Mineral Belt Line Moves LIS

II Passenger Service

The new Mineral Belt railroad
has been completed from Qua

house is being erected. Last
week from the Welch mines at
Century the company. moved It's
first car of ore. 1t was carried
to Quapaw, there transferred to
the Frisco tracks and taken via
Joplin to the smelter at st. Louis.
The route of the new road is
from Century to Cardin, where
it will cross Tar river and run
north to Picher, from Picher to
Blue Mound thence northeast
through the mining field along
the state line and into Baxter
Springs. The company's plan is
to cover territory not touched
by the Frisco and M. o. Il c..
lines. From Picher it will build
a spur to st. Louis, and eventually
run spurs to all the mines where
business prospects are good.

that it can be heard at a distance
Of 20 feet from the hole. When
friends who visited the spot with
the representative Of The News
lighted a piece of cloth and
threw it down, there was explos-
ion followed as soon as the fire
reached a considerable depth.
This in itself indicates the posi-
bility that there may be gas
there. 1t is further thought that
the roaring is caused when the
gas escaped through the water.
1t is believed that a small pocket
of gas might have been uncovered
under the sudtereanean stream
and that the entire force of the
gas does not find its outlet
through the drill hole to the
ground. Drilling on this land
has been stopped and the driller
has moved his rigs elsewhere.

Gas in MelrOse

What appears to bea gas strike
was made on the z. DUNCAN
farm in Melrose recently by q.
W. Rardin of Baxter Springs who
was drilling the grounds for
Harnady Of Joplin who is believed
to hold the lease. When the drill
reached a depth of 200 feet it
encountered a swift stream of
water which prevented the work
men from getting any cuttings
until the drill had gone down IS
feet deeper. This was attributed
to the fact that as soon as the
cuttings were made they were
washed away. When the drill
reached the 301 foot depth a
marked roaring began to be
heard. The roaring is so loud

washed and sterilized before use.
The insides of extremely dirty
bottles can be cleaned satisfactor-
lily by the use OF shot or rice.
When the bottles are clean they
may be rinSed and placed in a
wash boiler containing cold
water. The water is then
brought to a boil and allowed to
boil Is minutes, after which the
bottles are removed and placed
on a cloth to drain. II the
bottles are not to be used at
once, clean cotton may be placed
in the mouths to prevent the
entrance of decay forming organ
isms. II is best to fill them soon
after they are taken out Of the
hot water.
New corks are best. Old corks
may be tested by filing the
bottles with water and invertine
them before sterilizing.
Bottles must be sealed tightly.
The contents should not stand
higher than half an inch from the
top, as that much space will be
required for expansion. After
the bottle is filled the cork is
pressed in tightly. While the
bottle is warm it is inverted in
melted paral1in until a thorough
coating is obtained. or sealing
wax may be used.
Baxter Springs to Tulsa (?)
After the interurban has been
completed from Joplin to Baxter
Springs the line will be extended
to Tulsa according to a report
printed in a street railway
magazine. If this line is built
through the same territory which
Mason & Overlees intended to
tap, it may mean a check on the
general plans of these men. 1t
is stated that the difference be-
tween the two projects represent
ed by the two parties is that Mr..
Rogers has the money and that
he is already having some of the
more important bridges built
along his line, while the Others
are waiting for bond buyers and
Others to encourage them in their
undertaking.

Why wilson Refused Pardon.

President Wilson has written
Mrs. Anthony Caminetti the
reasons why he could not par
don her, son, F. Drew Caminetti,
convicted at San Francisco of
violating the Mann white slave
law. The Presidents letter to
Mrs Caminetti was as follows:
1T tears my heart to have to
say to you that I cannot see my
way clear to pardon your son.
If | follow the dictates of my
heart or allowed myself to be in
fiuenced by my genuine friend
ship for yourself and your hus-
band, l would of course do it;
but in matters of this sort it
seems to be my imperative duty
to leave personal feelings and
connections out of the question
entirely and look at the matter
from the public point of view
with regard to the influence it
would have upon other c+ses.
when l look at the case of
your son from this point of view
it seems to me clearly my duty
to withhold a pardon.
my heart goes out to you in
genuine sympathy, my dear Mrs.
Caminetti, and cannot tell you
what it costs me to write you
this, but Pm sure that you will
understand that / am moved en-
tirely by a sense of imperative
duty"

Paper Mill.

Several local parties have been
securing date with the idea of To-
eating a factory to manufacture
pulp. 1t is said there is enough
spruce pine, hemlock and poplar
in this section of Kentucky and
eastern Tennessee to operate a
mill very successfully. There is
said to be one boundary of 25, 900
acres with enough spruce to sup
ply mill for years.
The parties interested took the
matter up the Government and
learned that of the wood con-
sumed in this country annually
for the manufacture of pulp,
about 81 per cent is spruce. Ia
per cent, is hemlock, 9 per cent
poplar and z per cent. of vari-
GUS kinds of wood waste. This z
per cent, probably includes the
long leaf pine used by the va
rious mills thruout the southern
states which are manufact-
uring sulphate pulp.
The department also stated
that the smallest sized pulp and
paper mill which can operate
successfully is one having ca
pacity of Is tons of paper a day.
A mill of this size equipped to
manufacture ceemical pulp and
convent it into paper would prob
ably cost in-the neighborhood of
$500, 10000.
The local men who have taken
this matter up will try and get in
touch with some moneyed men
of the East with a view OF get
them interested. There is
enough raw material in Ken.

the ponderous responsibility of
war with Germany. 1t is a trag-
ical step, declares the President;
and with him the whole world
agrees. But it is a step which
must be taken lest the nations
houor degenerate. 1t is step to
be taken not merely in behalf of
the honor and rights of the
American people, but in support
of the claims of Democracy upon
the. greatest republic. The
solemnity of the occasion inn
presses the whole people; and
yet the spiritual atmosphere is
wonderfully cleared to-day. No
body sees in war any poetry or
glory. The worn-old conception
of "pomp and circumstance" is
cast into the dustheap; and the
American Nation goes forth to
war as graveIy as did the iron
regiments of Cromwell.
But if the nation goes forth to
war with grim set lips and stern
cheeks of resolution, lacking all
those trappings and symbols of
joyous abandon attributed to
warriors of old, so much the
worse for the Germans. This
war-as the whole world may
see-is not of our seeking. Sub
lime patience has marked the
Presidents whole dealings with
the Hohenzollern. The nation
has restrained it's resentment,
there has been no jingoism. All
have hoped to avoid war, if so be
it could be avoided with honor.
We have composed differences as
bitter as ever stood between civ
ilization and barbarism, but to no
avail.
Therefore the President of the
United States, with a moral cour-
age perfected by months and
years of restraint and earnest
seeking for justice and right
without the shedding of more in
nocent blood, lifts the gage of
battle thrown down by blood
thirsty barbarian; and calls to
his side the manhood of the Ma
ton and its resources of treas
ure. that the United States may
go to the forefront of battle to
take its proper place upon the
side of human liberty and human
decency. Well the President
knows what the reply to his call
will be. Long ere this the man.
hood and the treasure of the ma
ton have been his for the ask
ing-the world will see how
quickly democracy will fight to
defend democracy's ideals. all
other means having been denied
by the Prussian mailman.
The Congress received the
Presidents noble address with
tumultuous applause; and will
debate to-day the Flood resolu-
ton. There is no question that
the requests of the President for
various forms of action will be
granted quickly. They cannot
be granted toe quickly. There
is little room for debate; and
these questions should be passed
upon in as simple a manner as
possible. Too much oratory at
the moment would merely dam
age the country's position; and
could not possibly do good. De-
