Petaluma, Cali forn'a, with a population of 4,000 people and 1.000.000 chickens, has been recog nized at last by the national government as a great place. Experts of the Depart ment of Agriculture hive gotten out a report on this surburb of San Franc'sco, referring to it as the gold mine of the chicken industry. Tnis city of White Lsghorns has a chicken natchery, accDrding to the de partment, that is a whopper. It is pro bably the largest in the world. In the ; incubator house 30.000 eggs are in all ! stages of incubation, for, it should be ! understood, that that the chicken man lof Petaluma don't think of hatching I chickens by the hen. Not on hundredth : ftl l nr can t is broueht up that way.

About o.ujuu eggs are lain aany. aier ;s furnished oy a system of pipes city fasiion. Tie floors are all of concrete and the whole institut'on may be white washed in three hours by the use of machinery. The experts find that only White Leg horns be along to the "upper 400". This uDDer class has shown a sDscia! adapt ability for the condtions obtaining in the locality, and the Barred Plymouth Rocks and the Brown Leghorns are back num bers, not moving in the best society. The department finds that the sandy loam about Petaluma is the proper thing for the chicken industry. The eggs go to make up the large government orders and for shipment to Alaska, Hawaii, and the Philippines. SUMNfRVlLlf SIFTING Fine sleighing.

Within a short distance from the spot on' Coyote Peak whera an unknown man took hi life by drinking laudnunv eight year ago, N. Kelly, a miner formerly of this district, was found dead yesterday evening, by a youth who was rabbit hunting. . Beside the dead man was round an eight ounce bottle of carbolic acid, about two ounces of which had been swallowed hv him. He was frozen stiff and it was impossible to identify him otherwise than by the name -N Kelly which was tat nnn4 nn his ricrht forearm, A. E. Huschke. the youth who found the body, rushed to the city as soon as he mH. tha aruesome discovery, and Judge Currey, acting as coroner, and Undertaker W.lch immediately drove out to where the body lay and returned it to the morgue her. Th hodv lav in th midst of som houlder on th top of th peak and th carbolic acid was near th right hand. Nothing with the exception of 55 cents in money was found In th pockets and it appeared as though he had emptied his pockets to avoid .identification, as tha usual trinkets to be found about a person were missing. ' It was learned by the coroner from Dave Schoata that Kelly used to work at the Banzette mine in 1899 and 1900 and that he was also in the Coeur d'Alenes at th time of th strikes and the proclama tion of martial law by th lata Governor Stuenenburg. J-le was seen by a man by the name of Grant near th Baker City depot about a month ago. in an Intoxicat ed condition and so far as can be learned, was never seen after that time until he was found dead. - It it believed that he became despondent when he recovered from hit drunken spree and went to th desolat spot where he was found, to end his life, thinking that hi body would b destroyed by beast and that nothing more would be heard of him. . - A Creeping Death. Blood poison creep up toward tht heart, causing death. J. E. Stearna, Belle Plaine. Minn., writes that a friend dreadfully injured his - hand, which swelled up like blood poisoning.
