SATURCAY, DECEMBER 12, 1908. TWICE-A-WEEK NEWS RECORD. Beginning with the new yeir the News Record wl'l be published twlce-a-weak, the first number being dated Saturday, Jan. 2, 1909. It will ap pear regularly thereafter on Wednes days and Sa'urdays of each week, going to press on Tuesday and Fri day afternoons, ai long as the pres ent mall schedule continues. In addition to balng Is3ued twice Instead of once a week, there are a number of other changes and, we ba lieve, Improvements, not all of which can bo announcad at this time. One, however, is the addition to the Satur day edition of a colored magaalna and comic supplement. Enlerpilso Is advancing by leap) and bo mils. Probably no town 1 r Oregon Is growing and Improving Ii every way moro rapidly than tin capital of Wallowa. Certainly no own has a brighter future. In mak ing thesa changes, the News Record feels It Is only keeping pace with the tow.i and county , Tho changoi Involve a large additional expensa, but we have fult'i that the change) will meot wlih favor and the patron age will warrant the venture. The price of the paper will neces sarily be Increase!, but paid In ad vance subscript bus at the present rate will be accepted until after tha changes go Into effect.

On June 7, 1906, congress passed a law removing the Internal revenue tax of J2.07 per gallon on grain al cohol which had been properly de natured or rendered unfit for drink ing purposes by the addition of cer tain materials such as wood alcohol, benzine or pyridine. It was hoped that by the removal of this tax alco hol could be obtained cheaply enough to compete with petroleum for light and fuel. The demand for such alco hol can be readily seen when we note that approximately 3 million gallons of gasoline are consumed daily In the country and that the Increased demand for It, due to the development of the modern explosion motor, has doubled Its price In the last ten years. Indiana and Ohio oils contain only about 5 per cent of gasoline and the per cent of the lighter distillate of California and Texas crude oil Is very low. The supply of gasoline therefor seems to be limited but the demand is In creasing. Alcohol, It has been dem onstrated can meet this demand, furthermore the annual consumption of kerosene In the United States ap proximates 1 billion gallons, three fourths of which are probably used j by the farmers. Since one gallon of aiconoi is equivalent to z ganons oi kerosene for lighting purposes 375 gallons of alcohol could be used on the farms of this country each year. This would require for Its production 140 million bushels of corn, or 5 mil lion acres an increase of 5 per cent over that now grown. If made from potatoes this 375 million gallons ot alcohol would require 450 million bushels or 5 million acres an in crease of GO per cent over that now produced. The present consumption of alcahol amounts to but 16 millions per year. Ethyl or grain alcohol is a natural product formed by the .fermentation of various kinds of sugar through the agency of yeast organisms, Slncfc starch Is readily convertible Into su gar by either natural or artificial means, materials which contain no table quantities of either starch or sugar may be utilize.! for making al cohol. The more Important sources of alcohol are the cereals, potatoes, molasses and fruits. In France alco hoi Is cftiefly made from the sugar beet. In Germany from the potatt and In America from corn. A bushe of corn will yield approximately 2V. gallons of 9 per cent alcohol; I bushel of po'.atoe3 of a gallon ant a bushel of apples 1-3 of a gallon. The yield depends directly upon tin sugar and starch content of the material used and In general suga will yield one-half Its weight o. alcohol. In the large distilleries it costs about 17 cents to manufacture and place on the market one gal Ion of alcohol and the cost of the raw material use! brings this ordi narily to approximately 30 cents Allowing for the necessary profit al cohol will reach the consumer a about 40 cents per gallon. But alco hol at 40 cents can compete with ker osene at 20 cents for lighting pur poses since alcohol has twice the Illuminating value of kerosene and ir competition can never demand more than one-half the market price of alcohol. For making cheap alcohol a cheap concentrated raw product and a well equipped plant are necessary. The plant should have a capacity of at least 100 gallons per day, the cost of such a plant being In the neigh borhood of $10,000. No such plan', can operate successfully on wai.j products alone especially If such rre to be obtained for only a brief part of the year, as for example waste fruits. There must be some more staple product as a basis with the waste materials handled as a side Issue. For a staple In the North west we must look to potatoes or sugar beets and damaged grain when It can be secured, on which mate rials together with various waste pro ducts, a plant could be operated throughout the year. The combina tlon of a starch factory and an al cohol plant esems also to be a feas ible plan for obtaining cheap alcohol. NORTH COAST R. R. j RENEWS PILINGS! ENGINEERS AGAIN ON GRANDE RONDE RIVER BELOW MOUTH OF WENAHA. Th;re are persistent rumors that something will be doing In railways along the northwest and north border of IWallowa county in the spring. There Is no lpnger much doubt the surveys from Walla Walla across the mountains and down the Wenaha or Little Salmon river to Troy, while ostensibly by a Walla Walla trac tion company, were really made In the interest of the North Coast road. And back of the North Coast is said to be the Chicago and North western, the great Vanderbilt prop erty, with now over 10,000 mile3 of trackage west of Chicago, gridiron ing Wisconsin, Minnesota, the two Dakotas, Northern Iowa and Nebras ka, and extending as far west as Caspar in central Wyoming. It is believed spring will see the Northwestern building from Caspar to the headwaters of the Lemhi, in eastern Idaho, and on across the state by a water grade route down the Lemhi and Salmon rivers to the 3nake at or near Eureka in this county, down tho Snake to the Grande Ronde, and up that river to the Wenaha, and up that and across the Blue .Mountain divide at an elevatio.i of 2800 feet, giv ing both the shortest route and .east grade of any transcontinental railroad. The North Coast has already the best pass through the Cascades, and terminal facilities on Puget Sound and in Spokane, besides the right of way nearly across Washington. That it Is laying plans for work east of the Blue Mountains Is proven by its renewals of filings along the Grande Ronde as told In the following from the Asotin Seitliel: "Along with the report of a few Jays ago that the Harriman system Intend building and completing the Huntington-Lewtston Snake river line f railway during the next two years, the paople should not lose sight of the fact that only about two wesks ago the North Coast Railway . engl leers visited Asotin again, and went on to the Grande Ronde river and .-enewed that company's water fil ings at two different points on that stream, that were located and filed ipon during the early spring, and the same were place! of record. This would indicate that things are to be doing In this locality before long. Then, also, the completion of the O. R. & N. line to Enterprise and Joseph, and the report that the work is not to stop at that point, leads the people to suspect that there may be something doing along the Grande Ronde river In the nature of railway activity. Surely the outlook Is good .'or this immediate portion of the ?reat Northwest, and we believe that it is not going to be misleading either." Hood River Apples. County Superintendent Conley left two fine specimens of Spltzenberg ap pies at this office of a shipment of a couple of boxes he received from he ranch in the Hood River valley owned by him and his brother, G.

Ill Health it More Expensive Than Any Cure. This country lj now filled . with people who migrate across the con tinent In all directions se iking that which gold cannot buy. Nine tenths of them are, suffering from throat and lung trouble or chronic catarrh resulting from neglected colds, and spending fortunes vainly trying to regain lost health. Could every suf ferer but undo the pan and cure that first negleMed cold, all this sorrow, pain, anxiety and expense could have been avoided. Chamber lain's Cough Remedy is famous for Its cures of colds, and can always be depended upon. Use It and the more serious diseases may be avoided. For sale by Burnaugh & Mayfield. PHONE HOME 115 J.
