to meet some fthc women who run
down to smaller cities to visit friends
and relatives who live in the prov

and an air OF showing the natives how
that would be irritating were it not
so sublimcly unconscious of itself.

PLAQUE Of Birds In ENGLAND.

The protection OF birds in England
has reached such stage that they
have become nuisance. and now 1t
is not unlikely that n systematic war
will be waged on them. The COM
plant Is not OF the game birds. which

are botherlng the farmers and gar

In Hertfordshire. Just north of Lon

In the orchards. The statement made
is that they absolutely denudo the
trees OF fruit.
Each apple or pear has only little
peck taken from it. tut 1t Is thrown
to the ground and rendered totally
unmarkctablc. The farmers and fruit
ralsers here talk OF organizing formal
hunts to thin out the flocks of birds.
Starl!ngs have also become extremely
numerous and arc badly in need OF
slaughter. the country people say.
The pigeons are the only birds con-
stantly shot all the year round in
England. and in spite OF this their
number never seems to diminish. In
one farm outside Of London the pro

The fire for the most part was connped

REJECT FILINGS OF

INTERIOR DEPARTMENT STANDS
BY OWENS AouEDUcT
Corporation Interests Hoped to Run
Line Through Haiwee Reser-
voir Site. Key to Big ArtI-
ficIaI Waterway

That the federal administration is
friendly to the Owens river project was
again demonstrated yesterday when word
came from Washington that the interior
department had overruled the protest
made against the Los Angeles enter
prises by the Silver Lake Power and r.
rigation company, Nevada corporation.
The department has gone SO far as to
reject, not only the protests, but the
right-of-way applications made by the
Silver Lake company.
Civil Engineer A. H. Koebig or Los An
geles. organized this company with 5000,
900 capital, getting. much of 1t from Berlin
and other foreign points. The aqueduct
authorities have all along regarded the
Koebig interests as unfriendly to the
aqueduct.
Filings were made on the Owens river
some distance north of Owens lake by
Koebig, and the line ran directly through
the center of the proposed Haiwee reser-
voir site-the key to the aqueduct.
The Koebig filings have been put out
of the way now on the ground that they
conflict with the needs of the big mu-
nicipal enterprise on which Los Angeles
will spend s2S.OOO.oOo in the next five years.
