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.

the St. Johns team this afternoon. The
Aatora team is in One fettle for the

too lightly.
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.
The object of the association will be I

Al Benson, of Warrenton, was locked
