NEW CHANNEL REVEALS RUINS
walls of Huts Seen Just Below the
NeedIes-River Situation Is
Most Serious.

Needles, Cal.-The flood situation Is
far more serious than at any time
since the Colorado river began to rise
The treacherous current is threaten,
ing to break the only remaining water
pipe in the city, and its strength seems
to defy the efforts of more than five
hundred men working to keep the wa.
tiers in check.
The hastily constructed dams and
abutments, while holding, have only
served to shift the danger zone to
other points in the river bank. The
Santa Fe railroad has several pile
drivers at work and more will be
here soon.
Great quantities Of brush and sacks
of sand are being thrown behind pill
ings to shift the current to the Ari-
iona side. Every building in danger
of being carried downstream has
been removed.
What were declared to be the ruins
of an ancient city were uncovered
by the raging waters thirty miles be-
low the city. Persons who were at
the spot say they could plainly see
the walls of huts that must have been
buried centuries, showing just above
the edge of the new channel cut by
the flood water.

that the poultry paid a very neat sum.
"This man raised five children. One
of the sons took the farm few years

ing at his home. They run five mat
ings now. Three are dark.
He is one of the many all over our
land. He had very little schooling,
but was well educated in his calling;
he was not planned for large private
enterprises and did not care or strive
for it. He played safe from the very
beginning. The great danger is that
most of us will begin by building two
more houses each year and spend large
sums to beat this or that breeder, and

CROW SAVED LIFE
Rooster Is Instrumental in
Averting ChiId's Death.
But for His Act Woman Would Not
Have Observed Two Little Ones
Running Toward Pond In
Cleveland.

Cleveland.-A cantankerous rooster
that crowed and complained whenever
any one entered the yard that he con-
sidered his own saved the life of lit
tie Alex Galoskey, four, when he fell
into the Cleveland-Akron Bag com.
panys' pond at the foot of East Thirty
seventh street.
Had 1t not been for the rooster Mrs.
Louis Busser would not have seen the
two little children who ran through
her yard and down the hill to the bank
of the pond early in the afternoon.
Mrs. Busser looked out of the window
when she heard the rooster expressing
his displeasure and saw the Galoskey
child, with sixryear-old Johnny Zgleni-
XII, running through the yard.
She spoke to her husband, Louis,
about them and he looked in their d.
rection from time to time. He was
sitting on the back porch putting his
shoes on when he looked the last time
and saw the elder Of the boys running
up the hill. The smaller one was no.
where in sight. Surprised, he looked
again toward the pond and saw a tiny
hand appear above the surface of the
water.
He sent his son Frank fifteen, on
the run to call help from the mill
thinking that the men could get to the
pond from the mill quicker than he
could. An instant later the hand ap
peared again with another hand be
side 1t.
Busser saw he must act instantly
so he ran shoeless down the hill
leaped over the fence that surrounded
the pond and jumped into the water
A moment later he had the baby in hil
arms.
Busser and his wife laid the baby
unconscious and apparently dead, on
bench and rolled the water out O
him. After half an hour of work th'
child began to show signs of life ant
his rescuers put him to bed. The,
had no idea whose baby he was.
Mrs. Minnie Spettigue of Crotol
avenue S. E., in whose charge tn
Galoskey boy had been left while tn
mother went out to work, heard h
had been drowned and that the bod
was at the Busser home. She starte
for the house and on the way met tn
boys mother, who was returning fror
work
When the two women arrived at tn
Busser home they found Alex sittin
up in bed and blinking happily an
devouring raw eggs.

RED-H0T POKER FOR BABY
Maniac Mother Checked in Her Fright.
full Sacrifice-Attempted to Drive
Iron Into Body.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Grasping her four
months-old baby by one leg and swing
ing it around her head Mrs. Paul Co.'S
mack, thirty-five years old, near Uni
versal, was chased half mile to the
home of an acquaintance, where, it is
alleged, she attempted to drive a red
hot poker into the child's body. She
was overpowered and the child res
cued. The mother was later commit
ted to an insane asylum. The conduct
of the woman was first noticed by
neighbors. Tossing the baby in the
air, she was seen to catch 1t before
it fell to the ground. and then clutch
ing 1t by one leg, she swung 1t over
her head. When neighbors tried to
interfere, she fed to the home of
Mrs. Matte Kuntz, some distance from
her home. The mother picked up a
poker in the Goals from the kitchen
stove ard tried to jab 1t into the body
of the baby, when her pursrers rushed
in and overpowered her. A physician
was called to examine the woman, and
he declared her insane.

AN AVERAGE MANS SUCCESS
IN THE POULTRY BUSINESS

In the Poultry Department of Farm
and Fireside a contributor writes:
"Twenty-seven years ago there lived
right near me man who worked in
the iron-mills of Pottstown, Pennsyl-
vania. This man kept twelve Ply
mouth Rocks in the back of a country
tenant-house. The lot was altogether
about forty yards square, They we're
a very good show grade, in shape, col
or of feather and size. They were of
female-color line, with few darker
females in the pen. He raised a few
each season and exhibited some at
shows near by. This was back in
1884. Men OF towns from ten to twen-
ty miles away would come and take
away birds at from two to five dollars
each. There was almost no extra en-
pense after the first start, which was
the eggs. The winnings at the shows
would almost pay for the showing ex-
penses.
After a few years he quit the iron
mill and bought farm of thirty-six
acres. Here the Rocks were increased
to fitty-five kept in one flock. Sales
of eggs and stock greatly increased
The birds were taken to from three to
five nearby shows, and they won many
Of the firsts. About four hundred were
raised each season, and the surplus
hens and pullets all sold to men who
saw his stock at the fairs. About 1895
the foe kwas divided by building two
houses in the apple-orchard, and the
whole orchard made into two larg,
yards. One of these was now mated
for darker or cockerel line and thu
two others mated for light or STANDARD
female line. The strain was kept NJ
to the very best practical lines. The.
always laid the year around. | canno
give figures in detail, but the price
Of cockerels were from $1.50 to $500
and few at $1,000; the Gull pullet
often brought $1.OO each, in the fal
