Northern Birds in UmatiIla County

Further evidence of an exception
allv cold winter in the arctic regions
was found Sunday near Hermiston'
by Stanley G. Jewett, local ornith0l-
orist. when he succeeded IN securing
specimens Of several northern BIRDS
that very rarely come this far south.
Two of these are western tree spar
rows. The only record of these birds
ever having been seen this far south
before was in 1882. William Brew
ster. noted ornithologist of Cambridge,
Mass. has q record of such a Dlfa
having been killed in Walla Waiia
that year, Mr., Jewett also secured
an Arctic horned owl which IS con-
sidered different from the snowy owl
being barred instead Of white or
speckled. He also secured some nor
thern shrike, commonly called butcher
birds. All Of these birds range most
IL IN The northlands. Ii all Mr.. deiS-
cit took note Of more than 20 species
Of winter birds.

3 MEASURES READY
FOR CONSIDERATION
Congress 10 Get Down TO Ac.

immigration Bill.

Washington. -- Congress VIII se'
down TO actual work this week. Three
measures are ready for immediate con-
sideratlon. They are the District OF
Columbia prohibition biil. immigration
bill and corrupt practices measure.
After debate over the exclusion Of
aliens on account Of race. the senate
adopted the committee amendment to
the immigration bill. which would bar
Hindus and certain other Aslatics
without mentioning them By name.
with an added provision stipulattng
that nothing In the act shall be con
strued to repeal any existing law,
treaty or agreement which serves to
prohibit or restrict immigration.
The committee amendment pre-,
scribes certain geographical areas
from which immigrants shall not be
admitted instead OF naming races or
nationalities. as was done In the bill
as il passed the house.
Nation. Wide Focd Probe 10 Planned.
Officials conducting the government
inquiry into the high cost of living vlr-
tually have completed a program 70

torney General Gregory providing for
simultaneous grand jury investigation
through the country.

Labor Men Seeking Substitute Plan.
Congressional action on President
Wilson's railway legislation program
probably will await the result Of ef-
forts OF labor leaders to draft as q
substitute for all forms OF compulsory
arbitration a plan for dealing with
strikes. actual and threatened, which
will be agreeable to all concerned.
The determination OF the president
to try to make impossible such q sit
uation as he faced last September In
the railroad dispute has aroused all
branches Of labor to the greatest ac-
tivity. The unofficial alliance between
the American Federation of Labor and
the four railway brotherhoods, arrang-
ed for the purpose, among other
things, of opposing dangerous iegis,
lation," is bearing its first fruit in
conferences between representatives
of both organizations for the purpose
OF drafting a plan that will shelye all
compulsory arbitration bills,

The. Kind We Would Like,

Mile Lacs county is to vote on the
propositionoof issuing $4,000 in bonds
to build good east and west road
within the county from the Benton
county line on the St. Cloud Princeton
road, to the Isanti line on the Prince
tom Cambridge road, and also a north
and south road from the Sherburne-
county line to Mile Lacs lake. It is
proposed to make these we'll graded
and graveled roads. It is the best in
vestment the county can make. Ben
ton cou unity should make an equally
good connecting road. The present
road, with the exception of stretches
at the St. Cloud and Princeton ends
is disgrace to both counties. No road
in this section would be more used OF
of greater benefit to the public. We
hope that the people of Mile Lacs
county will vote the bonds. It shoulc

An enemy Of the high cost of living
now suggests that the American peo-
pie do not eat enough fish. DR.. Hugh
M. Smith, commissioner Of the FEEDER
al Bureau of Fisheries, recently OBJ
served in this connections:
It is reported that the fish con-
sumption in this country is about
twenty pounds to the person a year;
but it is probably not more than half
that amount. Our per capita meat
consumption is about one hundred and
seventy pounds year. Go to your
market and get the prices on meats
and on fish, and compare them. Do
this not once but continually and you
will get bright practical light on the
reduction Of the high cost of living.
It will not solve the whole problem by
any means. To claim this would be
absurd. But it can be used to cut
down the family living to an extent
of which the average American has
little idea. The European understands
this and he utilizes the poor mans
meat in good earnest. T..
