" H ’•’»! $l.7fi THE YEAR 4P TREE-TOP HEN LAYS , IN SQUIRREL’S NEST Fate of Chicltea», if Eft« Allow«! to Hatch, Raises Query for Naturalist. White Salmon. Wash March 2«.— G. C. Crow, mayor of White Sal mon, own» a hen that ha» always been eccentric. In her youthful day» »he evinced a liking for high place» and chose to roost at night in the t«<p cf a tree, rather than on the perch provided for her. with her bro her« and sister». This spring the family were eon winced that the hen had stolen a nest but could not locate it, until one day recently they heard the fa miliar announcement that an egg had been laid, and the hen was seen to fly out of a tall fir tree. A neigh bor's I my was borrowed, who "shin- ned” up the tree to discover at lea»t 40 feet above the ground in an aban doned squirrel's nest six large hen’ eggs If the hen had l»een allowed to hatch the eggs what would have become of the chick», and would the mother have taught them to fly? A Long Joy Ride. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Robert» ar rived last Friday and are visiting Mr». Roberts' father. J. A. C. Brant. They spent the past year in Kansas where Mr. Roberta was radio and tel egraph instructor in a military school. Desiring to get bark home. Seattle, and having plenty of time, they decided to drive their ear and went South to Dallas. Texas, to get a good start with their Chevrolet and to avoid the snows and bad w<-ather along the northern route. Coming west they crossed Texas. Arizona, New Mexico and California and traversed the latter slate north. Carrying camp equipage they were independent of hotels and eating houses, stopping on the way when and where fancy dictated. 1 hough the roads al times were pretty bad, on the whole they enjoyed the trip, seeing the country that otherwise was impossible. They will continue their northward journey Saturday, stopping a few days each at Salem and Portland.
