At a meeting of th Alton City Council
Saturday evening a. report was received

This money, according to the report of
the experts, was In the city license ac
count. The experts aUso reported that the
accounts of toveral of the other officials
were not In a clear condition, owing large
ly to a bad system of bookkeeping, and a
recommendation was made that th sjs
tem of bookkeeping bo changed.
After the report nad been rectived the
Council ordered Corporation Counselor J..
1). Yager to Institute suit against former
Comptroller Gosrau for J1.503 charged
against Ills office, and also to lay the re
port of the experts before the Grand Jury
of the Madison County Circuit Court at

The Council also received a petition and
an ordinance for the appointment of a
Milk Inspector, but action was deferred
until the next meeting.
A protest was filed by some of the property-owners
of Upper Belle street against
the paving of that section of the street
from Sixteenth street to the city limits.
The Council voted to grant the prayer of
the petition.

THE SONG OF BIRDS.
Effect of Separating Nrstllnirs From
Others ot Their Klad.
Professor Fcott ot Princeton has
made rniuij' experiments with wild
bird In the last few years to deter
mine how far their song was an imita
tion of that which they heard while
living among their relatives. By tak
ing npwly hatched broods into his
houe before they had a chance to be
thus influenced he was able to make
significant observations.
He had a brood of boliolinkp and two
broods of red-winged blackbirds. The
blackbirds were about a week old
when captured, but the hobolinks had
been hatched only four days. All of
them were taken eaily last June. The
blackbirds and bobolinks were con
fined In separate places, the former
having the freedom of a large room,
while the bobolinkf. were in a spacious
cage. The former began to sing in
Septemlier and the latter in Novem
ber. Professor Scott purposely allowed
them to hear the songs of bird of
other species, but tried he thinks suc
cessfully to keep them from hearing
the notes of any of their own kind.
The following story is bused on three
weeks observation of the bobolinks
and six weeks' observation of the
blackbirds:
Care has been taken to have com
petent judges, well acquainted with
the song of both species, listen to the
song of these birds without seeing the
singers. In no instance was the song
n cognized; one listener ascribed the
song of two red-winged blackbirds to
the brown thrasher, aud was wholly
unable to form an opinion as to what
birds were singing when listening to
the performance of two bobolinks. It
should be stated that there were but
two males of each of the species in
question from the broods that had been
reared.
The bong of the lololInks is loud
and brilliant as well as sustained;
that of the red-winded blackbirds is
even of greater volume, and may be
best described as continuous.
A word seems essential as to the call
notes of the two kinds of birds in
question. I have failed to distinguish
anything that resembles the call note
of the boltolink in its wild state, nor
any sound that emanates from the two
representatives of this species that are
under observation which could lie re
ferred to bobolinks in a wild state. The
interval of the notes and the duration
of the song -eem. however, not unlike
these of wild boboling. One of the
young b'rds, moreover, has been no
ticed, lwth by myaelf nud other ob
servers, attempting, with a marked de
gree of success, to sing the continuous
rolling warble, v ith its rising and fall
ing inflection, that characterizes the
Harz Mountain roller canary.
The call note of the red-winged
blackbird Is clearly distinguishable in
the two red-winged blackbirds under
observation, but Is the only sound that
might be referred to that species. The
song of these two birds seems to be
made up of a composite Jumble, where
in robin and thrushlike notes of great
clearness and volume predominate.
The duration of the song is not
marked by any particular break, the
performance generally lasting from
five to ten minutes. The clear robin'
and thrushlike notes are connected by
fainter warbles and laps, the whole
being continuous. .

SPECIAL COr.r.ESPONDF.NCE.
Columbia, Mo., April 1'. The rapid
decrease in the available supply of
timber in Missouri for use as fence and
telegraph pnats and railroad ties has
led to grave apprehension that in a
few years the natural supply of these
materials will have become exhausted.
Original investigations of the lumber
Industry and forestry of the State are
lieing made by Missouri Vntversity.
and it is probable that some means of
preserving the State's natural forests
will be suggested. The planting of
plantations In fence-post material will
be encouraged and other means used
to prevent the extinction of the forests.
The decrease in the natural supply
of these materials is well illustrated by
the rapid rise in prices. A few years
ago fence posts could be bought for
4 or 3 cents each. The supply is now
so scarce that posts of an inferior
quality bring from 10 to 20 cents each.
Telegraph poles have increased nearly
,V) per cent In price and railroad ties,
have increased i5 per cent. These In
creases are for the past five or six
years. A still greater increase in price
may be expected iu the next few years.
The decrea.e if natural timber in the
Mississippi Valley has lieen generaJL
On the eastern side the destruction of
forests has been greater because the
supply was greater. In Indiana, the
natural supply of fenee-pnst material
has been exhausted and the farmers
of that Slate have to depend on im
ported materials, or posts that have
been grown for the purpose. On the
west side of the Mississippi a condi
tion of greater scarcity prevails. Little
tlmlier is left in Western Iowa and
Missouri. In Southwestern Missouri
there U yet a remnant ot what was
once a large forest of Ited Juniper, or
Cedar, bnt the supply can scarcely last
a half dozen years longer. The region
has leen penetrated by railroads, and
it is being shipped out as fast as it can
be cuL Red Juniper forests iruother
parts of the country have been de
stroyed in the same way and no nat
ural supply of that timber in this coun
try is large enough to be reckoned on
in the future.
The piesent high prices for material
of this sort make timber growing a
profitable industry, and if the prices
continue to' increase, as there is every
reason to lielieve they will, timber
growing may become one or the im
portant industries of the country. Gov
ernment statistics collected on this
subject show that on many farms i-are-fully
planted plantations of Catalpa or
Red Juniper will. In ten to twenty-five
years, yield returns equal to or in ex
cess of the agricultural crops for such
n ieriod of years. As every year finds
the natural supply of timber scarcer
and the prices higher, profit in timber
growing is bound to increase. Those
who have given the matter careful
study believe that a plantation care
fully planted In Osage Orange or borne
other good tree will, in ten or twenty
years, yield returns to the ovtner in
excess of the value of eio'is for that
period.
Experts iu the employ of the United
States Bureau of Forestry are of the
opinion that Missouri is one of the
lrest States if not the best Slate iu the
I'niou in which to make snch planta
tions. Here the supply is scariest, the
soil the most fertile and the price"
highest. A telegraph pole lasts bnt
ten years. Fence posts and railroad
ties last an equal length of time, so
that every ten years sees one genera
tion of poles, posts and ties thrown
away and a new lot ei)t. The supply
in Missouri Is not equal to tin: demand
and the railroads are compelled to im
port materials used in building or re
pairing their lines.
The growing of fence posts brings
the quickest returns and has proven
the most popular among those who
have taken up forestry from a com
mercial standpoint. The liest timbers
for this purpose are Osage Orange.
Locust. Hardy Catalpa. Red Juniper
iCcdar). Mulberry, Black Walnut, Oak
and ash. usage orange posts nave

and some owners of old hedge fence
which have been replaced by the mor
modern wire fence have fourd tha
old fences very valuable. Hedge row
sometimes turn ont as many as twenty-five
fence posts to the rod. A
these posts will easily sell at. JO cent,
a mile of old hedge fence is worth
nearly $100. It requires from twelve
to fifteen years" growth to reach a size
suitable for posts. The Red Juniper
(Red Cedar) ' a durable anil valuable)
post timber, commanding good price
everywhere, but It will probably never
become popular as a domestic pot
timber, except in limited areas. The
use of fence posts is rapidly Increas
ing, as old rail and hedge fences are
being replaced with wire fences.
The timbers most used for telegraph,
telephone and electric power and light
poles are Tamarack. White Cedar and
Red Juniper. These kinds of timber
are so popular that if the supply were
to hold ont nothing could displace
them. Their life in the ground is
about ten years, and over 600.000 poles
are used annually in the United States
to repair telegraph lines alone. The
building of new telegraph lines, to
gether with the number used by tele
phone and electric light and power
lines increases the number of poles,
wed nnnuallv to over 2.000.000. The
cost of poles of this sort has increased
much more rapidly than the cost of
fence posts and ties. A post can be
grown comparatively quicklj', and In
au exigiency most anything can be
used: but a telegraph pole must le
long, .straight and of good quality.
Timbers that fulfill these conditions
are few. and a number of years are re
quired to grow them. The poles now
are ttorth from H to $50 each, and
when the natural supply runs out much
higher prices will prevail. The man
will lie fortunate then who has a plan
tation of Red Juuiper or C.italpa.
The timliers most in use as cross tie
for railroads are White Oak. Burr Oafe.
Post Oak. White Cedar and Red
Juniper. Prices range from 30 to r.o
cents each for standard sizes: 620.OOU.
000 ties are in use in the railroads of
the country aud 90.000.000 arc r
quired annually for lenewals. Tract
of timber land in all parts of Missouri
which formerly gave employment t
large numbers of men in the tie-making
Industry have become so thinned
out that tiemaklng Is profitable in only
a few localities. Railroad officials, real
izing the seriousness of the situation
have in a few instances established
plantations for the growth of tie tim
ber and a large plantation at Parting
ton. Kas., Is now maintained by the
railroads.
