Yet in all that relates to equipment,
to the provision Of rolling stock to
handle its traffic, the foregoing figures
are proof that liberal policy has been
pursued. The additions to equipment

in value the handsome total of $685.
OPS.
III Expenditure for the future will be
on a still larger scale. The immense
orders placed by the Northern Pacific:
for equipment have been mentioned.
The cost of the locomotives and cars
that it has already contracted for for
1907 delivery amounts to $10,2S4,003.
These OUTLAWS show at least a deter
mined purpose to use resources freely
in order to extend facilities. They are
proportional both to revenue and to
the extraordinary demands made by
the times. If the builders Of cars and
locomotives could fill orders without
delay, there would be no lack of equip
ment today anywhere in the north,
west. BIZ h Il z5$555
In addition to these colossal expen-
ditures, the ordinary financial exigen-

one item, that which is most intimate

figures will speak for themselves.
It was not until less than three
years ago that the balance sheets of
these roads gave any warrant for a
liberal outlay. The lean years Of the
past had taught caution. The net
earnings of the Great Northern were
less in 1904 than in 1908; those of the
Northern Pacific but trifle more. 1t
is only since 1904 that revenue state
ments would warrant generous expen-
diture. But, in spite of this, the out
lay that has been made for track, for
improvements, for equipment, for
terminals has been immense. Take

about. She finally became so ac-
customed to our visits that we could
walk up, draw aside the protecting

Last summer out in the neighbor-
hood of Hazel Green church on my
daily trips / made the acquaintance
of another quail with a flock of
about a dozen chicks early in the
season before they were able to fly.
II came upon them suddenly by the
roadside the mother bird would
sound the danger call and hurry
backwards and forwards until she
had driven the last one to cover OF
the nearby bushes before seeking
safety herself In fact the maternal
instinct seems to be more strongly
developed in the quail than any other
OF the feathered tribes. This one
seemed to uttedly disregard danger
until her chicks were In a place OF
safety. One day drove rapidly onto
the Pudding river bridge. coming
suddenly upon my acquaintance with
her family taking a sun bath on the
flooring of the bridge. In moment
the alarm note was sounded, and the
mother was rushing frantically here
and there, first on one side of the
buggy. then on the other, brushing
the little ones OFF at the sides of the
bridge, whence they would drop
some ten TO Is feet into the brush
below.
The mothers distress was really
pitlful, but she scorned to leave the
scene OF danger until the last chick
had been hustled on. when she also
quickly disappeared. ! saw this fam
lily almost daily until the shooting
season opened In October. at which
time they had become nearly full
grown. The hunters must have dis
persed them the first day. for never

Among the many bird calls denot-

there is none more inspiring than
that of the oreortyx pictus, or noun
tain quail. This resonant and
woodsy note comes from one of the
most beautiful OF all the native game
birds Decorated with his martial
plume, in uniform of olive brown and
roufus. and his soldler-like bearing
in company formation, he is a de-
light TO all who are so fortunate as
to see him in his native woods. His
habitat extends from the Columbia
river to as far south as Cahon pass
in southern California.
The Columbia river is about his
northern limit, although a few have
been seen north OF that boundary.
In the southern portion of his range
he is found only in the higher por-
tions OF the Sierra Nevadas, not be-
ing found In the Coast range south
