ROMANCE OF RUBBER

TROM beleaguered Germany comes story that the
 wOnderworking chemists of the kaiser have practi-
 cay produced synthetic rubber to be made cheap y as S150 per pound This price will sound little high even to the man who is buying at prices shoes for his big automobile but to the Germans who have needed rubber so SOrey for in the war; the figures will seem reasonable The of rubber has in it some chap ers that not especially creditable the white The tales of the Congo shocked the enlightened world and later these duplicated by accounts from the Ornoco and the Amazon It is curious to note at this time that it in connection with the atrocities of the rubber trade in South America that Roger Easement first began to climb to knighthood His toisome investigations broke up the practice and for him such notice brought him to high honor lately forfeited because of his devotion to an ideal
 England has chapter of the story to its credit While other countries vany seeking for the artificial substance that would instead of rubber the Brit lsh took the far practical of planting rubber plantations around the Straits Settlements Within ten years the production of rubber there has risen from noth ing to than 60 per cent of the worlds supply This has given Great Britain almost control of the rubber profit The Dutch followed Sut and from the plantations in the East Indies and around Singapore now comes three fOurths of all the rubber used Millions of pounds still come down from those steamng jungles of South Amer lea at the foot of the Andes but this supply like that of the Congo longer dominates and soon may be actually neglected as factor.
 The United States has share in the romance of rub ber tOO for its of the material process of manufacture than any other nation but it must buy it's supply abroad Therefore, the German discovery is of interest here.

WHEAT YIELD AND PRICES

THE sensational upward bound in the price of wheat
 following the publication of the August crop estimate
 from the department of agriculture deserves at least part of the attention 1t to get To begin with 6OeS not preSage famine. The United States has wheat Tn plenty to feed its people and may have some left over Last years wheat crop throughout the world was above any known record In the United States it amounted to
 billion bushels, for the first time history The export demand not large had been looked for because the European countries also harvested bumper crops The English crop the greatest in many years owing to the increased acreage and this despite the war. Canada Italy, Russia and France showed similar totals while from ndla Australia, New Zealand Argentina and Chili yields exceeding any former figures were reported What was raised In Germany and Austria known but the gov ernments of those countries insist that agricultural opera tons had not then been seriously interrupted by the war Is left the world at the beginning of 1916 with the arg est surplus of wheat it had ever known.
 Much less wheat planted in the United States this year, for the the farmers did not feel encouraged to increase the surplus With the present estimated yield of wheat all the normal requirements of the United States will be met and about 300O000 bushels left for export How much of last years crop is left in the country is not exactly known, but 1t is considerable quantity and means that all anticipated demands for wheat and flour readily be met.
 No need go hungry in the United States because of scarcity of wheat from which to make flour The rampant bulls may hoist the price higher than it is but sooner later the presence of the actual wheat will be fet and the market will respond to the law it cannot always evade that of supply and demand

BOUND OVER ID
 J. $. GRAND JURY

Robert Bryant, who was arrested ir Chloride Tuesday on charge of ut tering counterfeit treasury notes, had a hearing before Commissioner Smith last evening and was bound over to the United States grand jury.
 Bryant claimed that he was not the author of the counterfeit bills and that if any had been passed by him they were issued to him by others. Four S1O treasury notes of crude design were among the lot passed on Chloride people.
 The notes were evidently photo graphed and printed from a poor half tone, the color being bad and the printing "bleary" The printing was done on two sheets of paper and the sheets pasted together, a few silk threads being laid on the pasted sheets. Four witnesses testified against Bryant.

NEW MOLYBDENUM AND
 NICKEL FINDS MADE IN
 SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

In view of the interests in metals
 entering into war supplies, two con else reports of the department of the
 interior, written by F. c. CaIkins, of the United States geological survey, on molybdenite and nickel ore in San Diego county, California, are timely. Mir. Calkins describes clearly the modes of occurrence of the ores and gives helpful suggestions for further development work and prospecting.
 The molybdenum prospect is in a dike of fine grained granite (aplite) containing an average of much less than per cent of the mineral molyb- denite (molybdenum sulphide). Only one prospect has been located thus far, but the surrounding country is favor able for the discovery of others. The nickel deposit is an irregular body in a dark igneous rock (gabbro) and is shown by Mir. Call1ins to have an origin similar to that attributed by most geologists to the famous deposits at Sudbury, Ontario. The nickel Oc- CUTS in an iron-nickel sulphide (prob- ably polydymite) and assays of more than per cent of nickel have been obtained. Copper is also present in quantities ranging from a trace to 2.4 per cent, and conditions are favor able for the presence of platinum.

The com pany has opened up splendid bodies of tungsten ore and expects to be able to market the product at good prices.
