AUDUBON SOCIETY," NOTES.

The cold, back ward spring does not
daunt the zeal of true Audubonist
for each Saturday morning finds a
number of these bird lovers out greet
ing the sweet voices of their old bird
friends who have buffeted the storms
and escaped the many dangers that
beset them on their northward jour
ney. Doubtless one wonders where
these daring travellers have been, and
what they have seen, and why do they
return to US ON schedule time each
year.
Migration is one of the most fas-
cinating of bird topics. These routes
of migration, sometimes called the
birds airline of travel, are rarely If
ever the shortest distances between
their summer and winter homes. There
is law, IAN inherent habit" among
bird travellers that every bird must
follow the route over which its par
ents flew. The cliff swallow for in
stance, could shorten it's journey by
at least 1000 miles. How do they
find their way? Do they carry a bird
compass? Naturalists call this power
the sixth sense or sense of direction.
The "homing instinct" which impels
the bird to start is frequently con-
fused with the sense of direction which
guides it on it's way.
From the birds time table you will
notice that the vast army of birds
has begun it's march. Four or five
thousand miles separate the advance
from the rear guard. All along the
line starting from the Antarctic ocean
these beautiful songsters will fall in
in order to reach their destination in
time. The first birds to come in the
spring are usually the last ones to
leave in the fall. These birds make
short journeys. wintering in the south

that are to be seen now include the

Service Stopped on HALEY
and Mackay Branches of
the Oregon Short Line by
Heavy Shows.
SUPPLY OF FUEL AT
HALEY EXHAUSTED
No Trains to Mackay Since
March 10 and Many Pas
sengers Are Marooned as
Result of the Blockade.

A serious condition exists along the
HALEY and Mackay branches Of the
Oregon Short Line railroad, for heavy
SHOWS, thaws and ice have blockaded
them, hemming in and isolating many
passengers from the outside world.
Bitter complaints against the service
were heard by the public utilities COM
mission in kilograms from HALEY and
Blackfoot.
At HALEY the coal situation Is re-
ported as serious. Schools and gov
eminent offices will be forced to close
unless coal is secured at once. This
report" says the telegram to the COM
mission from the HALEY Commercial
club, is directed against what is ut
most inefficiency of the carrier or a
studied discrimination against this
district"
The telegram from Blacllfoot is sign
ed by a number of prominent men. 1t
recites there has been no train over
the Mackay branch since March 10
and many passengers are marooned at
Blackfoot 1.-THE prospects for getting
through" says the telegram, ARE no
better than a week ago. Railroad com
pany not using rotary snowplow and
open line. Company not affording
needy passengers any relief"
RAILROADS HAVE TROUBLES.
The commission has taken the mat
ter up with the Short Line. 1t was
learned from the official, of that road
that 1t has been confronted with the
most difficult winter conditions of
years. The heavy SHOWS were bad
enough but when rain and a thaw fol-
lowed packing the snow after which
colder weather froze the water into ice,
IT has been found almost impossible to
get train through. The average
snow pillow cannot be used. Rotary
plows are not very successful A ro-
tary is to be put on both branches i'm
mediately to clear them.
The Short Line with other roads ex-
perienced little trouble the early part
of the winter and expected to escape
without the main or branch lines being
blockaded. The late spring, however,
and the heavy SHOWS caused a great
deal of trouble. On the Union Pacific
in Wyoming the main line was so clog
ged with snow and ice that plows
would not work at all and the tracks
had to be cleared for miles by crews of
men.

country a firm foundation. The climax
Of the photo drama comes in the kid
gaping of the beautiful heroine, Marian
Stilwell, by a Spanish outlaw: the
girls flight, her rescue by the viz.
ilante posse, led by John Brandon. her
lover. and the final execution of the
outlaw. Many historical personages
are represented and the mob scenes, in
which thousands of people appear, are
said to be the biggest and most real
istic episodes ever filmed. Through
out the play a most charming love
story runs its course, eliminating in a
tremendously exciting scene that marks
the climax Of the third episode.
