toms of the ferceness which is us-
 ually characteristic Of this handsome
 bird, he was not too savage to be petted The bird was about the size of full-grown rooster, but had claws and feet which looked as though they might belong to a bird as large as an ostrich. He was too young to fly, and calmly occupied q place on wagon seat and ate candy and other donations which a curious crowd handed to him.
 The lad who owned the bird said that the latter's favorite diet con sisted of doves. The live birds were fed to him, the eagle taking the birds in one of his large talons, calmly biting its head off and then finishing his meal in two or three bites. Once in a while the eagle liked a young chip monk fed to him alive, and on the whole was not very particular what was fed to him just so it was alive The boys will make an effort to raise the eagle as a pet, but if it becomes too war-like and savage, 1t will be turned loose again and al- lowed to go its way.

UNITED CHINO TO CASE
 WELL IN A SHORT TIME
iFrom rridav's Daily.)

Drilling has been suspended by the United Chino Oil Co.,, due to caving ground. It will be resumed just as soon as the well can be cascd. A shipment of 14-inch and o5S-inch casing left Los Angeles yesterday.
 The depth of the well is around 750 feet It IS bottomed in a sand stone formation which, though hard, is fractured. At one place near the bottom there has been so much cay ing that the l6-inch hole is now six feet across.
 Twice the 40-foot string of tools was lost and the last time the hole was so large that the fishing tool passed by and was not stopped till it was within a few feet of the bot tom. Because of the fear that the tools would be permanently lost it was decided to discontinue drilling until casing can be put down.
 There are indications that the sand stone overlies a strata of water. It IS confidently expected that water will be struck within the next fifty feet.

Howard Biltey, who left this sec ton about three years ago to enlist in a Canadian regiment, has been heard from, and has up to date, es- capped the fate of many from Canada who have fallen in battle. A letter has been received from him presum- ably from France, and was written to Joe T. Alkers of Jerome, who is in the city en route to the coast.
 Excerpts are quite interesting, and he says: At this writing (April 2S) I am still going, but there IS no tell ing when life's roadway will fork and take me hence. Have been wounded twice, but am in good shape. My regiment has been cut to pieces, but every gap has been filled with fight CTS who are still eager for it. I am going to make application for a transfer to the Sammies, but 1t IS doubtful if I will get over to their sector. Of course you know why l am over here, it is because my mother was born at Charlottetown, Canada. although l am native of Detroit. My father is gone and during his life as an officer of the national guard of Michigan, always preached to me to get on the firing line if my country went to war. We'll, the next thing happened, and l am fighting for mother She gave her consent for me to go.

SUBSTITUTES FOR FLOUR
 MAY BE PRICED LOWER

FLAGSTAFF, June 13.-As a follow-up to the vigorous campaign instituted by the food administration for lower prices for substitutes a statewide survey is being made for the purpose of obtaining from the wholesalers and retailers definite fig ures showing the cost and selling price Of corn meal, milo maize flour and other substitute products.
 By this means it is planned to trace the profits from the time the raw material is taken in at the mill until ii is handed out over the counter to the consumer. Certain definite percentages of profit will be allowed for each link in the chain of dealers and any excess over these fixed profits will result in prompt ac- ton by the federal food authorities.
 Already prices of substitute com- moditics have begun to decline as the result of the activities of the food administration in this direction. Corn meal, for instance, which had been selling for as high as ten cents pound retail has been reduced to d maximum of eight cents by one large establishment at Winslow. From various sections of the State comes word of minor reductions in this and other substitutes.
 Dealers are warned that the re- placement rule forbids them to in- crease prices of food commodities bought prior to June 10, 1918, to the level caused by the increased freight rate effective at that date. This ap- plies to all food and feed commodi- ties.
