Leavenworth, Kans.. May 5.-Extra
precautions are being taken at the
federal prison to prevent trouble with
the prisoners at night. or an attempt,
such as that recently successfully
made by George Frankhauser to get
out Of his cell, by saving through the
heavy steel bars.
The platform which commands
full view Of the cell houses viii soon
be occupied at night by an armed
guard who will have orders to shoot
If necessary, in case any prisoner gets
out OF his cell at night. For some
days past a gang of prisoner workmen
have been busy constructing railing
at the outer edge Of the platform, the
floor OF which has been strengthened
with railroad iron. Part OF the railing
Is now In position and the entire work
will be finished within a few days.

DOUBLE TRACKING S. P.
WEST SLOPE OF SIERRES

An interesting piece of work is
being pushed by the Southern
Pacific on the western slope of the
Sierra Nevada range, where the
line drops down to the valley of
the Sacramento. This is the build
ing of a second track from Rocklin
to ColfaX, a distance of thirty-two
miles. The second track will have
a maximum grade of II per cent,
as against a grade of % per cent
on the old line. The new track
therefore, will be used for east
bound trains and while serving in
the usual manner of double track,
the grade for the pull up the hill
from the valley will be consider
ably reduced. The old line will be
changed somewhat where the
second grade interfercs with it,
and while the work is going rcduc.
tons in curvature will he made in
the old line so that the whole will
mean a vast improvement for that
section of the country.

SHIPPING YOUNG CHICKENS

About ten years ago a smart
Yankee chicken fancier named J.
d. Lucas of Iowa took il into his
head that it might be more profita-
bic to sell day old chickens at ten
cents apiece than to sell eggs at
two cents. Acting upon the idea,
he began advertising day old
chickens for sale in his immediate
locality, and the second year had
more ordered than he could fill.
Others were not to slow to follow
suit until today it has became a
great industry all over the world.
As young chickens need no food
for the first SO or iS hours of their
lives, it is no risk to send them a
thousand miles by express. People
who frequent the depot at Carson
City when the morning passenger
train arrives, see shipments of
young chicks, either for this place,
or going through almost daily,
and ten thousand for the season is
a small estimate.
They come of nearly all breeds,
but White LeghOrns and Rhode
Islands Reds seem to be most in
evidence. Carson News.

WILL ERECT MONUMENT
TO MEMORY OF
BONNER PARTY

Beginning June 9th next, it is
expected that at least 10000 men,
bers of the Native Sons of the
Golden West will meet at Truckee
and Lake Tahoe and remain in ses-
sion for four days.
The occasion will be the grand
parlor of the state, which was Sc
cured by the Bonner Parlor No.
l62 Of Truckee, in spite of op-
position from nearly every point
in California.
On June 9th and 9TH the con-
vention will visit Lake Tahoe. June
8, 9, and 10 the party will return to
Trukee to complete the session and
participate in the dedication of a
statue commemorative of the i'll
fated Donner party. The statue
will be dedicated on June 10th.
The story of the Donner party,
whose name has been given to Don
ner Lake, near Truckee, has been
told in history of Nevada and is
known to most of the older inhabit-
ants of the state.
1t was recently recalled by
Robert j. Fulton in an article con-
corning some historic winters in
the west. The details are again
printed:
The great tragedy of the Sierra
was the loss in 1916 and AT, by
starvation of 81 persons, members
of the Donner party, which had
bad luck from the start.
Taking a new cutoff in what is
now Wyoming they struck so hard
a country that they had to retrace
their steps to Salt Lake and were
delayed the whole month of
August. Before they reached the
head of the Humboldt they had lost
many cattle and some of their
number had died.
The Indians stole 21 head of the
cattle at the head of Humboldt
lake, and their suffering was so
great that two of the weakest of
the party were left to die on the
road while the rest hurried on in
the hope of finding relief.
At Truckce Meadows, near Glen
dale, stop of four days to rest the
animals turned bad luck into dis
aster. About the middle of Octo-
ber, 1916, tho hungry little army
started up the Truckec River.
every day the weather becoming
more threatening. On the 26th il
began to storm and on the 2Sth
they were at. Alder Creek in eight
inches Of sonw. The party divided
here, part of them crossing the
ridge and reaching "Turckee
Lake" as it was then called, and
later changed to Donner Lake, al
though neither George nor jim
Donner ever got so far alive.
| For some time the snow fell deep
and the cold became intense.
Everything capable of being soft.
cncd by fire and water was turned
into food, after the supplies ran
out, and shoes. dry hides and
finally the flesh of those who first
succumbed, went to save from
absolute starvation, 40 of the 81.
Among those who lived to reach
Suffers Fort was nervy little
girl Of eight, Martha f. Reed,
mother of Mr.. Frank X. Lewis,
now auditor of the MOO. rail
