CHANCE FOR MONSTER
PULPMILL ON BLACK
FEET RESERVATION

Missoula. Mont, Jan. 9.-Conditions
unusually favorable for the location, in
northern Montana, of paper mill with
an annual capacity of 100000 cords of
pulp wood are described by r. P. Nc
Laughlin. supervisor of the Blackfeet
national forest, in a report covering in
vestigations he has been conducting for
several years.
/. The most likely location, Mr.. Nc
Laughlin says. is in compact body Ut
timber on the Flathead river. just west
Of Glacier National Park. He says
this stand would afford 100000 cords Of
pulp wood, easily accessible to govern
ment roads already built at cost of
500, 900. and handy to natural water
ways for cheap transportation to the
mill. Natural power sites may be
found on or adjacent to Flathead lake.
it is declared, and railway transporta-
ton is close by.
The market for such a mill. the re-
port states, would be found in the inter-
mountain territory from the Canadian
border to the Gulf of Mexico. 1t is es-
timated the annual paper consumption
Of this region is 10000 tons annually.
Suflcient wood to run mill with this
capacity is available in the Flathead
territory for 60 years operation. or with
rotation of cutting. it is declared. tho
yield will be found practically mex
haustible.
1t is expected that bids for the pur-
chase of government timber in this sec
ton, with a view to erection Of a paper
mill, will be asked by the forest service
in the near future.

Coal Tar Can Do
the Wine Watts Work

! New York, Jan. 9-Announcement
was made tonight that, by newly
discovered method, coal tar can be
made to yield tartaric acid and
other important substances which
help to lower the costs of living and
lessen the blow of prohibition.
! The details were explained in a
joint paper read before the New
York Section of the American
Chemical Society at so East 41st
| street and written by the inventors
! and patentees of the process. John
NJ. Weiss and c. r. Downs. respec-
lively the manager and the chief
chemist Of a well-known firm of
chemical manufacturers of this city.
The basis Of the process is meth
cd Of building up various substances
from maleic acid obtained from ben
FOL one Of the derivatives of dark and
viscid coal tar. Maleic acid has been
separated from the juices OF certain
plants and. fruits. but at so high
cost that it could not be put on the
market and was considered merely
as a laboratory curiosity. BY the
Weiss-Downs process, benzol is mix
ed with air and the vapor is passed
over a catlyZer. a material which al
tiers the speed Of chemical reactions
without being in itself affected. On
account Of their mysterious power to
join other substances in CHEMICAL
wedlock, catalyzers are known as
chemical parsons"
With maleic acid as a base, II is
possible to prepare other valuable
acids.

JACKSON COUNTY

AFTER CONSIDERATION OF
GOOD WORK.

Jackson county's board of supervis-

resolutions heartily endorsing the

ion that the constabulary Is vital
part Of the law enforcement machin-
cry Of the State This action was ia
ken after full and fair consideration of
the facts and In recognition of the
efficient service given throughout the
state as well as In Jackson county.
This action Is important because
the Jackson supervisors, like those OF
other counties, had been sent false
and misleading statements regarding
the State Police and had been urged
by the interests opposing a strong
statewide law-enforcement body to
adopt condemnatory resolutions In
stead Of acting hastily. and without
Investigation, as was done in some
counties, the Jackson supervisors Sc
cured the facts, discussed them and
adopted their resolutions on the basis
Of their weighing of these facts. -

CASH AND RING ARE RECOVERED

1t was nine O'Clock In the morning

on the street but the majority OF mer-
chants were taking care OF their early
morning trade or getting things into
shape for the days business. A wo-
man who conducts a store In a por-
tion of the building which the panK

themselves to all available cash and
then quickly escaped In their waiting
automobile.
Immediately the State Police at

daring robbery. Believing that the
bandits were headed for Detroit, Cor

In the meantime a posse was hur-
riedly formed and one group came up
on the automobile which had been
abandoned by the bandits when tire
blew out.
The State Police hurried to this
point and assisted in throwing
Gordon about a cornfield into which 1t
was believed the robbers had fed.
The first two to be captured were Vim

Of Hamtramck, and Ray Spencer,
twenty-five years old, Of Wyandotte.
A few minutes later the posse. headed
by Corporal Masters, captured sam
Rommand, twenty-four years old, also
of Wyandotte.
Three bandits had escaped through
the net. Corporal Masters immediate
ly organized another searching party
and they began to close in toward
Monroe. The remaining three were
captured In a marsh two miles north
OF the town. They gave their names
as Vitko Caro-, Leo FRANCO and Bognk
