NEW YORK Peter Paulson lived 11 days at St. Vincent's Hospital with a piece of gauze stuffed into bis heart to stop leakage of blood from a stab wound. Ho waB recovering when blood poisoning killed him. IF, in tho general economy of nature, provision had been made for but one bird,' several have expressed them selves as of tho opinion that that bird would haye ben the Bobwhite. The sweetness ol! its talk, tho gentleness of its disposition and the wonderful value to thefarmer, tho tnnberman and horticulturist of this species ot bird life warrant such an .expression. The alarm that has been recently sounded, that the gypsy moth and the brown tail motli are swooping upon us, forcibly directs our attention to the bo own it c as an instrument of protection against such a dire calamity. The bobwhite, eonsequently,"is among our protected birds. When one realizes that tho annual loss sustained in this country by weeds and insects is in excess of $S00, 000,000, and Hint the natural diet of the bobwhite is weed seed and insects, he will appreciate the enormous saving this bird would bo to tho country at large, whore it pro tected and propagated with care. A scientific investigation of the food ot the bobwhite reveals the startling fact that nine birds consumed, among other things, in ono day, tho following: liJoO ilies, oOOv) aphids, izbb rose slugs, 37 grasshoppers, 2400 pigeon grass seeds, Go black crickets, 84 large and medium sized grass hoppers, 700 insects, 300 of which were grasshoppers 151V2 insects, 1000 ot which were grasshoppers ,and 4b grass hoppers. The bobwhite is known to eat 135 different insects, most of which are of the injurious type. Potato bugs, cu cumber beetles, cut worms, army worms, wire worms, chinch bugs and cotton boll weevil are among them. A careful estimate shows that this bird will average 75,000 insects and 5,000,000 weed-seeds during the year. It is now in contemplation by State Game Warden, William L. ITinley, to release a large number of these game birds and supply bobwhite eirtis to funnel's who will agree to allow them to be hatched by their hens and protect them while young, finally permitting them to wander at their leisure to all parts of their farms. Tn this way, a system of natural propagation will be devised that will be of tremendous benefit to all parts of the state. Inasmuch as Oregon seems to be a favorite haunt of the bobwhite and is known to lay as many as 100 eggs in a single season, some conception is had of the good work that might be accomplished through this method. In addition to the above menu of the bobwhite, there stands out the important fact that in countries where the gypsy and brown tail moths have swarmed, the bobwhite is their worst enemy. Mr. Pulley's scheme to encourage their propagation by a strictly natural method, without involving any other expense than the cost of the eggs and the assurance that they will be properly hatched Ir responsible parties, will be of interest to every man, wo man and child in this state. LOW RATES FOR SETTLERS SOON Colonist Season Will Open Septem ber 15 nnil Continue for One Month Low Rates Also From Portland. The colonist season this yoar will open September 1," and will continue until October 15. Tho rales nro ex tremely low and no doubt a great in flux of settlers will result. A settler's rate w alio granted be tween Portland and Medford to par ties of five or more traveling to gether on ono ticket at faro of .f Ul.ftO for the round trip. Tickets sold at this last mentioned rate carry a final return limit of 10 days from dato of sale and require continuous passage on going trip, but permit of stopovers returning within limit. The Medfonl Commercial Club has started on nti active campaign to teach easterners in time for them to take advantage of the low fares.

To tho Editor: The question of the government operating the coal mines of Alaska in tho interest qf the people Is ono that not only is arousing com ment, but at the same time Is crystal ling into action. The states ot both Washington and Oregon taking action to Induce the government to operate said mines' and sell tho coal to tho citizens of these respcctlvo states at actual cost of operation. It is main tained In defense of this courso that this would prevent a coal monoply from acquiring control of some. That It would operate to break up tho fuel trust, and that by giving cheap fuel to the citizens of the north west that many new Industries now undeveloped would Immediately be come active and that these resources would In Bhort, draw much capital and many people to tho north west. All of which from a narrow and sel fish point of view sounds very Invit ing. But Is It wlso statesmanship? That Is the question. Do you advocate tho policy of tho government entering Into commercial relations with her cltlzcnB to tho ex tent of supplying them with the nec essities of Hfo at cost? This Is one of the questions of the ago, and this Is just what you are asking. It has always been maintained that the purview of government was to vouchsafe to her citizens their per sonal rights, which callH for protec tion of person, and defense of prop erty. But this new request Is to tho effect that the government enter In to now relations with hor citizens and proceed to supply them with tho nec essities of life. What Is the legiti mate termlnitlon of this policy? Why with coal and why not with all re sources? If it Is wise policy that tho government operate tho coal mines at coat and so break up tho fuel trust. It Is not equally wlso that tho govern ment establish and operate saw mills In her lumbor forests? and thus not only prevent some monopoly from ac quiring them but would also oporato to break up tho lumber trust. Would It not bo equally wlso that tho government sink oil wells on her great domains rofino samo and soli It to her citizens at cost and so break up tho oil trust? Would It not bo equally wlso for tho government to reclaim much of her arid lands raise fcugar beets oporato sugar factories und hell sugar to tho pcoplo at cost and so break up tho sugar trust? Or still to develop tho great undeveloped domain and produce tho food supplies of life at cost' and bo rcduco the prlco of living? The wool tarrlff question could bo quickly settled tho samo way. But it Is wise? and aro wo prepared or such a step? The government has always recog nlrcd legitimate proflto In nil trade transactions. But what will bo the effect upon tho great coal fields of the state of Washington should the government be able to mine coal In Alaska and lay It down In Seattlo or Portland 25 cents a ton cheaper than could be done by tho mines of the state, and supposing tho quantities of coal in Alaska were so great that this co.ild be kept up for an almost In terminable period. Would not tho ac tion oi tho government bo equlvolcnt to confiscation of tho values already Invented in all coal mines that must necessalrly come In competition with this coal which Is mined by the gov ernment? and would not tho govern ment In justlco to these ,m!no owners be competed to purchaso these mines also and operate them along the same policy? ThlB would put Into effect a policy that would eventually end In tho government owning and operating all the coal mines in tho Unltod States and tho samo result with regard to other commodity above mentioned Again to ask that this Alaska coal be operated and sold to tho people of Washington and Oregon at cost of operation Is really equlvolcnt to say ing that tho pcoplo of these two itates own this coal and want the gov ernment to operato It for them, or olse that they aro asking tho government to give them something that tho gov ernment Is not prepared to givo to every ono else. In fact It Is my op inion that tho citizens of Seattle, Ta- coma and Portland would profit much uioro by this operation than would tho remainder ot the citizens of theso respcctlvo states. Let iih Hiipposo that tho govern ment still held largo lumber forerits In tho state of .Maine, If you wero a congressman would you favor tho government working this Into lumbor ane selling In to Now York at coal? Would you not at once hollow, "waste of national resources". You certainly would. Then why ask congress to do for you what you would not do for somo ono clso? No a thoiiKand Union no! and If Senator Polndoxter of Washington wishes to urgo tho cltl zons of that slnto to potitlnn for tho same, and if tho editor of tho Oregon Journal wants to sturt something of that kind und if Mayor RuHhllght and Governor West wish to petition foran Alaska coal commission whoso duties will bo to put Into effect such a policy, then tho groat northwest is Invited "lo keep their car pretty closo to thu ground and hear something drbp when thoso petitions get to WuHhlng ton.
