother, but as
soon as they were of any age they
would suddenly disappear to the
! fields. A recent article on pheasant
rearing IN an Eastern Journal
says they cannot be reared in cap
tivity unless fed on maggots.
This is a mistake. I find that
young pheasants do remarkably
well on .hard-boiled eggs chopped
fine, and fresh ground meat,
crumbled with corn meal. ]
keep them in tight covered,

FINDS SHE

FROM son
Error Gives Woman
Custody Of Her
Husband.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

OMAHA, May ITO her unspeak-
able surprise and chagrin Mrs Clara
Russell discovered to-day that the de-
cree of divorce which she was granted
in the District COUNT here several
months ago was from her infant son,
Henry Jenkens Russell. instead of
from her husband, George Henry Rus
sell. as she had supposed. According
to the decree, she was divorced from
the son and was given the custody of
the husband.
In filing out the decree the name
of the son was written where that Of
the husband should have appeared and
the name of the husband was written
where that of the son should have
appeared.
Mrs. Russell appeared to-day before
Judge Sutton, who granted the decree,
and she was informed that there was
no way by which he could rectify the
error, and that, in order to get a di-
vorce from her husband, it would be
necessary for her to file new suit.
