A BILL recently before the British House of Com
n mons, which had already passed the Lords pro-
hbits the importation of the skins of humningb birds:
the object of the measure being prevent the ex-
termination of those exquisite feathered creatures
Hummingbirds, of course, are exceedingly
in tropical America; but, when it is considered
that no fewer than six thousand millions of their
skins have been sent to market up to date it will be
realized that they are in serious danger of being wiped
off the face of the earth former Governor of Trini-
dad testified before committee of the Lords that
forty years ago at least eighteen species of humnng
bird were common on that island, whereas at the
present time only five left. The redthroat used
to fly constantly into the rooms of dwellings, and it's
nests were frequently found in the bushes; but
this thing of the past.
Orders used frequently to reach Trinidad from New
York for ten thousand or fifteen thousand humming
bird skins; and to fill these demands whole species
were destroyed Nowadays expectation OF the SKINS
from the island is prohibited and the little birds
increasing in numbers; but supplies easily OBJ
tanned from elsewhere, especially from Colombia Bo-
lvia, Peru, and Ecuador. They are most abundant
in Ecuador Some species restricted to single
mountain peaks valleys, while others, known as
hernits.' found in the darkest and least known
parts OF the forests of Brazil.
Caught by Indians
THE skins of hummingb are exported by millions
from Rio de Janeiro Pernambuco and Bogota
Many dealers at those ports are engaged exclusively
in the business of buying and shipping Them the de-
mand for them, chiefly for millinery purposes, being
always equal to the available supply. Many are
killed with guns and very small shot; considerable
numbers are captured in nets; but the method COM
monty employed by the native Indians, who furnish
most of the skins to shoot them with the blowppe
weapon they know how to with astonishing
accuracy.
This instrument is hollow reed and the projec-
tile which is discharged by sudden puff of the
breath is small pellet of clay. This suffices to
knock down the little Bird and does no harm to the
plumage. The expense for ammunition, of course is

MINING MAN SPEAKS
WELL OF BELLEHELEN

H. G. Eddy, superintendent of the
Nevada Bellehelen mine in the
Bellehelen district, arrived in Tono-
pah several days ago accompanying
an eight and half ton shipment of
ore which was sent to Millers. Yes
terday afternoon Mr.. Eddy returned
from Millers and stated that it was
his belief that the ore would aver
age better than 500 to the ton.
Concerning the Bellehelen district
Mr.. Eddy said that it has never
looked better and the coming fall
should witness some great develop
ments among a number of mining
properties there. A large force of
men is employed in the property he
is connected with and the number
will probably be increased before

And everything movable on me
Is seized by the boisterous crew.

And she gives a thousandfold value.
In love, labor, kisses and all.

tney cheerfully agreed that their road
should be held to pay all that it would
cost above that sum- Upon the basis
OF Mr.. Dunn's carefully prepared esti-
mates the cost of removing the Rines
Hill crossing is apportioned as follows:
Maine Central Railroad s45, 900
STATE OF Maine $4,000
Electric Road TX ono
City Of Augusta 15.OOO
total 100000
Now as regards the other plans: 1t
was stated by representatives of the
Maine Central In the hearing in the
House of Representatives., and in the
subsequent conference with the COM
mlttee in the room of the Railroad
Commissioners that it would cost at
least SS50,00O to do away with all the
crossings on the west side of the river,
and that while the plans and estimates
for crossing the river below Rines Hill
were not completed they We're suffi-
GENTLY advanced to indicate that it
would be a million dollar proposition
We think the representatives of the
various interests who We're present at
the hearing before and the conference
with the committee will bear us out in
the foregoing statements The Jour-
nal does not oppose the project of GO
ing across the river That may come
at some future day. We do express the
opinion, however, that the friends of
this final solution of the whole matter
will not help it any by opposing the
modest measure now before our voters
for immediate relief from the exceed
ingly dangerous situation that daily
menaces the public at the Rines Hill
crossing Ed

A Communication,

To the Editors <ennebec Journal:
Strange as it may seem, l have the
hardihood to favor 1.-The whole Loaf il
the matter of doing away with the
grade crossings in this city. I believe
that the way to do this is to cross the
river at point below Rines HILL
know that this will cost the city a
great deal more money than would the
Rines Hill proposition; but l believe
that the results attained would be wei
worth the money. True, this work may
cost the city of Augusta $3.50, Cooper
haps more, but l believe that we shall
receive benefits in return that will, fully
Justify the expenditure. I note youl
point that the electrical road cannot be
held to pay for improvements off it,
right of way. I know of no lawyer
that ever seriously contended that il
could; but what of it? Is the proper
future growth and prosperity of oul
city to depend upon the fact that the
electric road cannot be held to pay any
part of particular Improvement? The
Idea is DrepOSterOus If the electri,
road is legally exempt from paying for
the proposed building Of the new Maine
Central way across the river it simply
means that the other three interests
the Maine Central. the State and the
city--would have to divide up the ex-
pense among them, which would be
(assuming that the percentage of the
State and the city remained the same
as under the present bilD as follows:
Maine Central Railroad $54O0OC
State of Maine 2S7 500
City of Augusta $4,000
am we'll aware Of the fact that these
figures may seem large at first blush ;
but Our citizens must remember that
we cannot expect to get anything
real value in this life without paying
for it, AS Mr. Marley very truthfully
said in his first communication this is
the most important matter ever put be-
fore the voters of Augusta within my
recollection 1t is large matter and
we should look at it in a large way,
considering that a whole loaf any time
is preferable to half a one.
note, M. Editor, your objection that
the State or the city would not vote
the money necessary to carry out this
project; but you have already admitted
that the states of Massachusetts and
V tIJu DItl have DIT lIllS very moment
general laws which empower the
Board of Railroad Commissioners t.
bring about just such Improvement:
and to apportor the expense among
the railroads whose rights of way are
involved, the State, and the munich
pality. You think we could not get
such legislation; that the towns would
vote it down; but / believe you are
mistaken. ! see no reason why we can
not secure such general law as well
as Massachusetts and Vermont. When
we get such a law passed the whole
matter will then rest, where it prop
erly should. with the Railroad Commits
sioners. They will have the power to
apr ortion the eXpt nse of the improve
mounts ordered by them among tie in
terests legally holden to pay for them.
| do not question that the commss ion
crs would take the broad vic.E If the
matter and order tho work to be done
in the big ard enduring way

NO MORE MISERY.
All Distress From |ndiges-
ton Vanishes Promptly,
Stops Food Fermenting and
Digests Everything You Eat.
Free Yourself From all Stomach
Trouble by Taking Diapepsin.

AS there is often someone in your
family who suffers an attack Of Indi-
gestion or some form Of Stomach
trouble, why don't you keep a case
OF Diapepsin in the house handy?
This harmless blessing will digest
anything you can eat without the
slightest discomfort, and regulate a
sour stomach five minutes after.
Tell your pharmacist to let you read
the formula plainly printed on these
5O-cent cases of Pape's Diapepsin, then
you will readily see why they cure In
Digestion Sour Stomach, Heartburn
and prevent at once such miseries as
Belching Of Gas, Fluctuations of sour
undigested food, Nausea, Headaches,
Dizziness, Constipation and other
Stomach disorders.
Some folks have tried so long to find
relief from Indigestion with the COM
mon everyday cures advertised that
they have about made up their minds
that they have something else wrong,
or believe theirs is a case of Nervous
ness, Gastritis, Catarrh OF the Stom-
ach or cancer.
This is a serious mistake. Your
real trouble is. what you eat does not
digest; instead. it fermentS and
sours. turns to acid, gas and stomach
poison. which will putrefy in the entire
digestive tract and intestines, and, be-
sides. poison the breath with nauseous
odOrS.
A hearty appetite, with thorough di
gestion, and without the slightest dis
comfort or misery OF the stomach, is
waiting for you as soon as you decide
to try Pape's Diapepsin.
One candy like Triangula, taken af-
ter eating, will promptly digest all
your food, the same as a strong, heal
thy stomach would do it.
