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.
