THE CAUSE
OF PHEASANT FIGHT
Chinese Birds Are Not Destroying
Crops ~ They Are Insect
Eaters for the Most Part

Flocks of pigeons, which are be-
coming numerous, especially in the
territory west of the city and which
have played havoc with corn and pea
fields and with other seed crops have
caused considerable opposition to the
pheasants, some of which is based on
Ignorance and some of which is based
love for nature to get rid of all birds
and animals. Careful investigation
in those sections where pheasants
have been reported as doing damage
has revealed the fact that pigeons
and chickens are the offenders.
Pheasants are primarily an insectivor-
Gus bird and 1t is for that reason THAI
they were first brought to America
at all. New York state officials have
been making a special study of the
pheasant to determine the character
of its food, and Superintendent Rog-
ers of the state department, which
has had the matter in charge, says:
What Pheasants Eat
THE economic alue of the pleas
ant far exceeds that of the quail
Both are insectiverous birds. but the
quail only to certain extent. In
vestigation shows that over 1870 spe-
cies of insects are sought for food by
the pheasant. AS an insect destroyer
pheasant Will consume enormous
quantities of the wire-worm or pota-
to grub, as we'll as the potato bug
and other ill-smelling bugs which
many other birds avoid on account
of their obnoxious odor. Prominent
among the other insects which the
pheasant devours raveously are the
Colorado potato beetle. the squash
bug, the cucumber and bean leaf
beetle, the tomato and cut worm,
the abbage worms and the millers
which deposit eggs for wire-worms.
Are Tireless Workers
"Pheasants are tireless in their
search for insect food. In winter
they can be seen looking over dead
leaves, picking off the larvae of the
different tree insects deposited on the
other side and inspecting every old
stump or fallen tree to find some del
fcacy to add to their daily menu.
''In addition to destroying enormous
quantities of insects. injurious to
growing crops, they also consume OBJ
noxious weed seeds, such as thistles,
wild carrot, mustard seed and the
seeds of the milk weed"

An Old
Army Drum

Civil and Spanish war veterans, Of
North Yakima almost. on Memorial
day, followed in their street parade
drum with a history But for an
accident by which the head of the
rdum was broken, which prevented
its use, Rev. John T. Roberts. who
was the drummer of the day, would
have used an instrument, now the
property Of George ~ Tuesley, which
was first used in the Confederate army
and afterwards in the Union army. AT
some later date the veterans here will
have an opportunity of following be-
hind 1t, and Rev Mr. Roberts.
Was a Confederate Drum
The drum was picked up on the
banks of the Rappahannock river in
Virginia from where it had fallen
when thrown away by Confederate
drummer in retreat. 1t was found by
G. Fl Tuesley, father of George n.
and w. f Tuesley, who was drummer
with Company ID. LIST Maine Heavy
Artillery, and was used by him
throughout the latter part of the civil
war to cheer on the Union soldiers.
The drum originally was of the long
type, but was later cut down to the
present form The original hoops,
snares and drum remain but the
heads have been replaced.
Rev. Mr.. Roberts often wishes he
had his own old army drum He
carried 1t through the war all right,
but afterwards when he became a
young Methodist clergyman he had
a sense of dignity which later he
learned was false but during that time
he disposed of his old army drum.
Since that time he has made futile
efforts to trace and recover his old
instrument. but failed He is in hope
that some day he, will recover IL and
naturally regrets every time he Is
called upon to drum. that he ever let
1t go.

Origin of Colors in Yellowstone Park

That the harmonious and brilliant
tints in the geysers and hot-spring
pools are due mainly to plant life is
one of the Interesting statements
made in publication entitled 'The
Geological History of Yellowstone
Department of the Interior. Algae
flourish equally well In the waters OF
all geyser basins and on the terraces
of Mammoth Hot Springs. Wherever
these boiling waters cool to the tenn
perature of 1855 degrees algous
growths appear, and by the lowering
of the temperature on exposure to air
still more highly organized forms
gradually come in. 1t is said that
at about lao degrees the conditions
are favorable for the rapid growth OF
plant life at such excessive tempera-
lures and on scale of such magni-
tude seems a marvellous thing. No
where else can this be seen so well as
in the Yellowstone Park
AS the water in shallow pools chills
rapidly, corresponding changes in col
or follow. No life exists in the CEN
ter, where the water is boiling. On
the outer edge certain colors pre-
vail, and in the cooler overflow chan
nels still other colors predominant. In
a
vegetation in an overflow stream con-
sists of creamy white Elementary
threads passing into light flesh tints
and then to deep salmon. With dis
lance from the source of heat, the
predominating colors pass from
bright orange to yellow, yellowish
green, and emerald. and in the still
cooler waters various shades OF
brown.
The marvellous colors in the Grand
Canyon of the Yellowstone are mainly
due to mineral matter, the pigments
being derived from the lavas. Alone
the base of the canyon thermal and
solfataric agencies have been at work
through long ages, slowly but steadily
decomposing the rhyolite rock thai
forms the walls Upon the buttressed
walls and sculptured amphitheaters
tints of green and yellow are inter
mingled with red, the colors beins
blended with singularly harmonious
effects. From the roaring turbulen,
river at the bottom to the somber
green forests at the top, the abrupt
walls seem aglow with color.
This publication contains an &C.
count of the geologic forces that have
caused the wonderful natural features
that have made the Yellowstone IA
nous throughout the world. 1t Is IL.

the principal features of the park and

WASH|NGTON'S HIGH
AUTO REGISTRATION
Evergreen State Tied With Kansas
for Fourteenth Place. Tacoma
Percentage High

Hand in hand with the wonderful
growth of the state of Washington Is
the growth of the, automobile indus
tries and the number of autos in her
boundaries. From an obscure posi-
ton in. the list of auto using commun-
tiles, Washington has risen IN the
past two years to the enviable posi-
ton of 14th, tied with Kansas in the
number of auto users.
Much of this credit for the increase
comes to the City of Destiny, which
Is given credit for nearly 80 per cent
of all autos shipped to the state. Ru-
raj districts are now fast taking to
the automobile, while the demand in
the city ever Is increasing both for
the cheaper makes of machines and
the high-grade cars
Gains to Continue
With the completion OF a number
of good roads projects now about to
be put under way and the likelihood
of generous appropriation for high
way construction by the next legis-
lature, Washington's motoring contin-
gent undoubtedly Will be increased
still more. According to the Autonlo-
bile Directories company of New York
which makes Il business Of listing the
owners Of automobiles in this coun-
try, there are now in active use 652,-
Asa cars. This Includes pleasure and
commercial vehicles OF this num-
Der $4,000 are registered in New York
state, while California Is second on
the list with 6l,TS4,e and Ohio and
Pennsylvania, third and fourth, with

aggregate is flattering tribute to tho
growth of the industry and the pop
ularity of the automobile

NOT AN IDLE MAN
N CITY Of Detroit
John E. Smith of Northern Elk
press Co. Saw Blossom Festi-
val Pictures in Big Theatre

John e. Smith agent here of the
Northern Express company, who, with
Mrs. Smith, has just returned from a
trip to the east. going as far as De-
troit, where he spent most of his time,
says there Is not an idle man in that
city except those who are voluntarily
idle He spent half a. day with a
friend looking for man to work in a
brick yard and couldn't find one,
There liz great deal of life and ac-
tivity, he says, in the Michigan city,
due there primarily to the great ac-
tivity in the automobile factories
which,. according to Mr. Smith, are
furnishing support to over 10000
people In that city alone. Everybody
Is buying automobiles, and horses and
buggi,s are a scarcity In the streets,
which are unusually clean and at
tractive looking as a consequence. Mr..
Smith thinks that in a few years not
as many automobiles will be sold as
now, as the. desire for them seems to
be an extravaganza which will be out
grown.
Saw Festival Pictures
Mr.. and Mrs. Smith, In vaudeville
theater at Detroit, had the oppor-
tunity of seeing the streets OF North
Yakima. Mayor Splawn and other
citizens and sections of the blossom
festival parade They did not know
what they were going to see until the
pictures flashed before them. The
theater was 50-75-cent house, in
which 1000 people are seated and
where tickets have to be bought u
week ahead. He figures that at least
$4,000 Detroit people saw the Yakima
scenes that week. Mr.. and Mrs Smith
were here for the Blossom Festival
parade and were not altogether
pleased with the moving pictures be-
cause of the inadequate idea they
gave of the city and its special festi.
val. The pictures, however. were
good and will be a great advertise
ment being shown, as they are,
wherever the Pathe films are used and
seen by thousands daily
Neither Taft Nor Roosevelt
Asked whether Roosevelt or Taft
was the popular republican, Mr. Smith
said that from what he heard Taft
had IT slightly over Roosevelt, but
that the bulk of the sentiment, as he
heard 1t expressed, was that the rank
and file had hopes that some other
candidate would be chosen. preferably
Hughes.
Numerous of the people he met,
Mr.. Smith says, are acquainted either
in person or through friends with the
Yakima country, and one and all they
felt lis pockets for Yakima apples.

Big Wheat Crop Also
Together with the predictions for
banner fruit crop this year, comes
the word from eastern Washington
that this years wheat crop will be
one of more than usual size. The
same weather conditions that assured
Washington of a record fruit crop
were instrumental in helping the
grain men, The wheat in the Walla
Walla country is now about a foot
high. The conditions are said to be
excellent in the Palouse. Camas
Prairie and Big Bend countries, as
well as along the main line of the
Northern Pacific.
In the counties east of the Cascade
mountains more wheat land was put
under cultivation this year than ever
before, and If conditions remain at
their present stage, wheat crop will
be harvested in the Northwest this
year larger than ever before. The
railroads, cognizant of these facts, are
already preparing to handle the crops
by building several hundred addition
al box cars.
