The Purple Martin.

What boy in all the land does
not admire the purple MARTINI 1t
is one of the most familiar and con
fiding of our summer visitants. 1t
comes to us from the far South in
early spring, each pair, doubtless,
returning to the same box or nest
ing place that it occupied the pre-
vious year. 1t likes TO build in
colonies near the home of man, and
takes readily to any box or house
provided for it, either on pole or
at the caves of the farm buildings
Like the bee martin, this bird is a
defender of the poultry yard, and
does not hesitate to attack every
passing hawk, crow, or other bird
whose presence it does not tolerate
about the farm-yard.
Each pair OF martins raises
brood of four or five young, and
always one, and sometimes two
broods each season. Hence, the
species makes rapid increase and
It's summer colonies are numerous
over ali the county. The martin
is not a troublesome bird. 1t docs
not take fruit or grain, or in any
way modest the crops, either of the
garden, orchard or field. 1t is en-
tilely insectivorous, and colony
of several pairs of martins will de-
stroy perhaps millions of insects in
the course of one summer. 1t is a
wide forager, and takes insects OF
many species, ranging from the air
high over our heads, to the water,
the meadow, the field, the forest,
and the ground. Bugs, moths,
worms, beetles, caterpillars, larvae
of all sorts are captured by it..
And If one desires to make an esti-
mate of the work the martin does
for man, let him note how many in
sects one pair of martins will bring
10 their young during one hour.
They seem ever at work, and it is
astonishing where they find so
many insects to capture. Probably
they could not succeed so well but
for the wide range of their forag-
ing ground And probably no bird
among all our bird friends captur-
es so many insects as does the pur-
pie martin. A colony Of martins
about farm is worth many dollars
to the owner, in the destruction Of
insects.
Unfortunately for ne, perhaps,
the martin has great liking for
the mosquito hawk, large numbers
of which it takes to feed its vora-
cious young. The mosquito hawk
is one of our useful predaceous in
sects. that we could wish the birds
to spare to us. But for this trait,
there would be little to lay to the
charge of the otherwise eminently
serviceable purple martin. We
will have to put up with this, for
the martin is too useful a bird to
Danish from us.-Exchange.

The War In Canada.

The results Of the recent prohibition
battle in Western Canada were n sur
prise both TO the friends and foes Of
temperance. The large vote polled
against the whisky abomination
brought joy to the temperance leaders.
IL also brought CONSERVATION into
the camp Of the enemy. When a great
commercial center like Toronto votes
for prohibition It furnishes some
thing to rejoice over. Other cities
did nearly as we'll The vote was in
the nature Of referendum. While
the prohibition majority was not
sufficient to carry the measure into
immediate effect it showed remark
able growth Of prohibition sentiment,
and is an index finger pointing direct.
ly toward the doom Of the barroom.
We rejoice with our friends yonder
over this well fought battle. Our
well-wishes and prayers will 20 with
them as they shall again buckle on

EFFECTS OF THE FLOOD
ia ckson County Bridges being
Slowly Repaired

The damage done to the Bybee
bridge across Rogue river by the
late high water has been temporarily
repaired and the bridge is again open
for traffic. Permanent repairs will
be made as soon as the weather set
ties so that the work can be done.
The free ferry on upper Rogue river
will also be restored to its place as
soon as possible. The boat is a
couple of miles down the river from
its proper Locations and it will be
something Of a job to get il back.
Commissioner Riley will have this
work in charge, which is an assurance
that the job will be done about right.
Arrangement are being made 10 re-.
pair the bridge across Bear creek
near Central Point, but proper mater
ial cannot be had just at present As
soon as the roads become solid enough
for hauling the material, the work
will be pushed. In the meantime the
creek can be easily forded, and travel
vii not bo interrupted unless another
freshet occurs. The damage 70 county
bridges, etc, by the food will foot
up to several thousand dollars, and
would probably have becn more were
it not for the substantial character
Of the structures spanning the streams
