THIS MAN HARNESSED
AN IDEA
Now It Is Working For Him

Few successes are by chance. They
don't just happen. Most of them have
their origin in single idea, small and
insignificant it may be, but none the
less definite and concrete. An idea
corralled, harnessed and put to work
by somebody who has the hafdihood
and enthusiasm necessary to keep it
at work. -.
This story is just about that-an
idea and man. %
When C. C. Cantwell, owner of the
&c Egg Ranch came to Hover IL
years ago he had nothing, not even
an idea. He was an invalid with
empty pockets and his immediate mis-
sion in life was living, or rather keep
ing out of the hands of the under
taker. He came this way in the hope
that the low altitude and the sun
shine of the Columbia Valley might
aid him in accomplishing that mis-
sion. He has succeeded. Today he
is the hale and robust proprietor of
the largest, most modernly equipped
and scientifically managed poultry
Matching plan in the northwest, plant
which if it maintains its present rate
of growth will within a few years
take rank with the very largest of its
kind in the west.
After arriving at Hover, Mr.. Can't
well purchased, or rather contracted
for the purchase of 16 acres of raw
sage brush land and paid down on the
deal $500, his entire capital. He had
left his family behind in Walla Wal
la where his wife had undertaken to
support herself and the kiddies. He
established bachelor quarters in a
shack and tackled the sage brush. At
the end of the first year he was un-
able to meet the interest payment to
say nothing of increasing his $500
equity in the ranch.
It is trangressing somewhat to say
that Mr.. Cantwell came here with
nothing. He had nerve. Nor did
this quality languish as the outdoor
life gradually gave new strength to
his muscles and new blood to his veins.
With returning health came the de-
termination to win. He worked early
and late and battled alike with the
untamed soil and his creditors. At

work goes forward with the regular
ity of the clock. And the length OF
a working day for the pullets is Ia
hours. They go to work at a. m.
when the electric lights are switched
on In the laying houses and go to
bed at s p. m. when the lights go out.
The central idea around which the
days work revolves is egg production.
Mr.. Matthews has no desire to make
record. He is in the business to
make money and isrpaking it. Before
the season is over Ne expects to bring
his flock up to rs per cent egg pro-
duction and better and his flock is
not selected. Not a pullet has beeA
culled out of the entire lot. They are
just as they came from the &c Egg
incubators, good, bad and Indifferent
all together. Evidently the bad and
Indifferent are greatly in the minor
ity. The Riverside laying houses are
the busiest places in the valley. 1t
will do the pessimist good to visit
them.
What Mr.. Matthews has done others
can do. There should be scores of
similar plants in this valley. 1t is to
this end that Mr.. Cantwell is directing
his efforts. Although he can find
ready sale for every chick he can hatch
at $40 and $22 per hundred, he is Of
fering them for sale locally at SIT
and SIS. He will start his incuba-
tors next month and make his first
deliveries early in March.

MURDERED MAN
SHOT I TIMES
Autopsy Reveals Facts Man
Still Unidentified Several
Clues Failed

NEW BRUNSWICK. Nov. l.
The autopsy performed yesterday
afternoon by County Physician John
l.. Suydam on the body of the man
who was mysteriously murdered near
the Russian cemetery at South River
on Sunday afternoon revealed the
fact that seven bullets had entered
the mans body and not four as had
been originally believed. All efforts
on the. part of the county detectives
to learn the identity of the man or
of the murderers to date have failed.
A slip of paper containing the
names of two women with Provi-
dence addresses was looked upon as
a clue by County Detective Ferd A.
David. who is in charge of the case,
but the authorities in that city were
unable yesterday to locate any such
persons at the addresses given. An
investigation which has been under
way in Baltimore in connection with
the murder has failed to give any
results.
In cross examination Coan tried
to bring out the fact that Kovalsky
had served time in Pittsburgh be-
fore coming to Perth Amboy for
crime he had committed. This Kov-
alsky denied. During the cross
questioning Kovalsky denied that he
had told the Perth. Amboy police
that Mortiko had killed Sariko, but
said that he did inform the police
that Moritko had attacked the de-
ceased.
1t is believed a .S2 automatic re-
vclver was used by the murder or
who stood directly in
front of the victim and fired at
close range. The bullets were steel
capped automatic ammunition. One
entered under the mans chin; an
other went through the neck: a
third entered the right side of the
Jaw and was recovered: fourth
entered one ear and came out
through the skull, while the fifth
entered the left side of the nose and
imbedded itself in the brain. Two
other bullets entered the mans
shoulder. The bullets which were
recovered were bent over ,indicat-
ing that the shots were fired de-
iiberately at short range.
County Detective David believes
the man was lured' to the cemetery
by one or more persons contemplat-
ing robbery aware of the fact that
the unidentified man carried much
money or valuable papers.
