most Of the men who engaged IN the WORK vi pre-,

It takes only a casual glance at a woman's hat
today to show that the fashion of wearing feath'
ers is still if not supreme, at least a ruler to a
considerable degree. 1t should be known, how
ever. that not once in a hundred times do you see
on a woman's head today the plumage OF a nauVe
American bird. The traffic in the feathers OF
bluebirds, robins, catbirds and other dooryard
pets has been almost entirely stopped. even
those who wish that the plumage-wearing habit
should cease altogether are powerless to prevent
the sale of the feathers Of certain species or Tor
eign birds. The aigrette of which woman Is SO
fond is a part of the plumage Of the snowy heron,
a bird which lives not only in the United States
but in certain foreign countries. If a bird Is to
be found in America and also abroad the sale Of
its plumage is generally forbidden in the United
States, but there is, and always has been, some
difficulty in proving from whence came the sup.
ply. Law, generally speaking, has it's technicality

ton service has decided to raise the
levee Of Lake Kachess 35 feet to pro-
vide sufficient water for a high line
ditch. Thirty-fve feet in figures is
one thing; thirty-five feet measured
up the steep banks OF Lake Kachess
ia quite another.
There is already a big dam at the
end OF the lake, through which the
water has been locked into the river
as needed. Since the high walls fall
away here which elsewhere encircle
the lake, the new dam must be a gi-
gantic piece OF engineering. rising 60
feet and running several hundred. Be-
fore construction can be done 1t will
be necessary to drain the lake, and
a crew Of men Is now at work on this
drainage canal, which is to come in
a little above the present outlet.
Lake Kachess on the crest of the
Cascade mountains, Is one of the
sources of the Yakima river. Like
Lake Keechelus, a few miles away, it
Is natural storage basin with rock
sides running sheer into the water.
Unlike Lake Keecheus. II has no
great watershed. The former receives
each year from streams and snow six
times as much water as is needed to
keep 1t full. While there are numer-
Gus mountain brooks tumbling into
Kachess and several fair sized streams
there is little surplus. The plan,
therefore, is to fill up Kachess with
the surplus from Keechelus. This will
require n so foot dam at the foot of
the lake, toward which the reclama-
ton service has already taken pre-
paratory steps.
Lake Kachess, which will be wiped
out with the high water, is an old
Hudson's Bay company post, estab-
lished upon the left bank of the Mar
rows, and of which only few fallen
logs and the stumps of trees mark the
spot. The ruins of the two log huts
show the location of the old fireplaces,
and the buildings were evidently used
until decay, by the trappers of a later
date, who are still numerous in the
hills about Kachess.

| ing off the preliminary tie in Aus
tralia, but as soon as the Australians
were given the names OF the team
they promptly withdrew their offer
The English team consisted of Cap
tain Dixon, Arthur Lowe, son of Sir
Francis Lowe of Birmingham, and II.
NJ. Mavogordoto, who is of Greek or
igin. The Australians declared that
these players are not of the first class
and are not representatives of Eng
land.
Considerable indignation has been
aroused here by the apathy of the bes,
players, several of whom have re-
fused point blank to contest the Davis
Cup. When Beals Wright was play
ing over here at Wimbledon, he cor
daily invited the English players to
visit America and play the prelimi-
nary tie over there, but the question
OF expense at once arose. America
must play England before meeting
Australia, and, when the American
players were invited to play off the
tie in this country they very naturally
also put forward the question Of ex-
pense.
The British Lawn Tennis association
has, therefore, been driven to open
negotiations once more with America.
and 1t is quite possible that the Eng
lish team will go to Newport and play
the preliminary tie there.
