v. S. TO PROTECT MIGRATORY
BIRDS.
Millions of Dollars Can be Saved.

Millions OF Dollars Can be Saved.
Washington, July 2.-Bills to pro-
vide federal protection for migratory
birds, which were introduced in the
United States senate by Senator Nc
Lean and in the house. by Congressman
Weeks, have both been reported favor
able out of committee.
In urging the necessity Of this legis-
lstion, the American Game Protective
and Propagation association Of New
York City says:
Millions of dollars can annually be
saved to the people of the United
States by wise and conservative treat
ment of the enormous natural re-
sources represented by our migrants.
Under present conditions countless
numbers of ducks, geese and shore
birds are slaughtered at a time when
every female killed means the destruc-
tion of a small flock. All all times the
killing goes on at rate that is out OF
all proportion to the natural increase
According to the game warden Of
Louisiana, there were 4,265, 585 ducks,
geese and shore birds killed in that
state during the winter of 1910 and II,
"Game commissioners and other
officials representing 43 states, together
with some Of the leading ornithologistf
of the country, argued for the bills.
1.-The annual loss to the country
through insect pests amounts to from
$795, 200, 900 to $500, 900, 600. There are
about 600 colleges in the United States
Their value is estimated at $500 600, ,00(
and the endowments at $219, 100000. II
they should be destroyed tomorrow
buildings and endowments-the insect
tax of one year would replace them
and leave balance sufficient to endov
80 new universities in the sum of $40,
000, 900 each"

distance. The services were in charge
of Rev. G. II. Hanks and his words, like
the beautiful flowers which covered the
casket and filed large part of the
room, were a comfort to the family and
friends, portraying with simple elo-
quence in most accurate manner the
life of the departed, the regard of

Fred Osburn was born at Meadville,

the time he was stricken by his fatal
sickness Attentive TO business, strict.
ly honest, always ready with the
friendly greeting to every patron, re-
gardine his word as his best business
asset, Fred Osburn gained a warm spot
in the hearts Of hundreds of people who
deemed it pleasure to meet him in a
business or social way and his going
brought sorrow to all. Outsids the
cares of business his home was first IN
his mind and he was never happier
than when surrounded with his family
and friends in the same. A member oi
two fraternal orders he occasionally
enjoyed their sessions but never when
his presence would be missed at home
at the same time always loyal to any
calls which came to him from these
orders The friend of scores of child

Blue Ribbon Races.

Trotters and PAGERS in training never
have shown as much vitality during the
waning days of this long and trying
preparation as they are at this time.
Generally the last part of June brings
from all Of the big tracks where the
famous drivers are engaged, reports of
ailina horses This year the physical
condition of the campaigners is excel
lent, few are on the hospital list from
lameness, and all seem to have unusual
vigor and speed:
This condition foretells large fields
and exceptional contests for Detroit's
annual midsummer carnival Of speed,
the Blue Ribbon races, which this year
will be held from July % to 26. The
entry in the stakes was the largest in
the history of the club and the percent
age of horses on which third payments
have been made also is the greatest, 80
the racing of these and other events on
the program should produce sport Of
the sparkling sort.
While the Merchants d Manufactur-
ers' and Chamber of Commerce stakes
are the centers of attraction, for they
stand unrivalled on the light harness
turf, the program for the Blue Ribbon
meeting is such that every day may be
spoken of as big day. There are from
two to three star races for each of the
FIVE afternoons, therefore if person ia
unable to be in Detroit on one day he
will see just as good racing on another.
This is q convenience to the people in the
state who make an annual pilgrimage to
the Detroit meeting, and from the hotel
reservations the number of visitors will
be unusual. Signs of the times point
to this as the banner year for the sport
of the sulky and the Detroit Driving
Club may be relied upon to maintain
the standard which has made the Blue
Ribbon races world famous.

ToNoPAH SCHOOLS MAY BE
NO EXCEPTION TO RULE

In many cities the superintendent
of schools have issued instructions
forbidding young girls to use pow
der, rouge or alleged beautifiers of
any kind. II the young ladies come
to classes so painted or adorned they
are compelled TO wash their faces
and appear natural. 1t is a most
excellent order. II there is any sight
more pitiful than young girl with
the freshness OF youth blotted out
by the use of paint and powder we
have failed to notice 1t. To sacri-
flee the gift of nature by the use of
cosmetics amounts almost to crime.

LovETT DECLARES THAT THE
SIERRA TUNNEL is LIKELY

Chairman Robert S. Lovett of the
board Of directors of the Southern
Pacific company has declared that
he and his associates were consider
ing the building of the much-talked
of 30,000-foot tunnel through the 81
ezra Nevada mountains at point be-
tween Truckee and Blue Canyon.
This tunnel will be about five
miles in length and will be the long
est tunnel on the continent. Lovett
intimated the cost would be in excess
of $10,OO0,OOO. Trains propelled by
electric power will have to be used
in the big mountain boRf, The main
object for having the tunnel is to
cut down about 1000 feet of the
present mountain grade. The point
picked out for its location will ne
cessitate a big change in the pres
ent line between Truckee and Blue
