ROBINS EARN THEIR CHERRIES
@Destroy Insect Pests and Save Far
More Fruit Than They Can
E Possibly Consume. III

/ An orchardist at Fulton makes COM
plant against the robins or Jack rob
Ans" as he calls them. He says they
are nipping all the blossoms off his
cherry trees. They just strip the trees.
and the ground beneath them is white
with blossoms. He says the wicked
birds tear the hearts out Of the bios
SONS and then bite the stems in two
and let them fall, and fears that. his
cherry crop will be ruined, say 5 the
Portland Oregonian. "A memberef the
John Burroughs society who has been
spilled to for information on this sub
ject says the orchardist is mistaken;
If the robins do cut off any blossoms
1t Is only defective ones, or such as
have insects in them, and that the birds
are doing good instead of harm. He
says he puts up nests OF boxes among
his trees to enable birds of any kind,
even sparrows, to make their homes
on his grounds. He says that birds help
themselves to few cherries when
ripe, but they are welcome to them, as
they have earned them by destroying
insect pests. It il hoped that this In
formation will satisfy the orchardist.
1t 10 doubtless correct, for If robins
were as destructive as he imagines
there would long ago have ceased to
Z be any cherries in Oregon, while the
fact is that the cherry crop is large
almost every year, and Of great value,

SUICIDE ON THE MAINE,
Lieutenant Commander War
burton Shoots Himself.

Pensacola, Fla, April 2.-Lieutenant
Commander Edgar Townsend Warbur-
ton, chief engineer of the battleship
Maine, now in this harbor, committed
suicide in his cabin on board the vessel.
A bullet from a revolver was sent
crashing through the brain and death
resulted within forty minutes after
ward. The executive officer of the ship
was passing the door of Commander
Warburtons cabin when he was startled
by the report of a revolver within. The
bullet after passing through the brain
came through the door and struck the
rail of the ship barely missing the ex-
ecutive officer. The latter notified the
other officers and the door of the COM
mander's cabin was forced open. He
was found lying on the floor in a pool
of blood, and a revolver was grasped in
his right hand. The commander ex-
pired shortly afterward. No cause is
known for the suicide. Commander
Warburton appeared to be in the best
of health and spirits, and within a few
weeks would have been assigned to
shore duty.
Many Of the officers express the be-
lief that death was the result of an ac-
cident and that the commander had not
committed suicide Commander War
burton had been CHEZ engineer of the
Maine since that vessel was placed in
commission. He was formerly on the
Indiana.
The body will be forwarded to Phila-
delphia where his wife resides.

Speeches of Americans at Toxic
Excite Comment i'm Russia.

st. Petersburg, April 2-2:50 P. MA
Toxic dispatch received here reporting
the members of the United States 4ega-
ton there as making enthusiastic
banquet given at Toxic March 81,
arOuses much comment here in view
of President ROOseVeltS proclamation
enjoining the strictest neutrality of
word and speech on the part of all
government officials. The speech of
the viceroy of India. Lord CurzOn of
KedleSton, March so, at Calcutta
when he reviewed the last five years
OF Indian administration and referred
to the governments watchful policy
attracts more attention than Colonel
MacDOnald's victory in Thibet- 1t was
considered to have been especially in
Opportune just at a time when English
batting in Russia is decreasing, as 1t
tends to revive animosities, but coming
from Lord Curzon, the words carry less
weight perhaps than they would from
other quarters as he is looked upon as
having his own special policy for India
as Cecil Rhodes had for southern At
RIGA. The Bourse Gazette in an edi-
torial entitled "A voice from India, .
says:
All of Lord Curzon's speeches have
the fundamental idea of the shadow of
Russia in Indian frontier. Lord Curzon
says:
I'VE do not want Thibet, but no other
country shall have it,
Lord Duferin says the same thing
about Nepaul, Burmah and Kashmid.
British arms have already carried death
into Thibet, which is part of the Chi
nese empire. The purpose is to take
Thibet and run railroad through
China, in order to be able to place troops
there quickly. We wonder how France,
in view of the projected Anglo French
entente, will regard Lord Curzon's
avowals of the designs cherished on
southern Persia and Siam. The editorial
concluded:
THE powers having interests in China
viii do well to mediate upon these
things"
The Svet, while acquitting Great Brit
ain of responsibility and declaring that
the British government is correctly OBJ
serving neutrality, expresses astonish-
ment at the speech of Lord Curzon,
whose words ring like a challenge"

WHEAT is IMPROVED.
That Is What the Reports Now
Indicate.

A444EAtGa
The condition OF the Kansas wheat
crop seems to have considerably i'm
proved in the last two weeks, except
possibly in the extreme western coun-
ties.
The Weekly Northwestern Miller
publishes reports from many different
parts Of the Kansas wheat belt, and in
its general summary of conditions it
says:
Reports from over all the south
western wheat area are almost unani-
nous in indicating a greatly improved
wheat condition. Heavy, soaking rains
dell over all the eastern and southern
part of Kansas Thursday, doing a vast
deal of good to the growing plant. The
area of precipitation extended into
western Kansas though the far Wess-
ern part of the state is still without
moisture. This, however, is not of
great Importance, since, though much
wheat was last year raised in the west
ern counties, that section is never to
be depended upon. The main wheat
belt has had moisture and the wheat
has been materially helped,-helped to
such an extent that there is no longer
occasion for fOreboding over the pros
pect. Every present report indicates
good conditions and every promise of
a crop of average or greater than aver
age amount"
The reports in detail are as follows:
Harper-Wheat looking fine in this
vicinity.
Pratt-Wheat looking fairly well yet
but getting dry.
Colby-Wheat 25 per cent dead. no
rain since last November. No snow.

but If we got some soon viii be o. K.
