HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS

Protection is the prime requisite for
increasing the number of birds in an
area, and the results of protection are
in direct proportion to the amount
given.
Besides insuring birds against every
form of persecution by human kind,
we must defend them from various
natural foes. The most effectual
single step is to provide a place for
the birds free from the cats.
Although a considerable number Of

our native birds build their nests on
the ground, the majority place them in
trees of shrubs. either in holes or on
the limbs or In crotches.
Shrubbery and trees for nesting
sites. therefore. are essential for max
ing the place attractive to birds. and
q double purpose is served II the kinds
planted are chosen from the list of
fruit-bearing species. Shrubs should

OREGON SHORT
Line WILL TEST
ADAMSON ACT
Suits Brought by Railroads
Operating in Idaho Attack
Constitutionality of the
Eight-hour Law.

The Oregon Short Line has Joined the
list of railroads which will test the
Adamson law. Suit was filed by Short
Line counsel in the United States court
for the district of Montana at Butte
yesterday.
A similar action was filed by the
Northern Pacific at Spokane. Both ac-
lions set forth claim that he Adamson
law is unconstitutional and allege that
it is impossible to apply the require
ments of the act to the situation act
ually existing upon the railroads.
VIOLATION OF CONTRACT.
The Northern Pacific complaint says,
in part:
"If, as defendants contend, the act
requires complainant to pay for eight
hours work the amount which it now
pays for unit of work requiring a
greater number of hours to perform,
with overtime after eight hours on pro
rata basis, the act would require COM
plainant to pay to defendants en-
plOyes within the eight months period

1t takes the property of the COM
plainant and during the period of in
vestigation forces it's transfer to en-
ployes. purely for an experimental pur-
pose and not as a regulation of COM
merce," the complaint says.
Said experiment is conducted at the
cost and expense of the complainant
and its property is unlawfully taken
from it and given to it's employees, not
for any purpose of regulating com
merce, but merely to observe the effect
thereof and to obtain Information for
some indefinite and undisclosed pur-
pose"

CITY NOW WITHOUT
MONEY TO PAY FOR
STREET SPRINKLING

Mayor S. II. Hays is being asked by
people why the streets are not being
sprinkled during this dry weather. The
reason is. he stated today. the contract
made for sprinkling the streets ex-
pires on Nov. and the assessment for
sprinkling purposes does not extend
beyond that time. For this reason
there is no fund to pay for sprinkling
at the present time except as the
money is taken from the general fund.
THE dry weather this fall has caus-
ed much annoyance" said the mayor
today. and it will be necessary to
frame an entirely new street sprink-
ling contract the coming year.

BOARD TO STA ID
BY THE REPORT
OF ATEENC|NEER
Mackay Dam Controversy
Is Closed Incident So Far
as the Land Department
Is Concerned.

So far as the state land board is
concerned the Mackay dam contro-
versy is closed the state engineer hav-
ing approved the revised plans for the
dam and project and the board adopt
ing his report some time ago. At a
meeting of the board late yesterday
afternoon communication was read
from the citizens committee of
Mackay in which it was shown that
Engineer Lippincott, of Los Angeles,
employed by the committee to review
the revised plans, objected to the plans.
The board found itself confronted
with the reports of two engineers, the
first, or that of State Engineer Smith.
approving the revised plans, and the
second, that of Engineer Lippincott,
disappearing Their. 1t decided to stand
by the recommendation of the state
engineer.
COMPANY CAN PROCEED.
1t is understood that in compliance
with the boards stand the Utah Con-
struction company may go ahead with
Il 2 construction of the dam and the
project.
Just what action the citizens of
Mackay will take, if any, is not known.
The matter has been hanging fire for
some time and for a number of years
has been one of the most knotty prob
lens that the state land board has had
to deal with. The citizens of Mackay
claim that construction of a faulty dam
to replace that of the old structure in
the Big Los river above Mackay
means great danger to the town and
the valley below. The state engineer
and state officials seem to be con-
WINGED that the revised plans leave no
chance of fault in the dams construc-
ton.
BIRCH CREEK PROJECT.
The state engineer submitted a re-
port 10 the board protesting against
the state permitting the Birch Creek
Irrigation company segregating 5000
acres of land in Fremont county as a
Carey act project on the grounds the
promoters only have sufficient water
to supply $4,000 acres. There is a
question also involving the water
rights. In a second report the state
engineer approved the dam reservoir
and works of the Twin Falls Oakley
project. Both reports were received
and filed.
