In the Ozarks a Missouri settler fronts a tableland summit farm enclosed by a fence no animal has breached. The land sits on a cliff edge with a ledge path, enabling soil and vegetation to thrive atop a sheer drop. The farmer blasted and drilled a narrow trail to bring up tools, pigs, a cow, then a horse, creating a self contained farm with livestock fed on its grain, reachable to market via a private trail to Jasper-Kansas City Star.
A giant outdoor relief map of Brazil is planned for the Rio de Janeiro jubilee exhibition. The feature would cover thousands of square yards and show mountains with artificial snow caps, real-water rivers, and forests with dwarf plants. A botanical and zoological garden would display each state’s flora and fauna, plus camps of Brazil’s Indian tribes. The project, tied to commemorating Brazil’s 1838 port emancipation, may be postponed for months or next year.
The Italian smuggler Predoni and his 18 year old daughter Rose crossed into Italy after Swiss contraband purchases. A thick mist engulfed the Fraele pass.

A collage of odd tales from Kokomo to New York covers lawsuits over goose eggs and nervous shocks, odd animal incidents including a wild cat in South Amboy and a cow in a Trenton parlor, plus quirky notes on watch winding, a Roebling car crash, snakes at Hook Mountain Lane, and a Philistine mix of Australian slang, phonograph relics, and coins.
Mrs. Caldwell of Adel Maine fought a coyote attacking her hen, squeezing the animal’s throat until it died after the beast clamped on her breast.

The government built a cement mill near Phoenix for the Roosevelt dam project, producing at $2.10 to $2.82 per barrel in spring months and now selling at market prices. With 30 barrels daily capacity, it has cost $218,880.57 but already pays for itself and is poised to save about $1 million on the Roosevelt dam and future Salt River diversions. The plant leverages local materials and will lower cement costs for a 50 000 barrel requirement for a new diversion dam sixty miles away.
