Deserted unintentionally by the old hen, who died on the neat when they were but embryo it the egg, the oh lc kens were cast Into the manure pile. Days went by and no more thought was given to their once anticipated break Into the world. A week went by. Then the caretaker at Klrtland farm heard much "peeping" In the region of the manure pile. It dldnt quit but took- on Increased volume and a note of Insistence. He had quite forgotten the eggs, but decided to Investigate the noise. He started into the pile with the pitchfork and the peeping became louder.

Old Stage Again Among old time stage drivers who attended the bridge dedication at Yreka Saturday was, Fred Tlce of Medford, about whom the Yreka Journal has the following to say: "Mr. and Mrs. Fred Tlce of Medford arrived In Yreka this morning to at tend the Pioneers Bridge dedication. Mr. Tlce drove the 0-horse Concord stage at the celebration today. Mr. Tlce drove stage in '78 and 'BO from Bock Point to Levens Station, a 46 mile drive on the old stage route In southern Oregon, and the old stage road was closely aligned to the pres ent highway. It was at Levens sta tion that Mr, Tlce lost a six-horse team by spring flood waters in Cow creek March 4, 1B79, In the night. Bridges were scarce In those days and fording was the common method. Mr. Tlce was about 31 in those days and when his horses got In a whirlpool the kept a cool head and saved the express box and its contents. Later Mr. Tlce was transferred to the Siski you mountains and drove to Cole station above Hilt. "Cole station at that time was a home station where the stages met. Yreka was the next home station and headquarters at this time. Col. Stone of Yreka was superintendent and paymaster of the line from Bose burg, Oregon, to Redding. Men were paid with gold coin, as there were no checks, and little paper money. Driv ers were paid 50, board and lodging. In Oregon $56. Oregon had six-horse teams and California only four-horse teams. "The fare for passengers was 10 cents per mile. Each passenger was allowed 40 pounds of baggage. "About 200 head of good horses were used on the stage division from Roseburg to Redding. It took 12 drivers on that division. There were 26 hostlers who cared for the horses VHafcf t I A eMail m iiu ir-mai TO BE Fred Tlce and stages and were paid 35, lodge and board. These were considered fine wages In those days. ' "Mr. and Mrs. Fred Tlce are past 70 years young, hale and hearty. Mr. Tlce still has a heavy head of hair, and all ,bls teeth and Is wonderfully well preserved for a man who had so much early day hardship. "Such pioneers as Mr. and Mrs. Tlce are a real pleasure to meet. "Tom Burnett of Roseburg Is also here today. He drove out of Rose burg, and like Fred Tlce, bad many harsh early day experiences that read like fiction. "Tom Burnett is well known up and down the line, and It Is a real Joy to have him and all the old time men and women In our midst today." Following a conference between Captain L. M. Bown of the state police and District Attorney George A. Codding, all school buses In use In Jackson county will be examined this week for mechanical perfection and the drivers thereof examined for mental and physical fitness. It la estimated that 300 children ride dally during the school year In school busses. County School Superinten ds. Susanne Homes Carter Is co operating with the two state agencies. Under the new rules, all school busses must be In perfect mechanical Icunaiuuu, equipped witu mirrors, lights and the door controlled by the 'driver. If a bus falls to meet these requirements, It will be placed out 1 of commission. In connection with official action a campaign of education on safety rules will be conducted among the children and their parents. Captain Bown said that the action was taken "to prevent any horror, by reason of any unconscious , driving, and to eliminate as far as humanly possible, any hazard, however small, tiat might endanger the lives of children. I understand there has never been a school bus accident tn this county. We are going to erect every safeguard against one, and the rules and regulations governing school busses will be enforced to the letter." Similar campaigns will be conduct ed by the state police and county of ficials In all counties of the state. ,; BLAZE J Junior Porter, with "a number of other high aohool boys were gathered In a huddle around a perpetual mo tion machine operated with pennies. about 10 o'clock last night In DeVoe'a west aide establishment, discussing plana anent the coming opening of school.

Save me I" Carl, recognizing an emergency, at once emptied a cup of hot coffee he was about to serve a customer into the pocket, and the startled "Speedy1 dumped an lea cream aoda Into the same opening. Junior straightened up with a sigh of relief, signifying he waa aaved. He. was wearing corduroy trousers with wide pocket flaps protruding. and It seems that while the boys were talking the lighted portion of a cig arette fell Into the pocket, burning him severely on the left leg, and a big hole In the pocket before Blgalow and Speedy rescued him.
