Ethyl Alcohol.
You may be surprised to learn
that yellow pine contains a high per-
centage of material that under proper
chemical treatment will produce al
chohol. Scientists believe that there
is more value in alchohol that can be
and is being produced from sawdust
and other saw mill waste, than any
other product that can be obtained
therefrom. The sawdust and slabs
we are burning every day contain a
vast amount of the highest grade of
ethyl alchohol, the price of which is
now SO great that it is burdensome,
although one of the greatest necessi-
ties Of our every day life. Without
alchohol we could not have many of
the comforts and blessings of our
every day existance. We would not
only be destitute of vast majority
of drugs used to cure diseases, but
the manufacturers in many lines
would find their hands tied without
its use. Manufacturers of gun pow

want the new classification; they
want the "Ole Miss" plan resumed.
The commercial interests of the
state claim that the new rates give
them an increase on a much larger
percentage of the commodities which
they handle than the decrease on 9TH
er commodities amounts to. For
instance, e. G. Crawley, representing
wholesale grocery at Greenwood
claimed that his firm had checked up
the difference and found that in ton
mage, the proportion was about IS tons
on which decrease in rates were eff
fective under the new law, where 800

Mr.. LovejOy was in town Wednes-
day and reported that he was to
undertake to get confirmation OF
some information he had from the
officials of certain railway companies
relative to the plans of Vaughan
Hill-Ricker. lie gave out the story
that these men were negotiating With
the Frisco and Rock Island to the
end of taking over the grade to Sui
phur, combining it with their enter
prise and extending operations to 4
point midway between Ardmoye and
Waurika, to a junction with the Rock
Island building, between the two
latter points. Mr.. Loveioy says that
the Rock Island company has ASK
Ell for contractors to be prepared to
90 on that work by the first Of
June.
1t seems that this line will he
built at once and that it will give
the Rock Island a much-needed
outlet FOR its traffic from the Mem
phis line to it's main Kansas City
and Fort Worth line by the way
of Haileyville, Ardmore and Wall
rika. This would have the effect
OF shutting the Frisco out of an eN-
tension westward from Ardmore eX-

for Davis if such railway complica-
tiOns would force the Frisco to seek
