Spokane Man Finds Way to Utilizov
Iron Ore, Which Was Here
tofore Thought to Be
Worthless.
(Spoclal Correspondence.)
SPOKANE, Wash., Nov. 24. Mag-1
nctic Iron ore, hoertofore looked upon .
as worthless because of the preva-'
lonco of titanium, an element which
prevented its reduction, will be used
by the Washington Steel and Iron
company In Its plant to be erected In
the northern part ot Spokane.
E. H. Rothert has perfected a pro-1
cess for the manufacture of high -
grade wrought Iron and tool steel
from this base ore, of which there Is
3,000,000 tons In sight on a tract
of 270 acres In western Oregon, leas-
rt nr M romnanv on a royalty basis.
m.. M. f nmrtnrin rrnclhlo steel Is
- "v I
placed at $30 a ton. while tool steel
can bo made at 25 cents a pound.
The minimum market price ot the
first named Is $160 a ton, the lattor
sellrog at from 90 cents to $2.25 a
pound.
Experts declare that by solving the
problem of overcoming the titanium
with this new process of smelting,
large bodies ot the ore In various
parts of the United States and Can
ada will become available for com
mercial purposes and add millions
of dollars to the wealth-production
of the country. Mr. Rothert has been
experimenting at Hoquiam,
for several years, and has produced
steel for saw, knife blade, raior and
other edged tools said to be equal to
the best output of European mills.

WORK WEAKENS THE KIDNEYS.
Daan's Kidney Pills Have Dor.o
Great Service for People Who
Work in Med ford.
Host Medford people work every
day in some strained, unnatural po
sition bending constantly over a
desk riding on jolting wagons or
enrs doing laborious housework;
lifting, renching or pulling, or trying
the back in a hundred nnd one other
ways. All these strains tend to wear
and weaken and injure the kidneys
until they fall behind in their work
of filtering the poisons from the
blood. Donn's Kidney Pills cure
sick kidneys, put new strength in bad
backs. Medford cures provs it.
Thos. J. Williams, Oakdnle street,
Medford, Ore., snys: "I suffered
for n long time from kidney nnd
bladder trouble. The pains through
my bnck were so severe at times that 1
I could hardly endure them. My
kidneys were disordered nnd I hnd
to nriso many times during the night
to pass the secretions. I was sub
ject to headaches nnd was very
dizzy, especially when I stopped. I
did not get relief nnd became uis
Mnrntrod. Doan's Kidney Fills fin-
ally camo to my attention, nnd I
procured n box at Ilnskin'a Drug
,pi i !i.,i ii, trnn ,
Store. They soon banished the trou-
bio nnd I have not had a. return
Bince. I cannot speak too highly m
prniso of Donn's Kidney Pills."

II EN Newmark awoke one
more to Interest In affairs
the morning was well spent.
On the river the work was
wltn lhe in ot
( 0rde discovered about noon that the
Jam crew waa nav!ng lt8 troubles. Im.
mediately below Reed's dam ran a
long chute strewn with bowlders,
which was alternately a shallow or a
1 stretch of white water according as
stream rose or fell. Onllnarlly
!, 1,,ot..
the logs were Hushed over this decllv
ity by opening the gate, behind which
a head of water had been acciuuutat
ed. Now, however, the efficiency of
the gate had been destroyed.
"I wonder It we can't drop that gate
way down to get something for a
head." said Ordo to the foreman.
The two men examined the chute
and the sluice gate attentively for some
time.
"If we could clear out the splinters
and rubbish we might spike a couple
of saplings on each side for the gate
to slide down Into," speculated North.
The logs were held up In the pond,
and a crew of men set to work to cut

footing impossible, so nil the work had
to be done from above. Wet wood
gripped the long saws visellke. so that j
a man's utmost strength could scarcely i
budge them. Nevertheless they held
to It. Orde. satisfied that they would
succeed, departed up river to the rear.
This crew he found working busily
among some overflowed woods. They
were herding the laggards of the flock.
The subsidence of the water conse
quent upon the opening of the sluice
gate had left stranded and in shal
lows many hundreds of the logs. From
the advantage of deadwood, stumps or
other logs the "sackcrs" pushed the
unwleldly timbers forward, leaping,
splashing, heaving, shoving, until at
last the steady current of the main

however, before he heard hi name

Nothing could Induce tho cook to at

simistically. "Ifs no good. He's stop.

men, watching him In silence.
"What's tho matter?" Inquired Orde,
approaching.
"If tho law don't protect me I'll pro
tect myself," Reed proclaimed. "1
glvo ye fair warning."
"But surely," said Orde, "we have n
right to run our logs through. It's un

"And hev ye been runnin' your logs

Orde stepped forward. Immediately
Reed wheeled, his thumb on the bam
mer.
"All rl"ht. old spirit of '70." replied
Orde. "Hon t shoot: I'll come down."
He walked back to the waiting row.
"Surely." spoke up Newmark. "what
ever the status of the damage suits.
you have the legal right to run your
logs."
Orde rolled a quizzical eye In his dl
rectlon.
"Per-fect-ly correct, son." ho drawl
ed, "but we're engaged Ir- the happy
occupation of getting out logs. By the
time the law was all adjusted aud a
head of steam up the water M be down.
Iti this game you get out logs tlrst aud
thluk about law afterward."
"How about legal damage?" Insist
ed Newmark.
"Legal dumagesj" scoffed Orde. "Le
gal damages! Why. wo count legal
damages as part of our regular ex
penses. Ilke.potatocs."
Orde walked to the edge of the dum
and stood looking down current. Then
he turned to the grimly silent river
men. "Roys." he commanded brletly. "gel
your peavles and come along."
He led the way past the mill to the
shallows below.

a convenient bowlder, and an old stull
near shore became the third pier in a
line below the milt.
"Now. boys." commanded Orde.
"shove off soino shore logs and let
them come down."
The stray logs floating down with ,

In order to take full advantage of
the water power developed by his dam '
old man Reed bad built his mill nearly I
at a level with the stream. Now the I
river, backing up, rapidly overflowed
this flat. As tho Jam tightened by Its '
own weight the water fairly jumped
from the lowest floor of the mill to
tho one above.
In lens than five minutes the old
man descended on the group.

gained tho old man's side. j
"You can't break this Jam," he sold
kindly. "Come ashore. You'll kill

"Break It!" pleaded Reed. "You're
