This is the timberman's view and it

Medford has been strengthened in
her belief that she is to have a Hill
line by the presence within her gates
this week of Judge Burke of Seattle.

Judge Thomas Burke of Seattle.
counsel for the Hill lines in Wash

and according to Attorney w. ]. Can
ton took the initial steps for the pur-
chase of the Rogue River Valley rail-
road owned BY the Barnums of Jack
sonville.
Judge Burke made tour of in
spection of the Barnum line, and ac-
cording to Attorney Canton and Bill
Barnum has offered $125, 900 for the
right of way, track. equipment, title,
etc.
THE Barnums refused to talk on
the deal except to say that Judge
Burke inspected the line and made
an offer They said the deal had
been hanging fire for over a year.
THE purchase of the Barnum road
would give the Hill interests a prac-
tically unbroken track from Butte
Falls to Jacksonville, with a line
through the city, and mean the tap
ping of the Applegate and Blue Ledge
country, and on to Crescent City"

DRAINAGE DITCH

Vermilion, May 16.-Preliminary
steps in connection with the con
struction of a proposed drainage
ditch which is estimated to cost
about 100000 will be taken at a
joint meeting of the members of the
boards of county commissioners of
Clay and Yankton counties, to be
held May %. 1t is expected that not
less than n hundred and fifty farm
ers from the region to be trayersed
by the proposed canal will be pres
ent, some to favor the project and
others to protest against it's construc-
ton. Ii is said that those opposed
TO the project will present figures
showing that the construction OF the
proposed ditch will damage their
farms to the aggregate of not less
than 100000. 1t is reported that
the farmers who are opposed to the
construction of the ditch have engag-
ed some of the leading attorneys of
the state to be present and set forth
the reasons why they do not wish the

KILLING

Sioux Falls Argus Leader: 1T
has come to my attention" said
Chauncey Tuthill, of the Tuthill
Lumber company, that some of the
small boys of Sioux Falls have dur
ing the last few days been shooting
and killing songbirds-birds that are
almost worth their weight in gold. |
am wondering if these boys know
that when they kill such birds they
are not only doing a cruel and an
unmanly thing, but that i'm addition
they are violating a state and federal
law. Only a few weeks & a banker
of this state was fined heavily for
shooting birds protected by the fed
eral law. | do not want to report
the particular case | have in mind to
the officers of the law, but if the
practice is continued / do not see how
/ can be a good citizen and fail to
call the attention of the proper of
ficers to it,"
The Argus-Leader hopes that all
parents who read the above will have
a talk with their boys on the bird
question, explaining the economic
value OF the song bird, the cruelty
involved in it's killing, the risk taken
of a heavy fine by both state and
United States government, and will
enlist the boys in a brigade for the
protection of the birds. Never be-
fore were the song birds so plentiful
in Sioux Falls as they are now. This
is because of the protection afforded
them by the law. Public sentiment
will not tolerate the killing of song
birds in Sioux Falls.

lost melody his song thrills gently
from a softly vibrant throat. He is
as unobstrusive as a glad, gold ray
of sunlight, and his very reticense
and modest poise make him a con-
vincing figure.

somehow the faint odor OF swelling

a sweet flutter of wings.

VALUE OF HAWKS AND WRENS.

VALUE OF HAWKS AND WRENS.
In a leading editorial in the Week
ly Record, Stella, Missouri, the writer
seeks to dissuade boys from cruelty
and thoughtlessly killing ~insect-eat-
ing birds and robbing their nests of
eggs and young, and cites these in
stances which came under his own
observation:
We were sitting on the porch one
day in the spring. A pair of wrens
had built their nest on a beam just
overhead and in that nest were four
little wrens just out of the shells.
The parent birds seemed very happy
over this ~featherless progeny which
did not look as if it could be of any
benefit at all to the great, strong
man so able to take are of himself
and all he owned.
Soon one of the old birds flew into
the nest, holding something in its
mouth. Curious to know what it was
feeding its young on, | looked closely
and saw a large, fat cutworm placed
in the birdling's bill by the parent.
Ii watched closely and saw the old
birds bring in from the nearby gar
den, twenty-seven large cutworms
which were ~greedily swallowed by
the youngsters.
Another experience, not with a
songster, but with a graceful little
sparrow hawk, happened in the win
ter when a friend was hauling from
a nearby field some shock fodder.
The shocks of corn were infested
with mice. and just as sure as a
mouse left the shock and ran any
distance, the little hawk shot like an
arrow from its perch on a dead tree
and, quicker than the eye could flash,
had the mouse in his talons. 1t took
only a minute FOR the eating, when
the hawk was ready for another
swoop. This was kept up for more
than an hour. Some ten or fifteen
mice were killed, thereby saving the
farmer much corn and other grain.
