IMPORTING SONG BIRDS.
Portland Bird Lovers VIII Liberate
Hundreds of Songsters.

Hundreds of the most noted varie-
ties of European songbirds will be
liberated in Portland within the
next six months by the oregon Song
bird association. They include Eng
lish skylarks. song thrushes, gold
finches, chaffinches and blackcap
nightingales. Shipments from Europe
have already been made, and the
birds will arrive within a few weeks.
At the meeting of the City Park
Board this morning C. F, Pfluger of
the Oregon Songbird society, gave a
full review of the work of the or
ganization, and asked the co-opera-
ton Of the board in the efforts of the
society to encourage the propagation
of various foreign songsters in this
state. He said that various song
bird societies had been organized
throughout the state, and that funds
had been secured for the importation
of 65 pairs of English skylarks, to be
liberated in various parts of Ore
gon. In addition to this, he said the
local bOCltly ldu OlbClNu 80 ouNA
tional pairs of skylarks, 25 pairs Of
song thrushes, 20 pairs of gold
| finches, 20 pairs of chaffinches and
10 pairs Of blackcap nightingales.
One-half of these birds will be lib
Grated in Portland as soon as they
arrive and the other half will be
retained until March in the aviaries
in the city park, when they, also,
will be set free in the park, where
it is believed they will mate and nest.
The skylarks which wre liberated
in this city last spring are said to be
doing nicely, Mr.. Pfluger said that
he had received reports that they
had nested and that quite recently
their songs could be heard.
The Park board offered him all the
assistance in its power in the work.
as the members believed it an ex-
cellent proposition to support.

During the present money strln-
gency "reminiscences OF the panic OF
the early nineties in this county are
now being rehearsed by the pioneers
who passed through that time.
At that time principally all of the
mortgages held in the county were
held by eastern concerns which de-
manded their money. interest and
principal, as soon as the money strln-
gency began to pinch the east.
The result was that many fine
farms in this county were sacrificed
to meet the demands of eastern
money lenders; men in comparatively
good circumstances a year before
were actually bankrupt and were
stripped of everything in the way
of property; others tried to sell in
order to be able to meet their debts
and being unable to do so were fore
ed against their will, to hold wheat
land which today is worth from $50
to SIS per acre, and which has since
made those who tried to give 1t away,
independently rich.
Numerous instances Of men who
tried to sell at an enormous sacrifice
then, but who NOW own from 10 to
20 quarter sections and have large
bank accounts. are now to be heard
among the pioneers.
In 1898 a dead line" was drawn
about four miles west of Pendleton
and banks would not lend a cent Of
money on any kind of land west of
that dead line" 1t was considered
very poor wheat land and not worth
the risk of a loan and so those who
owned land in that section had no
security to offer for a loan.
Now the same land is yielding from
90 to 80 bushels of wheat per acre
and is worth all the way from $40 to
$50 per acre. Many of the farmers
who could not borrow a cent on their
claims In that section IA years ago
are now independently rich and own
immense tracts of fine productive
wheat land.

Strawberries from which he has sold

From this patch last spring he ship

Oklahoma.Kansas League Disorsa nized

The Kansas Oklahoma base bal
league decided at meeting Of the vari-
Gus clubs last week, to disorganize,
Wellington and Harper both withdrew
from the league few weeks ago and
left the league consisting Of only foul
teams. AS the vacancies could not be
supplied. the league was disorganized fo1
the season.
The official statement issued by Presi-
dent w. l. Owen and Secretary Lynn
G. White shows Sharon and Alva are
lied for first place, each having played
IS games, winning 10 and losing 5.
kiowa is next with II games played,
winning eight and losing SIX. Danville is
at the foot, winning only four out of If
teen.
Wellington took the place Of Chero-
kee when that team withdrew and really
never had fair start. Harper at one
time was in the running but lost ground
and was near the bottom when she
dropped.
Sharon, during the season, played only
two bad games-one in this city and one
at Sharon. The Sharon boys are really
the best bunch in the league. They are
not only good ball players but they are a
dandy set Of fellows in whom the little
city should feel great pride.

teams when the league was disorganized
as certified to by the president and sec.

CORONER FIXES BLAME.
Holds That Girls Death Was Result of
 Criminal Operation,

A finding has been filed in the su- perior court by Coroner Mix on the death of Miss Lillian M B. Morin of East Hampton, Mass, who died at the New Haven hospital June 16 The cor oner's finding says:
 Three years ago Lillian M B. Morin became acquainted with young man named Ernest Russell. Six months ago they visited several physicians in Springfield and East Hampton to see if they would perform an operation.
 Among them was one Dr. Sparks of East Hampton, and while 1t is said he refused to perform the operation, he assisted deceased in obtaining money from bank, and gave her the address of a place in Boston, where he said such an operation could be performed. He accompanied the address with a let ter to the parties at 532 Fremont street, Boston. Deceased went to Boston, where an operation was performed
 She died at the hospital June 16 from general peritonitis, which apparently resulted from an infection following the operation.
 I find that Lillian M B. Morins death was due to general peritonitis. which was the result of the criminal act of some persons, which criminal act was done at Boston; and I also find that Dr. Sparks and Ernest Russell aid ed and abetted in the performance of said act.
