CLASSED AS CLASSIC
CINCINNATI SOCIETY PAYS HIGH
TRIBUTE TO GOV. BYRNE.

Pierre, March 13.-The governor
oil South Dakota is given credit for
having produced the most statesman
like message of any 1915 governor,
In a bulletin of the Joseph Fels fund
commission sent out by the American
Economic league of Cincinnati. The
bulletin says.
IF a prize were offered for the
most statesmanlike message this year
from a governor to the legislature.
the winner would easily be Gov.
Frank M. Byrne of South Dakota.
This Is because In his recommends
lions the governor follows reason and
logic regardless OF conventional views
and prejudices. On the question OF
taxation, for instance, he boldly says
what too many other officials will
but timidly hint, II they speak al all.
After quoting literally from Gov.
Byrne's message I'm regard 10 class
flying property for purposes OF tax
alton so there will not be a penalty
on improvements or a reward In the
way of a tax immunity for him who
gives nothing of value or advantage
TO the community. the bulletin adds:
The theory IL wrong on which the
general property tax Is based: the
theory thai taxes should be levied In
proportion to what a man has regard
less of the nature Of the property he
owns. Gov. Byrne, however. wisely
rejects this discredited fallacy and
presents the sound principles which
must be followed without deviation
In order to build a just system. The
advice he has given to the South Da-
kota legislature should without a
single change, be adopted by every
state in the union"
II is interesting to note that the
South Dakota legislature before ad
journing last week. gave heed TO Gov.
Byrne's advice in taxation matters
and passed a resolution to submit "a
the people a constitutional amend.
ment that will pave the way for an
entire change in the system. II will
make possible doing away with ths
general property tax as o consti'
tuted. classifying property for taxa
tion, imposing an income tax and ar
occupation tax.
The way may yet be long TO this
tax reform as the amendment must
first be adopted by the people. and
the legislature then must provide un'
der its authority for a new taxation
system. But as far az lay In the
power of the governor and the legis'
lature the step has been taken and Il
remains for the people to ratify II II

Sioux City, March 13.-Cattle re-
ceipts for the fifth session this week
are estimated at 500 head. as against
116 a week ago and 326 the CORE
spending day a year ago.
Moderation of cattle marketing
was sufficient TO check the downward
trend to prices, and today's trade was
conducted on a basis steady to strong
with that of Thursday.
No great change was reported in
the outlet for feeding cattle as COM
pared with yesterday. Dealers have
quite a few on hand and did not take
much interest in the fresh arrivals
and what little change there vas in
the way Of weaker prices for the or
binary grades of both steers and she
stuff.
A whirlwind hog market was had
at the local yards this morning. Sup
plies were fairly liberal. but the de-
mand was very urgent, both from To-
cal packers and shippers, and when
trades were made the general aver
age for the day showed a bulge of

terday. Tops were elevated to $3.50,
while the bulk OF the sales ranged
from $6.7OQ6.75.
Receipts of ovine stock were again
very limited and this made 1t almost
impossible to detect changes in the
price list. Top for lambs reached
$3.50, while best ewes sold at $3.50.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, March IL
While many communities are indulg-
ing in good natured rivalry TO see
which will be the one to report the
coming OF the first robin, bird lovers
are planning a campaign in behalf OF
the feathered tribe of the. air in the
hope of reducing the ruthless slaugh-
ter which Is the concern or all
thoughtful men and women Thanks
to the efforts OF numerous ornithoio-
gists who have carried on a campaign
in the schools In behalf OF the BIRDS,
the great majority OF children now
realize the value of these visitors,
and they are quick to resent any in
Jury 10 them. Bird clubs have been
organized in many OF the educational
institutions. and the result has been
n greatly reduced mortality.
Ornithologists have also been
greatly aided by the farmers and the
majority OF men who till the soil now
regard IL as a crime to kill a quail
on account of the value of these birds
in destroying noxious insects. The
government In Its migratory bird law
has prohibited the shooting of ducks
and other game birds in the spring,
when they are en- route to the breed
ing grounds of the north. III has
been found imperative to protect the
birds in the spring. or otherwise they
were threatened with extinction.
With the approach of spring the
birds are commencing to return from
their winter quarters In the south.
No one will give the resorters a
greater welcome than Isaac f. Hess
of Philo. ILL.,, ornithologist and bird
poet. The winter is always a dreary
season to him, for IL is then that his
friends, the birds, are away. Neces-
sity has made him a merchant. but
nature made him a bird lover. phil
osopher and bard. Perhaps IL was
because OF Philo's trees. %affording so
many opportunities for songsters'
nests. that Isaac Hess became an or
nithologist.
Hess started in as other boys have
done, only in his case there was no
break in his study OF birds, through
the crowding OF other interests. Al
though a busy mar In his commercial
field, he has continued to be a stu
dent in his ~favorite subject. and has
become one of the best known au-
thoritiies in the west, and he has be-
come In demand as a lecturer before
schools, clubs and meetings OF farm
ers.
Hess recently addressed a meeting
In the Masonic lodge at Homer and
learned that the order has become In
terested In the conservation OF bird
life. When secret societies take up
this subject, 1t indicates an important
awakening and one that is certain to
produce beneficial results.
Not only is Hess q successful lee
turer and poet, but he Is also a writer
and has contributed many articles to
the magazines. He Is also the author
of bird pamphlets which form the
basis OF a course of study at the Uni
versity OF Illinois.

Smith Automobile Company
\ HOME OF THE FORD :: :: :: :: WEST FIFTH STREET

All automobile advertising today is a striking testimonial
that Henry Ford was right years ago when he built the first
light cal. Automobile manufacturers see what Henry Ford
saw long since-that the light car is the car best adapted to
meet all conditions.
You can hardly read an adj today that doesn't make you
smile and say: There's another proof that Henry Ford has
been right all along"
You pick up a current magazine you thumb its pages.
You glance through the automobile advertising. Manufacture
es that formerly advertised the advantages of heavy cars
have bout faced and are now singing the song of the merit
of hghtness.
And it all proves that it has taken other manufacturers
ten years or more to see what Henry Ford saw during the
infancy of the automobile industry.
The Ford today is recognized as the standard light car the
world over. And it is the standard light car because Henry
Ford had the correct vision years before the others.
Call at our garage and let us show and demonstrate the
Ford to you.

 THE MINES

In mine back of Juneau Q ma chine man and helper drilled four teen holes in the wall or face of solid rock. The holes were loaded and the machine man lit the fuses while the helper was clearing away some tools. Just when they were all burning a slab of rock feell from above and pinioned the ma chine man against the face where they had been drilling. He could not escape. In a moment the ter ribIe blasts would complete the tale. The helper seeing the pre- dicament opened his pocket knife and began cutting the fuses. When about oue-haIf through Q second rock fell and FrOke his arm. He took the knife in his other hand and finished cutting the fuses, and then called for help to eXtricate the machine man.

 And in unison they declare that their forest experiment has been the. happiest period of their married life
 Our first job on entering the woods" said Estes, accounting their experiences, twas to cover our selves. We took big leaves and wovo them together in long strings with grass. Then we tied them about our shoulders and waists' Later we made suits Of birch bark covered with leaves and when we finally caught a deer in a trap we were able to make the suits of skin' which we wear now iu rough weather.
 "The next task was to build a fire. It took me about 20 minutes rubbing two logs Briskly together to get a spark from which could light a dry leaf Mrs. Estes slept that night on the ground in a dOwnpour, whils I stayed up and struggled to keep a fire going.
 "Tho next day we got our shelter buiIs, and since then there has been no hardship about our life. It is easy enough to get food. We bowl over rabbits and porcupines with rocks, we catch trout in the streams with a birch bark trap' there are scores of edible roots and greens, and there's our bread"
 How in the world Is bread made?" Estes was asked.
 Its an odd Eort of bread" he answered, "but 1t is good. When We caught our first deer In the deadfall, we saved his blood in bark pail until 1t iellied. Then we pounded up roots with 1t and baked i 1t in loaves. YouIl find 1t tasty at lunch"
 The Estes use sharp stones for knives. It was with one of these tools that Mrs. Estes locks were chopped off against a tree trunk when she found they annoyed her. Her woodsman husbanda tangled Titan hair is now longer than hers.

 Adam and Eve in city life are MT. and Mrs. Walter F. Estes, but for the duration of their forest exile they have taken the names of our biblical forobears.

 To all intents and purposes, the Estes, like Adam and Eve, are alone in the world, too Except for a courier, who brings word of their safety now and then to Portland, they see no human being from week to week.
