INVESTIGATE CHARGES. MAKE WASTE SALEABLE. ¡¡M S OFTHE WEEK Mysterious for Invention Beats Rubber INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF IKE STATE Everglades Land Scandal Declared to Be Unfounded. Insulation. Current Events ol Interest Gathered From the World at Large. General Resume of Important Event* Presented In Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. Philadelphia — An invention that will turn waste of the world into sale able commodities with illimitable commercial possibilities has been made by a Philadelphian, whose as sertion that he can take any waste fib rous substance and by his secret pro cess make of it a substitute for hard rubber equal to and, in many in stances, superior to hard rubber it self, is backed by electrical and me chanical engineers of international note. Before a score of experts from all the big electrical, mechanical and rub ber manufactories of the country this new substance was tested at the Phil adelphia Commercial museum in De cember last. This test was surround ed with the utmost secrecy by those who participated in it and it was not until now that those tests, astonish ingly successful, became known. Not only can the inventor make a substi tute for hard rubber superior to it, but he can also make fiber, porcelain, cork and horn. It was the rubber substitute and fiber that received the attention of the experts at the recent test. Among those who were present were George R. Henderson, of New York, a me chanical engineer of international rep utation; Ernest S. Rowe, an electrical engineer of note; Herman Van Fleet, a mechanical engineer, who is identi fied with the Rockefeller interests, and Professor Worral E. S. Temple, all of whom have staked their reputa tions on their findings. ROADS LEAGUE ORGANIZED. TURKEY PASTURE SOUGHT, Better Highway Construction Aim of Corvallis Meeting. Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vallis—The Oregon Roads league has just been formed at a meeting of good roads enthusiasts held at the Oregon Agricultural college. The purposes of he league are to collect and distribute knowledge of highway construction and to be a force in the good roads movement throughout the state. Sixty enthusiasts attended the organization meeting. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Judge Victor P. Moses, of Corvallis; first vice-president, C C. Lemmon, of Hood River; second vice-president, B. W. Short, of Klamath; secretary, E. F. Ayers, of Corvallis. Nine directors were elected: as follows: H. M. Parks, Benton; J. R. Edwards, Lin coln; B. P. Cator, Benton, for three years; C. W. LeVee, Benton; C. D. Schell, Jackson; S. W. Laythe, H ar ney: for two years; V. R Allen Marion; Harry Ebson, Clatsop; and Phil Streib, Jr., of Multnomah, for one year. The new league will use Town and Country’, a local publication, as its official organ in pushing the good roads movement. The dues are {1 year, which should be sent to the sec retary. CORPORATION LAW WANTED. Man Asks to Graze Birds in Des chutes National Forest. Bend—J. Roy Harvey, supervisor of the Deschutes National forest, has re ceived the most unusual application for a grazing permit since he has been connected with the service. C. D. Schell, who has an irrigated tract of land near LaPine, has asked for a permit to graze 1,200 head of turkeys in the National reserve around Davis Lake and Crane Prairie. Mr Harvey found nothing in his schedule of grazing fees applying to turkeys, and referred the application to Super visor Cryder, of the Paulina reserve, in which the largest part of the graz ing ground lies. It is probable that the application will have to go to Washington to be decided. In the Davis Lake and Crane Prairie section there are many grasshoppers, and Mr. Schell plans to raise and fat ten his Thanksgiving birds on these. They will be herded and taken care of by herders the same as sheep. Mr. Schell taught school in the Philippine Islands for six years. He came to Central Oregon from Ashland, where he was engaged in the fruit business. Washington, D. C. — Thorough in vestigation of the charges that gov ernment reports on Florida everglade lands were suppressed by officials of the department of agriculture at the in stance of land speculators and that de partment engineers were dismissed be cause of controversies in this connec tion was determined upon by tbe Dem ocratic members of the house commit tee on expenditures in the department of agriculture. A statem ent issued by Solicitor McCabe, of the department of agricul ture, with the approval of Secretary Wilson, declares that the charges against the department are untrue and that “ the effort to besmirch the secre- of agriculture will fail.” PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY W.
