70 INVESTIGATE
 CANNERY WASTE

J. w. Turrentine, Ph. D. ar rived in town last night from Fiunter Bay and Kodiak. He is connected with the Bureau ol Soils as a Special Investigator of the fertilizer resources oi the country. He has been as far to the We stward as kodlah Investigating the possibilities of making fertilizer from th' waste of the canneries. They i ave worked out plan to mlX the fertilizer from this sourc3 with kelp, which will furnish the other ingredients needed 4o make it the most powerful fertilizer in the world. He is interesting the cannery men O. the district in the scheme. A oennery putting up pack of 50,000 cases a season will have 700 tons of waste which $ worth i5 dollars a ton when made into straight fertilizer. After this is mixed with kelp i. is worth considerable mora. Besides each ton of waste wlii yield about 25 gallons of fish oil which is worth about B cents a gallon. Each cannery would have to put in it's oNl' plant which can be so installed aS. to make the fertilizer With Cut being handled except wheH sacked and ready to ship. Al the present time the plant VIII cost about 15.000 dollars to i'll
 stall but they are working on 3 plan to make them smaller and cheaper. It takes three men U operate the plant. The plant, OF the Atlantic Coast are mak' ing this fertilizer from the .Ianahaden fish and can no' begin to supply the demand. il is shipped to Japan and Hawai- and is in big demand among inc Orange growers. The At Atlantic Coast made 70.000 tors ol this fertilizer last ye af and the United States was obliged to import 250,000 tons more. After the Panama canal is con- pleted the Alaska cannerles will Ee in a position to supply tfe demand all over the country Which from experience on the Atlantic Coast has proven a very profitable one.

7 DAILY COMMENT ON
The Tribune demands showdown
on the story that man was thrown
down the elevator shaft in the Trib
building and killed.
All right. Give 'em the showdown.
Let's have the truth.
That story has been going the
rounds for about two years now, and
involves the matter of newspaper
sluggers and gunner.
If there is any truth in the story,
the people ought to know it.
Now let Hearst follow the Trib lead
and demand showdown on the muir
der of Conductor Witt and Teamster
HEIR by newspaper gunner, said to
have been on the payroll of the Chi
cago newspaper trust.
In our opinion the rich publishers
who hired the ex-convict gunner
are more to blame than the gunner
themselves.
Hoyne can perform public serv-
ice by Investigating the newspaper
gunner and sluggers all the way
through.
He's in bad now, and mainly be-
cause of his political connection with
Hearst.
His salvation lies in telling all the
newspapers to go fly their kite and
running his Office in the interests of
the people.
Anyhow, call the Trib's bluff,
States Attorney Hoyne. Give 'em
the showdown.

CHAPTER XII.
The Caravan In the Desert.

Yes, George vanished from the
haunts Of men as completely as II the
Great Roc had dropped him into the
Valley Of Diamonds and left him
there; and as nobody knows Just
where the Valley Of Diamonds is,
George was very well lost. Still. there
was, at the end Of a most unique ex-
p~erience, a recompense far beyond its
value. But, of course, George, being
without the gift Of ~clairvoyance, saw
nothing save the immediate and immi-
nent circumstances: a door that
banged behind him, por~tentously; a
sack, a cloak, a burnouse, or whatever
1t was, flung about his head, and
smelling evilly.
George hit out ~valiantly, and a mer-
ry scuff1e ensued. The room was
small; at least, George thought it was,
for in the space Of one minute he
thumped against the four sides Of 1t.
He could see nothing and he couldn't
breathe very well; but In spite Of
THESE uCOuNCLiChSC hC put up tuTCS
-ounds that would have made some

~phraseology of the fancy, he had a
good punch. All the disappointments
of the day seemed to become 30 many
pounds of steam in his shoulder; and
he wal aware Of a kind Of barbaric
10y whenever he hit some one. All
the circumspection Of years, all CT
the gentle blood Of his peaceful for
bears, gave way to the strain which
still turks in the blood Of civilized hui
mainly, even in the veins of poets and
parsons. He fought with all the tao
Tics of a sailor in a bar-room, not over
nicely.
A table toppled over with a smash
ing noise. George and his assailants
fell in a heap beside 1t. Thwack!
Bang! George struggled to his feet
and tugged at the sitting envelope.

orable to break his parole And where
was Ryannei "Helpl"
Mahomed swung his arm round
Georges neck. and the third cry be-
gan with q gurgle and ended with q
sigh. Deity. the Arab rebandaged
the prisoners mouth. So be It. He
had had his chance for freedom; now
he should drink to the bottom Of the
bitter cup, along with the others. He
had no real enmity against George;
he vas simply n Of the pawns In
the game he was playing. But now he
saw that there was danger In hberat.
Ing him. The otherl Mahomed "a.
ressed his wiry beard. To subject
him to the utmost mental agony; to
break him physically. too; to pay him
back pound for pence: to bruise, to
hurt. to rack him. that was all Ma.
homed desired.
George made no further effort to
free himself, nor apparently to bestir
himself about the future. Somewhere
in the fight, presumably az he fell
against the table, he had received a
crushing blow In the small ribs; and
when Mahomed threw him back, he
tainted for the second time in his life.
He reclined Imply in the corner Of
the carriage, the bosom Of his shirt
bullying open; for the thrifty Arabs
had purloined the pearlstuds, the
gold c~ollar-buttons, and the sapphire
cuf-links. And consciousness re.
turned only when they lifted him out
and dropped him inconsiderately into
the thick dust Of the road. He stirred
again at his bonds, but presently lay
still. The pain In his side hurt keen
ly, and he wasn't sure that the rib
was whole. What time had passed
since his entrance to the English-B Bar
was beyond his reckoning, but he
knew that II was yet In the dark OF
night, as no light whatever penetrated
the cloth over his eyes. That he was
somewhere outside the city he was
assured by the tang OF the winter
wind. He heard low understandable;
and while he possessed a smatterinp
