Club where the autos waited to
take them on a round o f the
schools.
The school children
turned out in a body to welcome
the veterans and cheered and
waved flags as they passed. At
the University of Oregon, as the
procession moved slowly through
the campus, the students lined
up and gave the soldiers cheers.
There were 12 autos in the par
ade, furnished free by the patri
otic citizens. The veterans ap
preciated their courtesy very
much.
At their meeting last night,
Mayor Yoran delivered the ad
dress of welcome to the veterans
and Reverand Callison followed.
Mr. Callison told what the order
of the Grand Army of the Re
public stood for and the lessons
taught by the organization after
the great conflict. Commander
S. W. Taylor then called for re
marks from several of the mem
bers and Comrades Bartlett,
Hesse, Griffin, Dority and Bush
responded with appropriate re
marks.
Iron Treasure Chest Found.
Charles H. Villar, a contractor
at Pensacola, Fla., found an iron
chest buried in the shallow
waters of Bayou Chico. The
chest contained Spanish doub
loons and silver pieces estimated
to total between $7,000 and $10,-
000 .
It is believed the treasure was
buried by pirates who made the
bayou their rendesvous in early
days.—Ex.
TW O FINE DINNERS.
One of the most important and
most interesting events of the
whole reunion was the grand
free dinner given the veterans
by the W. R. C, and the Ladies
of the G. A. R. Both banquet
rooms, one at the G. A. R. hall
and the other at the W. O. W.
hall, were crowded during the
noon hour with the soldiers and
their wives. The best in the

Oregon Agricultural College,
Corvallis, Oct. 8.—Breaking the
world’s egg-laying record, hen
No. C543, of the Oregon Agri
cultural College poultry depart
ment, was yesterday given the
title of ‘ ‘the greatest hen in the
world.”
The fowl today laid
her 284th egg within a year.
This is two better than the
former world’s record and three
better than the United States’
record.
The world’s record was made
by a hen at the Ontario Agricul
tural College in 1911 and the
record for the United States was
made by Lady Show Me, of the
Missouri State Poultry Station,
several months ago.
The local bird has six days to
go yet before her year will be up
and may bring her record to
280. She was hatched on April
29, 1912, and ‘ Ixgan laying five
and one-half months later. Her
dam was a cross-bred Barred
Plymouth Rock and White Leg-
Hom and her sire was a son of
her dam and a White Leghorn.
Professor Dryden, who is in
charge of the
department,
ascril>es the record to the breed
ing of the hen, the constitutional
vigor, which he said undoubted
ly came from crossing, and to
good feeding and housing.

Dear Mrs. Morss:
I will try to write you a few
of my Western experiences this
afternoon. Please pardon me
for Writing with a pencil, but I
couidn’ t carry ink everywhere I
went, and now I am forty miles
from town without any.
Cottonwood and Grangeville
are the nearest towns. I am
living along Divide Creek, which
runs along the Salmon and Snake
rivers. Am only a few miles
from the Oregon line. When on
top of the mountains here, I can
see over into Washington, Ore
gon and Montana. I like this
part of the country very much.
The mountains are covered with
grass and pines.
They are
Eieautiful at sunset. Words can
not picture the soft, mellow
colorings of nature. I never tire
of gazing at the hills, but, Oh, I
get tired of climbing them. I
have bought a pony and saddle,
so I can ride about and enjoy
myself. The pony has a colt.
He is a fine little fellow and I
call him Prince. Old Betty is so
good to stay here and graze
within a short distance. Most
of the horses wander off so far
and are hard to catch. I have a
cow and calf also, and more sur
prise still, I have also taken a
ranch. There was a chance of
my getting a home by taking
this place, so I was either penny
wise or pound-foolish. The ranch
joining mine on the west sold
for $1200 and is not near so good
a place as mine. I thought that
I could stay the fourteen months
and then commute and Eiave just
as much as though I had taught
school this year. Have been
living on my place since the 21st
of July. Had a little shake
