Is frlgate-hird capturing. The great
est ambition of native is to own
more of these mopy-looking birds than
any other native of his village. The
| tribal wealth of n native is estimated
by the number of well-nlled roOsts of
frlgate birds that he can maintain;
and maintenance, it may be added,
means much fishing to feed the birds.
fhese birds, uninteresting and always
apparently asleep on the roost, are
capable of an almost human cunning
in the manner in which, as decoys.
they can be trained to capture other
birds. On festival days, whole villages
meet to contest supremacy in their de-
coy birds. The king presldes over the
tournament, and the roosts are set up,
that of each village by itself. When
the decoy birds are set free not a wild
bird can be seen or heard. Up soar
the decoys until lost to sight Then,
presently, the air is rent by the
screams of wild birds gradually en-
ticed to the roosts with the tethered
tame birds. AS they approach the
roosts, becoming suspicious of the men
hidden beneath them, the wild birds,
deciding that matters have gone far
enough, try to soar away Now the
real labor begins. With open bills and
widespread wings the decoys attack
their victims, bar their way, head
them off, circling round and above
them until they are driven to the
roosts, bullied and exhausted.
count Is made, and the village and the
villager with the largest number of
captive birds to their credit are pub
licly praised by the king, whereupon
feasting and dancing begin.
Small as Nauru is, it is very beau
tiful island. A fine road, entirely COCO
nut-palm shaded, encircles the island,
making pleasant walking, driving
and riding space for the white inhab-
itants. In the hills are many lagoons
of great beauty, the clear waters re-
flecting the villages, coral rocks and
palms. The natives own areas of Ia
goons, as they do areas of land. in
fenced-in portions of which they keep
fish for food. These fish get so tame
that they can be caught in the hand.
Nauru will always be prominent In
the South Pacific owing to its CONNER
cial Importance, but the day will sure
ly come when regular tourist steamers
will visit this new and interesting
treasure island, and the world will
come to realize the wonders of its
industry, the charm of its
natives, and the beauties of its
scenery.

Give Calf First Milk
The calf must have the first milk

its mother on the second or third day.
In case the COW should die in calving
or develop disease, like garget or milk

should be substituted, and the calf Civ

is of the utmost Importance that calves
be fed the same amount of milk, at
the same temperature, from clean
buckets, at the same time each day.
Never feed enough milk to quite sat

calves, each day. the same as the milk

feed calves in stanchiOns, asserts Geo.
III. Glover of the Colorado Agricultural
college. They will spill less milk and
cannot suck each others ears, which is
detrimental. The fat that has been
removed in skimming may in meas
ure be substituted by adding handful
of linseed or cornmeal to each pail of
milk. Calves will begin to eat hay and
grain at an early age, especially If
they are in the same pen with older
calves. The main thing in raising
calves is cleanliness, regularity, and
Freedom from overfeeding.

lion Mark-Every Con-
venience Provided For
the Traveller

A public improvement which will
do much to raise Phoenix to the met
ropolitan class of American cities
will become a reality in this new year
OF 1922 unless the plans of railroad
officials to give il a fine modern un-
ion station are not delayed. Present
Indications are that the new depot
will be in use before the year is out,
sending Arizona's capital up another
notch in the ranks Of the nations
most progressive towns.
First discussed two years ago, IL
naily decided upon more than a year
in the past, the new union station
now looms UP as a definite, concrete
structure with no twist of circuIn-
stances can keep from merging into
solid steel and cement. Within the
next week or ten days a call for bids
for the magnificent building win be
issued, and the contract will be let
just as soon thereafter as the bids
can be checked and the best deter
mined by officials of the Santa Fe
and Arizona Eastern railroads. Then
IL will be a rush to complete the sta
ton. for the two roads are anxious
to finish it as the city at large is
to have it done.
Phoenix union station will be as
fine as any in the country. inferior
to none except in size. 1t will mark
the end of one Of the city's greatest
needs; 1t will be one of the most
important public Improvements made
here in recent years.
Cost Nearly $500,o0o
The union depot will be situated
between Third and Fifth avenues
directly on Harrison street, the main
body of the structure facing upon
Fourth avenue. 1t will be AIS feet
long. The building itself will cost
between 100000 and 100000, while
the cost Of the ground, putting in
the tracks, paving and similar addi-
tional expenses will bring the total
Improvement materially nearer the
million mark.
The station will be built and op-
Grated jointly by the Arizona East
ern and the Santa F'e railroads. II

will be erected on one general con-
tract covering all phases of con-
struction, under the direction of
general supervisor selected by the
two roads. Contractors throughout
the west, including many of the large
and firmly established local contrac-
tors, are expected TO enter bids.
Perhaps the most important fea-
ture of the station is the provision
being made in it for the city of the
future. The depot has been designed
so that ii will care for the needs of
a city twice-yes, even three times
the size Of Phoenix.
The station will be in effect two
story central structure with two
wings of one story, the second story
in the main part being in the form
of a mezzanine The east wing will
be occupied by an open arcade wait
ing room: the west by a large bag
gage and express room. BY the open
waiting room there is sufficient space
for the later addition Of more rooms.
To the west, ground will be left for
the erection of separate mail room
should the government find this nee
essary at any time in the future.
dig waiting hoon
Along the front, or north side Of the
building, will run an open arcade or
portico. Inside will be the main wait
ing room, 60x3S feet. In it will be
a large ticket office, one side entire
~ open, with counter.
Leading from the waiting room will
be woman's rest room and a mems
smoking room. There will be news
stand, lunch room, telegraph room
with public counter, an emergency
hospital, large baggage and express
rooms, and all the other features
common to a union station.
In appearance the depot will be one
of the most beautiful in the west or
will be entirely in mission style, of
steel and concrete construction with
exterior of plaster, peddle dashed.
The roof will be Of tile.
The interior of the structure will
be as attractive as the exterior. The
floors will be of quarry tile, with
partitions of hollow tile and con-
crete. Woodwork will be of quar-
tered white oak. The mems smok-
ing room will be finished in white
tile. The piping will be carried in
tunnels, and the building will be
steam heated.
The floors Of the arcade and open
waiting room will be Of brick, as will
be the train platform.
Six Tracks
Ample provision will be made in
the station for train facilities to meet
Arizona republican., 1922-01-01

any demands of the city's growth.
There will be six tracks, grouped in
pairs, with paved platforms between.
There also will be one spur for mail
cars and two private car spurs. In
addition. space is allowed for the
later adding of five more tracks.
Landscape gardening will be
brought into use for the station
grounds, though the space will be
limited. as much space will be left
for automobile parking.
Naturally, with the call for bids
expected daily-it would have come
sooner had not the holiday period
terVened-officials of the Santa F'e
and Arizona Eastern are giving much
time to the station plans. w. II.
Mohr, chief architect for the Santa
Fe coast lines, and ]. c. Mcclure,
assistant to the president of the Ari-
zona Eastern, are spending much
time in connection with the project,
which also is occupying the attention
of local officials.
Were all anxious to rush the sta
tion's construction" is the way c.
M. Scott, general manager of the
Arizona Eastern, expresses the rail-
road view.
Started Three Years Ago
The union station idea was launch
ed in December, 1919 when the cor
poration commission held hearing
on improving the depot facilities of
the city, admittedly much antiquated
for local needs. That was followed
by a period of discussion during
which the project gradually took
shape, until October l, 1920. when the
plans for the station were approved
by the commission when submitted
by the two roads. Difficulty in OBJ
tanning the site and other matters
caused further delay however, and
it was only on December 13, 1921.
when plans and specifications were
submitted to and approved by the
commission, preliminary to calling
for bids.
Now, however, every obstacle has
been removed and no time will be
lost in letting the contract. Railroad
officials will endeavor to have the
main structure up and the finishing
work we'll under way before hot
weather arrives, and hope to see the
depot in use within the year.
So it will not be long now until
Phoenix takes another forward step
in the completion of its first union
railroad station, one of the best in
the West.

not one man was injured in the work
which, taking into consideration the
size of the structure, was an ex-
ceptional performance. All steel and
cement material was first given a
strength test in order than no inferior
material should find its way into the
building.
The offices are all provided with
steam heat, compressed air, gas and
electricity and hot and cold running
water. Fire escapes have been in

regulations.
