SPLENDID NEW
SPECIMENS FOR
SAN DIEGO zoo
Many Rare Specimens
Sent by Marines In
&: Nicaragua

SAN DIEGO, July 5.-When the
United States naval transport Ar
gonne docked at the pier recently,
fine collection of birds and small
animals was unlOadcd and delivered
to Director Buck of the San Diego
zoo. The shipment included pair
of rare spider monkeys with a baby
monk, five giant iguanas, noun
tain tiger Ga specimen of the Mica.
raguan Jeopardy, 81 assorted par
rots and parrakeets, pair of but
terms, a pair of giant plover, a cur
rosow, a toucan and a few small
tropical birds. The collection made
the voyage from Nicagagua in good
shape and were at once taken to
the zoo.
The Geological Society and the
people of San Diego are indebted
to Brig. Gen. Joseph Pendleton for
this interesting addition to the ZOO.
The general arranged with Major
John Marston, in charge of the ma
rine detachment Of the American
legation at Managua, Nicaragua, to
obtain specimens of Nicaraguan
fauna and send them to San Diego
on naval transports touching at that
point. Major Marston succeeded in
assembling really fine collection
as the first contribution from the
marines to San Diego s ZOO.
Further shipments of Central
American animals and birds will be
sent to the zoo by its friends in the
service.

Boy Scouts Are
Having The Time
of Their Live S

The daily program at the San
Diego Imperial Valley Boy Scout
camp is now in full swing on Point
Iona and the parents of the boys
may be assured that their sons are
enjoying every mimute. Two swims
in the sparkling bay each day,
training in second and first-class
tests and for merit badges, hikes
to all parts of the Point, daily in
spection, athletics and the evening
campfire are making the time fly
for the lads
Pyramidal tents have been set up
on Il site near the end of the Point.
Here also portable camp kitchen
has been placed with two cooks III
charge. Every Scout in the camp
will spend at least one day and II
night in this camp. Scouts will leave
the main camp one morning and re-
turn the next.
The training program for the
camp is as follows: Second class
Scouts will drill tenderfoot Scouts
in second-class work, and first tclass
Scouts will drill second-class Scouts
in firstclass work. Merit badge
Scouts will receive expert instruc-
tion from examiners who will be
brought into the camp from San
Diego.
Signaling and first aid have al
ways been the stumbling blocks for
Scouts making second and first
class ranks. TO help the boys over
these stumbling blocks, the camp
has two experts, one in signaling
and one in first aid. Signaling will
probably be handled through one of
the men from the marine base, and
first aid by the doctor who is sta
toned at Fort Rosecrans. Cooking
tests will be coached by Cook
Sealy. l
There will be only 90 merit
badges which can be passed in
camp, the. Others not being practical
for camp life.

Two Survivors
of D0nner Party
Die in "a Hours

SACRAMENTO, Cal, July s.
The hand of death by strange CO.
incidence fell yesterday at about
the same time upon two of the
few remaining figures of one of
California; & most stirring historical
episodes. While the news was be-
ing received of the death Of Mrs.
Martha Reed Lewis, survivor of the
Donncr party, at her home at East
Twin Lakes, Santa Cruz county, a
fellow member Of that ill-fated
party was breathing her last in her
home i'll Elk Grove.
The second survivor to die with
ing "a hours was Mrs. Elitha c..
Wilder, daughter of Robert Don
but because of her weakened con
dition could not be informed that
the ranks of those who remembered
the terrible journey in 1916 had
.hrunk again.
Mrs. Lewis was 81 years old and
Mrs. Wilder 81. Mrs. Wilder is
not only famous because she is the
daughter of the leader of the DON
ner party, but because of her part
in the early history of California.
She came to Elk Grove shortly .af-
ter the living members of the Don
ner party were rescued from the
snow bound shores of Donner Lake
and has lived there for the past
fifty years.

1000 SPECIMENS
BROUGHT BACK
FROM LOWER CAL
Months Stay in Noun
tains Below Border
Gives Rich Yield

Members of the international co.
operative scientific expedition which
left San Diego at the end of May
for natural history reconnaissance
of the Sierra San Pedro Martir,
Low California, have just returned
after most successful trip. The
scientists and the organizations
which they represented are as fol
lows: Prof. J. Ms Gallegos, Ma
tional museum, Mexico City; l.. M.
Huey and John King, San Diego
Natural History museum John Van
Dcnburgh and Joseph r. Slevin,
California &cademy of Sciences, San
Francisco; and A. w. Anthony,
ornithologist.
At the Natural History museum.
Balboa park, yesterday members OF
the expedition were enthusiastic
over the results of the trip and
the satisfactory arrangements that
were made possible through the
generosity of the Mexican govern.
ment. More than 1000 specimens
were brought back, some of which,
after comparison, may be found to
be new to science.
Snakes Collected
Two members of the expedition
devoted their time largely to her
petology and collected many inter
esting species of snakes, lizards,
turtles, and the like. 1t is worthy
of note that upon the higher levels
of the Sierra San Pedro Martir
only two rattle snakes were obtain
ed during the entire trip.
"From Ensenada we motored to
San Telmo,' said Mr.. Huey, in
recounting the experiences of the
party yesterday afternoon. "Here
the packers and packtrain were en-
gagged the latter consisting of II
burros and 10 saddle horses. Three
days. were occupied in reaching the
camp site on the mountains, which
was made in a region known as La
Grulla, a point accessible for gen
erh collecting at an elevation of
about 1000 feet. The highest peak
IN the Sierra San Pedro Martir is
about 10000 feet. The region around
La Grulla was found to resemble the
Bear valley region in the San Ber-
nardlno mountains, being on open
stand of virgin forest with yeArrey s
yelloy pine predominating.
Many Fires Set
Owing to the dry season in the
lower ranges there were many cattle
IN the mountains, which meant a
corresponding decrease in the bo-
tanlcal interest of the region.
Throughout our stay forest fires
were raging at one point or another
IN the mountains. The fires are
pprposely set by cattlemen be.
cause they think that it improves
feed conditions. Prof. Gallegos has
promised to take up the matter with
the Mexican government, with a
view to taking steps for the pre-
vention of this waste.'
The specimens which Mr.. Huey
has brought back for deposit in the
Natural History museum are of
great value from scientific stand
point, being the only specimens
ffom the Sierra San Pedro Mart1r
IN any museum on the Pacific coast.
Only three different scientific par.
ties had ever visited these noun
tains before, and their collections
are deposited either in Washington.
d. c., or Pittsburgh. -
Members of the expedition held

go hotel last night before the San
Francisco representatives started on
