HUNTERS KILLING OFF THE
BIRDS.

Mr.. ]. P. Gilbert, of the University
~ Illinois, said in a recent lecture on
'Birds Of the Farm and CITY," that
the hunters of the cities who did not
realize the value of birds to farm pro-
ducts made, possible an annual loss
from farm insects to crops and forests
Of the. United States Of s7oo.o0o,000.
Mr.. Gilbert said It due to destruc-
tfon of quail in Illinois that the po-
tato bug was becoming such pest;
that quail on the table 10 worth q few
cents, but that quail on the farm IL
worth many dollars: that every hawk
and owl Is worth on an average $50

FOR THE HORSE BREEDER,

Pure bred draft horses are always
in big demand at good prices. Many
pure bred stallion colts are sold at
$1,000 as three-year-olds. while pure
bred mares bring from $500 to- $500.
A really good horse IL never Of
bad color but some colorA such a.

If English farmers can afford to use
pure bred draft horses that are worth
$500 for ordinary farming operations
why cannot our farmers afford them

These men find ready sale at full

It is q fact that most Of the ham

as it becomes hot on the broiler or the

HOUSTON-THE PAST SIX
MONTHS.

continued at the same pace-a pace
that was set three years ago-Hous-
ton gives promise of being counted
among the largest, richest and most
enterprising cities in United States
within the next decade This progress
that has been noted in Houston has
been along conservative lines There
has been an absence of mushroom
growth, but the changes in the city's
skyline during the past three years
and especially during the past six
months; the glacial movement of the
business district from the old stands
and the more dignified metropolitan
aspect of the city, have been brought
about by a piling up Of dollars that
are being accumulated behind every
business interest. Along with the
change in the physical conditions Of
the city its citizens have changed to
marked extent, all of which probably
has escaped the notice of those resid-
ing here who mark the daily growth
been made during the past half year.
Six months ago Houstons skyline
was broken by half a dozen buildings
whose ten to sixteen stories caught
the first CLINT of the rising sun and
were landmarks throughout the great
er part of the county. Now that sky
line looms impressively above the
tallest pines, an almost unbroken line
marking the business district. TO
those returning from an extended stay
from the city the old landmarks
greet them in friendly manner, but
alongside of them tower gaunt struc-
lures that were only on paper six
months ago.
The Carter building six months ago
was in it's infancy. The workmen had
builded the big skeleton and placed
the brick coating, but the interior was
far from complete. The Bender hotel
building was six stories above ground
the skeleton only having been erect
ed. Now it is to its full height, brick
ed, decorated and ready for occupancy
The Southern Pacific office building
was "a hole in the ground" from which
Worlmen were removing the remains
of the old Hutchins hotel foundation.
The new Union depot was as yet UNI
finished and the Union National Bank
building had reached the draughting
room. The new central exchange of
the Southwestern Telephone company
was still in embryonic form. An eight
story fiat building on Main street has
been started by E. G. Lamb and asso
ciates, the Seaman building on Pres.
ton avenue has been erected by the
Seaman estate and Conrad Schwartz
has built another structure on the
same street and adjacent to building
built by him two years ago. The Ross
oman apartments have been complet
ed; the plant of the Model laundry or
Prairie avenue is finished and Deep
pied and a telephone exchange has
been started by the Automatic Tele
phone company,
There are other buildings going III
in all parts of the city. In every por
ton of the city can be seen brick AM
frame store structures, from the mod
est one-room one-storied building il
the outskirts to the two or more ste
ries and double rooms nearer the bus
ness centers. Most of these bushes

frame is rapidly disappearing. Prob
ably this is brought about by a great
err faith in the city, but more likely by
the accumulation of wealth behind the
individual business enterprises. Many
established business houses that have
had their single hanging in front of
the old stand for half a century or
more either are seeking new locations
or are rebuilding on the old sites.
There also seems to be a general
building trend toward the bayou west
of the section known as 1.-The business
district" For years Main and Com
merce streets were the principal bust
ness thoroughfares of the city, but as
the residential district expanded and
the city increased in size it moved
farther south and the business center
of the city flucuated about the east
side of the city hall square. A few
years ago a few buildings were erect
ed on Preston and Franklin near the
bayou; others were built on Travis
and Fannin street received some i'm
proving. At about the same
time the Federal building was built
or rather started in a district then far
removed from the business center.
Failure was predicted for those
buildings being built away from Main
street and many criticised the action
of the government in placing the new
postoffice so far away from the bust
ness center However, success has
met the efforts of the pioneers, and be-
for the Federal building could be
completed the business district moved
toward it. Now the business center of
the city is no more center. 1t is now
a district, and instead Of being a spot
as formerly, encompasses a large
slice of the central portion Of the city.
During the past six month this change
has been very noticeable. Travis
street from a district of small mer-
camille stores, has broadened into a
promising retail district. Several, for
merly occupying Main street locations
have moved over to the next block,
and all of the cross streets are chang
ing in looks and character Of business.
Main street so far has offered the
least resistance to the growth of bust
ness and number of firms have NOV
ed farther south The building of the
Carter building and the Bender hoteI
has helped this movement.
Franklin avenue has changed great
ly within the year and now the ole
Necco & Eisemann building bordering
the bayou will be supplanted by
modern cold storage warehouse o
prepossessing dimensions that will be
built by Hugh Hamilton. Travis
street is to have another hotel Oppo
site the Post building on Travis stree
and Texas avenue a siX-story hote
structure has been started on the Mil
by & Dow property. On Main street
near Walker avenue John Finnegal
and John II. Kirby are erecting one
story brick buildings. Both of thes
will have foundations capable of SUI
porting a much larger structure.
In the old Second ward distric
Houston Heights, and in fact alon
all railroads entering the city, nun
erous factory buildings have bee
built; some are now under constru
aion and a few more are planned. Al

DON'T PUT AWAY COAT TOO
SOON, SAYS WEATHER MAN.

This is not a good spring story, be-
cause however one wishes to get away
with a good spring story one cannot
get away with it In the face of Pro-
fessor Wiener's gloomy prophecy that
for the next three days It viii be rainy
and colder than eve when 1t clears.
One had wished that this two days
sunshine might be heightened up and
heated some forty degrees, so that the
women of the community might get a
decent run for their Easter hnery. II
appears from the predictions that they
won't.
Professor Wiener says it will rain
early tomorrow, and maybe all day, at
least unsettled weather will keep the
new hats in the house. And he says
that after the rain breaks the present
cold wave. up from IS to something
like 90 above. will come a day when
you'd be glad you hadn't put the moth
balls on that fur-lined great coat. and
he says that's likely to so on till the
end of the week.
Then he says there's more spring of
the March kind due. He wouldn't be
the least surprised If winter Tapped
over past the mosquito term this sum-
mer. He says it has Tapped so much
over now that he wouldn't be surprised
to see the blamed thing starting in

BOHEMIAN GIRLS" BIG
FEATURE AT THE EMPIRE.

Melody, mirth, comedy and beaut
were the ingredients Of the gala offer
ing of the Bohemian Girls at Miner
Empire Theatre, which opened thei
weeks engagement yesterday after
noon and last night. A feature of the
evening S the various electrical eff
fects. The costumes worn by the chorus
girls are the most dazzling that has
been seen at the Washington street
theatre for some time. The scenic dis
play was also superb and elaborate in
every detail.
The large array Of beautiful women
in the chorus lends to the brilliancy of
the show. The chorus practically tur-
nist.es the background to the two bur-
lettas. The olio is excellent, or, as you
may say, it is the finest of any that has
come to this city.
Two responsible for the principal
comedy parts were Andy Gardner and
Patsy" Bolivar. The latter received
more applause thar n other in the
entire company. Patsy" is great, and
he is given a welcome every time he
appears upon the stage.
AS an extra attraction the manage
ment engaged Dare Devil Shreyer,
who appeared in a spectacular bicycle
act. He raced Menus Bedell last night
and won. Tonight he meets Floyd
Krebs. Amateur night Friday.
