By United Press
DETROIT, April 2.-Laying two
eggs within a ralf hour was the I'M
usual performance of Queenie, one
of the Belle Isle Zoos two oStricheS.
The eggs. weighing about three
pounds each, would provide an
omelette for a score or so people,
but John Ireland. director of the
ZOO, has other ideas. He believes
the eggs are fertile, and so has
placed them in an incubator.
Two eggs in one day from an
ostrich is almost unheard of, Ireland
said. Usually they lay from one to
a dozen eggs in season, with sew

CAVALRY HORSE
GOES BALKY ON
FOREIGN RIDER

LOS ANGELES. aug. j. U.R -
Don Anthony, big chestnut geld
ing and the pride OF the United
States army, today was resting
from one of the most strenuous
and futile-efforts on record in the
Tenth Olympic games.
Don Anthony was one CT the 20
United States cavalry mounts used
by American and foreign riders in
the pentathlon, an event Which
taxes the stamina Of man and ami
NAL. He was drawn by Baron dc
Heredia of Portugal and he and
the baron did not get along.
The horse bolted on entering the
test jumping field adjoining the Ri
viera stables and took run OF
about two miles, leaping over
bitches and two barb wire fences
before he was headed to the stable.
There he ran through the corral
and cleared a high fence to dash
another three miles before he was
controlled and returned to the
starting point.
Given the signal, Don Anthony
dashed headlong over the course
but when he reached the last jump
he refused to take it. He then was
ridden around and raced madly to
the finish line in a state OF IA
tigue which suggested a human
marathon runner.

DOUBLE PROGRAM
OFFERED TONIGHT
AT FOX AIRD0ME'

Although many fail to realize it,
the World war was not fought en-
tirely on the western front. Spec
tacular as was the four years of
battling there, the war carried on
between Austria and Italy, high in
the Alps, was even more so, for
there Nature was even harsher than
it was in France.
For the first time in films, the
Italian-Austrian war has been re-
produced on the screen in THE
Doomed Battalion" which plays
tonight and tomorrow at Fox I'M
perial airdome.
Men struggling through the
mountainous SHOWS of the Alps,
dragging their heavy guns with
them, fighting on treacherouS
peaks. scooting across open spaces
on skiis-all combine to make
THE Doomed Battalion" one of the
epics of the screen.
Tala Birell, a new star of the
pictures; Luis Trenker and Victor
varconi have the leading roles in
this thrilling, romantic drama.
Albert Cont, Henry Armetta and
Gustav Won Seyffertitz are in the
supporting cast.
The Doomed Battalion" is war
on a basis never before attempted.
1t is not all bloodshed and carnage,
for the plot carries a beautiful ro-
nance of patriotism and love.
The airdome management offers
double attraction, with Vanity
Fair" based on Thackeray's famous
novel, being shown at $3.50. Myrna
10y heads an excellent cast pre-
senting this beautiful story in a
modern setting. Those familiar
with the old story Of Becky
Sharpe" will not miss this film.

Planning Early
Development Of
SaltOn Sea Area


Carl NJ. Einhart, public utility
man residing at Arcadia, and c. A.
Winder, consulting engineer of Los
Angeles, were visitors at the El
Centro Chamber of Commerce yes
terday, and announced to Manager
Robert Hays that their organiza-
ton is ready to proceed with eX-
ploration work in the north end of
Imperial Valley, incidental to the
production of carbon dioxide gas
and the manufacture of dry ice,
Just as soon as formal leases are
executed by Imperial Irrigation dis
trict to Einhart. The organization
has several thousand acres of pri-
vately owned lands northwest OF
Calipatria under lease, and, in the
statement made to Hays, only await
the signing of district leases to
complete the block" of land nee
essary to support the manufactur-
ing plant for the conversion OF
the carbon dioxide gas into dry
ice. The lands lie generally in and
rear township IL south, range Is
east, which is the southeast corner
of the Salton Sea.
The plans of Einhart and Winder
are to drill several 12-inch gas
wells, which will be tied together
With a pipe line. The plant loca-
ton will be determined as soon as
the wells are completed and cased.
Chamber of commerce staff was
advised that local labor will be
used exclusively in this important
development project, and that pref
erence will be given to men ana
families who have given leases to
Einhart and his associates. This
means that the labor supply Will
be drawn from the north end OF
Imperial Valley, where the organl-
cations principal operations VIII
be conducted. Drilling operations
should commence within the next
few weeks, it was stated, so that
the proposed dry ice plant can be
completed and in operation by
early spring. -,
At chamber of commerce head
quarters Manager hays was ~
formed that development OF the
first unit of the project :ncludes
drilling four wells for carbon di-
oxide gas, which geologists contend
will be found in abundance at a
depth of about 600 feet. To use
this in the manufacture of dry ice
it is planned by the developers TO
erect a carbon dioXide COMPRISING
plant to convert the gas into dry
ice. Initial cost Of wells and plant
will run into the hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars.
This development will mean
much to Imperial Valley" said
Manager Hays. "Geologists have
stated that carbon dioxide gas eX-
lists in this locality in pure and
natural state, and is available from
wells at exceedingly low cost. With
in the last five years use OF dry ice,
which is solidified carbon dioxtde
gas. has increased enormously. Its
manufacture here may mean much
new wealth to this community"

Seven separate items are listed
in the request OF the couple for
greater damages than those listed
in the states complaint. These are:
A dwelling house Of concrete con-
struction, with a cement floor. Be-

DISTRICT ADOPTS
RESOLUTION ON
TOLL CHARGES

That money received by the I'M
perial Irrigation District from COL
lection of tolls or other water
charges between March Is and July
of this year may be applied on
the second installment of 1881 dis
trict assessments, upon presenta-
ton of receipt, was the subject
of a resolution adopted yesterday
afternoon by the district directors.
The resolution follows:
Resolved that until the further
order of this board any money re-
ceived by the district for tolls and
charges for the use of water be-
tween March is, 1882, and July l.,
1882, under Rule "a" as provided
by resolution of this board adopted
March Is, 1882, except for the gate
service charge of IS cents per day,
shall upon presentation of the re-
ceipt for the payment for said toll
TO the collector CT the district en-
title the owner or holder thereof to
apply the money heretofore paid
to the district as represented by
said receipt upon the second in
stallment CT the 1881 district as
sessment upon the land upon which
the water was used, provided such
assessment is paid in full by the
application of said money thereto
fore paid and OF otherwise before
the same goes to sale on September
8, 1882.
"Be it further resolved; that this
resolution and this rule shall not
be construed as in any manner eff
fecting any other rule of the dis
trict, but shall apply only to the
application of monies received for
tolls and charges for water deliv-
cred prior to July /, 1882, as pro-
vided herein"
Directors of the district yester-
day afternoon adopted a resolu-
ton endorsing the plan of the I'M
perial County Farm Bureau for de-
ferred payment of district bond
principal and interest, in order that
the tax rate might be lowered and
taxpayers encouraged to meet their
assessments.
The farm bureau plan, roughly
outlined yesterday by Scott B.
Foulds, 5ecretary-manager of the
farm bureau, calls for cessation
of payment on bond principal for
six years, and for non-payment of
interest for the coming year. Dur
ing the next six years the payments
will be increased gradually until
the district again is financially
sound, according to this plan.
