CHINESE PHEAsANTS
IN THE JOHN DAY

JOHN DAY, Aug. 28.-Fifty pairs
Of Chinese pheasants have been re-
ceiyed by Cy J. Bingham. president Of
the local Rod and Gun club. for dis
tribution in the John Day valley. The
birds were shipped from the state
game farm at Corvallis. They stood
the trip in good shape. not one being
crippled or killed. The birds were
liberated all along the John Day val
ley and few were sent to the north
ern part Of the county.
Mr. Bingham retained two pairs for
breeding purposes. He has fitted up
wire pen with all other necessary
equipment. and intends to raise
pheasants for distribution throughout
the county. 1t is probable that other
rod and gun clubs throughout the
county will also attempt to raise CHI
nese pheasants for stocking the John
Day valley.

OF West Prussia and Posen In Prus-

er districts in Russia.
Russia and Prussia have treated
the Poles like conquered people. Both
countries have attempted to force
their own languages and institutions
on their Polish subjects by military
methods. Poland has been TO Rus
sia. and Posen, where most OF the
German Poles live, has been to Prus-
sia. what the Irish question, before
passage OF the home rule bill was TO
England.
Austria has treated her Polish in
habItants far more literally than has
Russia and Prussia. and the province
of Gallicia which is Austrian Po-

Good In Earth Roads.


CHAMPAIGN, H.. Feb. 4.--Persons.
who have said that there is no good
in earth roads. have done harm to the
cause OF road Improvement, accord
ing to Prof. L. o. Baker of the Uni
versity of Illinois. in an interview on
earth roads. He says that about e5
per cent of roads outside of the cities,
in Illinois, have an earth surface. The
new road law contemplates that ulti-
mately twenty per cent of the roads
in Illinois will have something more
than an earth surface. A statement
OF the poorness of earth roads, how
ever, has impeded Improvement of the
earth road
If community has neglected to use
thought, time and money in improv-
ing an earth road, it is improbable
that they will spend any considerable
sums in securing road with what is
said to be better surface, says the
professor He defined drainage as an
Essential of good road.
