fingers! How could he be forced to loose his
hold?
An American chemical manufacturing firm
turned the batteries of its research chemists
wits on the problem. The secret was at last
found: Sea water hangs onto bronline because
it is slightly alkaline, Make it acid, and it Is
willing to let 60
The actual letting go is accomplished by add
ing to the acidihed water little chlorine
one part of chlorine for every part of bromine
present. Chlorine, chemical first cousin of
bromine, is stronger" element: 1t can pry
bromine loose from almost any combination in
which it is a part. taking its place in the
combination and letting the bromine drift out
free gas.
All this the chemists learned in the labora-
tory, first with synthetic sea water which they
mixed up themselves, then with tank carload
which they had shipped in from the Atlantic
Ocean, They found also that the free bromine
could be blown out of the water simply by
shooting a strong stream of air through it.
The bromine could be recaptured from its
mixture in the air by passing it through
strongly alkaline solution of soda ash, and then
released again by acidifying that solution and
warming it. The finally freed bronline could
then be captured as the pure element Solu-
ton of the problem had been attained
All this demonstrated in the laboratory.
When the company sought for a site where
it could be put into profitable operation
large scale, they combined both coasts of the
country.
The right place had to be remote
possible from the outlets of large rivers that
would dilute the incoming supply of sea water.
1t had to be free from sewage and industrial
pollution, 1t had to provide some means OF
dispoSing of the vast quantity of waste water
after the brorrline had been removed. Pref
erably, it should be in warm-water region,
because VAIN water will give up its bromlne
more readily than cold.
All these requirements we're met finally on
a narrow peninsula little above the mouth
of the Cape Fear River 20 miles below Whining
ton, N. C. By cutting canal across the PEN
insula, the pure sea water could be brought
to the plant side and the spent water
discharged into the river on the other, with no
danger of mixing with the supply.
Having decided their site, the company

So when the American public got itself all
excited over the announcement, at the recent
meeting of the American Chemical Society in
Florida that the old hope of getting gold out
of sea water had been made new again. it
was only reacting in an entirely human and
normal fashion.
Golden pavementS for all North America,
golden dollars like seashore sands-it sounded
like an apoCalyptiC dream of the New Jeru-
salem. Bankers might be worried II such
dream were in immediate prospect of coming
true; there can be such thing too much
gold-a permanent imitation on gold basis.
Just what would happen to the worlds
markets if gold became as common as copper?
H. G. Wells please answer: Here's theme for
a novel quite to your liking!
But one shouldn't become too excited over
the prospect of practically unlimited gold
squeezed out of the waters of the sea. There's
no immediate promise OF It's becoming TACT.
And in the meantime the ocean really IS
yielding treasure of far more immediate i'm
portance.

men are now actually extracting from the sea,
whereas they are only beginning to think seri-
Ously about trying to get sea-gold.
The extraction of bromine from water is
easily as romantic tale as any story that was
ever about the Argosy of pre-history's
dim mists the Alaska of 1885, The adven-
turerS were of the same keen. audacious breed,
though their adventuring was done in the chem
ical laboratory and the engineers construction

frozen mountains
The invention of ethyl gasoline and its adop-
tion by the driving public wrought veritable
revolution in one American chemical industry.
In 1924 the production of free and chemically
combined bromine in this country amounted
to approximately two million pounds. In 1881
this quantity had risen to about nine million
pounds, all of which was being produced from
natural brines and from sea water concentrated
by evaporation.
The demand for bromine was becoming 50
great that it had become perfectly evident that

A famine was at hand in an essential COM

Chemists knew there was bromine in the sea.

LOCAL MATCHMAKERS
WILL / FIGHT
r HERE FRIDAY

Local fight cards which were
staged here last fall and summer
by Henry Albert and Leland New
man will be revived here Friday
night by the local promoters.
The initial card, which will be
held in the Washington hall ring,
features Alec Snyder, holder of
the lightweight championship of
Wyoming, and Huck Finn, Wa
shoe slugger, in the six-round
main event. For the semi-final,
the promoters have matched
Charles (Concrete) Saastamoinen,
a top-notcher who hasn't appeared
in a local ring for nearly a year,
and Eddie Earnest of Joliet.
AS a semi-windup, Cliff Ger
hardt, heavy-fisted Washoe boy,
will meet Nick Spagetti of Joliet.
Preliminaries featuring some of
the local glove swingers are also
scheduled.

MANY FANS WATCH
OLDTIMERS T
AT JOLIE FIGHT

Six hundred fight fans jammed
the arena at Joliet Saturday night
to watch huffing, putting ''bad
wolves" of the ring in bygone
days stage impromptu comebacks.
Most of them were handicapped
by bullying waistlines and were
unable to accomplish their two
round schedules, being too ex-
hausted after the first round to
finish the second.
The old-timers, however, in
jected pep, fun and variety into
the unusual fight card and drew
applause and outlaws from the
fans with their exhibitions rang
ing from first-class boxing to AL
%burlesque pantomime. One bout
in particular drew the rage of
"justice lovers" down upon the
heads of the conspirators when
one, Bert Castellano, engaged in
manly combat with one, AL Web
ster, called in half a dozen of his
supporters from the ringside to
aid him in subduing his foe. The
Iron Man. suffered ignominious
defeat at the hands Of the COM
bined forces.
The serious side of the program
saw Billy Hyde of Red Lodge hand
Herman Knaub a thorough past
ing and step out with a decision
over the Fromberg boy. Knaub
fought a good third round, fore
ing the issue and drawing blood on
the local boy, but for the most
part Hyde hit Knaub so fast and
often that his head bobbed like a
cork. In the semi-final Cliff Ger
hardt and Nick Spagetti went four
rounds to earn a draw.
Another card is being staged at
Joliet on Saturday, January 81,
and features Rudy Groshell and
Herman Knaub in the six-round
main event.

BUSINESS CENSUS
IN COUNTY STARTS
Mrs. L. H. Tooley and Levy
Hay Appointed Carbon
EnumeratOrs

A business census taken by
government e~numerators was I'M
this week in Red Lodge
and Carbon county. Mrs. l.. H.
Tooley and Mr.. Levy, both of Red
Lodge, have been appointed enum-
orators for this county by A. R.
Sickler, director of the survey in
IL southeastern Montana counties
with headquarters at Billings.
Mrs. Tooley has been assigned
the city of Red Lodge and vicin-
ity as her territory in the nation
wide survey and Mr.. Hay will call
on heads of business establish
ments in towns throughout the
outlying districts of the county.
The purpose of the survey, as
explained by MIR. Sickler, is to
provide the government with ac-
curate information of present bus
mess conditions as compared with
those of 1929, the year of the last
commercial survey.
All wholesale and retail estab-
lishments in the county will be
visited by the enumerators. Heads
of these firms who sell to farmers
in an indirect way the IT'S COM
modities used on the farm, will be
asked to provide the government
for retail price lists of these COM
modities. Further, the govern
ment asks data on how the affairs
of these businesses stand, the val
.ue of present inventories, amount
of payrolls and number of en-
ployes. Gross sales and net in
comes are also to be set forth on
forms provided for the purpose.
Enumerators have been sworn
to treat all information as conf
Dental and penalties will be ex-
acted for attractions, according to
Mr.. Sickler.

Stepping out on a loose board
while on top of the tipple at the
east side mine of the Northwest

Cowger, it was said, had gone
to the mine yard for coal Tues
day. While on top of the tipple he
stepped out upon a board which
he thought was secured and the
loose plank hurled him to the con-

He was unconscious when picked
up and taken to his home by wit
nesses to the accident.
DR.. E. M. Adams, who attended
the injured man, said Wednesday
that the extent of Cowger's in
juries were not completely de-
termined, but that he would re-
cover. Cowger sustained severe
decorations about the hips and
head and severe injuries to the
back and possible internal injur-

CREDIT
COMPANY FORMED
IN MIDLAND AREA
Carbon Men Are Named as
Corporators of New
Loan Firm

Organization of a production
loan company was announced this
week at Billings to aid farmers of
six counties in this section in pro-
curing loans for production. The
corporation is to be known as the
Midland Production Credit cor
poration and will establish head
quarters at Columbus.
M. H. Boyer, Lester Ward, John
R. Clawson and Clarence B. Prov
inse will represent Carbon county
as incorporators of the new COM
pany. Mr.. Clawson will also repre-
sent this county on the board of
directors.
The Columbus company is one
of nine being formed throughout
the state and is linked with Pro-
duction Credit corporation of Spo-
kane, represented at the meeting
by j. w. Bradley, treasurer of the
Spokane firm. 1t is expected that
about one month viii be required
to complete organization of the
company in this region.
Loans will be made to farmers
for purposes of agricultural pro-
duction to pay the cost expenses
necessary to produce all crops.
They may be used also for buying
of feeder or breeding cattle, the
purchase of dairy cattle or the e.
financing of debts incurred in con-
nection with purchase or owner
ship of livestock, according to Mr..
Bradley.
Fifty dollars will be the mini
mum sum loaned to borrowers by
the corporation and the maximum
loan is figured at twenty per cent
of the company's capital, which in
case of the new company would
be $4,000. Larger loans will be
made through a statewide live
stock association formed by the
corporation with headquarters at
Helena. An eligible borrower is
one who has an interest in a farm
or ranch and gains or loses from
its operation and who presents a
credit statement and plan of OPP
GRAFTON which indicates his ability
to repay the loan. Loans are to
be secured by mortgages.
Loans will be made for periods
ranging from three to twelve
months and may be renewed, in
certain instances, if a portion of
the loan is retired each year. Such
loans may run for three years.
Each loan will be expected to be
retired from the proceeds of the
crop or livestock financed, Mr..
Bradley said.

MAYOR DECLARES
FUND EXHAUSTED
States Public Emergency
Exists AS Street
Fund Goes

Declaring that the city street
fund is practically exhausted and
that a public emergency exists
thereby, Mayor E. w. Allen in
troduced into Friday nights meet
ing of the council at city hall a
resolution which provides for the
additional ~budgeting of $3.50, the
amount required to meet the
emergency. The measure was
passed by unanimous vote of the
councilmen, excluding Alderman
Ray Houtenan who was absent at
the meet.
The amount of the street fund,
as appropriated in the city bud
get for the year ending June 30,
1884, for the maintenance of the
city's streets and alleys, has been
expended on the CWA street
crawling project in Red Lodge.
1t is necessary hat this work be
continued, the resolution stated,
and the employment situation Gre
ates a public emergency.
A large number of the city's in
habitants are unemployed and
would be unable to secure work
unless provision for the addition
al appropriation is made for. The
public emergency could not have
been foreseen at the time the orig
inal fund was created in the city
budget, the resolution states.
A public hearing has been
called for Friday night at city
hall where taxpayers who are not
in favor of the measure may post
their complaints.

IRED CARBON FATHER
YIELDS IN
CASE TO KID CUPID

The irate Carbon father, who
filed kidnapping charges against a
young Laurel farmland when the
latter married a minor daughter
at Columbus following a Christ
mas eve elopment of the pair, was
convinced here last Wednesday
that love always finds a way.
After being persuaded by his
daughter, Amelia Miller, nee Mill,
Is, that she married 21-year-old
Alec Miller because she really
wanted to, the father, Henry Mill,
a farmer near Golden, withdrew
his kidnapping charges against
Miller, releasing him from the
county Jail here, where for ten
days he had spent a solo honey
moon. Mill and relatives of Mil
ler's gathered in the court room
of E. B. Provinse, justice of the
peace here, and ironed out the
difficulties out of court.
The bridal couple was accosted
by a deputy sheriff at Laurel at
the instant of Sheriff Jack Nc
Fate on December 81. Sheriff Nc
Fate and Undersheriff Bill Moore
arrested Miller on a kidnapping
warrant filed by the brides faith
err and lodged him in the county
Jail here. At that time the bride
refused to be taken home to her
father and was left with the
bridegroom's parents at Laurel.
She returned to the parental home,
however, when Papa Mill called
for her two days later.
1t was understood at Wednes-
days settlement that the a
riage of the couple would not be
broken, the couple to live at the
home of the bridegroom's parents
near Laurel. Costs of the county
in the case were settled by Miller's
father before his sons release.

Going to Billings Sunday to
fire a shouldn't shoulder match
with the Yellowstone Rifle club
of that city, as part of the tourna-
ment conducted by the Montana
Rifle association, the Red Lodge
rifle team was defeated in a close
ly contested match by IL points.
The aggregate team cores were;
Billings, 1906; Red Lodge, 1895.
In a postal match fired last Fri
day night, Red Lodge won over
Laurel by a team score of 1879 to
1850.
The Billings match might have
resulted in a win for Red Lodge
had not one Of the local shooters
enormously fired a shot upon a
competitors target thereby los
ing ten points for his bulls eye
shot and n point penalty. The
eleven points would have tied the
score in which case the scores Of
the sixth highest shooters would
count, giving Red Lodge a thrill
ing win by one point. Team scores
are based on the aggregate totals
of the five highest scores, al
though any number Of shooters
from five to ten may fire in a
competitive match.
High individual score of 277x30C
was made by Art G. Hoefert OF
Billings, followed closely by Arm
old E. Whitcomb of Red Lodge
with 274. The match was fired in
three positions Of ten shots each
