N THAT section Of the state of
oregon known as the klamath
basin there is vast swamp, COW
ering approximately 100000 acres. In
this there are several large lakes con-
nected by channels of sufficient depth
to be navigable for small crafts. The
country is such that it is by nature an
ideal breeding ground for all kinds of
aquatic birds, and in looking about for
a place to rear their young the feath-
cred tribes did not overlook the boun-
teous provision made for them by
Mother Nature.
The great klamath basin is hemmed
in on all sides by high mountains, with
Mount Shasta, snow-capped the year
round, overlooking the entire territory.
The sky is clear throughout the entire
summer and it is but rarely that rain
falls during June, the month in which
most Of the young birds first see the
light of day. The swamp, in which
are located the breeding grounds, is
densely covered with tules, and in the
lakes there are numerous small islands
that have a luxuriant growth of the
same vegetation. Upon these islands.
are found some of the largest rook-
cries on the American continent, pro-
nounced so by eminent scientists who
have come from all parts Of the United
States to study bird life on the Kla-
math lakes and marshes. The many
millions of ducks and geese that rear
their young in this section are scat
tered throughout the entire marsh,
making their nests in the tules and in
the meadows bordering the swamps.
Nests can be found in large numbers.
though the ducks and geese do not
breed in rookeries as do the pel1cans,
the cormorants, the great blue heron
and the seagun.
In the early part of June mother
goose may be seen with her brood of
young swimming about in the shall
low water along the edge of the tules,
and in the boggy places in the marsh
ducklings of many varieties mlngle to-
Cether However, every flock is chap
eroned by the mother, which watches
over her young and gives warning
when danger approaches. No sooner
is the signal given when the little ones
take to the dense tules for shelter, and
once there they are safe from all harm
except from small animals, such as the
minks and weasleS that infest the
swamp.
Encroaching civilization already has
caused a noticeable decrease in the
number of game birds in the klamath
country. The chief danger, however,
that threatened their extirpation more
than anything else was the gathering
of eggs by the Indians, who went to
the marsh every spring and by wading
;bout in the tules gathered millions of
eggs, fresh and otherwise, which were
placed in a large pot to boiL When
the mess was thoroughly cooked the
feast began, and usually continued
through several days. This practice,
in recent years, has been discouraged
by the white man.

CUSHIONS ADD TO COSY
APPEARANCE OF ANY ROOM

Cushions add to the cozy appearance
of any room, and. provided the covers
be kept clean and bright, make a gay
touch of color I'm the decorative scheme
Though, OF course, one may pay almost
any amount for silk and brocade cush-
ion covers. one need not necessarily be
extravagant, as many inexpensive fab
RIGS look exceedingly well.
For winter wear, both plan and
printed velveteen, on account of its
excellent washing properties, may be
strongly recommended: while the best
quality sateen. linen, and liberty cot
ton fabrics are delightfully."- cool and
fresh-looking for summer and early
autumn use. Cretonne is rather too
stih TO employ successfully for this
purpose but there are many inexpeh-
sive tapestries in a mixture of silk and
wool which look perfectly lovely when
made up.
Extra pillows are always a valuable
possession, and, when not required for
bedroom use, might be encased in
fancy covers and utilized on the couch
in the sitting room, for one can never
have too many cushions.
