Closing hours of the debate were fea-

states rights was heard in volume.
Senator Phelan, with an eye to the
lCalifornia wine industry, proposed that
each state have the right to say wheth.
er all malt, vineous and distilled liz
uors should go or whether it should be
whiskey alone.
LaFollette said he opposed prohibi-
tion but voted for the bill because it
would be put up to the people. Sooner
or later he predicted congress must give
the people the right of initiative and
referendum on constitutional amend
lments and on all legislation.
The first call of the roll on the
amendment showed exactly sixty four
votes favoring the measure with eigh-
teen against. This was all that was
necessary to adopt the amendment. A
call Of absentees netted one more for

she had good view of the street down

corner just beyond Yancey's house. Miss

Unconscious of our gaze, he came down
the street. stopped fraction of second

way there a thought came to me: Why
hadn't Miss Leland suggested returning
at once to the fortune-teller's and con-
fronting Dane? The idea had come to
me as we sat there in the carriage, but
for various reasons I'd not suggested it.

Most of Oregon Birds Are Friends OF
Farmer,

Farmer.
University of Oregon, Eugene.-In
all Oregon's four regions of animal
life, among the 400 or $50 distinct
species of birds found in the state,
only a mere half dozen are harmful
to Mr.. Farmer or Mr.. Gardener or to
anyone at all The unwelcome ones
are, to dispense with the disagreeable
thing first, the great horned owl,
which kills poultry; the shrike, or
butcher bird, which preys on smaller
birds; the cooper and the sharp
Skinned hawk foes of poultry, game
birds and song birds; and the jays,
which rob other nests and destroy the
young of smaller birds
The climatic and geographical con-
ditions of Oregon divide the state into
four distinct sections, eastern Oregon,
western Oregon, southern Oregon and
the coast regions. This fact is re
sponsible for the states wealth of
bird and animal life.
The coast regions, for instance, are
the direct routes of migration for the
shore BIRDS. and there sandpipers,
surf D'rds, gulls and surf ducks
abound.
Western Oregon, in turn, is known
among biologists as the region of the
transitionfor osts, and the territory
is rich in the bird life familiar to all
lovers of the university campus
crested jays, tanagers, chickadees and
purple finches. Here, too, are the
famous game birds of Oregon, the
pheasant, quail and grouse and
ducks in plenty.
Eastern Oregon is a far country
from this and much of it is called
the region of the upper Sonoran des-
erts, Desert sparrOws, pinion jays,
sage thrashers and magpies are the
rule there, while the lakes are alive
with ducks, geese and other game
birds.
Southern Oregon is the intermedi-
ate land between the wet, humid por-
tions of western Oregon and the dry
California regions. Many California
species never come farther north than
this territory.
An approximate list of Lane county
land birds recently compiled and is
sued by the zoology department Of
the university shows 14S species fol
this region alone, and in the list nc
water birds of any type were includ.
ed.
Almost none Of these are injurious
to crops, while even the birds Of prey
find themselves welcomed into thu
best society for their service in kill
ing rodents, gophers and insects.
