SAGEBRUSH VALUABLE
Claimed That Weed Contains Large
Percentage of Potash

Idaho's sagebrush plains, the brush
on which has heretofore been consid-
cred worthless except for fuel, may
have a value unbelievable, for it has
been discovered the brush contains
soluble potash which may place the
weed on commercial basis. Expert
ments are being conducted across the
boundary line in Nevada and Utah
which may put an entirely different
appearance on the humble sagebrush.
Ashes of sagebrusn, according to
chemical investigation, contain potash
soluble in water. The quantity varies
in different localities, but around
southern Utah and Neveda, there Is
an average of 30 per cent. Further
more, the so-called rabbit brush con.
tains even higher percentage of pot
ash than the sagebrush.
Senator NJ. L. Lee of Phoebe, New,
has advertised in the vicinity of Phoebe
that he will buy, during the next three
months, ashes of sagebrush in carload
lots. The ashes will probably contain
from Is to 20 per cent of soluble pot
ash. The Phoebe banker has contract
ed to ship the ashes to the Virginia
Carolina Chemical company of Rich
mond, Va, where they will be purified
so as to make pure potash. Arrange
ments have been made for chemist in
Phoebe to analze the ashes purchased,
and payment will be made according
10 the following schedule:
Ash containing 81 per cent water
soluble potash or more, $95 per ton;
ash containing % per cent or more,
$50 per ton; ash containing 20 to rs
'er cent $62.50 per ton; ash contain.
ng 10 to 20 per cent, $45 per ton.
1t appears that the leaves and
mailer branches contain more potash
han the trunk, therefore care should
re taken to preserve, so far as posi-
lie, the leaves and small branches.

How the Natives Treat GoriIIa..

Natives in the countries inhabited by
great apes regard them always as hu-
man beings of inferior types, and it is
for this reason that for long time it
was found impossible to get hold of an
entire gorilla skin, because the saw
ages considered it religiously necessa-
ry to cut Off the hands and feet of the
animals when they killed them, just as
they do with their enemies, possibly
for the purpose Of rendering them
harmless in case they should by any
chance come to life again
