Guthrie Daily Leader
Many questions have been asked at
the office--when will he appear? The
answer is, Thursday sure and he will
stay undl you catch him. Therefore
the length of his stay in this ci y is
inlefinite He may be caught ten
minutes after his disappearance or it
ma be TWO weeks before he is grabbed.
1t depends largely upon the expert
ness Of the amateur sleuths Of he
city or how lynx-eyed the general
public is.

SAGE BRUSH LAND VALUABLE
Chicago Chemist Declares Sage Brush Land of the West Worth $lOO an Acre Plenty of it, Here.

Carson, Nev. Hundreds of mil lions of dollars are involved in a discovery that may turn the sage brush of the western plains into a new national resource through the production of distillate yielding a net profit on the sage brush of $l5 a cord.
 Chicago chemists have informed the State Publicity and Industrial Commission of Nevada of the dis covery. Their reports, and espe- cially one received today from Prof. Sylvester Sparling. give such startling figures that is predicted sage brush land will jump to the value of $l00 an acre.
 There are millions of acres in the West on which the. sage brush has been regarded as a nuisance.
 Should the Chicago process for extracting valuable distillate turn out as expected. these will be cleared at great profit, ready for the hand of the farmer.
 Prof. Sparling's report shows that tar, wood alcohol and acetic acid are the valuable constituents of the sage brush distillate. Char coal is also produced after the dis tilling process is completed, the charcoal being a valuable by-pro- duct.
 Prof. Sparling's report shows that 220 gallons of the distillate was extracted from 4OO0 pounds of sage brush, which further yielded $50 pounds of charcoal.

when all Of the royel augers had
agreed upon an suspicious day.
The augurs were not up in their bus
dness for about half mile off the
Japanese haven e heavy sea tipped
the junk and the gift OF the Korean
King plunged into the SEA.
No attempt was made either by the
emixsaries Of the King or The retain
ELS Of the Price CT Heike to fish for
the bell. Within hundred years the
descendants Of the Prince were Cross
irg over the sunken beds in war for
avs against the King Of Korea and
the junks OF the KoIeers were Tavig-
ing the coasts OF Kyushiu.
But among the folks Of the Japa-
nee island there sprang legends and
rainy night tales about the sunken
bell Of the Koefen King. When the
sea Caged the fisherman declared they
could hegr the booming of the great
bronze cup on the seas bed, and in
times Of earthquakes the sea folk along
the shore listened to hear the mad
toaing Of the bell, which they We're
sure would sound the signal for &
tidel wave.
Last year it was that Yamamoto
KikutaTo, a man of wealth of the pro
vince and devoted to tue collection Of
ancient art legends began to search
for the ancient bell. Th1ough the
fisherman he succeeded in locating it
after long effort, and last month diver
raised il TO the surface.
The bell has been cleared of its
correcting mass of baruacles and found
to be stiIl whole. 1t will soon be
taken to Kyoto, there to be hung
in the HOngwanji Temple.
