establishment of national university
devoted to the conservation of Ameri-
can resources through the preservation
of the pest-killng birds. Suitable en-
dowment for an educational institution
of such vital economic Importance is
to be at once sought by officers of the
association.
To greatly extend the educational
work that is now being pushed with
all the funds at the command of the
Audubon workers is designed to be the
main aim of the proposed national uni
versity. Skilled ornithologists are to be
employed in investigating, compiling
and analyzing scientific data showing
the capacity of various species of wild
birds for destroying such pests as the
Gypsy Moth, the Boil Weevil and the
Brown Tail Moth, whose ravages have
been proven to cost the country one
billion dollars in it's crop yield each
year. Men and women lecturers, train
ed at the proposed university, will be
stationed in every section of the CONT

On the children of the land. who will
face this most pressing problem when
bird destruction has brought on an
oven more appalling spread of crop
killing insects, the Audubon officials
declare they must base their hopes for
the spread of the gospel of conserva-
ton through the bird resources of the
nation. Trained teachers are to be as
signed to conduct summer schools
among the teachers of every region and
through them to reach the great body
of future American citizens. The
preparation and extensive circulation
of illustrated. educational pamphlets or
the economic uses of wild bird life is
designed to be one of the chief activ-
ties of the new national institution, as
it is of the National Association of Au-
dubon Societies at present. Text
books treating of all the local wild
birds will be published and issued to
every school.
Nothing but the education Of the
American people on the value of tn,
wild birds as crop and forest prcservers

NEW CHINESE ENTRY PORT.
CeIestiaIs Coming Here Via Canada to
be Inspected at Vancouver.

Washington, Sept. 2O.-With the
broad purpose of supporting American
business interests in Chinese immigrant
transportation, Acting Secretary Nc
Harg. of the Department of Commerce
and Labor. has directed that hereafter
the inspection of Chinese coming from
the Orient and seeking admission
through Canada be made at Vancou-
yer. 3. c. The present Gland border
ports" of entry for Chinese are to re-
main open, for the entry of Chinese
coming from the Orient furnished at
Vancouver with certificates of identity.
and FOR the examination and admission
Of the small number of Chinese not
from the Orient desiring to enter from
Canada.
Mr.. McHarg has ordered that notice
be served on the Canadian Railway
of the Departments intention to modi-
fly this extent. This agreement was
entered into with a view to efficient
control of the immigration of Chinese
through Canada, and American trans
portation lines complained that under
the agreement the business Of carrying
Chinese destined to Eastern points was
Canadian Pacific.
For many years previous to the
agreement with the Canadian Pacific.
Chinese were brought to Canada ir
large numbers and were struggled in
| to the United States. Under the agree
| Inent the company brings all of its
| Chinese passengers destined to the
United States to certain designated
ports on the Canadian border, and
there places them in the custody of
| immigration officials. The company
agreed to return to China all it's Chi
nese passengers who were refused adj
mission. The government agpeed to
| maintain at the land bordeA ports
| a corps of officers to examine the Chi
| nese.
| Acting Secretary McHarg says con-
ditiOns have changed materially since
that agreement was required. and Chi
nese now have to pay $500 per capita
tax to remain on Canadian soil The
Southern Pacific Company and the Pa
cific Mail steamship Company. and
other railroad lines, together with rep
representatives. in Congress- protested
against the agreement.
1t was concluded that justice to the
two protesting companies required that
Chinese by the Canadian route should
be inspected at the Pacific seaport of
Vancouver. thus placing them on a par
with those coming to San Francisco
or Seattle, or else all lines should b.,
allowed to bring Chinese destined East
across the United States in bond, their
examination to be conducted at an
Eastern point.
