ANOTHER PROSPECTIVE
RESOURCE

Among the many resources Oh
southern Oregon that have from time
70 time been called to attention is
another. that so far as we know, has
not been exploited in public print.
T. is known that the use of carbonic
acid gas is very general and the
quantities required are immense. All
of our soft drinks are carbonated.
For this purpose carbonic acid gas
is required, besides which there are
countless uses to be made of it. For
commercial purposes it is very large
ly manufactured and shipped to all
parts of the country. Prof. W. H.
Harris of San Francisco has been
looking over the mineral springs near
Ashland to ascertain the quantity OF
gas that can be obtained there. To
the American representative he ex-
pressed great astonishment at the
immensity of the supply. He said
that in its palmiest days Saratoga's
supply was meagre as compared to
the Ashland collection of springs.
He prophesies great things from
this supply of carbonic acid gas,
which he says will be liquefied, plac-
ed in tubes and shipped all over the
country. His purpose in coming here
was properly to gauge the quantity
with a view of installing the neces-
sary plant for this purpose. The
liquefaction of this gas is accom-
plished much in the same way that
air is liquefied and is practically in
the same form. 1t can then be ship
ped to any point and when the pres
sure is removed the gas is released
and ready for use.

The opinion upholds the contention
of the several railroads which appear

and rate for freight as fixed by the cor

against interstate business of railroads

U-Boat Victims Chew Leather.

of some of the sailors from the Ches-

their hunger and thirst became SO in

temporarily insane.
