SUNDAY, AUGUST it, 1907, THE MORNING ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. DYNAMITE ANNOYS OLD HENS YOUNGER GENERATION OF DOMES TICATED FOWL SCARCE THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF EXTENSIVE OPERATIONS IN RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION. The chicken crop of northern ClaUop county is liable to show up short this year if reports heard from local breeder cf hens art true. It is claimed that the blasting operations on the other side of the river and the recent thunderstorms have knocked the genu of generation endways in the eggs under "sittin'" bene, with the result that young chick ens tiiis year are scarce. . - Whether the operations in railroad building along the Columbia River tare been so extraordinary as to ' cause a famine in hen fruit to confront the citi zen of Northern Oregon has not yet been ascertained. . If this is so, relief will not be felt only by some of the theatrical companies which expect to play here this fall tStill, a prospective famine in this well known delicacy produced by the domes tie ten a delicacy which should be early taken advantage of is a serious The mouth of the Columbia at least on the shores lias become a givat district heretofore for the raising of chickens. An important question among hen raiser has come up because of the above facts. It is cither the railroad must come and the hen lie left to their tote, or the hens should hold the field against the railroads. This serious mat ter ha not vet become a state question. but there are prospects of tn old hens having a representative for their cause in the house ugaiust a representative of eneregtic railroad building, if the ques tion is not settled one way or the other before election day.

One lady in this city placed 13 eggs unlucky number under a hen which wanted to become a mother several weeks ago. Ten of the eggs were brok en by a rooster which butted into the hatching process. They were replaced by ten more. During the time of the replacement several blasts were felt to shake the ground from the railroad op erations across the river. The last ten eggs produced the same number of chicks while the other three were overlooked by the stork or what ever represents if among the chickens. This is but one instance of several re corded in and around Astoria, and con siderable discussion has arisen as to whether unlucky 13 ,or the blasting op erationsof the railroads has been the cause of an anti-suicidal aspect on the part of the hens. In a number of cases there was no offspring whatever to solace the weari some sentinel duty of the hens. This fact was attributed to the extensive blaating operations across the river and the unusual thunderstorms this season.
