KALBFUS believes
PIGEON STORY

A story was scut out from Pough
keepsie. N. Y. las week to the effect
that John Burroughs, the author-na-
turalist, has returned from a trip to
Sullivan county. y y, where he in
vestigated reports that wild pigeons
had been recently i'm that locality, with
the impression that he had every rea
son to believe that ,e men who saw
the birds were telling the truth, as
they were familiar with the passenger
pigeon in the oldnn days when there
were flocks of millions in this coun-
try.
Secretary KalbfuS, of the State game
Commission, was asked if he had any
information coucaralng wild pigeons
in this State, and said he had received
reports of some being seen, but had
not yet investigated Several months
ago Secretary Kalbfus received let
ter from H. H Rishel of Westover,
Clearfield county, in which he stated
that there had been nesting for two
seasons past a large flock of wild pige-
ons within a mile of where he lives,
and he was confident there were at
least three hundred in the flock.
DR.. Kalbfus asked for further lnfor-
nation concerning these birds, think
ing perhaps that they might be doves,
and Mr. }ishel told him that they
nested together, which to the game
commissioner is an indication that
they were really wild pigeons, as doves
do not nest together, and it was
! peculiaritv Of tie wild or passenger
pigeons of thirty years ago TO nest in
large focks. There can scarcely be any
mistake about these being wild pige-
ons, and it leads to the belief that they
are coming back to this State.
Thirty years ago there was large
wild pigguu roost in the vicinity of
| Sheffield. Warren county, and the
stories told of their numbers seem al
most incredible. When the birds set
out to feed in the morning and return
ed to the roost at night they were in
such numbers as TO obscure the sun,
and passing over a town, flying low,
they rcsomblad a huge cloud. Millions
| of them were killed and sent to the
larger cities. while thousands were
trapped and used at shooting matches.
The Cornpianter Indians in the north
ern part OF this State and Southern
New York uetted myriads of the birds
and made q good living from their
sale If the Wild pigeon returns to this
State = strinacnt law will be passed to
prevcp, i'd -ermination.

SLANG IN SCHOOLS.

Several of our exchanges note the
fact that the Philadelphia board of
education has taken a decided stand
against the use of slang in schools.
There are some slang expressions which
have found their way into the diction-
airy and into current speech because
they really represent something that
could not be 50 pointedly expressed IN
any other way. But the school author
titles of Philadelphia are clearly right.
There may be place for slang, but 1t
is surely not i'm the public schools.
Our children should be taught TO use
good language and to avoid vulga 7
aud ill-hred expressions.

Plenty of Quail.

The condition of the quail brought
from the South and distributed over
the state, said Secretary Kalbfuss, Of
he State game commission, is report
ed to be very good. We have placed
quail from the South in every county
of the State excepting three, where
there are no game protectors. All re
ports are that the birds are doing first
rate and we get reports almost daily.

FARGO. CONVENTION.

Continued from page n
Agricultural college and the splendid
work 1t is doing for the farmer boys.
Geo. p. Grout of the agricultural
college read paper on How to
Raise the Standard of Creamery But
ter Throughout the State" His con-
clusion was that this could be best
accomplished through the improving
of the breed of the dairy COW, though
improved methods in feeding and
through more careful methods in hand
ling the cream products.
At the afternoon session, James
Austin of Hannah, prominent stock
raiser and farmer, gave decidedly
profitable talk on the breeding Of
horses for the market. He thought
that the horse would always remain
as he always had been, mans greatest
animal servant on the farm. He adj
yocated the sticking to one breed, the
procurement of the very best sires
and the proper care of the colt from
it's birth until it was ready for the
market. The address had the double
merit of being practical and based on
experience. Ia
Prof. Richards of the Agricultural
college read strong paper on Grain
and Live Stock on the Farm" and
showed that they were thoroughly in
ter-dependable and that each assisted
the other. The paper tied together the
two features most prominent SO far,
that Of grain growing and stock rails
ing. 5'.
State Dairy Commissioner Flint
made an address on the creamery
industry of the state, pointing out the
work that has been done under the
recent law, and indicating some of the
troubles to be overcome:
The last speaker of the afternoon
was A. J. Phillips OF West Salem Wis
consin. He is witty, sensible and prac-
teal and his talk on the breeding Of
the dairy cow was one of the best Of

An Amateur Actor.

Master Harvard Schneeweis of this
city has returned from a three weeks
trip with the Harold Nelson company
In which he appeared in minor roles
with the celebrated actor and so well
pleased the management that prior to
Mr.. Nelson leaving this city today an
offer was made to the young man to
accompany the company. Though a
boy of but eleven years, Harvard has
considerable dramatic ability and has
developed the same to considerable
extent. He has decided to remain in
this city for time with his parents,
but later on may decide to take up the
study of dramatic art with an idea
of making the stage his profession.

New Time Card May Go Sunday.

The muchly made new time card of
the Great Northern will probably go
into effect Sunday. While this is not
official, it is reasonably sure to go
through If dame rumor has not played
the press another trick. Word reached
the city last evening that such was the
intention of the schedule makers in
st. Paul. Nos. Three and Four will
not run via Grand Forks and Crook
ston, the latter city will be deprived
of that mirage of a "day train" to the
cities which has haunted the news
papers SO long. No. 2 will reach
Grand Forks at o'clock instead of
4:25, and No. will run some three
hours earlier. This arrangement will
give Grand Forks western connections
at Fargo via No. 2.

is much enthusiasm in connection with
hockey in the north line towns and a
series of games are to be arranged be-
fore the end Of the winter, several of
which will be played in Crookston.
