Hen That Laid 1900 Eggs.

sue an account OF remarkable hen
owned by the woman who writes the
article This woman, Elizabeth Grin
nell. tells in part, as follows. the his
tory of this hen-a hen which in the
25 years Of its life laid approximately
1900 eggs:
Il hought this hen in 1890 for half
dollar. She was just a plebian yellow
hen. without family, or reputed ped

seller. She's not old; she's laying

concluded she had seen a couple of
summers or more. / therefore believe
her to be at the time of her death
in 1918, about twenty-five years Of
age. She made good her reputation
as fair layer
'She began to fail in strength when
about ten years old. But she kept on
laying and rearing her broods That
is, she laid irregularly until in 1911
she produced but four eggs, and in
1912 one egg only. Her eggs had
ceased to be fertile for several years,
or after she began to look old. Not
that she herself lost the mating in
stinct, but that she was no longer
pleasing to more youthful admirers Of
the biddy world The cock of the
yard would sidle toward this aged per-
son with the usual demonstrations of
tender feeling and then suddenly
sneak away.
"She was a useful member Of
society. She would mother any brood
from quail to turkeys, at any age O.
fered, even after she was too crippled
to scratch for them. In her later
years a brood of young fowls was al
ways given her in the autumn to in
sure her own safe passage through
the winter. These chickens thought
the mother hen hovered them and
were satisfied with the warmth always
obtained by cuddling; but it was the
vitality Of the young that kept the
old alive. For some years it was i'm
possible for her to squat or bend 20
the knees; she simply lay fiat on one
side, and the chicks burrowed in her
feathers. Her appetite failed for other
food than whole yellow corn"

Kettner Seeks To
Control Offices

WASHINGTON, Sept ga. Cam
inetti. Commissioner General of I'm
migration, is cutting into the patron
age fight in Southern California. He
has candidate for the postmastersh:p
of San Bernardino, one Duckworth,
and Congressman kettner has candi-
date, Editor Martin, who was right
hand man to Kettner in his election
campaign in that locality.
1t has been stated repeatedly that
Martin was slated for the postoffice
but Duckworth has been doing some
gumshoe work, with the result that
Caminetti is supporting him, and thus
far Caminetti's support has been very
efficient. Kettner, however, is on the
warpath and he has told his friends
that he is bound to have the naming
of the postmaster, otherwise he will
not promise the election of Demo-
crat from his district next fall.
1t looks now as if the fight would
be carried right to the White House,
and a lively fight it promises to be,
for Congressman Church and Raker
are understood to be standing solidly
behind Kettner.

Ancient Record
Found on Island

San Diego Sun: Out of the dim and
misty past, when missions and Juni-
pero were young, when Bonaparte was
war lord of the world, and the ink
was scarcely dry on the Declaration
of independence; when Captain Kidd
and his pirates bold cruised the main,
and it required hardy navigators to go
down to the sea in ships, comes a
twentieth century sequel to a nine
teenth century voyage of discovery,
brought to the United States by Chas.
f. Davis from the little-known island
Of Guadalupe and apparently estab-
fishing the discovery of that important
island by Americans in the year 1907
Davis and party have just return
ed from Guadalupe with a story of a
discovery of buried monument in
scribed with the names of the men
who found the rugged and uninhab-
tied eruption from the bosom of the
ocean.
Originally this great slab Of granite,
weighing probably 18 tons, stood
guard over the little bay, the only
landing place the island affords, but
the elements have done their work
well, and it was only by accident that
Davis noted letters upon a jutting end
Of the rock uncovered by the tread Of
his feet 200 yards from high water.
Hours of hard work followed, but
finally about ten square feet Of the
surface was uncovered, revealing to
the astonished gaze, not the Spanish
legends expected, but the names Of
twenty or more good, old-fashioned
Yankee forebears, which to this day
are recognized in every New England
state. ID
The names are cut deep into the
solid granite to the depth of a quar-
ter Of an inch and are practically in
destructible. Over shield sur
mounted by an American eagle they
appear, carved in old-style letters
plain and legible after the lapse of
more than 100 years. Here they are:

about five years ago through the in

day conference and discussion of
methods and results
Mine operators, mining engineers
and mine surgeons representing prac-

attendance.
The conference opened with a mine
rescue and first aid contest In Arsenal
park Tomorrow the members will
visit the experimental mine of the
bureau of mines at Bruceton, Pa,
where a coal dust explosion will be
made in order to demonstrate that
coal dust is even more dangerous to
the miner than gas. Various meetings
will be held Wednesday for the discus

uniform practice. Later in the day
another visit will be made to the ex-

Two Killed in Duel.
(By United Press AssociationsD

(By United Press Associations.)
BRUSSELS, Sept. 22.--An Italian
laborer named Lubardinetti was killed
and another Italian, Rimulgi, fatally
wounded in a duel with knives over a
German girl. Meeting Lubardinetti
and the girl on the road betweenLong
la Villa and Hautmont, Rimulgi, who
was former lover Of the girl, drew
a knife and challenged his rival to
fight on the spot. The men fought
for a quarter of an hour, and both
were covered with blood before Lubar-
dinetti was stabbed to the heart.l
Rimulgi received severe wound in the
abdomen and cannot recover. The
girl, who assisted Lubardenitti in the
fight, was arrested.

Below the shield and in the center
Of the inscription is chiseled: Sam'l
Chapman, landed Sept. the 9, A. D.
1907. Left the 9 August, 1SO8," fol-
lowed by fairly good replica of an
American flag with the thirteen orig
inal stars, and then in letters larger
than the others the name "E.
Wright"
The record appears to be of the
landing of three separate expeditions
from the vessels, Samuel Chapman,
David Christy and E. Wright, and the
recurrence of the name Thaddeus
Beecher "of the Triumph, arivt in
1907" indicates that Thaddeus re-
turned to the island after his first
visit. Perhaps Chapman, Christy and
Wright are the names of the ships
officers.
In those early days pirating was
not the lost art it has since become,
and it is possible that beneath the
rocky cliffs of the island unknown
treasures may be hidden. When Da-
Wis again visits the place he will be
prepared to excavate the entire rock
in the hope of finding additional data.
In any event the discovery of the in
scriptions may be of the utmost i'm
portance, for in the event of war
with Mexico or with a foreign power
it might become of great value.
1t is large enough to provide coal
ing station, and is said to be rich in
minerals. 1t is entirely out of the
ordinary lanes of travel and for that
reason has remained practically un-
known for all these years. Some one,
years ago, Spanish friars probably,
imported few goats to the island,
end now 10000 Of these animals are
its sole possession barring an occas-
Sional hunter who goes there to kill
them for their hides.
The island is $40 miles from San
Ii.ego and 100 miles from the near
est Mexican port of St. Thomas 1,
is surrounded by deep water, and 4
fleet of warships could easily finl
steiter beneath its precipitous cliffs
IT. strategic Importance to botl
Mexico and the United States is great,
AID if its original discovery by Amer
leans can be established, the war de
partment may decide to take an in
tc.est in the matter.
another discovery Davis and his as
sociates made on their visit was the
wreck of a gasoline engine, and a
diving suit No trace Of the unfor-
tunate voyagers could be found. and
behind the find may rest another mys-
terry of the sea.

Tells of the Work Done in
Rebuilding Phone System

Los Angeles Times: The entire
telephone system Of the Imperial val
ley has been reconstructed and i'm
proved in the last three months. The
work has been accomplished by special
trains and large forces of experts
and laborers. A special train on the
Southern Pacific unloaded $4,000 poles
and $4,000 cross arms in the valley IN
one day. C. F. Mason, division super
intendent of the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph company, returned yester-
day from an inspection of the vast i'm
provements.
Many new toll lines were built be-
tween towns in the valley. All Of
these connect direct with Los Angeles
and aid materially in improving the
long-distance service between the
city and the valley. Exchanges were
moved into larger quarters. New and
larger switchboards, were installed.
Practically all inside office equipment
was overhauled.
Chief operators for the larger ex-
changes were brought to the city and
trained in the telephone company's
operating school, The principal ex-
changes are at Imperial, Ell Centre,
Brawley, Holtville, Calexico, Heber,
Dixieland and Seeley.
eve rebuilt the entire telephone
system, said Mason. "The business
had outgrown the equipment. After
we had started improvements we
went ahead, at much extra expense,
and provided for future expansion
in the firm belief that the valley has
bright prospects.
"Our company is fully alive to the
splendid future Of the valley and we
are doing everything possible from
telephone standpoint to advance it's
Imperial Valley press., 1913-09-22

interests. Considerable responsibility
devolves upon US as the Imperial
Telephone company is not under our
direct control. 1t represents an in
tegral part of the Mountain States
Telephone company, whose head
quarters are at Denver. Consequent
ly, being so far removed, it is like
ly to be somewhat overlooked if we
do not give it our attention. Its prox-
unity to Los Angeles makes it i'm
portant fur US to superintend it's
growth and constantly increasing
needs.
1--WE built several toll lines in the
valley for special use in handling the
cantaloupes and other crops. An in
cident that came upder my observa-
ton during my recent visit illustrates
how the ranchers are using the tele-
phone to advantage
"A buyer from Ell Paso called upon
a ranchman and almost persuaded
him to accept a certain price for
his years crop. The ranchman, how
ever, took the precaution to call a
commission house in Los Angeles. He
learned that the price had advanced
and he sold the crop in the city at a
figure $1,000 above what the foreign
buyer had offered"
The toll lines of the Pacific conf
pany were extended from San Ber-
nardino to Imperial valley several
years ago at a cost of more than
$250,000. An interesting feature If
their construction was the use of the
Puplin loading coils, which receive
the sound waves from the toll wires
and accentuate their intensity, with
the result that a voice is heard as
distinctly for several hundred miles
as in conversation here in the city.
