UNFORTUNATE EVENTS.

A score Of persons persisted in a fire
which swept the building occupied by
the Los Angeles Times. The fire fol.
lowed an explosion in the mechanical
department of the Times and rapidly
spread throughout the entire building.
The building was soon a mass OF
flames and firemen say they believe
many who attempted to reach the
windows fell back into the blaze.
The Times has for years been run
as an ''open shop" Recently union
labor forces have been engaged in a
life and death struggle in Los Angeles
and the owners of the Times say the
disaster was the work of the labor
unions OF sympathizers.
Four killed and a score injured, half
a dozen of them mortally, is the rec
ord of the Vanderbilt cup race. AL
though Harry F. Grant repeated his
last years performance of winning the
race and achieved a new record not a
cheer burst from the packed grand
stand as his winning car Numbered
over the line. The cumulated reports
of deaths and injuries had not only
hushed the thousands in the stands,
but the multitudes along the course
az we'll.
There has been given out from the
b%attleship New Hampshire a list Of
twenty-nine men who are supposed to
have persisted by the swamping of a
barge, which was being towed to the
vessel at anchor in the Hudson river.
Fire which completely destroyed the
Hotel Nicollet at Willow Lake, S. D.,

Birds as Farmers Allies.


Every year there ome Il protest
against the American way of permit
ting birds to breed aud fatten. The
sparrow especially is objected to as an
agent Of destruction without Il redeem
ing trait. But bird experts do not
place the sparrow on the blacklist.
and some even have a good word for
the crow and hawk. Many bird de-
tenders have gone so far as TO urge
farmers to feed the birds in extreme
cold weather in order to have them do
the work Of weed and insect destroy
ers in the spring.
1t is discouraging to have birds at
tack the small fruits and even pluck
up seeds that have been planted. But
it is contended that at the worst the
birds protect more than they destroy.
Some Of them eat weed seed. others
eat up insects that If left alive would
destroy young plants. and others attack
mice that would play havoc In grain
stacks and bins if left alive. 1t is true
that some birds may he allies of the
farmers in one section and farm pests
in another. 50 it is unfair to condemn
indiscriminately the sworn foes OF
birds.
