The Dudo War Upon sparrows

Of the great commonwealth OF Penn

"Thc Dude warfare upon the spar.
rows In n few years to come, when
the boys of to-day will be men, it will

letter upon the statute book. Here Is
what the farmers of Bcrks county
think upon the subject, and their
theory is correct beyond doubt.
READING, July ,,-Thc farmers in this
section now have startling theory for
the spread OF the Ilession fly and the
wheat worm in their grain. At the last
session Of the legislature an act was
passed empow, ring persons to destroy
the English spartows. These birds are
being slaughtered by the wholesale, and
the farmers say that the hys and worms
increase just in proportion as the spar
rows are killed. The latter, they say,
formerly destroyed the insects, but
now the bugs have full play among the
wheat.

THE 0. s. L. ROAD.
Its Construction Train Was to Reach
Naples To- Day-I'robablc Date Of the
Opening Of the Road to Traffic.

Mr.. Way, Superintendent of Con-
struction on the o. S. L., stated,
couple of days ago, that to-day, the
construction train would pull into the
town of Naples, the junction of the
Wood River railroad. This is appar-
emily definite, as the contract gives
them only until Monday, February 5,
to get there. But this, though an i'm
portant event, is not quite equivalent
to the railroad reaching there, as the
construction train is run in over
track spiked to only one-third of the
ties laid.
The construction train will be run
over the rails if on y three ties are laid
under each. Before the road is fit for
service Or for carving freight and
passengers the tracklayers must go
back and lay as many more ties and
spike them all securely. The dis
tance yet to be gone back over is
about 26 miles. At that distance
from Naples the "surface'' train is
met with. Up to this point the track
is completed from American Falls.
The surface train is running from
American Falls, where there are
large gravel deposits, and pulls doz-
en- cars loaded with gravel to the end
of the ballasted portion of the road.
The gravel is filed in between the
ties and tamped. To complete the
road this way 2G miles to Naples will
require about so days, and until this
is done the road will not be safe for
general business. At present the
freezing and thawing of the ground
renders slides such as that which oc-
cured on Monday last possible, and
also once before 90 miles further east.
On this account the Union Pacific
and O. S. L. management refuse to
take passengers or business over the
road until it is finished and ballasted
to Naples, and have so announced in
the papers and placards at all the
stations. At this rate the road will
not be ready for bushes before
March |.
At Naples several side tracks are
being built, and new buildings,
switches and turncuts being made.
This work will go forward and be fin
ished by the time the main line is
ballasted to Naples, and by March l
travel may be opened over the road
in connection with the stages to Hal
ley. The tracklayers will continue
coming up on the Wood River branch,
and if the weather remains favorable
the construction train will reach Hal
ley within 80 days, or by May1.

A STUDY IN NATURAL HISTORY.
Two Male Birds Feeding and Caring
for q Disabled Female.


On the 12-mile ranch, below Hal
ley, is study in natural history. The
objects of interest are three, not crows,
but blackbirds, and the information,
which is thoroughly reliable, shows
that last fall, when all the little black.
white and other birds made their an
nual fall migration southwark, some
spo'tive men shot and crippled a fe-
male blackbird, which was afterward
seen hopping around their cabin, I'M
able to fly. Soon after a large flock
OF blackbirds came over, going south,
and two male birds lit alongside the
little cripple, and were seen constantly
with it.
Since that time not another black
bird has been seen in the country.
The female bird cannot recover, and
is barely able to get about, but the
two male birds appear to feed and
care for it, and are seen there yet in
company with it. The birds are OBJ
jects of interest for mil around.

SEVERAL editors are racking their

sources Of our country are In the In

have hundreds Of millions OF
acres Of unsettled lands, and other
hundreds of millions of acres which
will support twenty times the popula.
ton which now subsists from them.
The overpopulation bugbear may
possibly frighten the fifth or sixth
generation yet to come, but
1t can be OF little interest to us Of TO-
day. When the time comes that the
population is greater than the re-
sources of our country will warrant,
the United States will probably fine

that In some portions Of Wyoming

per cent. on cattle, and 2 per cent. on
