East from the Columbia River Valley.
David Douglas, in 1928, on his first
visit to America. saw the plant in the
New York and Philadelphia nurseries.
He took back to England many cut
tings and soon this plant was a great
favorite, at first each one selling for
10 pounds.
On another visit to America Douglas
found the plant growing wild in Ore
gon-on the banks of the Multnomah
River (now the Willamette). He
gathered many seeds and sent them
home. BY 1887 the price of the plants
had dropped to shillings each.
Few evergreens have been so readily
established on British soil. There it
is used as a ground cover, for the
bushes are low and flourish under high
trees The English use it also for mid
Winter decorations, as the beautiful
holly-like leaves are usually ruddy
hued at this time, while in the Spring
they are deep glossy green.
In Oregon, too, the bronze and Grim

Is used for Christmas decorations.
In the Spring, the shrub is indeed a
wonderful sight. The small, tufted
mass of flowers is a bright yellowish

and the air is filled with the happy
roar of their wings, as they rush to

shrubs and another.

AN ALMOST DAILY VISITOR TO
THE PONDS OF PADDY THE
BEAVER WAS LONGLEGS THE
GREAT BLUE HERON.
Of Paddy the Beaver was Longlegs the
Great Blue Heron. Some people call
him a Crane, but he isn't Crane. He
would tell you that the Cranes are
another family altogether. Longlegs Is
we'll named, for his legs are long, very
long. So is his neck, and so is his bill.
When he is flying that long neck of
his is laid back on his shoulders, so
that he seems to have almost no neck
at all. At the same time his long legs
are carried straight out behind him.
When he alightS he drops those long
legs. Then his long neck is stretched
up for its full length and you realize
what a tall bird he Is.
He and Paddy the Beaver are old
friends. He has been in the habit
of visiting Paddy's pond ever since
Paddy made that pond by building
the big dam. You see, Longlegs now
and then gets a Frog there, or a
Fish, both of which are very well
come on his menu. But it is not
only for what he may get there that
he visits the pond it is the sort of a
place he likes. 1t is peaceful and
quiet, with trees all around. 1t is
delightful place to rest and doze, as
well as to look for food.
Longlegs had been interested when
he discovered that Mr.. and Mrs. Wood
Duck and Mr.. and Mrs. Quack were
spending the Summer there. They are
neighbors with whom he ordinarily Is
on very good terms. At first he didn't
think much about their staying. Then
suddenly it came to him that if they
were staying they must be nesting
there
THAT means that sooner or later

may be no concern of mine, yet it
might well be. I'm not much given to
making trouble for my feathered
neighbors, but must confess that

of fare, and I know of nothing that
will give me more pleasant change

.Ianier

THIS distinguished family is traced
to the early sixteenth century, to
Rouen, France, the old capital of Nor
mandy, where John Lanier, musician,
lived until the era of the religious
wars in that country. Seeking refuge
from prosecutions, he was forced to
leave his native land, and took up his
residence in England. It is recorded
that he possessed property in Crutched
Friars, parish of st. Olave, London,
and 1t is thought that he was the
father of John and Nicholas Lanier
(then spelled Lanyer), who were mu-
sicians in the court of Queen Eliza
beth in 1881.
The first of the American Laniers
came to this country with other
French -Huguenots by way of England
under patronage of the King. In
their native France they had been a
family of high social standing, pos
sessing considerable wealth, with many
large estates, most of which was con-
flscated by the state. They contrived,
however, to bring with them to Amer
lea some of their former possessions,
consisting of money and Jewels of
great value. The first Lanier to come
to America was John, who was in
Charles City County, Va, in 1910, and
from the time of 1876 his name Is fire.
quently found in public records of the
Old Dominion. John was fourth in
descent from the John of Rouen, men
toned.
Laniers have written their name in
delibly into the history of America.
Coming from long line of musicians,
poets, soldiers and statesmen, they
have gloriously upheld the family's
finest feelings and traditions. The
name Of Sidney Lanier of Georgia,
whose poems of nature and of the
Southland are renowned, is beloved by
all. HIS brother, Clifford, was also a
musician and poet of note.
Laniers are now living in various
States. Among the eminent present.

Arizona and to date has reached as
far North as British Columbia. The
last reports are that she is steadily
marching onward.
Somehow, the Oregon hollygrape
has learned to establish herself in 10
cations where the cedar rust spores
cannot reach her. Many of her
cousins have been the unwilling VIC
tins of this devastating pest of the
great wheat fields. They have COM
municated the spores back and forth
and millions of dollars worth of wheat
has been lost. But this canny bar
berry selects only such sites as will
make it practically impossible for the
insidious foe to reach her.
The hollygrape is not a climber, like
the common American wild grape, but
prefers to establish her record as a
wide, handsome shrub, whose berries
are eagerly sought by man, bird and
beast.

Bedtime Stories
Longlegs Is Admired

in reach, fear the temptation would
be more than I could resist"
So Longlegs the Heron knew when
Mrs. Wood Duck brought her big FAM
lily of IL little fluffy Ducklings to the
water and he knew when Mrs. Quack
the Mallard Duck brought her four.
After that he spent little more time
than usual at Paddy's pond. Always
while he was there he kept his eyes
open for baby Ducks swimming within
reach Of that long neck and long bill
of his.
Now, of course, both Mrs. Quack
and Mrs. Wood Duck were aware that
Longlegs was not to be trusted too
near their babies, so they were care
full never to take the Ducklings too
near where Longlegs might happen to
be. Later, when the children were
older. there would be no danger They
pointed Longlegs out to the youngsters
and warned them that they never
should swim near him.
Now, there was one of the wee Wood
Ducks who never could see Longlegs
without sitting still to admire him.
He just couldn't help it. He would
look at his own little short legs and
then he would look at those very long
legs and he would say: Il wish had
long legs like those. 1t must be Won
derful to be way up in the air like
that. He can see all around. I don't
see why We Ducks have such little
short legs. No, sir, don't. I think
Longlegs the Heron is the most Won
derful person I ever have seen. Such
wonderful long legs! Such a wonder
full long neck! Such a wonderful long
bill! Such wonderful broad wingsI I
wish were a Heron"
So the foolish little Duckling sat
and admired Longlegs the Heron ev-
cry time he had chance and forgot
his own advantages.

AS a stickler for form in the
