The principal result of the meet

this week was the adoption of the
pooling plan for marketing truck
1t was definitely decided to establish
central packing houses throughout

Owing to considerable dissatisfac-

THE BRAVERY OF GALVESTON.
Fine Tribute Paid to Seawall City
BY We'll Known Writer.

Harry Handy Hay, the we'll
known magazine writer of Phila-
delphia, who visited Brownsville
and other valley points recently pays
the following fine tribute to Calves
ton in the Philadelphia Ledger:
Galveston impresses me as a pic
turesque town of great vigor and
prosperity. A bale of cotton ram
pant, an English steamship and the
wall should be the arms of the town,
which handles more cotton than
New Orleans and Savannah put to-
gether. AS you enter the harbor
from the sea, the cottony smell is
unmistakable We arrived when
Galveston was en- fete A cotton
carnival was drawing to its close. l
visited the Cotton Palace twice; it
was not a palace, but rather ugly
wooden building. Yet the exhibit
was wonderful Here was cotton
growing, cotton unbaled, cotton
baled, cotton from all parts of the
earth; the fanciful and grotesque,
too, had their say. Here were mice,
geese. dogs, slices of watermelon
and butterflies. On a more elabo-
rate scale were sailboats, landscape,
a section of the wall and the flag of
Texas, and even the house of Lin
coin, and all these were in cotton.
An art gallery was attached, in
which were some pretty sketches
and a few landscapes of real merit.
Galveston is essentially the city
of the wall, wall built like the
walls of Jerusalem, to keep out L
relentless foe, wall more useful
than the Roman and Chinese, for it
has accomplished its purpose.
Also before the wall was were
the jetties five miles of beautiful
granite, so that Galveston may
keep thirty feet on its bar. But the
jetties belong to commerce, and the
wall means the life of brave men,
beautiful women and tender babes.
Your readers can imagine it. stretch
ing from Front street, Philadelphia,
to Fifty-second street. incurved, six
teen feet wide and sixteen feet high
We can imagine this wall; but car
we imagine the courage of those who
saw their day of terror and yet re

DAMAGE By wooDPECKERs.
Build Nests in Telephone, Telegraph
and Electric Light Poles.

Considerable damage is being done
telephone, telegraph and electric
light poles by members of the wood
pecker family. The birds originally
built their homes in the dead or dy-
ing trunks or limbs of trees, but for
some reason best known to them
selves, have come to the conclusion
that the peeled pole offers better con-
ditions for home.
They have become so ravenous of
late that their depredations are at
tracing considerable attention among
those who are compelled to use guam
titles of wooden poles. Their actiV-
tiles spread over a wide portion of
the United States, notably in the
South, Southwest and Central West.
Cedar poles seem to be the ones most
frequently attacked. The birds bore
into them at any height from the
ground, and the holes which they
make are often two or three inches IN
diameter and four or five inches deep.
~ Il drilled from
stick of timber which is carrying
load of wires naturally weakens
the strength of the line.
1t would of course, not be diff
cult matter to exterminate these
birds However. this is not desir-
able. as they are among the most
beneficial forms of bird life native
to this country, because they destrop
large numbers of insects which ser
iously damage forest and food crops.
1t seems, therefore, that methods
should be taken to compel the birds
to revert to their former habit of
boring rather than exterminate them.
Frequent inquiries have been made
by the Forest Service in this connec-
ton, but the only information to date
which the Government has been able
to obtain is that on casual inspec-
ton of treated and untreated pole
lines in Louisiana. In that region
it was found that poles which had
been impregnated with creosote oil
were not attacked by the birds,
whereas untreated poles under the
same conditions were very seriously
injured.
Whether or not creosote will pre-
vent such attack is not definitely
known, but the Service is investigat-
ing this problem, and should. this oil
prove a preventive, it will fulfill
a two-fold purpose: 1t will protect
the poles from decay and destruction
from animal life. In Southern In
diana, some members of a traction
company thought that they could pre-
vent further destruction of their
poles by filling the holes in the wood
with stones. The birds, however,
simply drilled around the stones and
made conditions worse. This appar-
emily does not seem to be a means
of preventing their depredations.-

SACRAMENTO, July 1.-Returning
from Los Angeles. where he was sent
by Governor GilIett to investigate con-
.dftions at the whittier reform. school
Secretary A. b.: Deming of the state
board of examiners has made a sensa-
tional report concerning the sem
fencing of innocent children to the
school to eonsort with the vicious and
depraved.
Deming says he found little girls
and boys were being restrained under
rules adopted for the criminally in
clined of more mature age.
Deming does not criticise the adj
ministration at Whittier, but says the
officers who send children there are to
blame He found two boys, one and
the other Z. who had been sent there
because they were with their father
when he robbed butcher shop. Three
little girls of similar age were sent
there because they had no home.
An act prohibiting the sentencing of
small children TO reform schools will
be put before the next legislature as a
result of the report.
