A SHIPWRECK COMRADE
LEAVES HIM FORTUNE
international News service)


SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 14-An ac-
quaintance formed in a boat full of
castaways half a century ago bore
tangible fruit for Frederick Clough,
of San Francisco, who has been noti-
fled that through the will of Henry
Ferguson, of Hartford, Conn, he is
left a bequest Of 500 a month for the
rest of his life,
Clough is now seventy-one a of
age. When he met Ferguson, Clough
was a sailor on the old clipper ship
Hornet and Ferguson was a passenger.
The ship caught fire in the South Pa
cltic and the two escaped in a boat
with thirteen members of the crew.
After forty-four days of extreme hard
ship, during which they ran short of
both food and water, the party finally
made one of the Hawaiian islands.
Theirs was the only boat saved.
Clough and Ferguson both came to
San Francisco, the former remaining
here and the latter returning to his
home in Hartford.

If you find an anti-German by the
name of Hans or Herman.
Telephone it to the office; it's a

President John E. White of the county
farm bureau today, on his return from
Boise, where he took examination for.

DR.. White continued, "You had bet
ter not take this down because Won
might be running counter to powerful
~intrenched special privileges" Re
minded that running counter to DOW
erful intrenched special privileges, was
a sort of recreation and sport that was
much INDUCED in by the reporter for

When the meeting is held l expect

New Nitrate Mine
Shows Sudden Vigor
ExDert's Experiments Evoke ExtraOr-
binary Explosion Experimenters
Expect to Enrich Everybody.

It NAV not be generally knOwn-in
fact, as those interested have avoided
publicity, it probably. but it is never
theless. a fact. that a cOterie of Twin
Falls people have begged. bought,
stolen, or otherwise acquired a tract
of land which they believe contains a
large deposit Of both sodium and pO-
tassium nitrate. AS that mineral is
absolutely essential to the making of
explosives, as well as for many other
commercial purposes, such a find
would be most important and valuable.
For this reason the persons who
have the matter under control have
for some time been quietly seeking
further and better information; first
as to the assured character and quail
ity of the deposit: and second, as to
extent, or quantity. They have, we
are advised, some expert testimony
with regard to the latter, but do not
seem ready. as yet, to make it public.
AS to the quality of the deposit, a
number of samples are being exposed
in the window at 121 Main avenue
east, presided over by Mr.. l. w. Park:
and it was an experiment Herewith,
last evening, by Mr.. Nance, an expert
on explosives, that furnished this
item. Looking toward the great use
for nitrate in the manufacture of ex-
plosives, Mr.. Nance was testing the
explosive power of this product, prop
erly mixed with other ingredients. To
this end he took a fine double-barrel-
led shot gun, loaded a shell with a
mixture. r. p in nitrate, and fired at
a board vr post. The shot barely
stuck. and the next charge was made
a little richer. This penetrated about
a fourth inch, w%hereupon a charge
much richer in the nitrate was used.
explosion this time was so sud
den and violent as to tear about two
inches of the top of the gun barrel.
right out and turn it over on shreds of
tough metal at one side as on a hinge.
Had the barrel been less tough, the
chances are that the experimentor's
head would have had a hole through
it. At all events, we are told he was
quite satisfied with the strength of the
stuff under Investigation.
