ex-Congressman Sibley, he stated
that Mr.. Sib1ey was one of hundred
people in the political and financial

was not a spear left for three or four
rods The corn that did manage to
get the start of the pheasants and
make a crop is their easy prey as
soon as in the roasting ear stage OF
maturity. They will alight on the
ears, strip down the husks and help
themselves in a manner most tanta-
lizing to the farmer, and they are
right onto the job as long as there is
an ear left in the field. Last fall many
fields of wheat were considerably in
jured by pheasants digging out the
seed. There are neighborhoods in On
tario County in which the damage
done by pheasants the past season is
more than twice the amount of all the
taxes for the year. A man
just from Oregon tells us that in
short time the pheasant became such
an unmitigated nuisance that he is
now hunted and killed to get rid of
him, and a bounty is paid for Destroy
ing him"
And The Oregon Agriculturist COM
ments as follows:
"The game warden, or some other
official in the State of Washington,
has been importing and turning loose
in that state pheasants which are said
to have great ability to take care of
themselves. The newspaper item
which gave this information added
that these pheasants would prove
great blessing to the farmers. 1t is
barely possible that this will prove
true, but it is much more probable
that the farmers will find them a de-
cided nuisance in the end"
This is strong indictment. 1t
places the pheasant in the same class
of undesirables as the voracious grain
eating English sparrow that has been
called 1.-THE street Arab among birds"
These were imported in the 70's in
large numbers, but soon became so
obnoxious that many thousands of dol
lars have been paid in a vain attempt
at their determination. 1t shows a
necessity for a careful study of these
birds as to their good or bad habits
as we'll as their game and ornamental
qualities

since when there has been an open
season varying from six weeks to two
months. More than 10000 have been
killed in one county in single sea-
son.
Prof. w. T. Shaw, of Washington
State College, has written book per-
tanning to this bird. Prof. Shaw says
that the Chinese pheasant has so we'll
succeeded in acclimatizing itself to the
Pacific Northwest that with observ-
ance of the law on the part of hunt
ers, in very few years it will be we'll
established in it's new home.
But there is another side to this
question. A writer in The Rural New
Yorker says of them. "And now just
a word to the farmer who possibly
may not have seen the pheasant, or
perhaps may have seen occasionally
one. They are coming by hundreds
in spite of YOU The actual
tiller of the soil who earns his daily
bread by the sweat of his brow can
not afford to be imposed upon by city
sportsmen. The pheasant
takes the bread and butter from the
farmer and his family. Only just
few years ago a small number of
pheasants were turned loose in On
tario County. They were much adj
mired as a beautiful bird. Soon their
numbers and appetites increased, so
that their natural wild food was not
sufficient for their wants. Today their
number is legion. They begin to
damage the farmer just as soon as he
puts grain of any kind into the ground
in the spring. They will dig up a
large amount of oats or barley, and
will continue digging until the grain
is six or eight inches high. They are
especially fond of peas. There is
scarcely anything in the garden they
will not dig up. They have dug out
hundreds of spears of corn a foot
high, and there were a number of
fields in my neighborhood where there

These beautiful birds are being in
troduced into many localities of this
state for game and ornamental pur
poses. The pure Chinese pheasant is
"a game bird, par excellence. 1t is a
question whether he has any superior
in this respect. 1t is folly to hunt
them without dog, and their ability
to conceal themselves, even in the
scantiest corver, is wonderful. Hav-
ing great vitality, they do not sue
cumb to slight gunshot wounds, and if

CHINESE PHEASANTS

Chinese pheasants are native of the

and America, but have nowhere sue

they were introduced in 1882 by Judge
Denny, United States Consul-General

The three weeks mission which was

close Sunday evening Rev E j..
Dougherty, who was in charge of the
and gave the papal benediction. The
mission was conducted by Fathers
Dougherty, Drumm and Rohlman of

nounced by Rev. A r. Coooman and
his people of st. Paul's the most sue
cessful of all the missions ever given
in the city. The first week was for
the women and the second week for
the men and the third for the non
Catholics. The attendance at every
one of the exercises taxed the full ca
pacity of the church from the opening
to the close. Every evening the aisles,
the sanctuary and the sacristies were
filled, the largest attendance of all be-
ing present at the closing service
The lectures to non-CatholicS were
given In spirit which bespoke deliber-
alton and fairness towards those who
hold theories of religion different from
those taught by the Catholic church
The question box brought forth many
inquiries regarding the doctrine and
discipline of the church. but Father
Dougherty gives it as the result of
several years experience in the work
that there was less of the sting OF
hatred or narrowness than might he
found in many other communities of
much smaller proportions.
During the mission an event which
