Alice, 36, joined the troupe after years with a wagon show, while Baldy, over 50, is among the largest elephants in captivity.

A fresh cow was found to nurse the calf, which soon settled and began bottle feeding despite initial fright.
The Snoqualmie Falls Power Company of Seattle conducted a novel experiment driving an electric motor 153 miles from the generator. All lines were connected in one continuous circuit Snoqualmie Falls to Seattle to Tacoma and back to the falls to test practical commercial transmission over long distances.
