Your message Of the 23rd received.
While as you know from the many
conferences urging your action before
the strike took place and from our of
fer repeatedly urged upon the COM

bic. time for such action has now
passed, and il is only necessary that
we should have the protection to

Toronto. July 25.-Through trains
are running on the Grand Trunk on
schedule today although the strike is
not declared off officially. However,
the striking men are not interfering
with operations, pending the arbitra-

non-unionists are operating the

They predict chaos when suburban
traffic is resumed. Railroad officials
are extremely anxious to resume
freight operations as the loss is enor-
nous on account of incorporation of

WOODPEcKER'S ZEAL PUTS
HIM ON STATE emblem.
War on Insects Recognized on Wash
ington Coat of Arms.

The doWny woodpecker has been Sc
lected as the emblem Of the Pacific
Northwest and his fluffy features viii!
adorn the new seal Of the state Of
Washington in place Of the bald eagle.
The woodpecker has been selected as
the emblem because of its assiduous
chards Of various insects and destruc-
tive borers.
Hordes Of insects thrive upon and
with all trees. Borers protected from
every enemy except the woodpecker
work the year round. They dig tunnel
after tunnel often just beneath the
bark of live trees, where they do the
most harm.
AS many as sixty borers have been
found in one dead fruit tree. Borers
have been known to riddle a two-year-
old locust tree. Later ants get started
in the abandoned tunnels and other
insects help to destroy the wood.
It is the woodpecker that saves so
many Of the trees Of both forest and
orchard. He began his work thou
sands Of years ago, and unheeded by
most men has been at it ever since.
Now after a thorough Investigation it
is found that to the woodpecker is due
the fact that any trees are alive to-day
in Washington. .:. .-.....
The woodpecker busy at work when
the sun peeps over the hills is a per-
severing bird, searches carefully and
deals out punishment unspar1ngly.
With the most perfect climbing appa-
ratus ever invented he gets over every
part of tree. He possesses the quick
est of eyes and the quickest Of tongues
with which he destroys hundreds Of
eggs that are tucked away in crevices
OF the bark. Any one Of these eggs
would be enough to defoliate an en-
tire branch.
The woodpecker has ears that can
hear the crunch of the borer as it eats
in the heart Of a tree. With accurate
precision he locates the sound and
pecks away at the wood until he To-
Gates and eats the borer.
There are eight species and eighteen
subspecies of woodpeckers in Wash
ington that remain the year round.
They scout the edge Of the woods,
penetrate deep into the forest and nest
in the orchards.
AS the emblem of the northwest the
woodpecker can claim to be a qualified
resident, living there the year round,
and he is American in his ways.
