tighten them on all phases Of the new

every point of the law clear, both as
to its requirements and the effects of
its operation. All features of the bill

in detail.
Practically all of the morning ses-

POTATO POWDER OF
GREAT EFFICIENCY

Lionite, the stumping powder useC
here last Friday morning at the Bah.
son ranch in the Upper Valley and 81
the ranch of +. W. Angus in the Oak
Grove community by the American
Safety Powder Go. in its demonstra.
tions to the orchardists, is white
powder, similar to flour, although
slightly coarser. 1t is made, it is
claimed. almost wholly of pulverized
Irish potatoes.
The demonstrations which were given
by d. A. Sanborn and W. A. Kaser,
of the powder company, showed that
the new explosive has great etfici-
ency. Thirty-five pounds of it were
placed under pine stump seven feet
and nine inches in diameter and when
the charge was exploded, the stump
was lifted in pieces neatly from the
ground, leaving an excavation large
enough for the basement of house
the manufacturers claim that the new
powder will not freeze and that it may
be handled in the winter time as well
as at other seasons of the year. 1t
was demonstrated that it was free
from poisonous fumes and did not
create headaches from using it.
A large number of interested ranch
ers were present at both demonstra-
tions. Mr.. Angus. on whose ranch th}
Lower Valley demonstration was made,
declares the new powder to be of extra
ordinary efficiency.
The powder company men left here
Saturday morning for Moser to dem
onstrate the explosive there.
