By LILLIAN cox ATHEY,

Now here is an interesting bird.
It is known in some of its chosen
haunts as the shag, lawyer, crow
duck or water turkey.
There are few birds in its class so
clever at diving or so swift in SWIM
ming. In many places sportsmen
have complained that the cormorant
beat them to the finest fish, but
being sportsmen. they admit the
best angler is entitled to the finest
catch.
Bird lovers always rejoice when
they learn that interesting birds
may be observed in their natural
surroundings. Cormorants are to
be found in marshes, islands. rocky
coasts, cypress swamps. cliffs over
looking wide expanses of water and
in other such suitable locations
Thus since North America is its
range. you may reasonably add the
double crested coTmorant to your
list of birds to visit" and feel con-
fident the time, place and bird will
some day be yours.
There is a flou.'islling co'ony of
cormorants in Eastern North Caro-
lima. Big Lake offers low-spread-
ing cypress trees. Here the birds
Evening star., 1938-12-08

can find the clutch of pale BLUSH
white eggs, overlaid with a coat of
chalk, in each cradle On rare oc-
casions four eggs have been found
but this is not often.
Only in the sight of the devoted
parents would the infants be called
beautiful. When born they ere
naked and very dark. Their wide
"red flannel" lined mouths open at
the least jarring of the nest. Their
necks seem to be made of rubber
as they sway back and forth, blindly
hoping something in the way Of food
will drop into the deep caverns they
offer.
Those who have had experience,
both pleasant and otherwise, in
visiting young cormorants, assert
that eels seem to be the chief in
FAINT food. They are fed other fish
later on. The baby is fed by the
regurgitation method. thrusting its
bill as fer down the throat of the
parent as possible. since there is no
muscular contraction for swallow
ing.
The adult cormorant is 3 feet
long and black in color. There is
nothing handsome about these birds.
They are rather gluttonous in food
habits, awkward in their movements
and harsh in their conversation.
We are such ardent fishermen
ourselves We have not used the COR
morant to do our fishing for us as
have people in Europe. In China,
the fisherman would perch his cor
morant assistant on the brow of the
Evening star., 1938-12-08

boat and sail forth. At his bidding
the bird would drop into the water
and get a fish. A strap fastened
about the birds neck assured the
Chinaman his fish. When the ca
pacious throat basket of the under
water fisherman is filled, the cor
morant comes to the surface and
disgorges. A fine fish is then given
1t to inspire another trip t6 the
fishing ground below.

night, Jerry 0'Connell brilliantly
covered national issues and candid
ly placed himself and his ideas be-
fore the people. His talk can have
no other effect than to place every
one of his opponents in a position
where they must declare them

to cover. The people are demand

BASIN COMET MINE
IN LITTLE TROUBLE

Ed O'Byrne, labor commissioner,
was a visitor in Butte Wednesday
in the interests of his department.
While here he checked on reports
that have come to him of violations
of labor laws. He has also been
meeting with the relief committee
of the Miners Union and representa-
tives of the Silver Bow County Milk
Dealers Association with the object
of attempting to get the Association
to agree to some sort of scheme
whereby the surplus milk produced
in the county could be procured by
the County Relief Commission for
disposition to relief clients. He says
he is hopeful that satisfactory agree
ment can be arranged which will
permit the children of relief families
to get the surplus milk.
He also mentioned that he had
been called into consultation by Off
GERS and members of the Basin
Miners Union with reference to an
alleged unsafe practice at the Comet
mine. The complaint alleged that
since the Comet mine ceased opera
tons that one pump man has been
employed on each of the two eight
hour shifts. This man is compelled
to climb to the five and seven hun
dred foot levels where the pumps are
located to get to his work and to
climb out of the mine when his shift
is finished. 1t was further alleged
that this pump man had to climb
through slopes or over raises which
made it extremely unsafe. MI.
O'Byrne stated he Immediately wired
Mr.. Ben Henry at Helena and in
formed him of these conditions and
requested that he make an investi-
cation.

CLAIM VICTORY

Supporters of Congressman Jerry
J. O'Connell, who is a candidate for
reelection to Congress from the
First Montana District, insist their
candidate will win the nomination
by a wide majority at the primary
election on July 10. They base their
claim on the enthusiastic reception
accorded Congressman O'Connell in
his speaking tour which has taken
him into every one of the seventeen
counties comprising the First Con-
g%ressional District.
Pointing to his record as a public
official in the State Legislature, as
a Railroad and Public Service Com
missioner, and for the past term as
representative, the liberal and pro-
gressive forces backing O'Connell
insist that none of his opponents
have advanced even one good reason
why he should be replaced.
Labor unions, members of the
Farmers Union, Liberals, Progress
sives, small business men and indie
pendent professional men adhere to
the O'Connell banner because of his
exceptional record of accomplish
ment as a first term Congressman
during which time nationally famous
Liberal leaders and publications
throughout the nation hail him as
one of the outstanding members of
the 18th Congress.
