Ell CENTRIC, Cal, March :. :
"A woman should work.
Further than that she should
develop her ability in the business
world as a man does. II neces-
sary, she should dress like a man
and do the hard labor that men
are required to do"
This is the philosophy Mrs.
Della M. Foster, famous hog
rancher of the Imperial Valley, ap-
plies to her business.
Mrs. Foster recently shipped
four carloads of hogs comprising
400 animals, totalling in cash re-
turn approximately $500.
This is one of the largest single
shipments of hogs from the Valley
and undoubtedly the largest ship
ment ever raised by woman hog
ranches in the United States.
Mrs. Foster trusts no man.
She stood at the scales while the
hogs were being loaded and con-
stantly on the job supervising the
work.
The chief reason for Mrs. Fos-
ter's success is her interest in the
business.
Ii pig squeals at night, she

tives of the nations in the city,
Prince Henry offered toast to
all countries.
Making the toasts in French
and in alphabetical order, the
first nation mentioned was Ger
many (Allemagne). After toast
ing Spain (Espagne), the United
States should have been men,
toned, since the French name is
Etats- Unis. Instead, Prince Henry
jumped to France.
Immediately. Dewey and
his aide walked out of the
banquet hall. He felt his
country had been insuIted.
Prince Henry had to apologize
personally for his conduct before
Dewey would consider the incident
closed.
The German prince explained
he had mistaken the French name
of United States for the German,
which is Vereinigte Staten, and
expected to mention this country
toward the end.

/ Mountain; the break itself 10
called Morgan's Gap.
No railroad has ever yet pene-
trated this southern country, de-
spite the rich mines in these
mountains, but 1t lies today In
much the condition of primitive
savagery that obtained when the
first rush was made for the Thief
River gold fields.
II is not to be understood that
law is an unknown equation be-
tween Calabasas and the Thief
River, or even between Calabasas
and Sleepy Cat. Business is done
in this country; but business must
halt everywhere with It's means of
communication. and in the Music
Mountain country it still rests on
the facilities of a stage line.
At Calabasas the Thief River
stage line maintains completely
equipped relay barns. They are
over twenty miles from Sleepy
Cat, but nearly fifty from Thief
River. The unequal division Is not
due to what was desirable when
the route was laid out, but to the
Calabasas spring.
There Is a queer inn at Gala
basas. A pioneer Thief River
prospector, mad with thirst,
| fought his way to the Calabasas
Spring, and wandered thence one
day into Sleepy Cat. In a delir-
ium of gratitude he ordered built
at Calabasas what he termed a
hotel, to provide comfort for flu
ture thirst-mad wanderers. 1t was
built of lumber hauled a thousand
miles a fearsome rambling
structure, big enough for all the
prospectotrs in the Rocky Noun
tains.
Having built this monument,
Icreditable to his goodwill rather
than his good sense, the unfortu-
nate man went really mad, and
had the sorry distinction of being
the first person to be put in the
insane asylum of Bear Dance.
Meantime, to tap the fast-devel-
Ioping gold fields, the freight route
and stage had been put in. and
the barns built a Calabasas. A
need naturally developed for at
least one feature OF hotel - a
bar-room. A newer lunatic an
swered the call Of civilization and
stocked the kitchen with liquors,
and fitted up sleeping quarters.
| And this shack, as II is locally
called, run by a Mexican, is still
the inn at Calabasas.
The very first time de Spain
made an inspection trip over the
stage line with Iefever, he was
conscious of the sinister air of
this lonely building. Lefever had
