The Tucson UiLlZen Of Monday
prints a dispatch frum Lus Angeles,
10 which is printed an interview with
Mr.. Hartman, president Of the south
err Pacific. Mr.. Hartman says that
extensive improvements will be made
on the road bed during the coming
year, All of the sixty.aVe pound steel
will be taken up aud replaced with
eighty pound steel, SO the road from
New Orleans 10 San francisco Will all
be laid with heavy steel. When tnis
is done the roadbed Will Compare
favOrably with that Of many of the
eastern roads, aud the company will
not be afraid TO put % heavy enough
engines to haul the freight trains and
10 bring the passenger trains over The
road on time. Mr.. Hartman cannot
improve the rOadbed TOO much nor
put on too many trains TO suit the
people in this section Of the country.
With the improved track, the dining
cars, which are Promised. aud the
double daily passenger service, which
is also promised, the people Ia this
part OF the country will think they
are living In town. There have been
wonderful improvements In the
Southern Pacific road 10 the past ten
or fifteen years, aud 1t Is probable
thete will be many more improve
meuts before the stockholders get a

Ares Of Birds.

Among birds the swan lives to be
the Oldest, in extreme cases reaching
600 years. The falcon has been known
to live 162 years. An eagle died in 1919
which had been caught 1o4 years be-
fore and was then quite old. A white
headed vulture. which was caught in
170G, died in the aviary at Schonbrun,
near Vienna, in 1924 Parrots live more
than n century. Water birds have a
long life, exceeding that of several gen
erations Of men. Ravens also live over
a hundred years.
In captivity magpies live from twen-
ty to twenty-five years, and still longer
in freedom. The common hen attains
the age of from fifteen to twenty years.
Doves live ten years and the little sing
ing birds from eight to seventeen years.
The nightingale's life is the shortest,
ten years being the longest, and next
comes the blackbird, which never lives
longer than fifteen years.

though the problem was comparatively
easy, he could not answer it. The prin-
cipal remarked with some show of Sc

A FORCED SALE.
Friih's Purchase OF His own Por-
trait Painted by Himself.

ANAAN ny hAhhHSAAs
Here Is the astonishing history Of
one Of Friths own portraits painted by
himself. The celebrated r. A. had en-
tirely forgotten its existence until a
friend entered his studio one morning
and asserted that a capital picture Of
himself was on view in a small shop
in Great Portland street. ITS not a
bit like what you are now," observed
the friend, "but it may have resembled
you some years ago. Go and look at
it,"
Mr.. Firth went and found his own
image after an estrangement Of forty
Eve years. He determined TO buy it,
though he had not the faintest recollec-
ton of having painted it. "Ah, por-
traitw said Icrith to the woman in
charge of the shop after he had pre-
tended to examine several other works.
"Whose likeness is that" 'That," said
the lady, 'is a portrait Of the celebrat-
ed artist, Firth, painted by himself"
'Why, he must be an elderly man."
put in the artist. The woman remark
ed that he was young once. "Humphw
quoth the genial w. L. Il. mot much

To this the woman demurred and
asked f20 for the canvas. 1t was
Frith's turn to appear surprised.
"Well," replied the shopkeeper with
out moving u muscle, 1T cost us nearly

RELICS OF EARLY DAYS.
Rail Fences and Dugout Canoes Sur
vive Civilizations March.


One Of the remarkable features OF
country life in America is the singular
persistence Of the rail fence and the
dugout canoe. No matter how thickly
settled section may become or how
long it may have been settled, these
two survivors Of early settlement linger
on as stubbornly as ever. Today in the
thickest settled parts of New England
and New York the rail fence is met
with, while the shad fishermen of the
Potomac and James rivers and Chesa-
peake bay, on the banks Of which the
first English settlements in America
were established, still manufacture and
employ the old dugout canoe in making
the rounds of their shad nets.
The dugout canoe is the simplest and
most primitive water craft known and
was used by prehistoric man, both in
this country, Europe and Asia. 1t is
made out Of log of wood by trimming
the outside down to the proper proper
tions Of a boat and by digging OUT
the inside with an adj and by the aid
of fire. The Potomac river dugout is to-
day pretty much the same as it was
in the days of Powhatan and differs
from the general run Of dugout canoes
in the absence Of a curved bow and
stern and in having rather high sides
which rise TO a summit from either
end of the boat being highest in the
middle, where the seat is placed
