Mr.. .Inmcs LyttIc May 1th lo2l
Mcckcr. Colo.
/ Dear Mr. Lyttlc:-
| have been reading The Meckcr
| Herald for some time and noticed the
Culiforninns opinion of the value OF the
oil Shalc lnmd in April Both number.
last full had the pleasure Of
meeting MIR Edmund Pauls on several
occasions and believe gave him IL dif-
fcrcnt impression of the values of this
wonderful natural resource.
These resources are of great ma
| tiunul economical Importance, which II
nppcurcd to me, TINT local business men
failed to grasp which was evidently
caused by their long and intimnte
Knowledge of them and the fact that
for their business they had little or no
value.
Rio Blanco County. as shown by
the classified list of mincia lands val
rogcn and published by the United
States Geological Survey. has over 100
600 acres. From direct examination In
which spent three months goin over
deposits. 1t is safe to estimate 10 foot
of available shnlc which will recover
one barrel per ton In oil. or approNi-
matcly 10000 barrel per acre. Also i'm
mcnsc quantities of ammonium sulphate.
potash, gold. silver and platinum. In
fact the total amount which may he re-
covered from the deposits in your coun-
ty is as folows:-
on 25OOO, O,OOOOOO bnrrcl ut $500
will bring $75.OOOOOO,O
Potash 3OO,OOO.OOO ton at $4,000
will bring S4S.O0O. .OOOOOO
Am. Sulphntc OO.OOO.OOO ton at
5000 will bring $4O.OOO. .OOO.OOO
Gold 2.OO.OO.OOO ounces nt $1,000

Silver 25.OOO,OOO.OOO ounces nts1, 90
will bring 25OOO.OOO.OOO
Platinum 1.:OOOOO,OOO ounces mt
5000 will bring, 10000 OOO.OOO
Total gross values S343.OOO. .OOO, 600
Some have questioned whether or
not gold. silver and platinum are con-
tanned In shnlcs. but In all slinles there
are more or less platinum. and In the
slinlcs Of your state. gold. silver and
platinum In paying luntities. are found
throuout. provided they are properly
treated before an attempt Is made to
recover the metals. -
II would bc n grrnt thing. and In fact

This tx II question that IL confronting
good many farmers and dairymen ut
the present time, and more particul-
nrly the dniryman, because with milk
prices suddenly dropped he has to fig
ure ont some method of cutting down
the cost OF production TO offset the
drop in price 1t is true that labor and
feed have both dropped considerably
but hardly In line with the drop In
dairy products. 1t Inns been proved by
our Experiment Stations and dairymen
that milk can Ike produced mt much
less cost by the use OF silage thnn with
out It, A. very striking example was
shown Mt the Ohio Station few years
ago where they substituted silngc for
grnin. The cost of feed per hundred
lbs of milk was GS.7 cents. with silagc
and $1O5 with grain. The net cost of
n pound of bltterfnt was 13.1 cents per
with silage and 22.1 with grain. The
profit over the feed cost per COW per
month with silngc was $J.S while with
grain 1t was only $2.4G. \ difference

CARL WANDERER IS HANGED
slayd Of Wife, Unborn Babe and
Gagged Stranger" Dies On
GaIlows in Chicago.

Chicago Oct 3.-Carl O. Wanderer,
who was hanged here for the murder
of his wife, Ruth, his unborn child
and the ragged stranger" confessed
to jailer Peter Lawrence, the jailer
said, that he had killed his wife and
the ragged stranger The jailer said
that Wanderer made the confession
during the walk to the galloWs.
Jailer Peter Lawrence took the con-
demned man from the death cell at
7:14, soon after sunrise, and in another
minute the death march had started.
The trap was sprung at 7:19
When the death march started he
walked with the mechanical stride that
has characterized his movements about
the jail. With head up he took his
place beneath the rope.
Instead of proclaiming his innocence
or crying out an invective against his
captors, Wanderer opened his mouth
and in a clear, strong voice sang a
verse of ooh, Pal. Why Don't You
Answer Me?"
When he came to the word ten
derby" his spiritual adviser interrupted
him, asking him to repeat after him:
20 Lord, have mercy on my soul"
The prayer had no sooner died on
his lips than the trap was sprung, the
rope was frightened and Wanderer had
paid the penalty exacted by law for
the cold-blooded Staying of three
persons in the vestibule of his home

LLOYD GEORGE is INVITED
Harding Makes Direct Personal Ap-
peal to British Premier to Come
to Washington.

London, Oct 4-President Harding
has made a direct personal appeal to
Premier Lloyd George to attend the
disarmament conference at Washing
ton, according to the usually well-in-
formed Sunday Chronicle.
When and how the invitation was
made is not revealed, hut, it is con-
sidered likely here that this is the
basis for the reported anxiety Of the
premier to go, even if only for fort
night.
But the premier has been so busy
with the Irish and the unemployment
questions during his holidays at Gair-
loch that he has not found an oppor-
tune moment to discuss the Washing
ton conclaye, intending to call spe-
cial session of the cabinet for this pur-
pose Immediately after returning to
London.
