on finance for the present session was
held Thursday night. when the mem
bers met and cleared their docket. Be-
fore ad3ourning vote of thanks was
rendered to Chairman Fl. n. Pollard.
Jr. and to Clerk George s. Crenshaw.
When the finance committee Is nam
ed by the new Council. which con-
venes in September, there win be at
least two new members filling vacan-
cies caused by the failure of re- elec-
ton OF Aldermen Cottrell and Elicit.
1t will also be necessary for Council
man Morgan r. Mills to choose between
his membership on the finance and
water committees. and for Chairman
Pollard to choose between the com
nittees on finance and electricity.
Such a choice Is necessitAted by the
new Council rule which prohibits a
member OF the finance committee from
serving on any other committee.
II IL probable that both Messrs. Pol
lard and Mills wifi choose finance.
The former is certain of reelection
to the Craftsmanship.

IN The PSEASANT, UNCLE SAM
SEES AN ALLY TO THE HEN

While some statisticans believe
the time is rapidly coming when
this country will be unable to raise
enough meat to supply the demand
the department of agriculture is
endeavoring to awaken interest in
the raising of pheasants.
That pheasants can be raised
in majority of the
states in the union is the opinion
of Henry Oldys, assistant in the
biological survey, whose book on
the subject has just been issued.
The most determined and sue
cessful efforts to breed the birds
in this country began in Oregon
in 1880. the breed known as ring
neck pheasants being imported
from Shanghai. 1t is now one of
the successful industries of the
state. From Oregon birds have
been shipped to many other states.
Since then good results have
been had in Indiana, New York,
Massachusetts, and one or two 9TH
er states.
A pleasantly may be started

the latter to be Matched by barn
yard fowls. IL eggs are to be
tried they should be ordered in
January or February to be deliv-
cred in April or May, and should
be placed under the hen as soon
as possible. Any we'll drained
ground is suitable for pheasant
hen. Each pen should be cover
ed with chicken wire, should be
from six to eight feet high and
at least ten feet square. 4
Pheasants are small feeders, and
may be fed grains of all kinds,
finely chopped meat. boiled pota-
toes and boiled rice. Green food
is also important.
There is a good market for the
birds, which, whether wild or do
mesticated, are said to be superior
to the native grouse for edible pur-
poses.

"THE EAST MUST STOP SAPPING

NEW YORK. May 13.-When
John A. Johnson. late governor of
Minnesota. at the opening of the
Seattle exposition, declared. that
the west is not getting its share, ="
he spoke better than he knew.
While Jas. J. Hill, the western
railroad president, was declaring
to the accompaniment of the
laughter of the east that the coun-
try was depending too much on
western farms, he was stirring the
thoughts of some OF the greatest
railroad leaders of the country.
In the throng of men on the
trading floor of the New York
produce exchange, the center of
the food gambling game in the
country, were the presidents of
several of the greatest eastern
railroads.
c. Welding Ring, president of
the exchange, called a mass meet
ing on the floor of the exchange
that had as its theme the alarms
sounded by the west in the words
of Johnson and Hill. Ring gave a
word-painting of the deserted
farms of the east.
''The east is to blame for this"

west and permitted its own soil to
