FEATHERS OF BIRDS ON
WOMEN'S HATS TABOOED

New York-No longer will the beau
tiful aigrette find lodging place in the
eye of the wearied man in the sub
way car. No longer will the hat with
its towering feathers be an obstruc-
ton to the enthusiastic fan at the
ball game. No longer will the cross
husband have an excuse for remain
ing at the club every night for a week
on account of an extremely high milli-
merry bill caused by the purchase Of
rare feathers, says a dispatch from
Albany to the American.
Because
The legislature has decreed that
after July 1, 1911, the wearing OF the
feathers of a bird, except those of a
crow or other animal, made unpopu-
lar by his own misconduct, shall be
unlawful.
The official death knell will not be
sounded until Governor Hughes signs
the bill. but there seems to be quiv-
ering feeling among the milliners that
he will follow the lead of the legis-
lators, So certain are the members Of
the Audubon Society of America, that
the governor will sign the bill that
they intend to ask him for the pen he
uses.

RIVAL DESCHUTES.
ROADS COMBINE
HILL AND HARTMAN
LINES CEASE STRIFE
Two Companies Form Agreement
Whereby One Line Will Do Double
Duty Up Deschutes Canyon-Lines
Will Branch at Mouth of Canyon.

Portland, April 30.-Hill and Harri-
man interests will enter central Ore
gon over one line of rails through
the Deschutes canyon. The strife is
past. John F. Stevens, representing
Mr.. Hills interests, and Judge Lovett,
head of the Hartman lines, met in
Chicago recently and decided to alb
andon contention and construct one
line through the rugged gorge, to be
used jointly by the two roads
This is the word that comes to
Portland from the authoritative
source. 1t is backed up by the fact
that the Hartman construction fore
es along the Deschutes canyon are be-
ing reduced and work is not being
pushed as energetically as before by
the Hartman people.
According to the plans which are to
be worked out the Hill and Hartman
magnates have entered into an agree
ment by which one line is to do double
duty through the Deschutes canyon
This line is to be constructed and
maintained in part by both companies.
1t is said that the line is not to be
a Jointly owned line in the full sense
of the word. Part of the way trains
will run over Hartman rails, part of
the way over Hill steel. At the con-
tested points OF the long gorge, where
the right of way titles are still in the
courts undecided, the company which
has possession will finish it construc-
ton. join to the one joint line, and
thus through common consent har-
moniously complete the road through
the canyon.
Beyond the mouth of the canyon,
however, when the open country is
reached, the truce will end, and each
line will branch off along its own right
/ of way in whatever direction it has
| been decided to build the road.

FROGS DISTURB ORATORS.
Nocturnal Disorderly Conduct Baffles
Police of Vancouver.

Vancouver, Wash.-Speakers in the

But the police are powerless.

past few days water has seeped. As
if by magic myriads of frogs have
sprung into existence and their ram
corous melodies every night, Sunday
included, have caused heartburnings
among the singers and speakers in
the auditorium near by, who have
been interrupted.
A train of 1870 cars passing over the
trestle made the only noise here re-
Gently that could drown out the noise
of the frogs. The city council, which
has taken the matter into considera-
ton will have to take some action for
removing the nuisance

INDIANS ARE SORE
At LATEST RULING
OBJECT TO RESTRICTION ON
HANDLING OF MONEY
New Ruling Doles Rent Money Out to
Indian Because of His Spendthrift
Habits-Rcd Men Send Protest to
Washington.

The Indians on the Umatilla res
ervation are once more very much
dissatisfied with ruling of the Indian
department relative to the payment
of rent money. Councils are being
held, attorneys are being consulted
and an effort is to be made to get a
revokal or modification of the order.
few days ago an order was issued
directing Agent Swartzlander to pay
out the rent money at rate of not
more than $25 per week instead of all
at once as in the past. It will be re-
membered that all the money for rent
of Indian lands is paid to the agent
by the white renters and in turn is
disbursed by him among the Indians
to whom II is due. Some of the al
lottees are classed as incompetents or
drunkards and their money is doled
out to them, but the great majority
of the Indians have been given the
entire sums due them.
Many different plans have. been
tried to keep the Reds from spending
all their money as fast as they get It,
but all bave proved failures thus far
and the recent ruling is but another
experiment OF the department. When
It was found that they could not keep
their money when paid 10 them in
cash they were given their money in
checks, which could not be cashed
but which must be deposited in the
banks and drawn out as needed. The
willy red man soon found a way to get
around this difficulty. for the mer-
chants, for the most part. were more
than willing to accommodate their
Indian customers by giving them the
difference in change between the
amount OF their purchase and the
amount of a good sized check. The
dates OF payment being few and far
between. the result was that the In
dians lived on the starvation plan for
a great part of the year
The department hopes by limiting
the amount which they are to receive
to s25 per week that they will be
compelled to spend this all for ne
cesslties and not for useless finery or
the debauching "firewater."
A large number of the head men
among the three tribes on the reserva-
ton were in Pendleton yesterday and
dictated letter of protest which has
been mailed to the Indian depart
ment at Washington. 1t Is probable
also that the matter will be taken up
with the Oregon delegation in con-
gress.
