~"'Tls .A DIRTY BIRD THAT WILL
- FOUL ITS OWN NEST."
' A few days ago, a promoter came
‘ into this office and remarked: “It's
a dirty bird that will foul its own
nest, isn't it, Mr. Golden." That is an
old saying, and a true one, he went On
to say, and unfortunately South Nor-
.walk is cursed with more than one of
this breed. *
It seems that a friend of his from
1- out of town came to South Norwalk
, for the purpose of looking into a
worthy industrial proposition with the
"idea of putting some money into it,
’ , but got no further than his hotel, when
he ran into the "dirty bird," who after
‘ greeting him as an old acquaintance.
. ,. masked what brought him to town. 0n
' ’ bein told, “dirty bird" threw both
Mhndsfi‘up and exclaimed, ”Don't put
8‘ dollar into that proposition, etc,
etc," which, of course, prevented any
, further investigation on the part of the
‘ prospective Investor.
I ‘ Now, as a matter of fact. the “dirty
'bird" in this particular instance is
-}‘ei,ther afoul or a knave, and proba-
‘bly based his opinion on conditions
, that existed so long ago that they are
obsolete; but in any case, can you
[imagine any sane man, so blind to the
.‘lnterests of his own town as to be will-
, ing to go out of his way to prevent the
' ‘flow of outside capital into it? isn't
., the money to be brought here from
‘ out oftown, and spent. hero? Doesn't
it mean wages for manufacturing
.' hands, for expressmen, for freight
, handlers? Doesn't it mean more pro-
‘; fit for business houses? Doesn’t it
help to make land values higher? Be»
cause a man doesn‘t think well of a
proposition that he knows little or
nothing about himself, In surely no
«reason why he should prevent anyone
else from inyestigating it. If this
particular}, concern should ,,prosper,
(and unless all signs fall, it will), the
"dirty bird" would feel rather cheap
,‘ to say the least of it, and it seems to
us only fair, that if a man cannot say
anything good, the least he can do is
. lobe neutral. There are plenty of
, towns holding out substantial induce-
‘ ments to manufacturers, In order to
encourage them to locate within their
borders, and we sincerely hope that it
will not be necessary for the concern
_ referred to in this article to avail it-
self of one of the many opportunities
' thus offered, on account of the short:
sighted policy ofour citizens, whose
duty it is to encourage home enfor-
"prlse in every possible way. It is “a
dirty bird that will foul its‘own nest."
{The promoter is right.

Quail seem to he plentiful but rather
young. The lateness of summer has
shown its effect on the birds as Well
as on the crops. Several coveys of
young birds were foundand one hunt-
er found a covey of birds so young
that they could not lift themselves off
the ground. The cock and hen, fasten
ing the covey, flew into a corn shock
and cried for the birds to run to shel-
ter. '
As soon as this hunter found out.
what his dogs were driving at he called
them off and left the covey. This

out by the old quail in the spring.

“With the new license law, careful.

puties and a display of true sports-

it is generally understood that the
hunters will shoot‘ all the chicken
hawks they can this year. One man
shot three yesterday and I shot one.
These hawks get into a covey of quail
and kill. five or six at a time and they
are as much an enemy to be contend-
ed with as the snares. The hunters
understand that selling and trapping
will come in for a share of the some
wardcn’s attention this season and that
will do a great deal to help the sport."
In the valleys there are to be seen
signs of frost but it is not had a very
great effect. Before October 15 and
perhaps not before November 1, un-
less cold weather comes on right away
no exceptionally good hunting may be
expected. Hunters who went out on the
first day of the season say that the
leaves have not been thicker in years
and they want very much to have the
opening of the season changed before

The best results are obtained by giv~

PRESIDENT AT CAIRO. ILLINOIS.
Entertained at Dinner On Board the
Steamer Alton.
CAIRO, 11)., Oct 3,——thn Presi-
dent Roosevelt stOpped ashore here at
9‘ o'clock today he manifested every
evidence of hiwing spent a comfortable
night on the. steamboat Mississippi,
and his spoken word confirmed the im—
pression made by his appearance.
There was little to disturb his rest ex-
cept two or three demonstrations on
the shore, which though violent while
they lasted, were of brief duration.
Quite as was the after half of the
night for the president, the first por-
tion of it was fully occupied. He was
the guest at dinner on the steamer
Alton, of the Business Men's League of
St. Louis, and wiih‘that entertainment
and the speeches making that follow-
ed the dinner, his time until almost 12
o‘clock was fully taken up. The din‘
nor was regarded by all us an event.
of rare occurrence, and when the pre
sidont had said his farewell, not a
few were heard to remark that it
would become historic. The important
feature was the fact that the scheme
of a ship channel from the Gulf to the
Lakes received an impetus which all
believed will do much towards insur-
lug the earnest pressing of that en-
terprise. The mansion was also pota-
ble in that in addition to the president
it was attended by no fewer than fit.
teen governors, the members of the
inland Waterways Commissi0n and by
several Illinois representatives of the
business world of St. Louis.
Dinner was presided over by Preslo
dent Smith, of the Business Men's
League and President Roosevelt was
the principal speaker. He requested
that his speech not be reported, but
consented that the statement might be
made that he had announced unequivo
cally his endorsement of the general
principle Involved in the scheme for the
creation of a ship channel up the river
and to the Great Lakes.
He would have a loop in the Bulk at
New Orleans that. would practically
create an arm of that body of water
to the Lakes. However, he was care-
ful to say that he would not give his
meant to any particular scheme of im-
provement. He also pointed out many
of the obstacles of carrying into effect
any plan of such vast proportions and
involving much expense and, while pro-
misig all the assistance he could give,
said the only way to make success cer-
tain was to so thoroughly prepare
them-selves as to render their argu-
ments ununswerablo.
The speech was greeted with pro-
longed applause and this endorsement
took the shape of words when Gover-
nor Folk, Governor Deneen and Gover-
nor Blcnchard spoke in favor of the
enterprise. The president was present-
ed with an oil painting of a section of
the Mississippi river under present
conditions and the companion piece
to represent "Conditions after the com-
pletion of the waterway" was promised
for the future.
During the night there were demon-
strations as the presidential boat pas-
sed Cape Girardenu and Grand Tower,
but they came too late to receive re-
cognition from the president. The
Mississippi was escorted down the ri-
ver by ten other boats, and it was
met early today by a huge excursion
steamer from this city.
A WARM GAME LOOKED FOR.
The contest at Amusement Park
next Saturday between the Stamfords
and Norrmlks will no doubt prove a
bummer. Each team has now won
four games. and they will fight ham-
mer and tongs to break the tie. The
visitors will have in their lineup,
among the regulars, O’Rourke, Odell.
Yale and Downer. The local lineup
will probably be the same as in the
game at Dauhury. with the exception
that McGrutll will be In the box.

kets. ‘ .
The Republican caucus will be held
tonight at the Town Assembly Hall in
Wall street. while the Democratic
convention will be held tomorrow
night at the Town Court room in the
same building. -
So far as the head of the ticket is
concerned the Republicans are entirely
at sea, and there is a chance for most
any “dark horse" who will work up a
canvas. . .
It is definitely settled that Mayor
Dunn will be renomlnated by the Dem-t
ocrats and that he will put up a hard
fight is certain. Candidates will op-
pose hlm with considerable trepida-
tion, for he has had a good record dur-
ing his first year, just closing.
All of the Republican members of
the City Council will undoubtedly be
renomlnuted tonight, with the excep- ‘
tion of Councilman David F. Gould,
who now resides outside of the city
limits. The three who are to be re-
nominnted are Charles H. Dllworth,
Clarence Buttery and Charles A. Sco-
llcld. It Is expected that the other
three candidates to be nominated are
Thomas A. Skelly, William 1. Lock-
wood and Irving C. Bylngtoa. Mr.
Skelly ran last year and made a good
fight for a newcomer and Mr. Bying-
ton has many friends who will work
for his success. Mr. Lockwood has a
good record of several years on the
Council.
All of the membersloi the City Conn-r-
cll are willing to stand outhcir rec-l
ords, for they have accomplished some
very good work. Charles H. Dllworth
can point with pride to another of his
accomplishments. For instance, the
rebuilding of the Millpond depot is due
to his persistency. Sporadic efforts.
covering several years had been made
to change conditions without result.
But Mr. Dilworth kept right on the
job. He kept writing letters to the
company and makin rculls on the (Jill:
ciais until they row rded him by dad
log the job up in good shape. Mr.
Dilworth was also Iri‘strumentul in the
bond issue for the sewers, whereby in-
stead of a direct tax for $2,000 worth
of work as authorized by a city [nest-
log, the other method was pursued,
and incidentally many more sewers are
being built. His policy has also been..
as clmirman of the lights department.:
to install many small Burpstein incan»
descent lights about the city. He has
kept after the telephone and electric
light, company about superfluous poles
and the condition of all poles. Mr.
Dilworth was a hard worker for street
sprinkling, though the project fell
through.
Councilman Buttery has been a hard
worker as head of the sewer depart-
ment and the city has never had a
more consistent chairman of this de-
partment. Mr. Buttery is new super-
intending the building of about $30,-
000 worth of new sewers under con-
struction in the city.
Councilman Sconeld’s popularity
throughout the city is well-known.
Mayor Dann made agood‘ choice when
he placed him at the head of the police

ed this department with great fair-
ness.

that he has been on the job. To Mr.
