Smith stuck. He accumulated for

out of the desert and created big

Then, with large income to invest,
Smith became interested in a fast fer

debt.

He saw his borax holdings sold to pay
loans. But also he recalled that many
years back he had been one of the
company interested in u silver claim
that, to all appearances, would not
produce. Smith had thought different
ly and put in 100000, taking stock in
payment. This he had turned over to
his wife just before the crash came.
And now in his extremity. the mine
was coming to his rescue.

He at once went after borax de-
posits in the Searles lake region, Sc
cured leases after a hard fight in
Washington, and made the mine pay
for his initial equipment. If it failed
the mine was lOst-and there was
some reason to believe that 1t might.
Just then came word that three pros
pectors had found boraX mine in
Nevada, near the Grand Canyon. He
rode so miles on horseback into the
desert to get there. He didn't have
time to appraise the property, for COM
petitors were in the field. He had to
act at once and only upon his judg-
ment.
Don't weaken!" said his courage.
He closed the deal for quarter of n
million. And he was seventy-three.
If he judged wrong his last card was
gone. He took the mine while aston
ished rivals looked on.

GRAVEL 1926 AND
GRADE, 100 MILES,
COMMISSIONER BABCOCK TO
CALL FOR BIDS ON 20 I'M.
PROVEMEEI PROJECTS.

Charles NJ Batcock, state highway
commissioner, this week will call for
bids beginning July 10 on a new list
of 20 grading and graveling improve
mems averaging $4,000 each in es-
timated cost, according to the current
highway bulletin.
The new betterments on the trunk
system will be widely distributed
over the state, the bulletin shows,
under the policy of spreading bene-
fits as widely as possible and to serve
the larges. numbers of highway
users. While funds allow only linn
tied number of undertakings now, it
is pointed out, waiting improvements
are correspondingly nearer construc-
tion and Minesota's good roads pro-
gram is well up to schedule in spite
of unexpected reductions in funds.
The new call for bids is to follow
closely upon the action by congress
on the federal aid appropriation for
the next fiscal year which is cut fifty
per cen. or nearly S1,500,000 from
those of other years and until re-
Gently expected. Highway officials
announced that every effort will be
made to use the money to serve the
greatest good and the largest possible
proportion of highway users. Plans
are being speeded to give early bene-
fits through better roads.

WAR UPON WOOD WASTE.

"Only 80 per cent of the wood
in forest now gets into the form
of seasoned, unplaned lumber. Of
this an additional 10 20 25 per
cent is lost in the process of manu-
facture. In extreme cases as little
as three per cent of .he wood in
the forest may reach the finished
product" This statement is made
in booklet just issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture, entitled
Forest Products Laboratory, de-
scribing the work and aims of the
experimental laboratory maintained
by the Forest Service in coopera-
tion with the University of Wis
consin at Madison, Wis.
The booklet outlines how, through
investigation and experiment, the
Laboratory is devising and broad
casting practical commercial
methods by which this enormous
waste of the coun.ry's timber sup
ply can be reduced. BY reducing
this waste, it is pointed out, the
life of our present forests will be
prolonged and the problem of grow
ing new forests made simpler, be-
cause by preventing the waste of
timber less timber will have to be
grown.

The three games of base ball put
on by the Alpha-Omega and the Ely
teams Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
brought out fair crowds and the ex-
hibitions were enjoyed. The visitors
were easy for the Ely team and the
only question about the whole per-
formance is, how did they win the
game on Monday evening. One of
the local team on being asked this
question made the statement that the
sun blinded the Ely players in their
half of the inning while clouds dim
med the effulgent rays of old Sol in
the visitors half. Owing to .he pos
ition of the diamond for an evening
game, this was possible but not prob
able as We know of no grievance
between the sun and the Ely players.
