Do NOT KILL THEM. ' BIRDS THAT ARE REAL AIDS TO FARM- ERS AND GARDENERS. The Harm They Do Is Small Compared to the Good They AccomplishaEven the Much Abused Hawk and Owl Render ~Valuable Service and Do Slight Harm- “No decent person who knows the value of birds that sing, whether their ‘notes be harsh or sweet voiced, will» ever kill a singing bird, ” said a natu- ralist. “Thousands of birds that are of inestimable value to the farmer as well as to the town dweller Who grows fruit or keeps a garden are slaughtered ruth- lessly every year. “The farmer, the gardener and the fruit grower should know more about the birds that nest and sing and flit about their premises, for then they would defend and protect them and in time have them back in something. like their old time numbers and variety. How often nowadays does one see the saucy, rich voiced, nervous little wren? A few years ago it was seen and heard everywhere, but it must be a favored lo- cality that it visits now. Yet the little wren was a most ravenous devourer of the pestiferous and destructive cutworm of the gardens and did great work to- ward lessening the damage done by the pest of the soil. The bright little blue- bird clears the air and the ground of thousands of codlin moths and canker- .Worms during a season. f ‘The crew blackbird has no peace a ‘ the hands of man, yet a flock of them in a short time will clear anewly plant- ed field of all its hosts of destructive larvae that the plow turns up. The great American crow itself would do the same 5 thing if it wasn’t for the inevitable man with a gun that just wants the crew to try it once. Neither the blackbird nor the crow cares as much for corn as it does for grubs, and if farmers would scatter corn about their fields instead of putting up scurecrows and the like those misunderstood birds would never pull up a hill of his planting. The chances are anyhow that if the agriculturist will - take the trouble to examine a hill of young corn that he charges the crew with pulling up he will find that it was , cut off byagrub of some kind, and that the crowwas simply mining for the grub, not the corn. “The robin, it cannot be denied, is a , sore trial to the man who has fruit trees and bushes, but if he could only . bring himself to‘ stop and think how many thousands of ravaging insects that are the especial enemies of his trees and bushes that the robin destroys, both be- ‘ fore the fruit has ripened and for weeks after it is gone, he would not begrudge the bird the few quarts of cherries or berries that it levies on- as partial satis- faction of the debt the grower owes him. The same may be said of the other thrushes—for the robin is a thrush—— the cherry birds, orioles, blue jays and many other birds of that class. These birds never levy tribute on grain or seeds, but they do the farmer untold benefit. “The climbing birds are the different varieties of woodpeckers, and they are constantly befriending growing things. Whenever a woodpecker is heard tap- ping on a tree, it is the deathknell of the larvae of some destructive insect. Yet it is not an uncommon thing to see the very person for whom this bird is industriously at work following with his gun the bird’s red head frOm tree to tree until the opportunity comes for him to send a load of shot into the un- suspecting feathered philanthropist. It is a 'pet belief among farmers that the woodpecker kills the tree it works on, and that he is working for that very purpose. It is a fact that the common little sapsucker does injure trees, but the woodpecker never does. Quite the contrary. The white breasted nut hatch and the little gray creeper—so general- ly confounded with the. sapsu'cker—live exclusively on tree insects, yet the nut hatch is in bad re‘pute- among many farmers because they believe it kills their bees. “The meadow lurk is another bird that has little peace on any one’s land, for there is a mistaken notion abroad that he is a game bird. He is game in the quality of' being alert and hard to“ get a shot at, but is no more entitled to be so classified than the flicker or high- holder is. The meadow lurk is a con- stant feeder on underground larvae, and whatever he is disturbed he is simply driven away from active work in rid- ding the ground of the worst kinds of farm pests. The blue jay may be said to be indirectly an enemy to the farmer as well as a friend, for it has the bad ‘ habit of destroying the eggs of other birds that'do only good. “If there is one bird that the farmer loves to do all in his power to extermi- nate more than he does the crow, unless it may be the hawk, that bird is the owl. He can’t be brought to the belief that if it were not for. the owls and the hawks his fields would be overrun and burrowed by field mice to such an ex- tent that his crops would be in per- petual danger; that owls, while out mousing, feed on' myriads of night fly- - ing moths and beetles, thus preventing the laying of millions upon millions of the eggs of these insects, and that they not only keep the field mice down, but lessen the number of domestic mice and rats about barns and outbouses to an extent'that a small army of the most vigilant cats could not surpass; As to the hawk, the farmer remembers that on some occasion one carried'cfl" a chick- en for him, and therefore the fact that the big soaring bird daily kills many ' field mice, grasshoppers, snakes, lizards, beetles and other vermin cannot be set up in its defense. The proportion of hawks or owls that hill chickens is small compared with those who keep down the deadly enemies of the farm- er’s crops. ”—Exchange.

Comparative Peace Reigns Once More on the Pacific Coast. TRAIN WEEGKING OUTRAGB. A Leader of the A. R. U. Declares That Bis Order I-lari Nothing to Do \Vith It and Condemns It In Unmeasured Tex-ms —0tlier Strike Notes. SACRAMENTO, July 13.—Thc first train containing 'Pul-lmans in two weeks left guard of United States troops, but it had proceeded scarcely three miles when the journey came too. shocking end. A loosen- ed rail and some criminally loosened tim- bers, 'the work of worse than murderers, sent it crashing'over the side of a trestle into a slough. The tender and two mail cars followed the ill fated locomotive in its wild plunge. The engine that hauled the first train out lies on its back in the slough by the side of a broken bridge, with three of the cars that made up the train. Under the water lie the bodies of the engineer who held the throttle and three of the regulars who were guarding him. Immediately after the accident Deputy Edwards made a. hurried count of his men and found that three were missing. One of these, Private Clarke, they know to have been drowned. The awful truth then dawnedon the sur- vivors that two men were buried beneath ! the wreckage along with the unfortunate I Sam Clarke, the engineer. Four men 5 were injured. and one of them, Wesley Dugan, also‘a private in Battery LU Fifth 2 United States artillery, suffered terribly until death relieved him. He was on the tender of the engine and was thrown to the shore of tho slough. One of his arms , was torn from the socket and broker; in three places, and his jaw was also broken. His comrades went to the assistance of Du- , gun, and when they attempted to grasp 3 him by the arm they were shocked to find I it had been torn from his body. Another I soldier crawled out of the water from be- [ ‘neath the submerged tender unlxurt. Engi- neer Clarke must have staid at his post to 3 the last. , _ The cab is completely buried in the mud, g as the engine lies upside down. How tho i fireman escaped is a miracle, as he jumped i from the left hand side of the engine and I landed on the trestle. i Soldiers Imbittered Against Strikers. ' The trestle is a complete wreck, and the I ties are ground to toothpicks. The loco- ! motive turned a complete somersault. The scene of the wreck is a little over two miles from Sacramento. The railroad men speak Of the place as trestle No. 2. It was well selected for a disaster. The loosened rail was just at the end of the bridge, and the movement of any heavy train could not fail to hurl a great part of it into destruction. The effect of the out- rage has been to make the soldiers desper- ately bitter against the strikers. Where they would have fired with reluctance they will now fire with pleasure. Officers have found the tools which were used in causing the train wreck and claim to know who the parties are who hid them. The regulars—many of them—claim that General Superintendent Fillmore as- sured General Graham that the road had been carefully gone over, and further de- clared that he knew the strikers would not resort to any desperate measures to win the strike. It was not until he as sured General Graham of the good condi- tion of the road that the latter consented to send his men to assist the train to San Francisco. Outrage Condemned by Strike Leaders. Harry Knox, the leader of the strikers, has issued the following: . I desire to state in behalf of the A. R. connection with the ditching of the train between Sacramento and Davisville this afternoon, in which several people lost their lives. We condemn this act as outrageous and barbarous and entirely contrary to the spirit -of the A. R. U., which is engaged in an honorable struggle in the interest of labor and is opposed to violence or the sacrifice of human life. This act was done by sympathizers, and we regret it the more as it is calculated to injure rather than help us. We‘sincercly trust that this first act of violence will be the last. ‘ Private Dougan of Battery L. Fifth in- fantry, has died, making the fifth victim of yesterday’s railroad wreck at the trestle. Reward For Train \Vreckers’ Conviction. SAN FRANCISCO, July 13. ——The‘ United States authorities say that the wires be- tween Sacramento and San Francisco have been tapped and instructions from Washington to federal officials here given to the leaders of the strike. Hereafter all government messages by telegraph will be in cipher. The two light batteries of the Fifth United States artillery under Major Mc- Kenzie, now under marching orders at the presidio, expects to .be summoned to Sacra- mento tomorrow. The combined batteries number 158 men. If they are called on, they will take with them the long range hotchkiss guns. A Washington dispatch says: “The at- torney general has offered a reward of $500 each or $2, 000 in all for testimony which will lead to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons concerned in the wreck at Sacramento last night which re- sulted in the almost immediate death of Engineer Clarke and three regular United States soldiers. The reward is $500 for conviction of the murderer of each person killed ” - The situation in northern Californl presents no new features. No trains were running at Oakland or Sacramento. At Oakland the strikers continued unruly during the night. Early this morning the roundhouse on the Oakland Mole was raid- ed and several locomotives damaged and machinery put out of condition. There was no serious outbreak, however. . Union Pacific Branch In Trouble. SPOKANE, Wash, July 13.—-All rail communication with the Coeur d’Alenes is broken.

'ministration of the Country. _ LONDON. July 13.-—A dispatch - to 'The Times today from Seoul, the capital . 0. Korea, says: : A conference of foreign representatives was held today and proposed the neutrali zation of Korean treaty ports. The Jap- anese minister accepted the principle of the proposition so far as Chemulpo was concerned, but reserved his answer of this question in regard to the other ports pend— ing instructions from his government in Tokyo. Later, the king yielding, the J ap- anese government appointed three com- missioners to discuss the internal admin. istration of the country. The conditions imposed by the Japanese government in regard to the neutraliza- tion of the port of Chemulpo virtually nullify the concession, as Japan still in- sists upon retaining trOops within the set- tlement. The foreign representatives have reminded the Japanese government that their joint note recently sent to Japan re- questing the withdrawal of troops still re- mains unanswered. DR. BURTSELL‘S RETURN.
