tie ownership of TIE Island, and was,
of course, given all the information he
desired. During the afternoon Mr..
Stone settled upon a price for the is
land and told the government agent
that Uncle Sam could have it for $500.
but the price did not seem sufficiently
attractive to the government, for a
long delay took place before a bargain
was made. Finally, on May II, 1901
the island was sold by Mr.. Stone to
the United States government and the
sum paid was 1925. quite a reduction
from the original figures of the own
er, although he was doubling his o
ey on the transaction.
During the time that the island re-
manned in the hands of private citi-
Gems it was used as a part of the farm
of the owner and each spring it was
plowed. planted and taken care of
the same as any farm land. The farm
ers owning it usually went to the is
land in old-fashioned scows, taking
with them a pair Of cattle to do the
blowing with, and remained upon the
island until the planting was com
pleted. There was an old house that
stood on the island for upward of a
hundred years that was used by the
farmers to live in during the time
they were tending their crops. The
land was always fertile and the four
acres yielded a good harvest to the
owners. The cattle and horses taken
to the island often exhibited strong
desires to get ashore when their own.
ers had left.
An instance was told the writer by
4 an old man in Guilford of n owner
of the island who went there one
| spring with his yoke of oxen and a
horse to do his usual planting, and
instead of remaining there over night
he decided to 90 ashore at Guilford
expecting to return in the morning
and continue his work. When he
started for the island early the next
morning he found the horse standing
on Half Acre rock in Guilford harbor
the animal having swum ashore dur
ing the night. Upon arriving at Faux
ner's island he found both oxen miss

three animals had started for the

lands. called by the English Falcon
island and by the Indians Messan-

classed until 1877 with the undivided
lands Of the town and got Its name
from the birds which freQuented the
place. The tree under which tho
meeting was held and the agreement
ratified still stands, and is shown in

FISH DESTROYING BIRDS.

Mr.. s. E. Land, formerly assistant
commissioner at the state fish hatch
cry, takes strong exception to the
theory of Prof. Lawrence Bruner and
others in relation to the fish destroy
ing birds. In a recent issue of the Cen.
tennial Post Mr.. Land says:
1.-THE part these aquatic birds play in
relation to state fish culture in the
matter of economy are their fish de-
stroying habits, which are significant.
In the first place their flesh is unit for
food, they are mo- a game bird and are
not insect d~estroyers, neither are they
noted for beauty or song and there is
little reason why they should be pro
tected by the game laws. The atten-
ton that these birds should receive by
man, is that they should be destroyed
in order that hundreds of trout should
be saved annually. When civilized
man took possession of the state Of
eighty, he found that there existed not
a single trout naturally in any Of the
streams in southern. midle and east
ern Wyoming. In the last decade legis.
lation has made fish culture possible.
and these beautiful streams have been
stocked with every variety of trout.
Their culture is now beyond the ex-
perimental stage. the fish have thrived
and served not only as a food product
for the people, but afford an abundant
sport for all.
ITO do this during the past ten years
1t has cost the people of the state the
round sum of one hundred thousand
dollars.
I'm order that this valuable food pro-
duct may gain some a%scendancy, I be-
lieve that such birds as those above re-
ferred to. should be destroyed. This
would In a measure assist in the IL
t,iral distribution of the fishes.
Birds in their relation to agricul-
ture. all admit, are valuable as insect
~destroyers. They are amply protected
by law. but it has reference only to ar
boreal birds, or those nesting in trees
and terrestrial birds or these nesting In
the ground and not to aquatic birds ex,
cept those classed as game birds, the
hfter being valuable for food.

y. of the Wyoming experiment station
bulletin No. 55, on the birds of Wyo
ming, is quoted as saying that birds
carry the spawn of fishes under their
feathers into new waters This may
}r a theory set forth by the profess
.Stunal gentleman, but 1t is not a scien-
rific fact. as it can be fully proven that
the eggs of fishes become indented
when exposed to a dry atmosphere,
even for a few minutes, and the embryo
If hatched under such conditions, turns
out a malformation. Further exposure
of the eggs to the air would result in
death under any circumstances. Such
~unscientific theories should not be
taught in the universities. In my opin-
ion. birds do not carry seeds and scat.
ter them broadcast over the face of the
earth. 1t has been proven by analysis
that the powerful secretions in the d.
gestive organs OF the bird kill the en-
bryo of the seed, while other scientific
reasons are attributed to the distribu-
ton of the seed in the soil. The fact
is, seeds have been found in soils where
it is known that they have been placed
by man as well rs nature. to exist in a
fertile condition for many years and
when proper moisture and tempera.
Iture were introduced by normal means
the seed has been evoluted into the
form of the product. The only encour
agement we can give to the theory is
that 1t sometimes leads by natural Law
and reaches to true science"
