As I gaze o'er bills and valleys.
And recall the fre,unt rallies

The fierce warrior savage brawling,
A on warg'xls they aro calling.
For revenge in White Man' blood.

And his touch will make It dearthloss,
So his crops will never fail.

STRAW MAY BE MEANS
OF GETTING FUEL FOR
TORISTS IN FUTURE
Kansas, now the grmteet whrvit-
prodttotng state, may become the
greatest manufacture of motor fuel
trom wheat straw, thus adding to the
fanner Income and utilising a pro
duct of the soli which now i virtually
wasted, according to . C. Mohler, sec- -
retary of the state board of agrlcub
ure
Based on estimates of the United
State department of agriculture that :
on ton of wheat straw will produce
the eqivalent of 40 gallons of gaso
line, Kansas in 1919, with an acreage
of ill,64o,00O, could hay produced
the equivalent of 46,560,000 gallons,
according to Secretary Mohler.
Experiments made by the fedora!
department show, Mr. Mohler aid,
that a combustible gas can be ob
talned from the destructive distilla
tion of wheat straw. This new prod
uct has been used for operating an
automobile, for illuminating purpose
and for cooking and test are in pro
gress to determine its exact value and
cost of porductlon.
"If these experiments turn oat at-
isfactorily," ald Mr. Mohler, 'It may
not be many year before every farm
er will throw the straw from hi
threshing machine Into a still, from
which he can draw all the fuel he
will requlre to operate his farm ma
chinery."
Farm expert have estimated that
enough wheat straw Is going to waste
west of the Mississippi river alone to
porduce In new fuel the equivalent ot
one-fifth the driving power of all
gasoline now manufactured. Experi
ments so far have extended only to
wheat straw. Com stalk are said to
be richer in carbon than wheat straw
and If they can be used fuel more
than equal to all the gasoline now
produced can be manufactured H la
believed.
'Some geologists have predicted a
serious shortage of gasoline In the
next few years because of Increasing
demand for motor vehicle and ma
chinery,' said Mr. Mohler. "This new
ga may solve the problem of how
power farming and transportation are
to go on if the shortage become s
reality. Whether or not thi new
product will be commercially valua
ble depends, of course, on whether
the cost of production can be made
low enough. The value of the product
at present gasoline prices would be
about $12 an acre."
LOCAL MAN SHOT
WHILE ESCAPING
FROM AN OFFICER
j One man in the hoepital and an
other out on $500 bail to appear be
fore the next grand jury i the re
sult of Alec DeFotd trying to

to the Oregon City hospital, where
he is now resting easily after Dr.
Welch had removed the bullets from
his body.
A warrant for the arrest of Frost
was issued from the sheriff office
and he is now out on $540 bail after

garage before closing up for the night

that just before he came down stairs
from the club he took with him a re
volver from behind a counter, which
he had always kept in the lodge room
