Lamon, senior poultryman Of the bu-
reau of animal industry, and at the
suggestion Of the chief of that bu-
reau Secretary Wallace named the
breed Lamona, for the originator.
The new fowl possesses character
istics of great merit. 1t has sufficient
size to fit the demands of the great
number of consumers who want bird
weighing four to six pounds. The
body Is long and of good depth, CIV
ing large amount of the highly de-
sirable breast meat, and at the same
time large capacity for the reproduc-
tive organs.
The Lamona fowl Is larger than the
Leghorn, approaching in size fowls of
the American class. 1t Is white, which
is most desirable from the market mems
viewpoint. 1t has comb and wat
ties of medium size which are not cas-
lily frosted, thereby checking develop
ment of egg production. 1t is well
feathered. which makes 1t resistant to
sudden changes In temperature.
Foundations of New Breed.
The project resulting In the creation
of the new Lamona was started in
1912, when the idea was conceived of
combining three varieties of fowls to
produce breed having the shape and
the market qualities of the Dorking
with a yellow skin, white plumage
and four toes, and laying white egg
A low-stationed, close-feathered White
Plymouth Rock male was mated to
n Silver-Gray Dorking female; and a
Single Comb White Leghorn male, hav-
ing rather small, low comb, was
mated to Silver-Gray Dorking fe-
male. Q
The second year the offspring of
these crosses were mated separately,
the females being trap-nested, and
only the high producers of the largest
and whitest eggs were used for breed
ers. Only males from high-producing
females have been used ut any time.
The third year the results Of the
crosses of the second year were mated,
and in addition, care was taken to
select white specimens with yellow
skins having only four toes. Since
then 1t has been a task Of careful Sc
lection and breeding.
The new breed is not yet ready for
introduction, and no specimens or eggs
will be sold until the characteristics
sought have been more firmly fixed.
1t is as well or better developed than
were several Of the breeds and va
rieties when they were introduced by
their breeders, but the specialists of
the department believe that 1t Is not

unless he be the wild man, and APP
parently he never reached the camp.
The next day two woodmen, named
La Hare and Payne, reported that
they had heard cries of some one In
trouble, coming from the woods, and
that they halloed and followed the
cries into the forest for fully three
hours without coming up with the
man. The wife of La Hare has add
ed to the mystery by reporting that
on the same day she saw from back
window of her home strange man,
naked to the waist, holding his hands
above his head, and wandering through
the brush. Soon afterward he dis
appeared into the woods.
Makes Appearances Daily.
Since then almost daily there have
been reports Of the mans appearance
and mysterious movements. but though
large numbers Of men have secured
the country for him, mona has been
able even to get sight Of him. At
times as many as 100 men, under
Sheriff Steenberge and the state con-
stables have been engaged in this
search. Their failure has only added
to the nervous strain under which the
women Of Sherry live. and which has
resulted In steps to protect children.
This action has been spurred by the
reports Of one boy chased by the man
with threats to kill him with his club,
and Of q little girl, left alone ip her
home. who was terrorised By the APP
pearsnce Of the man and his attempt
70 force his way into the house. Upon
these reports state troopers made a.
other attempt with the aid Of q police
dog to run the man down.

DEATH WARRANT

Aged Gambler Lets Cards Decide
Question Of Life or Death,
and Death Wins.

Detroit, Mich.-William McCay was
sixty-five years old, and for 81 years
he has made more or less precarious
living by gambling from Frisco to New
York and even In Europe. He had
often declared his belief that man
should die when he reached the age Of
sixty-fve. A few days ago he passed
this mark. An inventory of his world
ly goods showed he was worth exactly
u cents, besides his poor clothing. He
decided to let the cards determine
whether he should continue the game
or quit.
He locked the door Of his room In
roOming house and dealt the cards.

Maj. Gen. G. T. Menoher has ten
dered his resignation as chief of the
army air service and requested trans
fer to the command Of troops In the
field. Col. NJ. M. Patrick, who was
General Pershing's flying chief In

General Menoher's resignation Is
a climax to months of discord and
friction in the air service, which may
or may not be ended by the change.
The general has been at swords
points with his aggressive and out
spoken assistant, Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell. for long time, and it has
been regarded as inevitable that sooner
or later one or the other Of them
would have to resign.

TEAM WINS OVER TYE.

The G. n. Lumber Company's ball
team journeyed to Tye last Sunday
and gave a good account of them
selves by defeating the local team
there II to 8. This makes the thifi
successive victory for the sawmi.l
boys who, after having been subject
to the vagaries of fortune, are nov
playing splendid game of ball.
The team at Tye is made up of a
number of young fellows who know
the game and a feature Of their team
is the clever play Of two Japs, who
hold the second base and short stop
positions. Briggs, pitching for the
visitors, had fifteen strikeouts to his
credit. The saw mill boys were roy
ally entertained by the good peop,e
Of Tye after the game. Dryden will

Co. team at Leayenworth next Sun-

pected.

A great meeting will be held at
Wenatchee tomorrow at . o'clock for
the purpose Of getting land owners
from Lake Wenatchee to Quincy to-

This canal as it is proposed to
build it will pass down the Chumstic',
and open thousands of acres of land
tributary to Leavenworth i land
which can be watered in no other
way; and it will also make it possible
to water much land all the way down
the Wenatchee valley which is now
above the existing bitches or unable
to. secure water rights from them.
The meeting, therefore, should be
attended by landowners and business
men all through this section and the

SMALL FIRE SATURDAY
MORNING

Last Saturday morning at about
$3.50 the alarm sounded and the fire
department was called to fire in an
outbuilding on the Robert Coleman
property to which the w. A. Tegt-
meier family had recently moved.
In unpacking their goods the Tcgi-
meiers had placed the crates and
packing cases in the shed. Saturday
morning when Mrs. Tegtmeier went
to the back door she saw the flames
bursting from the she'd and the fire
department was Immediately called.
The response was prompt and in ten
minutes the fire vas out and the de-
partment were loading up to return
tc the station
A stream of water from a garden
ht Sc had been turned on before the
fire department arrived and this nc
doubt prevented the fire from. gain
ing headway. TIL, high wind blowing
at the time would soon have spread
the fire to other sheds in the alley
had it not been for the quick work on
the part of neighbors as we'll as Of
the department.
The loss is small, perhaps running
to a hundred dollars or thereaboufs g..
The origin of the fire is unknown.
