FLESH EATING BIRDS.
rhey Find Their Frey by sight, Not
by Sense of smell.

A study OF the habits Of flesh eating
birds shows that IL they possess the
sense OF smell at all 1t Is not sufil-
ciently acute to enable them to use 1t
In finding food.
All observers are agreed that when
a carcass is hidden by never so slight
screen II is safe from the attacks of
vultures and other carrion seekers,
but the most remarkable proof Of the
inctfectlveuess Of the sense or II exist
at alb is afforded by experiences which
DIR. Guillemard was good enough to rS-
late to me. Many times It has hap
pened, he tells me, that, having shot
wild beast or other game, which was
too heavy to carry home, he has dis
emboweled 1t and hidden the carcass In
the hole of an "ant bear"
On returning with natives TO carry 1t
to camp he has found n circle of vul-
lures standing round the spot where
the offal had been thrown, completely
unaware OF the carcass within few
yards Of their beaks. OF observations
proving the possession of the sense l
know none unless we are willing to
accept as evidence the belief which is
very general among fanclers that birds
are attached to the smell Of anlse and
the similar belief Of gamekeepers in
some parts OF the country that they
are attracted by valerian. 1t IS said
that pigeons may be prevented from
deserting the dovecot by smearing
their boxes with oil of anise. Poach-
ers are supposed to lure hen pheasants
from Il wood by amounting gateposts
with tincture OF valerian.-Nature.

RIVERS At LOW EBB
PROSSER DAM WILL BE RAISED
TO CATCH MORE WATER.
Yakima River Is now Running but
200 Second Feet, the Smallest
Amount In Its Hlstory-Compli-
cations are Arising on Yakima
Streams Which II Requires Court
DEGREES to Settle.

The Prosser Falls Land and Power
Company started yesterday to build
an addition to their dam across the
Yakima river at Prosser, which 1t is
expected will prevent a recurrence
of the present low water next year,
The stream at that place is now flow
ing but zoo second feet, the smallest
in its history, and II the dam had not
been put in last year. Prosser would
probably now be without water works,
irrigation or electric lights.
There is hardly power enough to
run the lighting plant. the crops are
suffering for water, and the flour
ing mill has been compelled to shut
down. The shortage is all caused,
says President Benson of tn ,u,n-
pany, by the canals on the reserva-
tion and others above Prosser TAX
ing water that belongs to them, hence
the big suit filed against these COM
panies last week to adjust the rights
in the river.
To relieve the situation at Prosser
and points below here. Mr.. Benson
got permission from the Union Gap
Irrigation Company at North Yaki-
ma Saturday to remove tneir dam in
Lake Gle Elum, and left for there
Saturday night to release the water.
This is the dam which, 1t is alleged.
the Washington Irrigation Company
attempted to blow out with dynamite
last week. and for which seven men
are to be tried at Ellensburg next
Wednesday.
The superstructure on the dam at
this point will be three and half
feet high, three feet of concrete and
six inches of lumber. 1t is expected
to raise the water to such a height
that the shortage will be entirely re-
lieved.
The farmers under the irrigation
ditch threatened laSt week to apply
for an injunction to prevent the COM
pany from furnishing the city with
water. but Mr.. Benson soon convinced
them that he was not responsible for
present conditions and that he is do
ing everything possible to relieve the
situation. They then decided to
abandon their action, and will stand
by him in his suit against the COM
panies above here.

HYOMEI KILLS CATARRHAL
GERMS.
Its Healing Air Reaches Every Tissue
of Nose, Throat and Lungs.

All the stomach dosing in the world
cannot do any actual good in the
treatment of catarrhal troubles, un-
less the nose and throat are complete
iy freed from catarrhal germs, and the
poison that they produce.
Hyomei is natures true cure for ca
tarrh. 1t destroys all germs in the
air passages and lungs, soothes and
heals the irritated mucous membrane,
and effectually drives from the system
all traces Of the poison. When using
the Hyomei treatment, the air you
breathe is like that on the mountains,
high above sea level, where the pine
woods fill the air with purifying and
healing qualities that give health and
strength to those suffering from dis
eases of the respiratory organs.
Breathed through the neat pocket in
haler that comes with every outfit,
the healing air of Hyomei reaches
every tissue Of the nose, throat and
lungs, and immediate relief is given,
and a permanent cure is soon made.
Tallman & Co. have so much faith
in the remarkable curative powers of
Hyomei in the treatment OF catarrhal
troubles. that they sell it under their
positive guarantee to refund the
money II the purchaser can say It has
not benefited. The complete outfit
costs s1.00, extra bottles so cents.

"In hop growing countries the pick

that hops bring on make fast picking
impossible.
II have been told that there are

myself seen tramps drink alcohol out

such presents occurs In the plays Of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

TICKLE The TROUT.

l once spent my vacation in the lit
tie village Of Schoenwald, in the Black
forest One day the son Of the pro
prietor Of the inn at which l was stay
ing said that he was going out to
catch some trout and asked me II /
would accompany him. He was In his
bare feet, his trousers rolled up, and
he had a small, very much elongated
keg slung by strap over his shoul-
der instead of creel.
The keg had square opening on
the top side, and he said that he
would show me how TO catch trout
without tackle We went down to a
small brook running through a meadow
near the house. He partly filled the
keg with water, then, wading few
yards up stream, stopped down and
carefully felt under the long grass
which hung over the bank. After
awhile he lifted nice brook trout out
Of the water and put 1t into the keg
and then wading little farther repeat
ed the operation and took in all some
twenty trout ont Of the brook
He told me that he caught the fish
by feeling carefully around under the
grass at the edge of the bank, and
when he felt one he tickled and strok-
ed it until by quick movement he
could insert his thumb and forefnger
into the fsh's gills and then lift it
out Of the water. I went with him
and saw him catch fish in this way
several times.-New York Times.

VICIOUS LIEU LAW
SENATOR TELLER SAYS
TT HAS BEEN ABUSED.
Special Land Intended for the Relief
Of Settlers Taken Advantage OF by
Corporations - Colorado senator
Thinks Oregonians got Advance
Tips as to the Opening OF Forest
Reserves.

That the lieu land selection bill
passed by congress six or eight years
ago to aid settlers, has been so con-
structed as to afford big grab for
railroad corporations is the opinion of
United States Senator H. NJ. Heller OF
Colorado. who was in Lewiston yes
terday.
Senator Teller with his family. re-
turned from Lake Waha, where they
have been taking an outing, and left
later for their home in Colorado.
In an interview at Lewiston Sena-
tor Teller emphatically declared him
self opposed to the present system of
lieu land selections which is so en-
riching the railroads. He declared
himself opposed TO a policy of Great
ing forest reserves without limlta-
tion. believing that many reserves
that are useless are being created
and declared that along these lines
Senator Hepburn would have his sup
port in his fight this fall before the
senate.
Senator Teller is also opposed to
the much talked of extra session of
congress. believing that as 1t is only
a month longer to wait until the reg
ular session convenes it would be
useless to call an extra session. He.
however stated that he had received
a letter from the east to the effect
that President Roosevelt had about
decided not to call the extra ses-
sion.
Meant for Settlers Only.
I'm the creating of forest re-
serves" said the senator. I'VE found
instances where settlers who had
taken lands before the reserves had
been created were isolated No more
settlers could come in and there were
not enough settlers in the vicinity to
build schools or roads.
"As a protection to such settlers a
bill passed congress that settler
who had taken land within a reserve
could relinquish when the reserve was
created and could take land else
where. 1t was never intended that
this bill should apply to railroads and
other corporations but 1t has since
been construed that way and has re-
suited in a big grab for the railroads.
THAT has been the trouble In Ore
gon and. other places. 1 believe these
people got advance information that
a reserve would be created and took
up land within the area. costing them
perhaps S2.50 an acre. When the re-
serve was created they relinquished
this and were allowed to take land
elsewhere worth perhaps $40 an acre.
II they did not wish the land them
selves they could sell their script for
a big profit.
THAT is where all your valuable
white pine in Idaho is going. 1t is
about the only white pine belt left in
the world. The bill that was intend
ed solely as a protection to the settler
has resulted in a grab for the rail-
roads and other corporations"
