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.

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.”
