HEN LAYS EGGS ON
TOP OF POLE

Zenas Dudley, of Hampden, has
a hen that will lay every day, pro-
vided she can lay where she wants to,
and that is sitting on top of a pole.
The only reason why the hen wishes
to perch on the tip end of the pole
when laying can be accounted for
only by the fact that she laid her first
egg on top Of pole. When she was a
small pullet she was frightened one
day and flew to the top of a tall
pole in the yard. The dog kept her
there for some time, and during the
time she laid her first egg Never a
time since then has she laid an egg
except when she has been on top of
the same pole, A pole has been SET
up in the henyard where this hen can
make daily layings. A small net bag
is placed around the pole to catch
the egg.

Portland, Ore, May 17.-After a
whole week spent in touring WASH
ington points, the special train OF
Portland business men pulled into the
station Saturday night with excur-
sionists intensely enthusiastic over a
trip that will be discussed in the Port
land commercial club and about town
for long time to come. Never were
hosts more hospitable than the
Washington communities, never was
good fellowship more prevalent, never
did entertained and entertainers real
lie more thoroughly the community
of their interests in the development
of the Pacific northwest. The mar
velous activity and prosperity of the
whole state of Washington was con-
slant source Of comment to the Ore
gonians-and they had expected
much. The ovatlons extended to the
visitors everywhere were marked by
a genulneness and heartiness seldom
equaled on such occasions. An in
spection Of the exposition made every
Oregonian a "rooter" for the A-Y.-

Through TraIn TO Atlantic.

InrOuRn Tram 10 AtluHtlc.
Oregon is not so far from the At
lantic coast as II was. Within a few
days a through train service will be
put on between Portland and New
York City, covering the entire dis
tance in thirty minutes less than four
days. Thoroughly Informed railroad
men consider that 1t will be a long
time before this remarkable sched-
ule is bettered.
No class is more deeply interested
in Oregon than the high grade office
man of the east who fully appreciates
the exceptional investment opportu-
nifty that exists in this state. Proba-
bly, fruit tracts are the most popular,
at least II the following quotation
from a letter written by the depart
ment manager OF one Of the largest
packing houses in Chicago, to an Ore
gon friend, can be taken as any in
dex:
81 am certainly appreciative Of the
literature pertaining TO your grand
country. / am receiving more mail
than our whole department. Many
OF our clerks have the fruit bug in
their ears, and when they hear OF
anyone receiving dope along this line
they pounce upon it like pack of
hungry wolves would on a carcass.
If l should answer all the inquiries l
have had during the last few days
/ would have to have an expert Ste
nographer."
Surprised at Luxuriance.
Visitors to the Pacific northwest
from any other portion of the Uni
ted States are always impressed with
the wonderfully luXurlant vegetation
west OF the Cascade mountains. 1t
keeps them busy saying, "Why, we
cultivate the syrnga as shrub at
home-here Is grows wild, And
those ferns, which seem to do their
growing In your winter woods here,
at home We would only have them
in greenhouses" The rhododendrons
of Yaquina bay are famous even in
Oregon, and special excursions are be-
ing run to Newport to see this gor-
geous flower at its best.

 WHALES CHLOROFORM
Women Is Brought Back to Life by the quick Action of Police Officer
 and a Physician.

Worn out with the hurly burly of the life in the red light district, Lena Smith last night attempted to take her life by the inhalation of an ounce of chloroform. She was blocked by a policeman who arrived at her quar- ters, and with the assistance of anoth- CT, forced her to walk to the city hall where Dr. Beauchamp was called. Ali ter a stiff hypodermic injection of anti-morphine, she revived and is now in a fairly comfortable condition.
 For. several days Lena Smith had been growing morose, and with rap idly increasing hunger for cocaine, which she could not satisfy, at last bought an ounce of chloroform yes terday afternoon, and upon arriving at her apartment saturated a handker- chief and fell into stupor.
 She made no attempt to save her self and would not assist pr. Beau champ in his efforts to bring her back to the "safe-land."

DIES UNDER WHEELS 0F
 IHRESH|NG ENGINE TRAGEDY ON A BUCKEYE FARM. The Machine Was Started by Mistake While Edward Shotts Lay in
 Front of the Wheels.
TRAGEDY ON A BUCKEYE FARM,

Crushed lifeless beneath the front wheel of a threshing engine was the fate met by Edward Schotts Saturday afternoon near Buckeye on the Inter national Trading company's ranch.
 Schotts had been doing repair work about the threshing outfit and sat down in front of the machine to rest a few moments before going back to work William Creighton, owner of the machine. desiring to move the en- zine up for a better position, started it. Schotts cried out as the heavy en- zine struck him.
 The machine crossed Schotts' body half way before it could be stopped. and after a few writhing death strug- gles, he became unconscious, death following inside of two hours.
 Medical assistance was obtained in short space of time, but the man was beyond saving.
 At the coroners inquest, it was found that the injury was the result of an accident, no one being to blame.
 Edward Schotts was 51 years of age and little known in the vicinity. He came a short time ago from Califor- mia and leaves a wife in Yieneima in that state. The dead mans wife was telegraphed to and a reply giving in structions to bury SchOtts here was received. The body was placed in the Rosedale cemetery yesterday morning.

Saturday morning at o'clock sharp the twenty-fOur men composing the three teams were on the G00-yard fir ing line and firing was commenced. From the first shot till the last the result was never in doubt. The guardsmens total kept growing with every shot.
 The struggle between Bisbee and their old rivals, the Eighth Cavalry, was nip and tuck. The final result was 1908 for the cavalry and 1909 for Bisbee, a majority of 1 point on the entire match. The N. c. A. team won over Bisbee in the easy fashion of 245 points.
 Saturday evening the-officers of the guard were entertained by Major Allen at his houseraG4Ba. Hnachuca.
 Sunday afternoon the team left for Benson and at a. m. Monday took the Southern Pacific train for Camp Perry, Ohio.

M0hG0|QH'S PIGTAL
 DR|PPED WITH BLOOD
Vi Yen Wanted Revenge and He'll
 Get It.

A wild-eyed son of the land of China rushed into the police station about II o'clock last night with his pig tail dripping with Mongolian blood, his face the color of withered ashes and clutching fingers waving
 Whats the matter, Yi?"
 Him hit me-hitte-me-hard Hit me on head What for I don't know. Can no tell I stland on corner. Him big fella come along-swattee mel don't know Mebhe you can catch him. And then the Chinese articula- ton became an unintelligible conglom- eration of gutteral sounds which dis appeared with the Chinaman out of the door and into the darkness of the night.
 Vi Yen, a Chinese who has been in the employ of the French kitchen, was lately a mission worker in San Fran cisco and an interpreter of the Amer ican Bible to the yellow school boys and girls. He had been standing on the curbing somewhere near the place of employment and some over ly robust individual, small of brain and large of neck, had, after filling up on "dago red" started in to develop his fore arm muscles on the China mans head. A long gash had been cut, causing considerable loss of blood, but outside of that and bad scare the Chinaman was all right, and when over his scare returned to his abode of employment.
 The police have located Yen's as- sailant and will probably have him un- der arrest before noon today.

EIGHTH CAVALRY.

The above is the expert rifleman's test of the United States army and consists of five shots slow fire and five shots timed fire 60 seconds). at 200 yards, at 300 yards and at 600 yards, and ten shots slow fire at 1000 yards, and one skirmish run, making a possible number of 300 points, of which it is necessary to make 2O4 or 6S per cent to qualify as an expert rifleman.
 Every member of the National Guard team qualified for expert rifle men. Three of the Eighth cavalry qualified, and five of the Bisbee Rifle club
 Owing to the limited time only teams of eight men competed This course was shot strictly according to army regulations, no field galsses or micrometers being allowed on the

firing line. and no coaching being permitted.
 It will be seen that the scores made by the Bisbee Rifle club and the Eighth cavalry were very close, the club taking second place by but one point, while the National Guard team won by 245 points. This is the first time the Bisbee Rifle. club has been defeated by an Arizona team, and it is considered quite a victory for the national guard. This closes the prac- tice of the Arizona Rifle team, which will leave for Camp Perry, ohio, on the 18th instant. The climate has been most delightful the range ideal, while Major Allen and the officers of the fort have extended every possible courtesy, which Colonel Coggins and the entire detail have fully appre- ciated.

A Drenching Storm Swept Up From

Fl Centro, Aug. 1G.-The summer rain records since the first settlement of the Imperial valley was broken to- day. the rain storm beginning at 10 o'clock and continuing most of the day. An inch of rain fell, accompanied al the start with a high wind, which damaged some buildings.
 The storm water draining into irri- gation canals caused danger of serious breaks. Washouts along the main line of the Southern Pacific between Inn perial Junction and Yuma demoralized train traffic. The country telephone service was topped and the poles were broken. The storm swept up from the Gulf of California.
