JUST now 1t looks as II there Is to be
another campaign on the merits of the

good service in distracting attention
from the dement's Of the politicians.

THE most incomprehensible thing
about the leaking cotton reports is the
claim by Secretary Wilson and Statis-
tician Hyde that such thing could not
happen.

THERE are those who think the state

enough not to object to the little bit OF
graft that Is allowed to sift through to

DESTRUCTIVE COTTON INSECTS

While there is probably no author

are more plentiful this year than
usual, there seems to be little ques-

closer attention than ever before.

TRzAH. July 1.-THE crops have

to pay the expenses. The oat crop was
good: but as usual the quantity sown
was not enough to count for great
deal

successful session are good.

An Acid Made Of Wood Gas.

Aside from the deposits of metal
tic copper in the Michigan region,
practically all the ores of copper, zinc,
lead, and nickel consist of compounds
of the metals with sulphur. In smelt-
ing, the sulphur is burned out and
gives rise to enormous quantities of
sulphur dioXide,-that gas that has
taught man to postpone for moment
the pleasure of his cigar when light
ing it with a sulphur match, and has
caused many a housewife to mourn
for the untimely fading and passing
away of her most cherished house
plants. At Leadville, Joplin, Galena.
Argentine, El Paso, and other sections
of the country not only treeless but
also grassless deserts have been pro
duced by the large smelling establish
ments. Near Mount Shasta stretches
of the finest timber land stand blast
ed because of this waste, which. we're
it utilized, would doubtless be suffi-
cient to erect a new plant for the
company every two or three years.
BY what is known as the new con.
tact process" this gas can be trans
formed into the best of sulphuric acid,
and where smelling establishments
are near enough to the manufactures
using this article large revenues are
being derived from this waste product
every year However, since sulphuric
acid is very cheap and freight rates
very high, the economical utilization
Of the gas in the Shasta and other
regions similarly situated, far remov-
ed from manufacturing centers, has

determine the menus for the various
and numerous meals OF the following
day between them and when this has
been done the cards are turned over
to the ships printer who puts them in
type and runs off whatever number
may be required for the passengers.
Copies of these are then distributed
by the chef to his principal assistants
the head baker, the head confec-
toner, the head meat cook and SO on
through the list. Each expert pro-
ceeds to figure out the quantities of
the various supplies-meat, eggs,
flour, vegetables, or what not-he will
require to carry out his part of the
program. These estimates are sub
mdtted to the chief steward and as
soon as they receive his endorsement
become orders on the ships store.

short branches intended for freight
ing purposes.
The roadway from Monnheim to
Langenfold is about twenty-three feet
wide, with a good basaltic cover about
fifteen in width, running almost in an
air line, with the exception of few
curves. A special contrivance for
coupling will be provided in order to
keep an exact rut of all the cars. The
power will be conducted to and from
the cars by means of two rotary poles,
placed on the top of the cars, and
sliding blocks enabling the train to
give way from ten feet to twelve
feet
For entering farmyards lying close
to the road there will be used. in
stead of the regular wire, connector

feet in length by means of which the
current will be transmitted to the

to forty horse power. The conducting
crew will have its place ON the loco.
