About two and one-halt inches across and the sanle, or nearly so, in depth, it is compactly and strongly built and will withstand the storms of winter so well that it is often in almost as good condition the following spring as wbenit was first built. However, it is never used a second time by the birds, although, occasionally, a pair of white-footed mice will cover over and occupy one of these dur- ing the winter.

The birds frequently exercise their artistic sense by adorning the outside with small scraps of paper, small co- coons, bits of spider's web arid egg sacs and other like articles.

FLAGRANT RAILWAY DISCRIMINATION

Sir,—-l would like to drawjourat- tention to the gross discrimination which is being pllt over on the Maritime Provinces by our two Railways in the matter of Sam‘mer excursion [ares from Winnipeg and the West.

The regular tare from Win-

nipeg to Vancouver is 5 96.75 The Summer excursion fare, Winnipeg Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle 3 76.40 A reduction of i 20.35 Regular fare from Winnipeg to Halifax. $117.55 Slimmer excursion {are Win- nipeg to Halifax

A reduction of .95 Summer excursion lures quoted by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway, Winnipeg to ‘Boston vltl St. Paul and return $104.05, while the fare by Canadian Railways to St. John is $109.40, and $117.55 to Halifax.

The regular fare from St. Paul. 'Minn., to Boston is $102.00 and the summer excursion fare is $83.11. reduction of approximately $20.00, while all that our own Rail- ways give Maritime traffic from Winnipeg to Halifax and ‘Maritime points is a reduction of 95 cents arid then advertise it as Summer Excursion fare. This certainly is discrimination against the Mari- times as a Slimmer Resort. There are thousands of people in West- ern Canada who would visit the Maritimes in the summer if they were given an excursion fare.

Yours truly,
