 The market was quiet, as buyers did not want such large amounts, and because quite an advance asked by owners. Asking prices were somewhat above buy CTS views but since top grade cars were salable for December delivery at the be- low listed prices owners were holding firm. The same was true of storage but ter of the better grades.

Then, just as the country youth, sur
rounded by the smiling office force,
was about to shoulder his typewriter
and go forth among the pitfalls Of the
great city, the big boss happened along
and stopped to learn the cause of the
cOmmotion. The boss seemed interest
ed and directed that the young man
be sent into his private office.
The interview lasted several min
utes. 1t developed that one of the
travelling statesmen of the firm thought
he would play joke on the ambitious
clerk of a general store where he was
selling a bill of goods. He had told
the young man that the firm wanted
him and all he had to do was to ship
his typewriter, go down to the city
and make his fortune.
When the country youth came out
of the boss private office he walked
over to his typewriter, kicked the
crate off, put the machine on a desk
and settled down on his road to the
vice presidency of the concern

Island and Title of
Prince for $4,000

Cagliari, Sardinia-Why marry a
worthless prince when you can buy a
principality and bestow it on a hus-
band of your own choice? So argued
an enterprising Sandman realtor in
trying to sell Mediterranean island
to an American woman.
The woman was not in the market
for a title, either with or without q
prince, but she promised to mention
the alluring prospect to some of her
friends, and thus extracted further in
formation about the property from the
enterprising real estate man. He with
held the name, but assured her the
island is well located and is highly de-
slrable, both as a summer and winter
residence. 1t has an old castle, which
is III need of repair, several hundred
acres of vineyard and farm land badly
In need of modernization, and two viii
lagos, also badly in need of repair,
with about 800 Inhabitants.
The entire property is offered for
$4,000, the princely name included,
with guaranty that the present hold
er OF the title will legally sanction it's
transfer.

SPOKANE & INLAND EMPLOYE
MAY BE FATALLY BURNED

Gus Alderman, assistant road mas

with headquarters at Spring Valley,
was seriously if not fatally injured
Wednesday, during the winstorm, by
coming in contact with a high volt
age wire. One of the wires had fall
en- across the track, according to the
story told the Star-Mirror, and Ack-
erman was attempting to remove it
with stick of wood when the wind
threw it against him, burning his
back and one arm terribly. He was
taken at once to Sacred Heart hos
pital, Spokane, where it was found
It would be necessary to amputate
the arm, and doubt was expressed as
to the recovery of the man, according
to word received here.
Alderman has been with the Spo-
kane & Inland for number of years
and was member of the train crew
Tor some time, coming into Moscow in
he evening and remaining over
night. He made his home at the |

Colony House System of
Poultry Raising Favored

One of the many advantages of the
colony house system of poultry rails
ing Is that the birds have ample op.
portunity to find animal food, such as
bugs, worms, grasshoppers, etc. This
is very necessary part of the diet If
you are raising poultry for the eggs
they will produce. If you have NOV
able houses for the flock, place them
near fields likely to harbor destructive
insects; this will protect the crop and
at the same time provide the necessary
animal food.

EGGS 10 MILLION
YEARS OLD FOUND
Nest MADE by Dinosaur DiScov-
cred in Mongolia by Members
of American Expedition.

Pekin.-Dinosaurs, the colossal rep
tile creatures of prehistoric era
laid eggs five to six inches long. They
had nests like any gentle domestic fowl
Of today.
The early mammalian beasts Of Asia
and America were kin and roamed
across the two continents on the land
bridge that joined them in those re-
mote times.
These are some of the discoveries an
nounced by the third Asiatic expedi-
! ton of the American Museum of Natur-
! al History on its return here after five
months on the Monaghan plains.
Nine Tons of Fossils.
| The party was in Picking recently
| with what it's members termed the
| largest find of the remains of prehis-
toric animals in the history of paleon-
tology. Nine tons of fossils have been
collected and will be shipped to Amer
lea.
One of the leaders of the expedition,
Henry Fairfield Osborn, the paleontolo-
gist, said the fossil beds found in
Mongolia were the largest known to
science. For the first time, he ex-
planned, explorers had at their disposal
terrestrial deposits of enormous extent,
still preserved in their pristine gran
deur, thus enabling the reconstruction
of much of the life in the middle period
of the reptilian age.
The adventures of science returned
with the opinion that they had proved
the Monaghan plateau to have been the
center of dispersion of the most an
cient animals traced.

Iceland to Use Hot

essential commodity, it has been an
nounced the Icelanders are about to
do away with that heating medium.
Authorities in Reykjavik, the capital,
are considering utilizing the natural
hot springs and geysers there to heat
the whole country.
Preliminary plans call for the wa

The waters from the gcysers and
springs are both sulphurous and
radioactive, and it is hoped a medi-
