Obstacle Removed
From Building Schools

House bill No. 81, allowing school
districts to issue bonds upon the
basis of assessed valuation OF the
current year instead of the 1912 val
uation passed both houses and has
been signed by Governor Carlson.
This bill is of extreme interest as
many towns throughout the state
were badly handicapped by the old
law not allowing sufficient bonding
privileges to erect school buildings
necessary to care for the increasing
number of pupils.
La lara and Saguache intend to
profit at once by the passage of the
Dill, the necessity for new school
house in La lara having been appar-

Cheaper Gasoline Prom
ised by New Discovery

A scientific discovery of great ma
tional interest and Importance was
made recently at Washington A
young chemist of only thirty-two
years who was employed in the fed
eral Bureau of Mines made 1t, 1t ia
part on the function of this bureau
to investigate the efficiency of fuels.
Rlttman was put at this task at
salary of $4,000. Rittman's idea
was that we could get cheaper gas
oline. The gasoline is now all taken
out OF crude oil Under the process
discovered by Rittman-and his
wire, who is also chemist-much
more gasoline can be secured from
the crude oil than was ever before
thought possible. In addition to this
the hlttman process derives from
crude oil two other very valuable
things. One is benzol which we have
been getting from Germany mostly
ln-the form of dye stuffs. Rittman's
discovery will probably make us in
dependent OF Germany as to dyes
and colored inks. The other sub-
stance is toluol, which is used in
making explosives. Here is a dis
coVery that is worth many, many
millions of dollars, but since Rittman
Is an employee of Uncle Sam he will
not reap this wealth himself. It will
be given free to the whole country
According to the law, Rittman ia
entitled to the profits arising from
the sale of the foreign patent rights
IN MS processes. But the domestic
patent rights belong to the people
or the United States, rendering free
TO all, in the words of Secretary
Lane, the results or that efficient
and intelligent research which has
heretofore been only at the COM
mand OF the wealthy"
Since the above discovery was
made the price of gasoline has been
reduced five cents per gallon IN
Monte Vista and later will 20 much
lower than at present,

Postal Savings System
Proves Its Usefulness

The postal savings system was put
into effect on January 3, 1911.
After more than four years of act
ual operation the system has con-
clusively proved not only that it has
encouraged habits of thrift, but that
it has done so without injury to the
savings banks of the country. In
asmuch as these banks did not show
during the first year, and have not
shown since then, any decrease in
deposits to accoun: for the millions
in the custody of The postal savings
system, 1t may be taken for granted
that practically all the savings taken
in by the postal authorities consists
of money that was not saved prior
to 1911 or that had been kept hid
den, or both.
Yet there is little doubt that to-
day there may be S50,OOO,O0O more
that could be added to the already
stupendous total of approximately
$54, 200, 900 in the postal savings
system Oct. 81 last. The sum men
toned is kept beyond reach of the
postal savings system by the provi-
sions of the law which limit the
amount that may be accepted from
depositor to 500 in a calendar
month and restrict his maximum de-
posit to $500. The money which goes
into the postal banks is at once de-
posted in the governments depos-
itory banks and thus enters the
channels of trade.
The war has brought out more
forcibly than ever, the usefulness Of
the postal savings system. 1t is a
strong factor in quieting financial
disturbances, and with the advent of
war deposits at the American post
offices began to grow by leaps and
bounds. According to the latest
available statistics. upward of $1O,-
100000 has been added since Aug
ust to the total Of deposits for rea-
sons directly due to the war, and II
the restrictions had not existed this
sum might have been trebled.

new OWNERS OF ELEC-
TRIO LIGHT PLANT.
4. n. McKeIIlps Turns Plant over 10 Man.
ager Clutter on Monday Morning.

Last week the deal transfer
ring the electric light plant and
the -four mill over to the new
owners was closed and on Mon
day morning, J. R. Clutter. who
has been appointed manager by
tn e owners, took possession.
The new firm will be known as
the Hope Electric Light & Power
Co., and Frank E.. Corson, of
Fargo, is president and Alfred
G. Fox is general superinten-
dent. This concern owns and
operates several plants over the
state and will doubtless give
their patrons in this city first
class service. Manager Clutter
needs no introduction to the peo-
pie as he has, until the past year,
been connected with the plant
and will keep it in first class
working condition.
We are informed Indirectly
that very shortly the mill will be
ovsrhauled, the machinery ad-
justed and fixed up, ETC., and an
experienced miller placed in
charge. In case such is done
the patrons of the light plant
will be supplied with a twenty
four hour service, which will be
a big benefit for those desiring
day current.
Having the mill in operation
will also benefit our city directly
and indirectly. First, through
the new employees brought to
Hope and seeond, through the
advertising by the selling of the
-four. We wish the new owners
the best of success in their ven
tuve in our city.
