1 tract, every tree of any size had one or more nests. and some were filled with them. They were all above Is feet from the ground.
 Many pigeons were shot. but the
 bulk of them were caqght in nets
 placed near their nesting or roosts.
 These nets were or feet wide and cons were baited to them and usually a stool pigeon was used for decoy.
 The largest number recorded at one
 catch was more than 1900 birds. This
 netting occurred in all the states from
 Massachusetts to Wisconsin. From
 one of the Michigan nestings several millions of birds were killed and ship ped each season. These birds: were barreled and sent to New York and The netters got from to 6c apiece for them. Each man strove to outdo hi
 ne1ghbor in the number of birds talk en, consequently none of them got much out of the miserable enterprise, but they did almost wipe out one of the most abundant species of birds.
 The situation is almost the same that confronted the American Bison. On the very verge of extinction, a few have been saved and will be preserv- ed for future generations. We may hope for like results with the Pas senger Pigeon if everyone does his part in preventing their destruction and in nesting birds or colonies. Do not confuse these birds with the com mon Mourning Dove or the Western Faand-tailed Pigeon, is often done. We would advise those wishing to. assist in saving this bird to send for the leaflet above mentioned, which will dispe1 any chance of error in iden- tifcation.

 That pr. Brown chose to con tinue his ministry in another branch of the Christian church rather than with the church to which he gave so many fruitful years, is occasion for our most genuine regret. The com n5ittee is of the opinion that while his transfer is to another church, he is free from any intent to show dis courtesy to either this church or con- ference and that he joins with this committee in the regret that his of f1cia1 relations with this conference did not terminate before he entered another fellowship.
 we extend our deep desire for his success in his new field of endeavor and recommend that he be entered upon our records as withdrawn

IS THE PASSENGER
 PIGEON NOW EXTINCT
More Than $3,00o in Re wards Offered to Find
 Living Birds

The Passenger or World Pigeon of the past is a matter of history. The stery,-an unknown quantity that in- vites investigation. During the 1909 meeting of the American Ornitholo- gists' Union at New York City, the question of the present status of this noble bird was under discussion. Plans were adopted to make a coun- try-Wide search for the missing birds.
 For creating national interest in the matter, and thus making more certain of success, it was decided best to adopt system of rewards for the finding of nests of the Passenger Pigeon and leaving them undisturb- ed. At the present time more than finding of nests in various states, and the one that finds the first nest, sub ject to confirmation by the commit tee, and leaves it and the bird un- nolested, will stand to receive not less than $1,10o.00 reward. Leaflets have been prepared giving nesting habits anr descriptions and a large finely colored picture showing the male, female and young of the Pas senger Pigeon. These will be sent to any address. together with com p1ete list of the rewards to date and what to do to get them, for Sc in stamps to defray postage and clerical W ork. Address Chas. K. Reed, Wor- cester. Mass.)

 While there is no absolute proof. it is condd dently expected that few iso- lated colonies of these birds are still left. As soon as it is known definitely, steps will be taken to protect them absolutely and a Passenger Pigeon Restoration Society will be formed to core with the situation and attempt to increase the numbers and range of the birds.
 The story of the extermination of these birds is a matter of history. It is a. story diSgra ceful to the American nation in it's brutality. The least any of us of the present generation can do is to assist in the saving of what birds we have, if, ,sindeed, any can be found. The last authentic record of any con siderable flight of pigeons was in the spring of 1888. when a flock. estimated as covering more than acres, swept northwards through Michigan. The nesting of this flock was not discov- cred.
 One of the largest nestings recorded l Is one near Petosky, Mich. in 1876. It | extended for 28 miles and averaged 3 to miles wide. Throughout this 1
