can be little question. interviews with
some OF its leading members develop this
as the consensus OF opinion. COnserva-
tism and a very strong determination
10 look before it leaps win be among
the cominittee's cardinal points of faith.
When the appeal Of the city. for better
and mo.e advantageous rates and
freight facilities such as are afforded
other communities. is made, the commit
tee wants 70 be able 10 support its ar
guments with an array OF cold facts.
That the city is entitled to a dineren-
tial against Baltimore. to points in Vir-
ginia and West Virginia with which
business is done from Washington, ap-
peals. TO members of the committee as
a self-evident fact Baltimore has
dlferentials against New FORK and Phn-
adelphia and maintains them by hard
fighting. The committeeman think
Washington should be equally favored.
il is not argued the differenual should
be large. but that IL should be sufficient
TO emphasize the forty miles distance
between the two cities
A reduction OF the absurd differential
in favor OF Alexandria Is regarded as an
equal necessity. Il amounts, roughly, to
goods about seven miles. In many cases
this represents a large share Of the pro-
fit of an order. especially Of the heavier
staples The committee does not think
Il can be defended.
More Prompt Deliveries.
More prompt deliveries" win be an
other Of the committees slogans. One
shipper has recently adopted a system Of
return postal cards, sent cut with
orders, which the consignee is requested

this way a considerable amount OF In

FLOCKS OF WILD PIGEONS.
John Burroughs Investigates Report of
1heir Being Seen in Sullivan County.

John Burroughs, the author-natural-
ist. has returned to West Park from a
trip to Sullivan county, n. Y, where
he passed some time investigating re-
ports that wild pigeons had been seen
recently in that locality When Mr.. Bur-
roughs was in Poughkeepsie. he said:
Il have seen the men who saw the
birds and have every reason to believe
that they are telling the truth. Some
of them knew the passenger pigeon in
the old days. and it is not likely that all
have been mistaken in the identity of the
birds seen lately"
Thirty or forty years ago immense
fiocks of wild pigeons frequented the
Hudson river valley. They disap-
peared suddenly and it was supposed
that they had been eXterminated by
ruthless slaughter. The sequence of
events indicates. however, that they We're
driven away and sought new feeding and
resting grounds in other parts of the
globe, perhaps in the southern part of
South America.
Recently focks of considerable size
have been reported in Sullivan county,
and two focks have been seen along
the Hudson, one a week ago Saturday by
Elting Van Akin of Tower Hill farm,
near Port Ewen.-New York Sun.
