A NEW SOURCE OF HARDWOOD
Junco , Grown In Valley of Rio Grande ,
Will Class With Ebony.
Washington , June 27. The junco is
the missing link of the tree family.
Restricted to a single valley , that of
the Rio Grande , In Mexico and Texas ,
this tree , with Its small crooked trunk
bristling with thorns , Is little known to
the outside world. It Is popularly sup
posed to bear no leaves , flowers , or
fruit , but It really bears all three.
The minute leaves are scale-like , the
flowers very small , and the fruit Is a
tiny berry. The junco , so far as Is
known , has always lived In ono place
and has always been the same
dwarfed , crooked tree that It now Is.
Except as fuel , It has' not been put
to any use. Thousands of cords might
bo cut In the valley of the Rio Grande ,
In Mexico and Texas. Of late , how
ever , the growing scarcity of hard
wood has called attention to the de
spised junco tree as a possible sub
stitute for some of the more popular
woods , and the result Is a surprise to
those who thought the wood had no
commercial value. Clarence A. Miller ,
consul at Matamoras , Mexico , has
called the attention of thls'govcrnment
to the good qualities claimed for It.
The wood sinks In water. In color
it ranges from brown to black. It
receives a high and beautiful polish ,
fitting It to take the place of such
expensive woods as ebony and rose
wood for small cabinet work. The
trunks are so short and crooked that
only small pieces of timber can be ob
tained from them. Few trunks exceed
seven feet in length and eight Inches
In diameter. The wood Is said to be
admirably suited for the keys of musi
cal Instruments , jewel boxes and other
bureau cabinets , chess men , checkers ,
paper knives , knobs nnd other small
turnery , Inlaid work , and Indeed for
almost all purposes for which costly
foreign woods , in small pieces , are new
used.
BUILD MILWAUKEE ENGINES.
Shops Are Working Full Force , TurnIng -
Ing Out New Locomotives.
That the return of normal condi
tions , so far as the construction of
railway equipment Is concerned , Is at
hand , Is evidenced by the following
announcement recently made regarding
the new orders given at the West
Milwaukee car shops of the Chicago ,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway :
"A. E. Manchester , superintendent
of motive power of the Milwaukee &
St. Paul at Milwaukee , has received
orders from headquarters to begin at
once the construction of seventy lo
comotives of the highest type. This
order means an outlay of $1,100,000
nnd will result in restoring to em
ployment at the West Milwaukee
shops of that company the full force
of 5,000 men. "
The seventy engines above men
tioned are of the Prairie typo and
will be used exclusively for freight
son-ice on the new line to the Pacific
coast west of the Missouri river/
In addition to these engines , work
has been started at these shops on
twenty freight engines of the Mikado
typo , as well as on thirty-five switch
engines and 8,500 steel underframo
freight cars , including 1,000 41-foot
steel underframo box cars and 2,500
stock cars.
Ten locomotives per month are
turned out at the West Milwaukee
shops. These new orders mean a
total expenditure of over 14,000,000 ,
and will make It necessary to employ
the full force of 5,000 men usually
employed at the shops. With the
great amount of regular repair work
and construction of now passenger and
freight equipment for use on this rail
way , exclusive of the Pacific coast
line , the West Milwaukee shops will
be working full force during the
greater part of the current year.
A store's advertising Is a part of It's
"public service. " It saves the time of
the shopper , and promotes thrift and
carefulness in buying.
a D. SALTER FINDS NORFOLK HAS
MORE SONG BIRDS.
GOSSIP IN NORFOLK BIRD LAND
Year Shows Increase In Song Birds
Nesting In Norfolk Wrens That Eat
And Drink From Mr. Salter'a
Hand.
"There IH a marked Increase over
previous years In the number of song
birds In nnd nlxnit Norfolk this year. "
So G. H. Snltcr , who Is an authority
'on birds and their habits and who
IH , Incltlcntly n member of the Ne
braska Ornithology Union , says :
"This Increase , " Mr. Sailer continued ,
"Is due to the growth of our shade
trees and the attention given the birds
by many of our citizens In providing
nesting places and protecting from
Ignorant boys and domestic cats. The
greatest enemy to our song birds is
the domestic cat. The cat , not being
properly fed at home , begins to prey
upon the helpless birds and will In a
short time kill an exceedingly large
number of them. I wish every citizen
of this city would take an Interest In
the welfare of birds and do what he
can toward their protection as they
contribute largely toward the benefit
of humanity. "
Mr. Salter has awakened of a mornIng -
Ing and looking from his bedroom
window has recognized six different
species of birds , while within hearing
distance he could distinguish the calls
of several others. He takes great delight -
light In watching the birds build their
nests and , with his guide book and
field glass , can readily classify most
of the birds of this community.
He finds the most Interesting bird
to be the x"chlck-n-dee , " which makes
a sound like "Pee-wee" when calling
its mate. They con bo watched In both
winter and summer and their nests
easily found In the larger trees.
On the porch of Mr. Sailer's home
is the nest of two wrens , which ,
through the kind treatment of their
host , have become tame. He can feed
nnd water them from his hand. Ho
has often watched the birds bathing
while he was watering the lawn , and
noted with Interest how clean they
kept themselves.
The Veery or Wilson thrush Is ono
of the choicest birds known. It has
a wired , plantlve call which can bo
heard toward evening. It builds Its
nest on the ground among the leaves ,
In hemlocks or In tangled masses of
brier.
Birds' food consists mainly of In
sects , bugs , and worms. Their eating
seems to be abnormal. An Incident
Illustrates this. Some bronze grackles -
les which made their home In one of
Mr. Friday's trees , flew to Mr. Sailer's
yard one morning and devoured from
sixty to seventy grub worms In the
few moments they were being watched.
The blue jay Is a pretty bird but Is
an enemy to most of the others , be
cause It preys upon their eggs.
At the corner of Ninth street and
Koenlgsteln avenue in Mr. Valentine's
yard , a bird built a peculiar nest within
arm's reach of one standing on the
porch. No one seemed familiar with
the specie of the bird , so Mr. Salter
was called and he identified it as a
"Vireo. " This bird builds a pendant
nest , slmlliar to the Baltimore oriole.
It Is well woven and often composed
of thirteen or fourteen hundred pieces
of materials. It takes the birds about
three days to build such a nest. These
particular birds were watched closely ,
but their nest must have been dis
turbed for they soon left. No bird will
remain where Its nest has been
touched In any way.
The bird that Is apparently useless
and a great pest Is the English spar
row , which Is multiplying rapidly.
Their food consists mainly of grain.
They should be exterminated and the
only conceivable manner to accomplish
this , Mr. Salter says , la by the con
centrated efforts of the citizens to
prevent their building nests on. their
premises.
There are four hundred species of
birds in the state , most of which can
bo found In or about Norfolk. This
state has such a variety on account of
Its central location.
Mr. Salter sincerely hopes that the
citizens of this city will encourage
the song birds by permitting them to
nest In and about their yards , unmo
lested.
The following Is a list of the moro
common birds which frequent this
vicinity :
Ring-billed gull , blue winded teal ,
green heron , solitary sand piper , bob
white , dove , blue jay , swamp sparrow ,
towhee , cardinal , dlckclssel , grosbeak ,
vlreo , lark , grackle , oriole , king bird ,
goldfinch , sparrow , black bird , crow ,
cow bird thrush , wren , cat bird nnd
blue bird.

GOT FLIP WITH FRED WHITE
Tonsorial Artist Did Not Know at First
Who He Was Up Against.
Sioux City , Juno 27. When Fred S.
White , candidate for governor on the
democratic ticket , went Into a barber
shop for a shave this morning , the
tonsorlal artist whisking a towel under
Mr. White's chin whiskers , thought
he saw.an opportunity for some fun
at the expense of the rural appearing
customer he was about to operate
upon.
Mr. White's tanned countenance and
bleached beard show evidence of con
tact with the wind nnd sun of the
field and he appears exactly what he
is an agriculturist.
"Say , uncle , how's the roads ? " asked
the barber , adopting a nasal twang ,
after the manner of the average stage
comedian who plays Uncle Josh Whit-
comb.
" I believe they are all right , " re
plied Mr. White courteously.
"Any chance for th' crop o * corn ,
d'ye think ? " pursued the barber.
"Mtich more than there Is for you to
become a humorist , " returned Mr.
White pleasantly.
The barber hesitated and then
stepped over to a brother razor wlelder
who had been a wig-wagging him.
"Shut up , you chump. That's the
democratic governor , " he said.
The Joker , red In the face , resumed
his job of shaving , while Mr. White's
chin whiskers were agitated occasion
ally by a ripple of amusement.
ENGINE MADE RECORD.
Northern Pacific Engine In Continuous
Service 166 Hours.
Spokane , Wash. , June 27. Engine
No. 384 , on the North Coast Limited
train , operated by the Northern Pa
cific railway and driven by John A.
Miller and M. Clement , engineers of
Spokane , scored a notable record by
being in continuous service 1C < 5 hours
and 25 minutes during the recent
floods In Montana , when It pulled a
train of nine coaches over six lines ,
a distance of 2,107 miles between
Spokane and Fargo , N. D. , and thence
to Billings , Mont. The 175 marooned
passengers were cared for by coa
ductors Harry C. Peck and H. P.
Lltchfleld of Spokane , who were assisted -
sisted by D. C. Bradley nnd M. O. Lee ,
brakemen. The passengers presented
a purse of $100 to the crows. Part of
the train left the track because o'f
spreading rails. In moro than ono
Instance the passengers believed they
were being carried Into the raging tor
rents as the sides of the coaches
scraped the hanging banks In cuts but
no mishaps followed. The nlklll water
ruined the holler of the locomotive ,
which has been consigned to the round
house for general overhauling and will
bo put Into service In a couple of
weeks.

MASTER MASONS ATTEND SER
VICES IN A BODY.
DR. C. W. RAY DELIVERS SERMON
Methodist Pastor Preaches to Mem
bers of Mosaic Lodge on Friend
ship with God , with Country and
with Neighbors.
St. Johns' day , the first day In the
Masonic calendar , was observed Sun
day by the iiKMiibors of Mosaic lodge
attending service nt the Methodist
church , where Dr. C. W. Ray de
livered a special sermon. The Master
Musons , clad In the regalia of their
order , marched to the church In a
body.
Dr. Ray's subject was "Tho Clrclo
of Great Friends. " Ho said In part :
"I am glad to welcome you ns
members of the order of the Ancient
Free and Accepted Masons hero for
this service In observing St. Johns'
day. I hope this subject will bo of
help and Inspiration to every ono In
worshiping and serving God hereafter.
"There are some people who are
forever making friends and forever
losing them. I consider the making of
a friend a great achievement , for It
Is an eternal and everlasting Inheri
tance. It Is greater to make a friend
than was the battle of Waterloo or
Gettysburg ; for these were conquests
of one enemy against another but this
Is the linking of two souls In one
great bond.
"True friends look out from human
nature , the blue sky and beyond the
starry sky to a happy meeting as ex
pressed in tlio sacrifice of Ion , the
death devoted Greek. When about to
yield his life ns an offering to fate his
beloved Clemanthe asked If they
should not meet again and ho nns'
wercd , 'I have asked that dreadful
question of the hills that look eternal ,
of the streams that flow forever , of
the stars among whoso fields of azure
my raised spirit walked In glory ; all
were dumb. Yet while I gaze upon
thy face there Is a love that mantles
then Its beauty that cannot wholly
perish. We shall meet again , Clem
anthe. '
"Thousands are looking for true
friends today ; those who will not sell
out , betray or forsake when they are
needed but who will bo true , strong ,
mighty and Godly. How much such
true men nnd women are needed to
day ns leaders In clubs , societies ,
lodges nnd churches.
"Here Is the secret of a great
friendship : 'And there went with him
a band of men whose hearts God had
touched. ' Friendship with the dis
honest , Impure , fickle and unchaste
will fall you in the hour of great need.
If there are people in a club , lodge or
church who are enemies to each other ,
these always cause trouble sooner or
later.
"I believe friendships are made in
heaven.
"It Is a great thing to have a coun
try for a friend and carry a passport
with you in a country like Turkey or
Russia and know that your country
demands for you protection and
safety. I know the value of this my
self for I saw people denied the rights
I enjoyed in Turkey last year be
cause I had a passport and they had
none.
"So It Is when you have God as your
friend when your soul passes out
into eternity It will be beset by many
evil spirits but if you are God's friend
then all the hosts of haven will be
sent to protect you. That your circle
of friends be complete you must admit
God , the father , and Christ , the son.
And If you Masons do this you have
the promise of God's eternal blessings.
"What are the conditions to this ?
First , we are to accept the divine
truths of God as a part of our dally
practice. It must be the foundation
or the building crumbles and falls
away.
"Then there Is fortitude , for often
we must endure and suffer for our
friends. It is God-like so to do.
"Then there Is that love which
reaches out and considers the human
race one great family and which be-
lives that we owe a duty to each
member of it , to support and help , to
try to make each life better and hap
pier.
"We must be temperate ; the con
duct must be controlled by the spirit
of God. Many a man and woman have
gone down to shame and disgrace
through Intemperance. Wo must be
temperate In all affairs.
"There Is the virtue of prudence ;
the performance of right relations
with all people and the full discharge
of every Christian duty. We must
ever remember that Justice hangs
over us , that every deed and act of
ours tips the balanced scales cither
towards good or bad.
"As you look at the hour glass and
see the sands dropping through , you
are reminded thnt life is dropping
into eternity. For the three stages
soon pass and youth , manhood nnd
old ngo Is the ever repeated story of
human life.
"As Masons you owe a duty to God ,
your neighbors and yourselves ; so
then be brave and loyal to perform
your duties as God has revealed them
to you. In parting I pray God to make
you all loyal Christians every day of
jour earthly pilgrimage. "
The services were marked by
special music.

TRAMPS TAKEJJREAT CHANCES
They Dive Into the Undergear of
Trains at High Speed.
Tlio ordinary tramp will take
chances on his life In dropping in
under n car , upon the bumpers , that
make the hair on most railroad men's
heads stand straight up. Speed has
no terrors for these dare-devils. They
will without wincing Jump Into the
undergear of a train moving at speed
so high that a trained and veteran
railroad man wouldn't even think of
Jumping on at the rear end of the
caboose.
"You can't keep them off , " said an
old time Norfolk conductor. "They
will stand around until after the train
starts and then , even when It gets up
such high speed as to be dangerous
to think of catching on the way car
steps , will swing easily and uncon
cernedly Into the Iron underwork of
the car , as though they were merely
lying down in their downy cots at
night for a comfortable rest.
"The tramps become such experts
at this train-climbing game as to amaze
old-time trainmen. You will see a
tramp lunge Into the gearing of a car ,
moving at high speed , just as an acrobat
bat in the circus dives through the air
from one trapeze to another. You will
expect the next moment to see Mr.
Tramp ground into bits. But that's
where your guess goes wrong. For
the tramp lands safely on his iron
bunk and stays there complacently
until the next station is reached. They
get to be wizards at it. "
