CURIOUS ALASKAN BIRDS.
Male Ptarmigans Woo In Two Tongues
and Bully Their Mates.

ana ouIiy lneIF WdSeS'
The ptarmigan. an Alaskan bird, is
wonderful imitator Of man. If Bel
more Browne. who contributes IN ar
ticle on Alaskan game to Outing. is to
be believed. To begin with. the author
finds that the ptarmigan is linguist
of no mean ability. The male does his
wooing in mixed French and English:
"A pleasing side of their mating is
the habit of the males Of uttering their
call while on the wing. They COM
mence with cultural cackle, which
they utter faster and faster until they
alight. when they end their song by
repeating slowly a call that sounds
like ged-up, ged-up, ged-up. ged-up or
parlez vous? parlez vous? parlez vous ?
as they strut proudly about"
In addition to singing in two Ian
guages, the ptarmigan conducts his
personal and domestic affairs in ap-
proved fashion. Could not the follow
ing observation apply to, human beings
as we'll as to this remarkable bird:
1.-THE males fight constantly, and the
hens seem to enjoy these battles and
sit about clucking among themselves
but once a hen has decided on a
mate she comes into her own share Of
troubles and is beaten and bullied by
the mate she has promised to love and
obev."

Congressman Would Like to Know

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.A chais
lenge to Attorney General McReynolds

tice is not derelict in its prosecution
OF suit against the Southern Pacific
railway to determine ownership of oil
lands worth billion dollars, was is
sued tonight by Representative
Thompson, an Illinois progressive. He
said that on Monday he will introduce
a resolution demanding an expiana-
ton In delays in prosecuting the suit
despite the fact that an Official Of the
department of justice had called on
him presumably to head on the
report.
Thompson's resolution as drafted re.
cites that in 1866 the Southern Pacific
railway was granted a great acreage
lof public domain with special ex.
emption against mineral lands In 1908
the interior department ruled that
| this exemption did not hold but later
1t was discovered that there had been
prior signed agreement binding the
company to recognize the exemption
| The resolution states that 1t was on
this agreement of December, 1908
after two years inaction, suit was
j filed to obtain title This suit is now
before the United States supreme
court and the governments action is
/ tied UP waiting its decision.

whether any steps have been taken
Ito stop the construction of oil wells
on the 125,000 acres and whether the
Southern Pacific has steadily increas
ed its wells until 1t is now taking on,
S250.000 worth of petroleum monthly
and the reason for delays in pro
ceedings.
While / was not specifically per
suaded into introducing this resolu
ton" Thompson said tonight, "a de
lpartment of justice official who called
on me suggests that my resolution
might embarrass the government in
the suit and that Il should suggest
some course OF action instead of crit
licising. I replied that discovered

Council Meets.

The city council held their regular
meeting Tuesday night of this week
in the law office of 'IressIer & kiron,
and it was the best attended meeting
of the year. The usual number Of
bills were disposed of and new spe-
cial improvement district created and
the contract for the construction of
the water works and sewerage system
was signed up by the council. The
work is to be completed sometime in
July. Engineer Jaqnith was present
and took up the matter of establish
ing grades in the city with the coun-
Gil. He explained that it is nee
essity to have the grade lines estab-
lished before the work of putting in
the hydrants and sewerage was COM
menced, as it might mean the chan
ging of several hytlrants and possibly
some OF the mains. A contract WAS
entered into between the city and
Mr.. Jaqueth to establish grades thru
the city and to furnish the city with
a plat book showing the grade lines.
The ordnance drafted by h.. order
of the council at its last meeting
came up, and. upon motion, was laid
on The table.
Rev. Coolsingham appeared before
the council with petition signed by
number Of The citizens Of the city
requesting the city council to have
an ordnance drawn to make it unlaw.
tul TO: stores, saloons, and other bust
ness places to open on Sunday. This
subject brought up considerable dis
cussion by both sides, and was very
ably handled by Rev. Cookin CHAM
and Attorney Stevens for the closing
on Sundays, and number Of the sa-
loon men spoke in favor of staylno
open, and gave their reasons in de-
tail. A motion was made to kill the
proposition, but was lost on account
of no second. After considerable ar
gtlment another motion was made tc
have the ordnance drawn, and this
was carried after roll call of the
aldermen present was made. those III
