The Last Wild Pigeon Dead.

That the last survivor Of the mil
lions of wild pigeons which years
ago inhabitated eastern United
States, has just died, was the an.
nouncement made by r. Gilbert Pear
son. Gecretary of the National AS
ISOLATION of Audubon Societies. The
vast flocks of these birds which a
generation ago were the ornithologi-
cal wonder of the world, have, en-
tirely disappeared, and at 2 O'Clock
p. m, on September 1, the last in
dividual died in the Geological Gar
dens at Cincinnati. 1t was female
and was Matched in captivity 29
years ago.
"This marks the absolute extinc-
ton Of another species Of North
American BIRDS" said Mr.. Pearson.
"Many theories have been advanced
as to the cause of the disappear
ance Of the myriads Of pigeons once
seen in this country, but there is
absolutely only one cause, they have
been wiped out by the traps, nets
and guns of American hunters"
The Audubon Association, which is
laboling for the protection Of wild
birds, has issued large picture Of
the wild pigeon in colors. This, to-
Eethcr with a full account Of the his
tory Of these birds viii be mailed

the cotton grower has had since the
war broke out. The very feeling of II
stiffens business conditions in the
South.
II was emphasized at Washington
that any help to be effective, must
be given right now. Moreover, il
was emphasized at the conference
that the man to bo helped was the
cotton grower. the man who produces
the cotton, and who Is now deprived
Of his market. It was also en-
phasized and this by President Will
son, that aid by the government is
not for the purpose Of rescuing the
cotton planter, but it is for the pur-
pose of giving him means to tide
him over the present emergency
The attendants at the conference
brought any number of plans of
operation, but all were characterized
by the same feature, that cotton be
made acceptable security for loans
through banks from government
funds. The "valorization" Of cotton

There is no truth to the repors, now

considerable real estate in Washing

there. The considerable" real cs,

TWO BARNS BURN

er's barn, about four miles north of
Silver Lake, burned down last Satur-

were six loads Of hay in the barn,
which burned, and also n fine team of
mules which burned to death.
Mr.. Tom Cleveland's barn burned
the same night, and about four hun
bred bales of hay were burned. The
two barns being in the same neighbor-
hood caused the people to believe
that it was probably incendary.
