Ostricbes were first introduced into
the United States by a DR. Protheroe
i1 1882 and today as a result Of the
increase Of this first flock and subse-
Quent importations the number has
increased until there are several thou
sands located in some half dozen
tanches distributed In Arizona, Cali
fornia, Florida, Arkansas and North
Carolina Until lately the birds have
been raised largely for exhibition pur-
poses, but with the establishment Of
the big farm at Phenix, Ariz., which
now has over 1000 birds, the industry
was taken up on a commercial scale.
While the birds mate for life at four
years old, they do not breed satisfac-
torily until six or seven. A pair wiIl
produce from ten to twenty chicks n
year, each being worth at six months
800, at year $50 and at three from
$500 to $3.50. A prolific pair may fetch
$1,000, and exceptionally fine single
birds have been known to bring this
amount The feather output for n
year varies from $50 TO 500. The first
plucking is made at nine months. but
is of little value. Succeeding crops
are taken every nine months. The
nest Of the ostrich is a crude affair,
being hole three feet across and a
foot deep In the sand scooped out by
the breastbone Of the bird. The usual
clutch Of eggs is twelve to fourteen,
the weight ranging from three TO four
pounds each. The eggs are turned
daily and hatch in about forty days.

BOLD BURGLAR
BAGS BIDDIES

Fully 100 blOOded chickens are miss
ing from the Baumeister place south
of the city today as result of the
activity of unknown thieves who last
night entered the hen house and sacked
the choice of the flock, consisting OF
White Leghorns and White Wyan-
dottes The door had been locked, it
is said, and in case the officers sue
coed in locating the offender, it may
go hard with him.
One of the patrolmen picked up a
promising clue this morning when he
found that three sacks of hens had
been sold to the proprietor of q local
poultry establishment, and as the man
who made the sale is said to live in
the vicinity OF the Baumeister place, it
is thought the tale of the missing
egg plants may be unraveled some
time today.
The Baumeister place, being outside
of the city limits, prevents the police
from taking any action but the sher-
ifs office has been notified of the bur
glary, and the police are assisting in
running down any promising clue.
No Developments.
This afternoon the police admitted
that the one clue that had been Sc
cured earlier in the day had been fol-
lowed, but that no developments will
follow, as the chickens could not be
identified as formerly belonging to
Mrs. Baumeister 1t is understood a
reward of $25 has been offered by a
poultry fancier who lives south Of
town and who fears his hen houses will
be entered if the offenders are not ap-
pretended and brought to justice

sMlTHoON GETS TWO RECORDS

A. A. u. Accepts Portland, Ore, Hurd.
Ier's Work at San Francisco Meet.
Although Forest Smithson Of the
Multnomah Amateur Athletic club at
Portland holds the worlds records H..
the grandest performance over the
high hurdles-15 seconds flat for the
110-meter hurdles made at the Olympic
games in England he has never been
accepted as a champion by the Amer
lean Amateur Athletic Union Last
year the A. A. u. recognized A. B.
Shaw and this year w. A Edwards,
who defeated Smithson at San Fran
cisco.
For some reason the A. A. u. has
been very lOath to grant records made
in the northwest in recent years and
it is said to be because of the Dan
Kelly record, allowed some years ago,
which no subsequent performance
INDICATED.
However, SmithsOn gets some rec
ignition this year. Through tho
combined efforts of T. Morris Dunno
of Portland and Joseph Hickey OF San
Francisco, who were delegates to the
annual A. A. u. meeting in New
York last week, two outdoor records
have been allowed him, the 60yard
high hurdle and the 90-yard low hpr-
die
Both the records were made at San
Francisco, which is probably why
they got by the national board. The
60-yard record was 8 seconds, made
over five hurdles, each three feet six
inches high. The 80 yards over the
low hurdles were covered in 93-s
seconds. Smithson's other records
are all indoors. He did the 50-yard
high hurdles in Is, the 60-yard high
hurdles in 8 15 and the 7O-yard high
hurdles in s As
