This land tho Coos Ray, Lower

the iiresides among their elders at that

the Lower Coos Bay tribe chief Jim
Tyee and Chief Jack Rogers of the other
Coos BAY tribes: Chiefs Supina, Joe

The oldest Indian now living who re-

tells many interesting things about the
gathering and says that DR.. Drew. an
Indian agent, was also a participant In
the meeting.

Hawley Of Oregon already have MAIDS
research in the AFFAIR and found a letter
from President buchanan addressed to
Congress when submitting the treaty 70

years after It's being signed. Senator
Lane is reported also TO have In his pos
session a true copy Of the treaty as pre-

TENT ~CATERP1LLARS.

This is the season of the year when

Gays IL spring the larve escape from

such trees at least should he searched.
As soon as small nests are detected
they should he destroyed. as this pre-

COCHIN BANTAMS ARE
EXCELLENT AS PETS
Also Bring Good Prices in the
Market and Are Fair
Egg Producers.

This breed was developed from the
.Pekin Bantams. which were Il part OF
the spoils obtained at Pckin. China. and
sent to England by the British. After
being inbred for a number OF years these
fowls lost stamina n as there was no
way to obtain new blood the English
fancierS then commenced crossing other
breeds In an effort to save the Pekins
from dying out. The Nankin bantam
was used n also the LARGE Cochins.
These infusions Of new blood saved the
breed and brought out some off colored
birds, among them being the Whites and
the Blacks. Crossing with common
White Bantams and White Booted Ban
tams help to fix the coiored character
istics.
In America White Cochin Bantams
originated from sports or albinos FROM
the Buns. English White Cochin Ban
tams were imported and tho two blood
lines were intermingled with excellent
results.
The White Cochin Bantams Of Amer
lean origin were very brassy or yellow.
while those OF English origin were pure
white, but large. Crossing the strains
produced Cochin Bantains that were
small and we'll formed and at the same
time perfectly white. Many excellent
specimens are now shown and it has
been conceded that greater Improvement
has been made In this variety than in
the original Bluffs.
White Cochin Bantams make hrst rate
pets. They are small and doc.lo and
become very tame. The hens are splen-
did layers and their eggs are surpris-
ingly large when the size OF the hen
is considered.
Showroom specimens bring prices
ranging from s. to SIS and many fan
' ciers secure a very satisfactory income
from the sale 81 stock and eggs.
