The following is generally becoming
recognized among careful students of
these problems as practical sunni mary
of the case. Foreign birds suddenly
transported to strange surroundings
are fairly dazed, and do not properly
know where to find food or how to
avoid danger, especially if released
when weak from the effects of the long
voyage. If they are first fed up and
put in good condition, then placed in
preserves where food and shelter are
supplied, vermin killed off, and where
for some years they are not hunted,
they are likely to increase as long as
under this protection. 1t is more than
doubtful, though if they can stand
cunning by The general public without
being eXterminaled.
Seeing that there is to be one further
effort this spring by our State Com
missioners OF Game 10 clineh the eX-
pertinent with the Hungarian part
ridge, the least we can do is to help
the Commission i'll every possible way
by feeding and protecting the birds, if
any are released in our vicinity, and
advocate the Commission bill, which
should not fail TO pass, which protects
the gray partridge in this State for five
years.
Meanwhile there is an insistent and
growing demand for propagation ex-
periments with our native species, es-
pecially of our own quail or bob-white.
This problem, with this species, is APP
parently on the verge of satisfactory
solution, the main thing now being TO
systematic the thing for the general
public. The numbers of people already
dabbling in quail raising is astonish-
ing and that nearly all over the United
States. One day last week an eastern
dealer shipped thirty odd dozen quail
to one State in the middle west. The

so much new information relative to
this problem has been coming in Of

wood pulp was affected SO far as the
Dominion government could do it, but
the consent of the provincial govern
ments must be obtained.
President Taft, in his message trans
hitting the agreement to Congress,
said that in addition TO the trade bene-
fits, it would greatly strengthen the
friendly relations existing between the
United States and Canada.
The agreement divides the articles
on which the duty is to be removed or
reduced into four classes, under as
many schedules. They are % arti-
Giles which are placed on the reciprocal
free list; (2) articles on which there is
to be mutual reduction of duty; 81
articles TO be admitted into the United
States from Canada at special rates of
duty, and a. articles to be admitted
into Canada from the United States al
special rates o. duty.
-Four general classes of products are
affected by the agreement.
FirSt-Leading food and agricultural
products, rough lumber, some raw ma
terials and printing paper
Second secondary food products,
such as fresh and canned meats, tiours
and partly manufactured food prepar-
atoms, upon which rates are reduced
and made identical.
Thtrd-M commodities,
such as motor vehicles, cutlery, sani-
| taTy fixtures and miscelIaneous arti.
Giles, on which rates are mutually re-
| duced.
Fourth-A small list of articles on
which special lates are given by each
country. Canada reduces the duty on
coal and cement and the United States
reduces the duty on iron ore and alu-
minum products.
Identity of interest of two peoples
linked together by race, language, pol.
itical institutions and geographical
proximity" the President gives as the
chief reasons for such reciprocity as he
recommends. He says that he feels it
is 1.-THE wish of the American people,
that this country enter into "more
intimate and cordial relationship with
Canada
Liberality of view in dealing with
the proposed treaty is recommended.
1--WE have reached a stage in our own
development that calls for statesman
like and broad view of our future eco.
nomic status and its requirements"
he says. "While equivalence should
be sought in an arrangement of this
character, an exact balance of financial
gain is neither Imperative nor attain
able"

The Problem of the Game Birds.

More than century ago, when game
was abundant, futile attempts were
made to introduce foreign game BIRDS
as novelties into America. But not
till 80 years ago, when the growing
scarcity of game begin to be recogniz,
ed, was there any determined effort to
re-stoek depleged covers. Curiously,
one of the earlief of these recent at.
tempts Was the most successful of any,
up to date La lSs0-l a few ring neck
Ell pheaSants, imported from China,
were released in Oregon in the Villa
mette Valley, and multiplied over all
that region. When in 1892, the first
open season was declared, it is esti-
mated that $4,000 pheasants were shot
on the opening day.
This naturally raised great furore
for pheasants, and in no less than six
teen States has the liberation or propa-
CATION of various kinds of pheasants
been tried, mostly with final discourage
ing results, though at first some of
these attempts seemed to be succeed
ing. Only in very few locaities,-
parts of Oregon, Washington, British
Columbia, and the Genessee Valley,
New York, has there been any marked
success. Some of the State Game
Commissions, such as those of Massa-
chusetts and Ohio, have given up fur
ther attempts and come out strongly
in favor of pfopagating native
game birds instead. While the
methods have now been aseertained of
rearing pheasants by thousands in cap
uvity, these birds in the wild state
usually disappear when general hunt
ing is allowed.
Discouraged over the showing of the
pheasants, popular sentiment was
turned To the so-called "Hungarian
partridge. This title is misnomer,
the right one being the gray partridge.
Tins species is familiar game bird of
most of Europe and occurs east 10 een-
traI Asia. The popular nickname
arose because most OF our tmpertationS
were from the mountains of Hungary
aud Bohemia, where the birds are
harder than those of the same species

bird, and was a wise selection in the
honest effort to lind an adaptable for
eign species 10 supplement our own.
+ Al least nine states have embarked
upon this experiment, some Of them
ON a large scale, especially from 1905.
I In that year about l. 600 Of these birds
were imported into this country, and
the next year over 27,O00. Thus far
4 about Sl5o,o00 has been spent for gray
pattridges, and for all foreign game
I species about half million dollars.
While IL is too early 10 make final
Judgment as 10 the possible results of
recent and present attempts, the gen
eral verdict from disintereSted seien-
/ fists is that success in acclimating for

/ strange conditions is most dubious,
with the odds all against it, and that
far greater results proporIionately
would be secured by similar efforts 10

Pine Bluff.-A report from this county and others adjoining on the south state that crops are in fine condition, and the outlook was never brighter. The recent rains saved the corn crop. It was suffering during the drouth, but with favorable weather conditions the yield will be a plentiful one. As a rule the cotton crop shows up better than corn. In Desha county the cotton crop is ex- eeptionally we'll worked, and a big yield is promised. The farmers state that they have had enough rain for the present, and if the sun shines for couple of weeks the crop will be made.

But one morning the colonel unexpectedly encountered him at the post office.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

When my first baby was six months old he broke out on his head with little bumps. They would dry up and leave a scale Then it would break out again and it spread all over his head. All the hair came out and his head was scaly all over Then his lace broke out all over in red bumps and 1t kept spreading until it was on his hands and arms. 1 bought several boxes of ointment, gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors to treat him, but he got worse all the time. He had it about six months when a friend told me about Cutieura. I sent and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. In three days after using them he began to improve He began to take long maps and to stop scratching his head. After taking two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Soap he was sound and well, and never had any breaking out of any kind. His hair came out in little curls all over his head. l don't think anything else would have cured him except Cuticura.
 T have bought Cuticura Ointment and Soap several times since to use for cuts and sores and have never known them to fail to cure what l put them on. think Cuticura is a great remedy and would advise any one to use it.

 Some months ago the theory af i'm migration and the means of lpdue- Ing desirable class of foreign set tiers to this part of the state was taken under comprehensive discus. sion by the business organizations of thls city, and the matter carried to sach extreme that Right Rev. Father Julian DeVos, president of the for. eign immigration bureau. with head quarters at Chicago, was invited and accepted an invitation to visit Helena in the above interests.
