Exploits of Chickens Show Consider able Achievement. Whose hen lavs the largest egg A settlement of this ticklish question probably would inspire as much rival ry and jealousy among Oregon hen- raisers as is typical of the compe tition of proud mothers at a rural baby show. The immediate discussion was start ed recently when the fuct was told that a Cottage Grove hen owned by W. C. Billings laid an egg (V by 7 inches in circumference, and "looking as though it might hatch an ostrich." Along came R. L. Sampson, of Hillsdale, with the bold assertion that he had the "chnmpeen ' fowl. "Why, my best White Leghorn hen laid an egg that measured 8 by 8V4 inches,' he said. "It was big enough to hatch Siamese twins, weighing over four minces and having two yolks." Now comes business or protest from Astoria in the clam-eating county of 1 latsop. rleie is the terse way in which the Astorinn goes at it: "Just stay on your roast a minute and listen to this: Al Shroeder is displaying in the window ot the Acme grocery on Com mercial street an egg that measures 8& inches one way and 7 inches the other, and weighs five ounces. It is the product of .a Barred Plymouth Hock J years old last summer, and he weighed 12 pounds. Mr. Shroe der does not think the egg will hatch an ostrich ; he says it will hatch anoth er biddy like the one that produced t. "We guess we've got some egg, also." Apparently "stumped" by the As toria fowl, Leslie Haber, of 48 East Sixth street, Portland, respectfully presents for the consideration of the public a sextet from his hennery that show their respect for the high cost of living by laying a phenomenally large number of eggs and big ones, too. "Since January my six little hens have laid a daily average of 4 eggs," he said yesterday." The first egg laid by one of them, a Barred Ply mouth Rock, measured 7 inches around longitudinally. Her last egg, laid a few days ago, measured 3 inches. She set only three days and has laid an egg a day the rest of the time. All of these hens are 11 months old." Next, please, calls The Oregonian. day brought by the Portland Assoc iation of Credit Men at the instance of the Denny-Renton Clay and Coal company of Portland for the sum of $783.05 and interest and attorney's fees. The second attachment was brought by the Stayton State Bank for sums aggregating $775 and inter est. The Brown Planing Mill also some time ago attached some of the assets of the company to insure the payment of $208 alleged due on a bill of lumber furnished the defendants. Salem Journal. Change of Management. ' Messrs. H. Atkinson and L.' 0. Gib son of Portland have taken over the management of the Guthrie Daily, and their purpose is to increase, the herd from twenty to thirty cows, and pos sibly more, provided there is suffic ient demand tor their product, The Guthrie Dairy ha a milk route in Dal las, making deliveries each morning. Another Warning. When you desire a place to spend a vacation you usually go to the woods. You can not enjoy this priv- lege unless there are forests. You lesire hunting and fishing. The forest is a necessity if this pleasure is to be satisfied. The forest is the home of our game, and they must have a place o live, the forest furnishes clear cold water which makes fish life pos sible. You need pure air.' The trees are the greatest agents to purify the air. You need the flow of streams. egulated. The forest and the forest or are the great natural 'reservoirs which catch, absorb and hold moisture. You need the money which the forest pays in taxes to build roads and school houses. The destruction of a orest by tire is usually the result of carelessness. No one wishes to denv oil the privilege of an outing in the rest, but for the sake of the forest lie careful of fire. CUT THE ARMY RED TAPE. Willich Knew His Men and They Knew Hm and That Sottled It. There are times when the so called 'red tape" of the army gives way un der the stress of circumstances. At the battle of Chickamauga General Willich, who was commanding a bri gade, Incurred the displeasure of Gen eral Rosecrans, the commanding gen eral, by some slight omission. Gener al Willich was sent for and informed by the general commanding that be must consider himself under arrest for the present,., ' "You may leave your sword here," added Rosecrans, "until your case Is tried." . . . ' : "Yes, general, I will consider myself under arrest," was the reply, "and just as soon as this engagement is over, I'll come and fix up the matter." "But, sir." said the astounded Rose crans, "I want you to consider your self under arrest now." , ,"Of couive I do," responded Willich promptly, "and just as soon as this fight Is over I'll see that the matter is arranged." "But, sir," expostulated the com manding general, "I can't let you go into this fight. You are under arrest. I will assign an officer to -your bri gade." "You send an officer to command my boys!" cried Willich Indignantly. "He can't command them! They don't know him! They know me I can teach them. None of my boys would know how to fight or what to do un less I was with them. My boys belong to me. Yes, me. General Willich! I command the brigade, and I must flgbt the brigade!" -.'''' General Rosecrans gave it up. Gen-' eral Willich was requested to return "and fight his boys," which he did most successfully. And that was the end of the matter. Washington Star. How the Retreating Federals Handle Mexican RbIlin5tock BECOMING A BRITON. Easy For Aliens to Acquire Citizen ship In England. A large number of aliens become British subjects every year by taking advantage of the naturalization act The process of taking out naturaliza tion papers in, England Is delightfully simple.

The naturalization act of 18i0 re quires that the applicant shall have resided In the United Kingdom at least live fears and shall Intend, when nat uralized, ko continue to reside, here. The lease-of a house or antnpartment is sufficient to establlshTegnt residence. The landlord's word Is taken as suffi cient proof. The applicant has merely to fill In a blank with the details of bis residence and other Information and have the tacts as to bis residence veri fied by one British subject, while the applicant's respectability and loyalty must be vouched for by others. lie then files the application with a 1 fee at the borne office. A special Scotland Yard detective is assigned to inquire into the case and examine all the statements on the ap plicant's memorial.
