Birdless World.

It is the testimony of the foremost
naturalist in France that If the world
were to become birdless man could not
inhabit it after nine years time, in
spite of all the sprays and poisons that
could be manufactured for the destruc-
ton of insects Object lessons In this
direction are seen summer after summer

GEOGRAPHY CHANGED

The examination of 0. P. Reed for
the defense WAS continued. In the
opinion of witness, to impound oil the
waters of the Rio Graude 125 miles
above Ell Paso and use them for irriga-
ton would have no effect on the navi-
gability of the Rio Grande. Cross ex-
amined, witness said the waters OF the
upper river played out before they got
to the navigable part.
had lately removed from Laredo to Ell
Paso. From 1889 10 1899 he lived at
Laredo: Nearly all these years were
years of drouth there. The people
were poor, the cattle died, and the
country along the river was for most
OF the time destitute of grass. Many
of the people moved away, and many
OF those who remained subsisted large
ly on charity. The flow of the river
of June, 1897, a small flood weakened
the international bridge at Laredo,
and the news of the big food at Ell
Psso caused a general fear at Laredo
that when the Ell Paso flood got there
it would wash away the bridge. But
the Ell Psso flood did not materialize in
sufficient quantity to prevent steady
decline of the river. For eight years
witness was quarantine officer at
times daily. Last June he went
to the city of Mexico as acting as
sistaut surgeon in the Marine hospital
service of the United States, on duty
in connection with the quarantine.
There was a flood at Laredo in the fall
of 1897. and in the spring and fall of
1898. Both floods in 1898 we're greater
than the spring flood of 1897, and the
flood of 1899 greater still.

THE TRIP THROUGH THE GRAND CAN

b. j: Ware, a real estate man from
Del Rio, was the next witness for the
defense. He has lived at Del Rio since
1881. He testified that on account of

years nearly every stream and spring

trip last October with Prof. r. L.
Hills party down the Rio Grande,
from the mouth of the Conohos river
down the big bend of the Rio Grande
and through the grand canyon. The |
party wanted to start from Ell Paso or
Fort Hancock, 81 miles below, But
they wired and found the Rio Grande |
was dry up here, so they started at the |
mouth of the Conchos river, where it
anites with the Rio Graude.
The party of six men with
three boats started October
from the Conohos. There
was no water in the bed of the Rio
Grande above the ConchOs at that time,
but enough water came down the Con-
chos to float them down. In some
places the river flowed through can
yons and In others through long
stretches of sand and gravel. The
party would have been stranded but
for another small flood that overlook
them.
They estimated the distance of each
travel. They reached Langtry,

Conchos, Oct. q. There the party
broke up, but Mr.. Ware later returned
there and continued his trip by boat

THE OPENING GAMES.
Webster Defeats Mellette
7 to a and 10 to IL.

The weather was most ~unfavorable
for good ball playing when the two
teams lined up upon the diamond for
the formal opening Of the season Thurs
day. 1t was windy and cool and the
patrons in the grand stand shivered
under overcoats and furs, while the
players labo red in vain TO get up a
perspir alton. Cox failed to keep his
promise to appear in the box for
Mellette, so they presented Denny Sui
livan OF Frankfort who pitched a very
acceptable game. O'Regan and Severns
were in the points for the locals and
while "Old PAGER" did not seek to owe
exert himself he displayed his form OF
last year by skillfully striking out two
batters in the fifth inning after the
bases were filed, repeating the trick in
the 7th and 9th innings when two bases
were occupied. The game was not
marked by any grand exhibition OF
skill, the local team resting content
with keeping the game well In hand.
Frary made q great catch of a fly ball
b acE of LIST base. Dalquist and Nc
Quillan led at the bat for Webster, the
formers hitting being exceptionally
good. For Mel!ette Gillian and Cheese
man at End and g.. s. put up a neat
gam e, but the feature OF their playing
was the batting and pitching OF Denny
Sullivan. The umpiring of r. W. Rey-
nolds wa s, as usual with him, very good.

FRIDAYS GAME.


A high wind interferred greatly with
the attendance and made the fielding OF
high flies rather difficult but the local
team played with more ginger than on
the day previous and each man had is
batting eye fixed up for the occasion.
If the boys can keep up the gait they
struck on this occasion they will make
many a pitcher feel weary before the
e OF is over. Denny Durrick was in
the box for Mellette, but his assortment
OF curves and drops Were not varied
enough to keep down the score. The
Mellette team did not put up as good a
game as on Thursday, while on the
other hand Webster put up a snappy
game of ball and but for an overthrow
would have shut their opponents out.
Da lquist pitched and had Mellette at
his mercy, repeatedly striking out their
heaviest batters. From the form he
displayed in the two games as batter.
fielder and pitcher, it was evident TO the
fans that Dalqaist is a valuable man to
around. Comiskey pulled down a
