DOUGLAS BOY is NOW
CHILD PRODIGY IN NEW YORK

Frank Doan Trevor of Syracuse,
N. Y, and formerly of this city,
recently won national recognition by
his lectures in and around Syracuse
on the subject of bird life.
The boy was the. son of Mrs
Florence Doan, who lived in Douglas
for a number Of years. A year ago
she married X. r. Trevor of Syra-
cuse and went to live there. Another
son, La Chance Doan, is better known
here He will graduate from West
Point in June.
Little Frank is u years of age
and the Youngest expert on bird life
The boy has made q study of the
subject since he was tiny child and
is recognized as an authority on Ari-
zona subjects among lads of his age
in New York.
The Post Standard. newspaper
of Syracuse, and three other papers
recently carried long articles on the
boys lectures as We'll as pictures of
him.
Some Of these were received here
by his aunt, Mrs. j. H. Scott.
The Post Standard tells how Frank
sketches his bird life and catalogues
his findings after observation. Dur
ing year in Syracuse he has classi-
fled more than so species of birds in
this manner.
Below is an excerpt from the ac-
count of the boys work given by the
| paper received here:

"T began to read about them as soon
as [ could read at all, and whenever

and climbed into trees where ] could
watch them at close range.
THAT was in Arizona, where there
are lots of birds you never see

that came to take it away. 1 built
bird houses in the yard.

"Once a sparrow got into a house
that was built for chickadee and

three months. Funeral services will

The funeral will be held from the
Porter and Ames chapel at 2:30 o'clock

Mr.. Orton is survived by two daugh-
ters, Mrs. b. H. Robinson, of Douglas,
and Mrs. Edna Bovard, of San Fran

Miss Barbara Bovard, of San Francisco.
Mr.. Orten had been resident of this
section for the past 81 years. He was
formerly connected with the Ell Paso

tional car inspector. His office, built
by the railroad, was the first frame
building to be erected in Douglas.

to harm even the most annoying of
birds, he says Even the sparrows,
crows and catbirds serve a purpose
in eating the grups and bugs which
destroy trees and plants.
IF the farmers VINO complain of
the birds eating their cherries would
plant a few berry bushes near the
fruit trees, they wouldn't be both
cred" he said.
When his father accepted a posi-
tion with the Fl. II. Franklin Manu-
featuring company in Syracuse, a
new field Of observation was opened
TO the young enthusiast. Not only
has he the advantage of the glens
and woods of Onondaga valley, but
he spends much of his time in ithaca,
where his grandfather, Professor Jo-
seph Trevor, is a professor in Cor
nell university.

central New York. he said. The
most beautiful of all is the car
dinal, / think The warblers and
grosbeaks are pretty, too"
Frank does not confine his study
e, t. the smaller birds, but has learned
much about wild gees, pheasants,
eagles and flickers in this section.
He believes that it is possible to
tame birds and gives as an example
an instance Of nut hatch which
sits on his wrist and walks UP his
arm to his shoulder, where it feeds
on suet and nuts
! The boy plans to finish his prepara-
! tory course in schools here and then
( go 20 Cornell university, where he
will continue his nature studies with
a view to becoming an expert in
ornith ology.
He does not permit his interest in
his hobby to take up all his spare

| he is planning to lake the tender
foot test in scouting soon.
