PARROT LAYS EGGS At 81.
Longevity of Bird Is Concluslvely
Proven In London.

London. The longevity Of birds
has received a new illustration in =
parrot at Ludgershall. Wits which
has begun to lay eggs at the age of
81. From one point of view this may
be considered the greatest feat on
record.
Two quite authentic instances OF
parrots that have been kept in cap
tivity for so years are known, but
this remains the highest record, with
the possible exception Of the parrot
described by Humboldt.
This bird-and the story is held to
be quite trustworthy-was the sole
repository of the dead language. The
Indian tribe that spoke it was wiped
off the face of the earth by imported
disease, and the only living thing
which could speak any word of its
tongue was this parrot.

REMEMBER THE MAINE ANNIVERSARY
Of SINKING Of BATTLESHIP

In Cuba the Spanish contingent at
tributes the failure to remove the
wreck of the Maine to the fear. as
MagoOn points out, that the work will
disclose the fallacy of the popular
belief that the Maine was destroyed
by torpedo or mine instead of an in
terror explosion" There are Ameri-
cans who think with the Spanish SYM
pathizers in Cuba that the govern
ment IS afraid to raise the Maine be-
cause an examination of it's broken
hulk might show that the Maine de-
stroyed herself" and that the Span
iards had nothing to do with it.
A board Of competent men settled
to the satisfaction of most people that
an exterior explosion" sent the
Maine to the bottom of the harbor.
No one in the service or out of Il
probably believes that the report of
the officers was not accurate, and
least Of all believes that a wrong re-
port was turned in Intentionally in
order to lift a burden of blame from
the shoulders of the officers of the
ship.

Washington, Feb. l5.-Memorial
services in honor of the sixty-three
American sailors who went down with
the Maine in Havana harbor just
eleven years ago today, and whose
bones still moulder in the wreck of
the ill-fated battleship, will be held
this evening by the Maine Memorial
associations. Patriotic societies, par
ticularly veterans of the Spanish war,
also observed the anniversary.
This years anniversary is especial
ly notable, since it is marked by an
ins.stent public demand for the rails
ing Of the Maine. in order that the
sailors whose tomb it is may be given
proper burial. Determined opposi-
ton TO this project in some quarters
has aroused considerable Indignation
among. the veterans of the Spanish
war.
The recent report Of Charles E.
Magoon, late provisional governor Of
Cuba, after referring to the wreck as
an obstruction to navigation, de-
clares:
\ National Reproach.
Even more important is the fact
that this wreck, although it contains
the bodies of SO American seamen,
or what is left of them, is apparently
abandoned and forgotten by the gov
ernment and the people Of the Uni
ted states. II has become a national
reproach, and an international scan
dal."
Representative William Sulzer, of
New York, apparently is the only
man in congress still loyal in heart
and work to a plan and an appro-
priation for raising the Maine Mr..
Sulzers bill asking for an apprOpria-
ton to bring the wreck to the surface
and to remove the bodies therein to
Arlington cemetery, is in the keep
ing Of the house committee on naval
affairs. where it has been for nearly
nine months. Whether the measure
ever will receive a favorable report
is at best a mere matter of guess
work. Some Of the committee mem
bers are in favor Of reporting the bill
favorably, but the majority seems to
be held back by some shadowy thing
OF which no one has or seems to have
any substantial knowledge.

Sixty-three still Entombed.

From a speech delivered by Repre-
sentative Sulzer in the house of rep
resentatives in support of this bill
Tor an appropriation to raise the
Maine, it is learned that the records
Of the navy department show that
231 men We're killed when the Maine
vas destroyed; that "a bodies were
recovered Immediately and buried at
Key West, Florida; that later 144
Nod,es were recovered and buried
first in Havana, and later brought
home for interment in the National
cemetery at Arlington. The bodies of
SO sailors Of the Maine were never
recovered or accounted for, and it is
supposed that they are now entomb-
ed with the wreck in the mud Of Ha-
vana harbor.

ELK
ARE STARVING

Twenty thousand elk in northwest
ern Wyoming, in the vicinity Of jack
sons Hole are threatened with starva-
ton IL something IL not done to pro-
vide them with feed. At least ten
thousand of this number are In the
immediate vicinity Of Jackson, ana
unless something Ia done fnP them
there will be fearful loss of big
game before spring.
This is the word received by Rep
resentative Wilson from Jas. s. Sin1p-
son, an old-time resident of Jackson
familiar with the situation. The leg
islature will be urged to make an ap-
preparation TO provide hay for the
starving animals to prevent their loss
to the. state It is estimated that $4,000
would prove adequate for two years,
with what the national government
will do.
According to Mr.. Simpson, there are
some 500 tons of hay that could be
purchased in that vicinity and possl-
bly, 500 tons more could he bought II
the animals were driven to other feed
ing grounds. Unless this is done, y
is certain the winter loss will be
heavy, as the snow is heavy and crust.
cd hard enough to hold up man. The
ranchmen of that vicinity are guard
ing their hay stacks night and day
to prevent them being eaten by the
elk, and already more than 100 tons
have been devoured.- Press

The regular business meeting OF
the Forward club was held in the
Commercial club rooms though not a
very large attendance was present.
Some important actions were taken,
1t being decided to establish plano
fund looking toward the purchasing OF
a piano for the club rooms, which
shall be used Jointly by the CONNER
cial club and the Forward club, as
long as the latter club meets In the
Commercial club rooms; the owner
ship, however, to remain with the For
ward club. 1t was decided to give
$40 towards the Loan Scholarship
Fund for the State university and the
club would like any boy or girl to
know who lives in Caldwell or vicinity
and is not able to pay his way through
the university that they can borrow
the money from this fund and pay 1t
back when they are able. For any in
formation on this subject apply to
Mrs. w. A. Stone, and she will ex-
plain the matter more fully. The
matter OF the clubs contributing to
this fund is a very laudable one as
surely to aid deserving and aspiring
young people toward an education is
something to be praised and to show
that this fund is greatly appreciated
we would say that over $1,000 is now
loaned out and applicants must be
turned away for lack OF funds, nc
losses have been reported, each stu
dent has repaid all they borrowed and
the fund is kept rolling for the bene-
fit of worthy boys and girls.

Indpa BRYAN Affirmed.

The supreme court has affirmed the
decision of Judge Bryan in the case
of Miss Ada F. Madden vs.. The Cald-
we'll Land Co. This Is the case where
the plaintiff purchased block of city
lots, the agent omitted to cancel the
sale on the company's books and Miss
Madden failed to record her deed. In
the mean time the company changed
agents and the new ones again sold
the same block to lobe Froman. Both
purchasers claimed the property and
suit was installed to determine the
case. Judge Bryan awarded Miss
Madden the sum of $2650.O0 and the
land company took an appeal with the
result that the lower court was at
flrmed.

without the aid Of the Commercial
club or the business men. The Tri-
bune Is OF the opinion that the BUSH
ness men should at least make an ex-
ira effort to attract people to town ON
sales days, by advertising certain
lines Of goods at special prices. In
thus doing they will get the entire
benefit Of their money expended. Here
tofore the money subscribed formed a
fund for the expenses Of conducting
the auction sales. Under the present
arrangement the auctioneers pay their
own expenses. But by united effort
of the business men the sales would
be greatly increased and the benefits
would be more equally distributed to
all lines in the city. 1t would at least
be worth a trial. The sales Monday
were over $4,000. The auctioneers
charges are three per cent on all
sails.
