Diamonds From SUGAR.

It can be stated with perfect truth
tAat lump of sugar may be turned
into diamonds. Not all the substance
of the sugar, of course, will enter into
the composition of the gem. but only
the carbon that it contains. Sugar
consists of carbon united with oxygen
and hydrogen. The carbon can he
easily separated out, and in certain ex-
periments for the production Of dia-
monds this sugar carbon has been en-
ployed. The diamonds so produced
were. OF course, very small and des-
titute of commercial value, but still
they are real diamonds, and the
chemical result achieved would be 10
greater intrinSically If they were as
large as the kohinoor. The hope has
often been held ont that an Improve
ment in the process of manufacturing
diamonds may be effected whereby
the necessity of diSsolving the carbon
In molten iron may be dispensed with
and the required combination Of grea'
pressure with great heat may b.
brought about b. scine such opera
ton as squeezing the carbon between
red hot metal plates.

LEGAL RATE TO BE CHARGED
Administrator of the Estate
David Borland, Deceased.

The following is taken from the
Reno Gazette of recent date:
Among the actions taken during
the recent session of the Nevada
IreSs association was one that will
probably please the attorneys Of the
state. 1t concerned rates for legal
advertising, such as summons, and
the like. 1t developed during the
meeting that all sorts of prices
Wee being charged for notices OF
this nature, and after a full discuss
ion it was agreed that in the fut-
ure uniform rate will be adopted
by all the newspapers.
This rate will be two dollars a
square of ten lines for the first
insertion and a ar a square r
each successive insertion. In the
future this will be the rate that will
be uniform throughout the state.
This will undoubtedly be- pleasing
news to the lawyers because they
will know that all are being charged
alike on all notices. OF course on
long notices it may develop that the
charge will be little heavier than
1t has been in the past, but the at.
torneys will be willing to pay it, es,
pecially when it comes out of the
client, And, besides, the shorter
notices will make up for the extra
charge on the long ones,
1t Is the only method, said
President Booth. If we have a
uniform rate and stick to it every
body will be better pleased am
very glad that such an arrangement
has been brought about and that
all the papers have agreed to abide
by it.

In these winter days the home with

est What should one do to bring up
the hot air from the furnace?
That simplest thing is for the fur
mace attendant to discover the cold
pipe leading to the room and cut off
for few minutes the heat to every
other pipe leading from the furnace.
At once this forces the combined heat
from the furnace into the one open
delivery pipe whose cutoff remains
wide open. This body of heat forces
out the heavy cold air that has been
blocking that particular pine as effec-
tnally as if the pipe were full of fro
zen water. After a few minutes, in
which the pipe warns and warmth
permeates the room, the cold room
is rendered comfortable thereafter.
Presenting that one has an electric

TO urge the electric fan on the hot
air register place the fan with its back
close to the register and turn on at

A man who was too economical to

out, upset a four gallon chTn full

her haste she dropped S25 set OF

IS INDICTED

Columbia George the well known
local Indian who has been in the coun-
ty Jail since last July awaiting the
action of the law on the charge of
murder which has been placed against
him, was indicted yesterday morning
in Portland for first degree murder
by the federal grand jury, according
to advices received here. Much de-
lay was caused because of the diff
Guilty in determining whether or not
the crime was properly in the juris
diction of the state or the federal
court
Columbia George was arrested in
July the day after the mutilated body
of Ti-mot, an aged squaw, was found
in the Umatilla river about three
miles above this city. Circumstances
connected him with the foul crime
and, following his arrest, a strong
chain of circumstantial evidence was
forged which has resulted in his in
dictment.
Columbia George with Toy Toy was
convicted ten or more years ago for
the murder of Anna Edna, another
squaw, and after serving eight years
of life term, was pardoned by
President Taft.

Mrs. Henry NJ. Lancaster. wife of a
wealthy mining engineer, is suing for
decree. She bases her request on
allegations that her husband has been
cruel to her. and has once attempted
to take her life. and has refused to
provide for her properly, often com
pelling her to live on one meal a day.
while he had plenty of money to live
in opulence. Three months ago Lam
caster was arrested following the
complaint of his wife that he had at
tempted to shoot her in their home,
from which she fled. following the
discharge of revolver. At the time
Lancaster claimed the gun had been
accidentally discharged. while his wife
maintained it had been pointed at her
and that her escape was due to her
flight.
