Eighty Bird Refugees.
(Copyright, 1929

The number Of wild life reservations
established by this country has now
reached 80, the last one being the
Tule Lake Refuge in Northwestern
California. The new refuge consists Of
10000 acres of Government lands In
northeastern Siskiyou County, within
the klamath irrigation project. These
lands are flooded to considerable ex-
tent by waste water and thus form an
excellent waterfowl resort.
Tule Lake has long been the mecca
for such wild fowl as the mallard, red
head, rudy duck, cinnamon teal,
avocet, silt and other short birds. It
also is favorite wintering ground for
the cackling goose, bird that breeds
on the northwest coast Of Alaska.
1t is further stated that because of
the encroachment of industrial and
agricultural development the wild fowl
have in many areas throughout the
United States lost their former homes
and stopping places, and that the Gov
eminent in its obligations under the
migratory bird treaty with Great Britain
is steadily working for the re-estab-
liShment of suitable water areas so that
the wild fowl may regain something
of what they have lost. The setting
aside of such areas strategically located
along the principal lines of migrations
will probably do more for the future
welfare of the wild fowl than any other
one measure.

did I understand you to say that
you know a lot of Old Man Coyote
relatives?" inquired Peter.
Perhaps shouldn't say that know
them, but I have seen them often" re-
piled Wanderer. Coyotes are quite as
common out in some parts of the West
as foxes are around here in the East. y
Peter thought this over for moment
or two. I'm glad they don't live
around here" said he. "Old Man
Coyote and Mrs. Coyote are quite
enough"
Il don't understand" said Wanderer,
chow they happen to be here"
oh" replied Peter, they were
caught out West by men and brought
on here. Then they were lucky. enough
to escape. They are some hunters. II
was bad enough when there was only
Reddv Fox and Old Granny Fox and
Mrs. Reddy. but it is worse now. How
long did It take you to get here from
your Summer home? Did you travel
as fast as Honker the GooSe?"
Wanderer chuckled. He was always
chuckling. He held out one wing.
Does that look as II could travel
like Honker the Goose?" he demanded.
IT couldn't say" replied Peter. II
don't know much about wings"
WELL" replied Wanderer good ma
turedly, I'VE took our time making the
long Journey and we shall take our time
going back. The way we do is just
move along from one good feeding place
to another. The only way to get any
thing out of travelling Is to do 1t easily.
Then you can see things"
"I know" replied Peter sagely. When
I am running very fast, cannot see
much. have to give all my attention
to where am going. You must be &C
uuainted with lot Of people we never
meet down here"
81 suppose am" said Wanderer.
"Have YOU ever seen Howler the Wolf.
the big cousin of Old Man Coyote?"
asked Peter.
"Often," replied Wanderer "You
ought to be glad that Howler doesn't
live around here"
st am" said Peter. 81 have troubles
enough as it is. Is Howler as fierce as
/ have heard tell?"
Eyes," replied Wanderer. He Is big
and he is very smart, and everybody is
afraid of him."
II wish"-said Peter, then stopped.

"That you would tell me about Howler

Mortality Among Fish.

Not long ago the aquarium in New
York suffered a loss Of 400 specimens
and the authorities were considerably
alarmed. The attendants were puzzled
when the eyes of fish began swelling
and eventually specimens died by the
score. The disease, apparently caused
by some hitherto unsupported bacillus,
first became apparent after the return
of an expedition to Southern waters,
but no significance was suspected In
this coincidence until after a recent
return trip to Key West. Then the
officials decided that the tanks must
have been infected by Florida water.
Bay water, containing less salt, was
substituted, although it is rather oily.
Presently the disease was stamped out,
fresh deep-sea water was brought In
and health at the aquarium Is normal

way up where our Summer home is"
Peter understood that. He knew that
that was one reason why most of the
feathered people who are his naighbors
in Summer go away down South in the
Winter. He knew that this was the
reason why Dotty the Tree Sparrow
and Slaty the Junco and Snowflake the
Snow Bunting and Shipper the Cross
bill and Piny the Pine GroSbeak, cousin
to Wanderer, come down from the North
each Winter. But of all these Winter
acquaintance, not one was a traveller
In two directions. All came straight
down from the North. But Mr.. and
Mrs. wanderer said they had come
from the West as well as from the
North. The West was where Old Man
Coyote had come from.

u. S. SENATE COALITION
ATTEMPTS In VAIN TO
REDUCE CARBIDE TARIFF
Senator Oddie Takes Up Cudgel for State,
Stating Reduction Would Keep Union Car
bide Company Out of Nevada; Boulder
Dam Power Angle Is Discussed by Scion

WASHINGTON, Oct. %, W.R) The
Democra tic Western Republican CO.
alition movement to reduce the rates
in the Hawley-Smoot tariff bill
was checked in the Senate today
when it was defeated AZ to 81. In
it was an attempt to reduce the
duty on calcium carbide.
1t was the first defeat suffered
by the coalition since the rates were
taken up in the Senate, and leaders
announced they would seek another
vote on the issue later.
Regular Republicans aided by l3
Democrats, voted to retain the
present duty of one cent a pound on
the product in spite of the charge
by Senator Norris, Nebraska Re-
publican, that it was protection for
the power trust"
"Power Trust Hand" Seen
The coalition sought to reduce the
duty to one-half cent pound.
Norris led the opposition to the
one cent duty He declared one Of
the chief costs in the production Of
the article is electrical power, which
the power trust" has contended in
the past is cheaper in this country
than anywhere else.
The power trust does not come
into this" Senator Oddie, Nevada
Republican, replied to Norris.
Oddie Takes Floor
He argued against the one-hali
cent rate, declaring it would keep
the Union Carbide Company out OF
Nevada. He said he wanted the
company to come into Nevada and
develop power from Boulder Dam.
otherwise. he explained, the state
would have to buy its power from
Pacific Coast companies who would
develop Boulder Dam power under
the arrangement of Secretary OF the
Interior Wilbur.
Oddie said Nevada wants one
third of the power generated az
Boulder Dam. The state is given
13 per cent in Wilbur's proposed al
location. He explained the state
had invited outside corporations
there on the strength of its eXpec-
tationS.
With this issue disposed of, the
Senate began debate on the amend
ment to increase the duty from
casein from 21a to 3ia cents a
pound.

Girl Testihes
Accusations of
Pantages False
Miss PringIe Returns to Wit

Ends Own Defense, Re-
peats Original Story.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. % UR)-
Eunice Prinele returned to the wit
ness stand in the trial of Alexan-
der Pantages today for rebuttal
testimony and with schoolgirl sim
plicity denied all the showman'S
accusations that it was she who
was the aggressor in his secluded
conference room.
The 17-yead-old dancer uttered
soft-spoken denials as District At
torney Fits asked if she had made
certain compromising moves as
Pantages testified she had done
when he described her actions on
the afternoon she claims he at
tackled her.
Miss Pringle. did you grab Mr..
Pantages by the necktie?" Fits
asked,
mo, Sir" the girl answered.
Did you slam the door OF the
rccm shut?"
mo, sir. r. PantageS did
Did he push you out of the
little room?"
mo, sir"
"Wnen you went in that room
he asked you What dc you want,
and did you reply You know what
I want?'"
mo sir!'' came the emphatic
denial.
In those questions were contain
ed Pantages' story of what happen
ed-the one that the jury must
match against the girls accusa-
ton that the millionaire lured her
to the little room to discuss book
ings fer her act on his circuit ana
then consumated an attack.
The theatre man testified that
the girl persistently hung about
his office after he told her that
he did not want her act and that
finally she approached him in the
hallway and was granted private
interview. They no sooner had en-
tered the room than she tore at
his clothes and screamed, making
it necessary for him to force her
from the room.
Miss Pringle denied also that she
was accompanied by Nicholas Dun
aev, author of her act, or any
other person when she entered the
theatre building last August g. She
denied she said IF he doesn't
beck me he will be sorry as long
as he lives
Pantages finished his testimony
inst after neon today and when
he stepped from the stand his
testimony had not been shaken on
anv material point. The defense
closed its case with his testimony.
