Friendly Birds.

Most Of the birds and mammals have
the fear Of man in their hearts. and
are difficult to approach, but others
show no great concern. The Alaskan
jays. for instance, are devoted camp
followers. 'They proved useful as
scavengers." says Mr.. Osgood, "and
cooked oatmeal seemed to attract
themseve more than raw meat. They
many times hoped about the campfire,
or perched on the tent poles and
ropes. Their harsh chattering was
not always pleasant, but was some.
what atoned for by their less fire..
quent soft whistle and their pert and
confident ways, so on the whole their
presence was welcomed"

roads Stand Pat and the Men
Firm In Their Demands.

OF interest IN the sWitchmen'S strike,
The scene has changed from the office
of the governor of Minnesota at St.
Paul to the national capital, where
representations will be made to Presi-
dent Taft and to the interstate com.
merce commission.
Following the failure of the peace
conference in Governor Eberhart's of.
fee and the calling off of negotia.
tons, H. B. Perham, president of the
railway department of the American
Federation of Labor, went to the Hotel
Foley in st. Paul, where he packed
his grip, preparatory to a hurried de.
parture for Washington. He left last
night.
His departure was forecasted by a
statement made to him at the last
conference in the office of Governor
Eberhart.
"Will you," he asked the governor,
Join with me in an appea! to the in
terstate commerce commission, you
acting as the executive of the people
of Minnecota whose industry is tied
up by this strike, and I acting as the
representative of organized labor, to
have that body look into conditions
here, and if they find that industry is
interfered with, to discover why the
railroads refuse to arbitrator"
Governor to Consider 1t.
II will take that matter under con.
sfderation," replied the governor.
In the afternoon Mr.. Perham ap.
peared at the Office of the governor
to repeat his question. The governor
had been unable to confer with the at
torney general who happened to be out
of the city, but after thinking the mat
ter over, had decided that he would
have no legal status in such an an.
peal.
The Erdman act is the provision
which Mr.. Perham apparently desires
to invoke. This is the federal arbi.
tration act which permits of many ap.
peals and which was not looked upon
with favor earlier in the strike. The
law fixes the method of appealing un.
der this act, and the governor takes
the position, that no matter how anxi
GUS he may be to end the strike, it
would not be proper for him to inter.
fere in the machinery of a law which
is fixed by the law itself.
Whether or not a general strike will
follow a possible failure of Mr.. Per.
ham to bring about results, remains to
be seen. In any case, nothing will be
done until next Friday, most of the
representatives of the federation leav.
ing for their respective homes.
Mr.. Perham stated frankly that the
object of his mission was to appeal to
the president and to the interstate
commerce commission.
Il want to discover" he said, iii
there is any reason why arbitration
should not be invoked. The attitude
of the railroads is arrogant in the ex.
treme."
IF your mission fails, what then?''
he was asked. Twill a general strike
result?"
"Well," was the significant reply,
chat is not at all unlikely"
The sudden shifting of the setting OF
the strike drama followed the break UP
in the negotiations between the rail.
roads and the strikers, under the aus.
pieces of the governor.

ORANGE DITCH IMPROVED.
Banks Raised and Waterway Opened From Date Canal to Railroad to Provide Irrigation for Street
 Trees.t

Through the activities of Street Commissioner D. D. Pellet, the Orange ditch has been repaired and put in good condition, the past week, so that water for irrigation can be carried across town without flooding resi- dence lots and public highways.
 Between Fifth and Seventh streets the banks of the ditch have been raised on foot. The entire ditch has been cleared of weed growth and silt, and a flow of 150 inches can now be maintained from the Date canal to the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks
 The townsite company has made a | contract for the planting of trees on the streets lying east of the railroad, and the irrigation from the Orange ditch will be necessary to keep these trees alive. Later a system will be installed to carry water from the ditch northward to irrigate trees in the thickly settled portions of the city.

Woman's Section of Ten Thousand Club is Addressed by Father Eunmelen, Who Plans a
 Valley Aviary.

The feature of Thursday nights meeting of the Women's Section of the Ten Thousand Club was an ad. dress by ReY. H. Eummelen on Birds.
 Father Eummelen gave the women details for his project for establish. ing an aviary in Imperial Valley which shall be the means of propagating the best varieties of singing birds for stocking the valley He urged that the Women's Section | undertake this enterprise, pledging his hearty cooperation, and made the point that such an attraction estab- lished here would be a valuable as set in the way of publicity, aside from the enjoyment to be obtained from it. and that 1t would prove a fine feature for the proposed city park.
 The club discussed the need of a club house and the indications are good for some tangible outcome It is probable that a California-style club house, 20x4O feet, will be erected on a leased lot.
