AS William butcher says further IN his
story of the protective movement
IN recognition of the action taken by the
American Ornithologists union in securing the
appropriation the secretary of agriculture IN
vited the council of the union to select SUI
perintendent to carry on the work and at
subsequent meeting held in Washington DIR.
Clinton Hart Merriam was selected as the SUI
perintepdent and DR.. Albert K Fisher as his
assistant. Both of these noted ornithologists
were among the founders of the American Or
nithologists' union
It was from this humble beginning that the
present biological survey, a division Of the
United States department Of agriculture, has
grown 1t is perfectly apparent from the let
ters which agricuturists send to Washington
vey has it's value appreciated more and more
every year. The survey has published great
mass of valuable statistics of the food habits
of birds and their relation to agriculture and
forestry.
AS has been said, there are Audubon soci-
cites for bird protection in nearly. every state
in the Union They are affiliated in one great
society called the National Association Of Au=
dubon societies The writer of this article
from personal knowledge can speak of the be-
ginnings of one of the largest and most ac-
tive of the state organizations.
Persons who were known to be interested In
birds were asked to meet to form protective
organization A good many persons not par
ticularly interested in bird protection also
were invited. Several women came to that
first meeting, wearing the plumage Of wild
birds in their hats. At first the society in
tended to do It's work by persuasive mission

biological survey has been of great service TO

The history of bird protection In the United
States naturally and of right, is connected with
the history of two organizations, the various
state Audubon societies for the protection OF
wild birds and the American Orntthologlsts
union. Recently William butcher OF New
York. who is the president Of the National AS
ISOLATION of Audubon societies and fellow OF
the American Ornithologists union, told the
orntthologists Of the world assembled IN con-
yention in European city the story OF the
bird protection movement in North America
Mr. butcher and all the other officers OF the
national Association of Audubon societies are
men who have devoted their lives to the study
of birds and to their protection.

NAVIGATION Will

SHIPMENTS = AGGREGATE

LUMBER SHIPPED.

SHIPMENTS of ore to the lower lakes
from Lake Superior are gradually be-
INC curtailed, and the season will un-
daubtedly close earlier than i'm many
wears, says the Duluth News Tribune,
However, the total will probably
show an increase over tnat of 1909 or
even of 1907, the biggest year here
tofore I'm ore shipments I'm the history
nj the traffic Of that commodity on
the great lakes. owing TO the fact
that there was an unusually large
amount sent down early in the season
II is possible To close earlier i'm the
fall. thus avoiding the stormy and
treacherous weather that is due at al
most any time from now on.
Coal cargoes continue to come in
lunches and there is no doubt but
that october will break all records for
a single month of receipts of that
commodity at the Twin Ports. To
oct II there had been 100 cargoes re-
ceiyed, agregating in the neighbour
hood of SOO,OOO tohS OF COdi ana since
then il has been coming at an equally
rapid rate. 1t would not be surprising
II the close of the month there would
be a total Of 100000 tons received
at the local docks.
Grain shipments are still inactive,
and il is quite likely that it will re-
main SO until at least the closing
weeks Of the season of navigation. 1t
seems To be a deep-seated habit of
grain shippers TO hold off every season,
evidently i'm the hope of sescuring bet
ter rates while on the contrary the
rates raise as navigation becomes
moro dangerous, and the grain men
are the losers There has been
slight advance in rates within the last
few days. a few cargoes being char
tered at y cents from Fort William
To Buffalo, to he taken down on the
last trip of the season, and il is ex-
pcctcd that a number more will be
made later.
Lumber shipments continue heavy
and will probably continue so for some
weeks the Alger-Smith company being
the heaviest shippers this season from

The society women of New York
have begun to take up a new fad,
which promises TO become extremely
popular among the members of the
exclusive set. For several years il
was considered the proper thing for
every "swell lady to carry some
kind of a dog or cat, usually the
former, upon her arm or lap when out
driving or walking. Some women were
so dog-crazy that they even took their
pets to church and to theatre with
them. Now all this is to be changed.
The women will return to their first
love and substitute dolls for their an
innate pets. Some of the leading So
ciety women have already taken W
the fad and have appeared in public,
carrying sumptuously attired dolls on
their arms. 1t does not speak par
ticularly well for the intellectual
standing of these society women. but,
at all events, dolls are much cleaner
and less noisy than even the most
pampered society god. But. think OF
1t, will il not be a fine sight to see
these women march TO the polls with
dolls upon their arms?

Some Stray Topics From
Little Old New York

New York, oct. 2S.--It is a positive
relief To all prosaic and matter of-fac
readers of newspapers i'm and around
New York that Miss Gazzam, the
young and eccentric millionairess,
noted principally for her anti-vivis-
ection crusade and her frantic search
for her "soul mate" has, at last, not
only found but married the man whom
she considers or pretends to consider
her soul mate" At present, accord
ing To her own unblushng statement,
he is an "angel" and the "only per-
feet man. well. the future will show,
whether the aforesaid soul mate" will
be able to live up to his reputation
He is strong and apparently healthy
man of fine physique and forms, in
his stolidity, a strange contrast to the
highly emotional and high strung wo-
search, proposed to him and married
him. Before his rather unconventional
marriage he was an employe i'm the
engineering department of the Aqued-
uct Commission. with a moderate SAL
airy and doubtful prospects. BY his
marriage he became the practical own
er of large estate and the husband
of an eccentric but very handsome
young woman who is immensely
wealthy and-at present, at least
adores him and Is his devoted slave. 1t
would be Interesting To know what he
really thinks of this "soul mate"
business.

James j. Hagan. the Tammany lead
er of the Fifteenth Assembly district
is a great joker, but his latest Joke
or attempted joke did not quite pan
out as expected. In fact, ii might be
said that in that particular case the
bitter was bitten. short time ago
the Republican County Committee
sent out an appeal for campaign funds
and, i'm some manner Mr.. Hagan re-
ceived one of the appeals. He bravely
responded by sending a check for one
whole Cent to ogden L. Mills, treas
urer OF the Republican County Com
mittee. Like a boomerang his little
joke came back, however, in the form
of note from treasurer Mills, en-
closing the check and declining the
contribution with the pointed remark
that. although the committee needed
funds and would gratefully receive
even the smallest contributions, it
would not accept contributions from
any source that was unsatisfactory.
Now Mr.. Hagan can put that i'm his
dudeen and smoke IL.
