case was called before Justice Mann

Attorney Crow who had previously
made an investigation, told the court
that Lynch was unable to make

to stop, while the train speeded by
saving the mans life. In a mixture

witnesses bore out Lynch's statement
that the throwing of the pebble
saved the lives of Gambost and his
horse, and the case was dismissed.

WOODP[CKER ON
STATES BIC SEAL
WAS HlMGTON WILL USE INSECT
DESTROYER IN PUBLIC DOC
UMENTS IN FUTURE.
BlRD KILLS WORMS, ANTS AND
BOXERS, ALL HARMFUL
TO TREES.

Seattle, Wash, July 1.-THE downy
woodpecker has been selected as the
emblem of the Pacific northwest and
his fluffy features will acorn the new
seal OF the state of Washington in
place of the bald eagle. The wood
pecker has been selected as the en-
blem because of its assidious labor in
clearing the forests and orchards of
various insects and destructive Dor
ers. There has been little opposition
to the substitution of the woodpecker
for the bold eagle inasmuch as the
eagle has been condemned because
of it's habits.
Hordes of insects thrive upon and
with all trees. Borers protected
from every enemy except a wood
pecker work the year around. They
dig tunnel after tunnel often just be-
meath 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
1t 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 thorough investigation it
is found that to the woodpecker is
due the fact that any trees are alive
today in the state
The woodpecker, busy at work
when the sun peeps over the hill is a
persevering bird, searches carefully
and deals out punishment unsparing-
ly. With the most perfect climbing
apparatus ever invented he gets over
| every part of a tree. He possesses the
| quickest of eyes and the quickest of
tongues with which he destroys hun
dreds Of eggs that are tucked away in
crevlces of the bark. Any one of these
eggs would be enough to defoliate an
entire branch
The WOodpecker has ears that can
! hear the crunch of the borer as it
eats in the heart of a tree With ac-
curate precision he locates the sound
! and peCks away at the wood until he
! locates and eats the borer
There are eight species and eigh-
teen subspecies of woodpeckers in
Washington that remain the year
around. They scout the edge of the
woods, penetrate deep into the for
ests and nest in the orchards.
AS the emblem of the northwest,
the Woodpecker can claim to be a.
| qualified resident, living here the
year around, and he is American i'm
his ways.
