SPARE THE BIRDS,
PLEA OF CLUB WOMEN

Two million FIVE hundred thousand
members OF the general federation of
women's clubs thruout the United
States are anxiously watching the
senate which is now in session at
Washington to see what action they
expect to take on the migratory treaty
bill. Every pressure possible has
been brot TO bear on congress to get
this bill enacted into a law before the
close fthe present session. which ex-
pires on the 4th of March.
Women's clubs everywhere have
spent much time and effort in get.
ting this bill before congress and are
now much concerned as to whether
the bill will be passed over on ac-
count of so much other urgent bus
mess which has come before congress
on account of the break in diplomatic
relations with Germany
The migratory bird bill was intro
duced into the senate by Senator g.
NJ. Hitchcock OF Nebraska, and in the
house by Representative Henry G.
Flood of Virginia. The importance OF
this measure lies in the fact that IL
will enable the United States and
Canada to act in unison for the pres
eryaiion of the migratory birds. This
is necessary inasmuch as many of the
insectivorous birds of the United
States migrate to Canada TO nest
while others make an annual migra
ton from South and Central America
to northern Canada and return.
The local women's clubs have had
several discussions lately over this
bill and have used every means in
their power TO help the good work
along. The bird problem OF the Unit.
ed States has become to be looked
upon as one oi the serious problems
OF the country, probably more so than
many people realize. Birds OF Ger,
tain species are very helpful in many
sections of the country In exterminat.
ing destructive insects among the
fruit oe lters and hunters of late years
years have used no discretion in
shooting every sort of bird which hap
pened to come within gunshot.

WILL CHANGE ROAD
ON PARKDALE HILL

AS the result of visit of inspec-
ton Friday morning the board of
county commissioners has decided to
puild a new road on Parkdale hill in
order TO avoid the steep grade and
dangerous curves on the present high
way there.
To satisfy themselves of the prac-
ticability of the construction of the
proposed new roadway the members
of the board of county commissioners.
consisting of J. Victor McCandless of
Florence, Gs V. Hodgin of Canon City
and James Belknap of Howard, with
County Surveyor James Bunten, made
thoro investigation of the matter
and found the undertaking not only
feasible, but comparatively easy to
build.
The present road, which is a part of
the Canon City-Salida highway, has a
grade of fourteen and half per cent
and contains a number of sharp
curves. making it hazardous and diff
| fcult of travel by motor vehicles
especially after nightfall. Already
there have been two or three acci
dents there and others are likely tc
occur. It is the most dangerous
stretch of roadway on the Rainbow
route anywhere between Canon City
and the western slope and many in
quiries have been made during the
last year or SO why the authorities
have done nothing to improve It.
After making a somewhat complete
investigation OF the undertaking Mr.
Bunten says that new road can be
built on a seven and half per cent
gradient, with all OF the sharp curves
OF the present highway eliminated
at an expense OF not exceeding $1,000
Perhaps II can be constructed for con
siderably less than that amount. The
new road would be only 300 feet long
er than the present one and the grade
only onehalf as steep.
The county commissioners will
probably order its construction M
soon as the necessary surveys and
other preliminary work In connection
with the enterprise can bc done.

PARkDAlE PONDS
GET MORE TROUT

Another consignment of trout fry

received by the fish and game COM

Commerce from the Denver hatchery
on Wednesday. There were 10000

were brot here in thirty-three cans
by Mr.. Ribbing. representing the state
game and fish commission, on Rio

noon.
Theodore M. Harding, chairman Of
the Chamber of Commerce commit

stocking the Arkansas river with fish,
accompanied Mr.. Ribbing to Park
dale, where they were met by d. l..
Robson, w. E. Galley. Bert Ellis,
and Chris Miller, after which the
trout were placed in the ponds.
The committee reports the Park.
dale ponds as being in splendid con-
dition and the fish in them growing
nicely.
The Chamber of Commerce is doing
splendid work in its endeayors to
restock the waters of the Arkansas
river with game Ash and the effects
of its enterprise will soon be appar-
ent to anglers. The conversion of
the river into a good fishing stream
will be great boost in directing the
