Mexico Missouri message., 1914-01-15


In addition to his non-importation
laws, Uncle Sam Is doing a great deal
to protect the birds of this country.
There are now national bird reserves
in many parts of the United States,
reserves set aside so that during the
breeding season at least the song
sters, the insect eaters, the seed eat
young in peace, free from the terrors
OF the nest robber and the plume
hunter
During the past year seven new ma
tional bird reservations have been es-
tablished by the president OF the
United States. There are now CO OF
these reservations, and the good that
they are doing is manifest in the in
creased number of birds which year
ly make their migratory flight, The
new reservations are as follows:
Chamisso island, in Alaska; Pishkun,
in Montana; Desecheo island. In Porto
Rico; Gravel island, on Green bay, in
Wisconsin; Aleutian islands. in Alas
ka; Walker lake, in Arkansas; and
Tetit Bcis island, in Alabama. These
lew reservations are important breed
ing sites for certain species OF Wild
birds.
The reservation embracing the
islands OF the Aleutian chain situated
between the north Pacific ocean and
Behring sea. was set apart not only
as breeding place for native birds,
but for the propagation of reindeer
and fur-bearing animals and also for
the development OF the fisheries.

Can The Titanic. Be Raised?

Mr.. Chas. A. Smith, Denver,
Colorado Engineer, Believes it
can.
Our readers all remember the
sinking of the Titanic and the
awful loss of life that attended it.
For over two yexrs this Ship OF
Death" has lain beneath two hum
bred feet of old ocean.
Comes now an engineer named
Smith, of Denver, Colorado, wEo
believes the sea monster can be
raised, and wants to undertake the
job.
In a three column article on an
other page in this issue of The
Democrat Mr.. Smith gives facts
and figures to substantinate his
theory. In the same article the
New York Sun gives what it
believes to be the objections to the
scheme, 1t is a very interesting
and instructive article, and we
hope none of our readers will
overlook it.
If you fail to read The Dem,
ocrat carefully each week, you
miss some mighty good things.
