Remote Mountain Lake
Gives Salt of Many Uses
WENATCHEE, Wash., Juno 27 —
(/P)—The world’s greatest deposit of
Epsom salts is being mined from an
ancient lake bed in the mountains of
the extreme north central part of this
state. Under a 12 foot covering of
mud, itself testing 55 per cent Epsom
salts, is a layer of from 18 to 28
feet of the product which assays 95
per cent pure.
Development was recently started.
Tunnels have been run thru the
solid crystal formation, dynamite be
ing used to loosen it, after which
it is shipped ten miles away to
Oroville for refining.
Besides being a base for over 100
chemicals, these salts have a wide
commercial usage, ranging from face
powder to brake linings.
GRACE’S PETTICOATS
There’s something strange
About my cousin Grace,
For wearing petticoats
She thinks is no disgrace.
—Cincinnati Enq uirer.
Hold on. hold on, Sammy bey.
Methinks you state what ..in’t'
The next thing you’ll lie telling is
That Gracie doesn’t paint.
•—Warren Tribune.
If Gracie wears* her petticoats
And doesn’t bob her head,
You’ll find if you investigate
That Grace has long been dead.

CENSOR EARNS THANKS
OF THOSE WHO STUTTER
| LONDON, June 27. (>P)—Pro
test against the redicule of
stammering on the stage was j
filed recently with Sir Geoige j
Crichton, comptroller of the
lord chamberlain’s office, by J. j
Herbert Miall, head of an in- j
stitute for defects in speech, j
who contends that the ‘e is as j
much inhumanity in jesting with |
this disability as there would j
be in the case of blindness J
deafness or other physical ail- I
ments.
In his reply to Mr. Miall Sir j
George said that, whde ques- ;
> lions of bad taste do nc: prop- <
| erly constitute a ground for
j censorship so long as personal
allusions are not implied, nev- |
ertheless the lord chamberlain, ;
who has authority to ban plays i
or any part thereof, will take
the Miall protest /into consider
ation so as to avoid, so far as
possible, causing pain and hu
miliation to those afflicted I
with defects such as stutter- i
ing.

SHOULD HAVE LICENSES

should take out a license if our game

This week the editor of the Gateway

shooting robins inside the town lim

ing stopped. Song birds should not
be molested at any time. Game in
the vicir.ty of Seward should also be
let alone and within a short time it
would be of great interest to tourists.
