BIRDS MUST BE PROTECTED
Evils That Have Followed in the Train
Of Promiscuous Slaughter Of
Feathered Creatures.

The reciprocal relations between
different departments OF nature is a
subject worthy of deep study, for
through such involuntary cooperation
there come results of great economic
value t o our race: PromisCuous kill
ing of birds allows insect pests to de
stroy both forest and orchard, whi's
the slaughter Of forests and trees in
general results In %lessening the multi.
plication OF birds because Of lack OF
shelter and natural surroundings.
John Davey, now travelling over the
country in the interests of the Refor-
estation Band of America. says:
One hundred million dollars yearly
is the price we pay for the activities
of the tree butcher. The decrease in
the number of native song birds has
resulted in the elimination of trees
from cities and towns. The band pur.
poses to interest the children of Can
Ada and this country in the culture OF
trees. and the protection of useful ma
tive birds. In this way We are pre-
pairing a more effective plan for the
restoration of the forests h could
be effected by the setting aside of 100
forest reservations"

leaxes Purify Air.

1t has been calculated that. a single
tree is able through its leaves to puri
fy the air from the carbonic acid
arising from the re.sFiraticn OF a con
siderable number of men, perhaps Z
dozen or even more.
The volume of carbonic acid ex'
hailed by a human being in the course
Of "a hours is put at about 100 gal
Ions; but by Boussingault's estimate,
4 single square yard of leaf-surface'
counting both the upper and under
sides Of the leaves. can. under favor
able circumstances. decompose al
least q gallon of carbonic acid in Z
day. One hundred square yards Of
leaf-surface then would sufice to
keep the air pure for one man, but
the leaves OF 4 tree Of moderate size
present a surface OF many hundred
square yards.-Scientifc American.

Parks Lessen Fire Risks.

In connection with then parks and
the city's prospective growth 1t should
be pointed out that the parks have .
fire insurance value. This is = Tact
which. seldom taken into account. Is
nevertheless, apparent on a moments
reflection. No greater Are barrier can
be made. invented or built, than a
wide stretch Of park land. The danger
of confagration is lessened. This WAS
distinctly proyen in the great San
Francisco fire where flames stopped
short at the edge Of parkways. In
Baltimore one or two parks would
have paid for themselves during that
city's unfortunate confagration.

eassENr Pa,cEs OF COTTON.

The continued depre ssinn OF
the price of cotton eau b. attrl-
buted to two clusas, FIRST, the
size of the crop. Second, to the
financial condition of the cotton
mills.
Facts pile up to establish the
contention of those who estimate
the present crop as the largest
grown in the history of cotton
production in this country. The
ginner's report of seven and
three quarter millions ginned to
October 25th, indicates that the
maximum for former years will
be exceeded when the final re-
port is made Of the 1911 crop. 1t
is difficult, however, for any Sec
ton that has a poor crop to real
ize that the crop will be a bum
per one. We have labored UNI
der the impression in this section
that the crop would be short, but
the yield has already surpassed
our expectations. and it is evil
dent that we will gather a heav-
Ter crop than was made last
year.
AS to the cotton mills. The
latter have held the hot end of
the poker during the period of
high prices. Manufactured goods
have not advanced with the raw
material and many of the mills
have found it difficult to continue
business. All of them have not
been able to do so, and these are
now in the hands of receivers.
The mills are no longer able to
borrow money with which to
carry large stocks of cotton. but
are forced to buy for daily con.
sumption. These purchases are
light and as a result the demand
for spots has been exceedingly
light. The trading public has
not been disposed to stand raise
on manufactured goods and he
mills are powerless unless they
! get relief from the man who
buys cotton goods for himself
and family. The south does not
want five cent calico nor domes-
tic, and if a higher price is main
tanned for the raw mat raj IT,
cotton manu- 'ac urer must have
more for his goods.

In his proclamation Gov. Noel
submitted only two questions

The first of these, and the only
sone over which there will be a
division Of sentiment, is the
sques.ion Of whether or not the
Sstate shall pay the interest on
the bonds sold which the treas
surer refused to pay and was sus-
stained by the supreme court.
The other question is an appre-
priation to defray the expenses

scalled out by the governor to
Eguard the Illinois Central railroad
against any effort of the strik-
ing railroad men to destroy the
property of the company. This
appropriation will be made with

BOARD OF. APPRAISERS
LOOKS over BER1HOLD

Ryder, N. D., March 2S.-The board
of appraisers, which is to inspect,
classify and appraise unallotted lands
on the Fort Berthold reservation, held
their first meeting at Elbowoods. The
members of this board are B. A. Dick
inson of Ryder; Tom Smith of the
Fort Berthold reservation, and Spec
ial Allotting Agent c. H. Bates CT the
Pine Ridge reservation, South Dakota.
Mr. Bates was chosen chairman of
the board owing to his past exper-
fence in these matters.
Not much work was done at this
meeting except to maze plans for
future work and decide what was
necessary in the way of equipment.
1t was decided to make Ryder the
headquarters of the board for the pres
ent, until conditions are such that they

LOOKING FOR WIFE Of
king george Of ENG.

Spokane, WASH, March 2S.-Secret
agents, presumably attached to Scot
land Yard and eastern detective bur-
eaus, are searching Washington and
Oregon for Mrs. Trevelyan Napier,
daughter of Admiral Seymour, and al
legged morganatic wife of King George
of England.
The Spokane police admit that one
operative, bearing bona fide creden-
tials, has been in eastern Washington
for week and his inquiries, they add
indicate he is looking for the admir-
ais daughter, though he declined to
state his mission in this part of the
country. The theory advanced by To-
cal detectives is that the secret agents
seek to prevent Mrs. Napier disclos-
ing her identity.
The Inland Herald of Spokane.
which published the first intimation Of
the agents movements in the state
of Washington, declares that the pos
sibility of Spokane harboring Mrs.
Napier easily could be a fact and
discretion keeps the secret hidden.
"Just who is employing the secret
agent Is not given out" the paper
adds, but it is claimed by the po-
lice that his credentials are genu.
ine."

fARMERPLACEDI
UNDER ARREST

Pembina, N. D., March 2S.-John
Crawford was brought to the county
Jail this week on charge of arson and
in default of bail of $4,000.
Last week was mentioned the burn
ing Of the residence of his father,
David Crawford of Bowesmont. At
that time the cause of the fire was
supposed to. be the explosion of an
air tight stove. The father was alb.
sent on a visit and the son was liv.
ing in the house.
The evidence before the Justice at
Drayton disclosed the fact that the
son had made some damaging state
ments and one witness said that he
had been offered money to set the
building en- fire by the son.
David Crawford bought the building
and contents from lady who moved
away last year and who still has the
largest equity in the property. The
insurance of $1,000 would be entirely
hers under the usual conditions of
policies, and it is hard to find a mo.
tive for the deliberate crime, if it is
such.
There is also some floating evidence
to the effect that the accused is not
too we'll balanced in his. mental fac
ulties. He is "a years old.

HETIINGER Co.
swept BY fire

New England, N. D., March 2S.-
A destructive prairie fire Saturday,
swept the country south Of Regent
from Teepee Buttea to Lennon,
leaving a damaged stricken path
from four to ten miles wide.
Many settlers had their homes and
buildings destroyed and much stock
succumbed to the flames, but fortu-
nately no human fatalities are report
ed, although some narrow escapes
were rumored.
The heaviest loss known was sus-
tanned by Ludwig Peterson, about 8
miles southwest of Regent, who lost
all his buildings, including new, two
story residence, just completed last
fall at cost of $4,000 in addition to
grain, harness, hogs and $500 in ne
gotiable papers. Mrs. Peterson was
sick in bed and alone in the house
with children and but for the arrival
of timely assistance would have been
overcome.
Oscar Olson lost his barn, granary,
seed grain and set of harness as we'll
as several stacks of hay. Unfortu-
nately Mr.. Olson is poor. The loss is
particularly heavy in his case, and
steps should be taken for his relief.
Henry Rhames had his barn and
hay destroyed, while Fred Schwib-
bic lost five ton of hay.
Numerous smaller losses are re-
ported which space forbids to men,
