DRY LAND POTASH FOUND AlANTIOCH Well Forty Feed Deep Near Itrlgg Iiake Yields Stronger Than Waters From Wells In Lnke , ' In making tests boring wells for potash brine, a well was bored on a side Jbill near the famous Briggs lake on dry land and from which water Is being pumped that tests 6 per cent beau me, which Is stronger In potash than water from any of the wells In the lakes. It was a discovery as re markable as discovering gold, bo cause no one ever dreamed ,: of potash being anywhere other than in the lakes and adds to the theory that great beds of potash are locat ed somewhere . beneath the surface, the water seeping through them Into the lakes being' impregnated with potash therefrom. Some of the pot ash people are working on the the ory 'that these beds of potash will yet be uncovered and thereby get away from the expense of having to evap- erate the brines to produce the pot ash. Antioch ' News. , CANNING SEASON IS A L PERPLEXING PROBLEM With the canning season at hand housewives are facing the dreary prospect of having to put; many empty Jars In their fruit cellars. Red raspberries, - loganberries, and black berries are beginning to arrive and are selling at the highest prices ever asked for. them, the grocers say Loganberries are wholesaling , at 17.60 per orate of pint boxes. They are retailing-at 35 cents per box. This is an Increase of 5' cents per box from last year. Though this may seem like a great deal to Alliance housekeepers, it is not near so large a raise as other places have had. Blackberries are ; quoted al the same prices, wholesale and retail. apricots, peaches and plums are starting off at about the same prices that they were last year, $4.00 Is the wholesale price on all three and they are retailing at 25 cents per lb.'- Getting sugar for canning Is an other problem that vexes the house wife. Sugar is wholesaling at 123.19 per hundred and retailing at 25 cents per p ound. A preserver who has a factory in Scottsbluff told a local dealer this week that he is paying between 613 and 614 per hundred pounds there for sugar he uses in preserving. This Is the fixed price for the month, be said. Although the fruit is out of reach there is an abundance of fresU vege tables on the market and prices are beginning to decline. .. New potatoes are now wholesaling at 13 cents per pound and retailing for 16 conts, al though a decline of between 2 and 4 cents is expected by tho Atid of the week. Onions are wholesaling tor 64.50 per crate and retailing, tot 1 2 V4 cents per pound. .

Visiting Elks and others were given a good run for their money at the roof garden Thursday evening, where thlrtoen rounds of. boxing were on the schedule. The rain was an attendance Jinx, but it aidn t dampen the entnusiasm or. masy fight fans. . Several who live at a distance from the city rusned nome while they could get home, but the majority, took a chance and were well rewarded. The preliminaries, which are ordl-j narlly used to stretch out a program I to a decent length; proved to be re- J markably short, but not without I their thrills. There were exactly I two knockouts within ten minutes. In one of them a- boxer receiving a broken wrist. Florins and .Ander son, two locals, staged the first pre lim three rounds., The air was Just chilly enough to put steam Into the work, and the locals put on a good show while it lasted.

He was arraigned in coun- months that he has been wearing the eloves. The crowd hardly got a chance to see him in action, but they are nrepared to believe that he packs some whallop In bis left. Plplier Twins of Crawford A special attraction was the Pipher twins. Dale and Doyie, or Crawford, who staged a three-round exhibition. The seven-year-old fly weights put a lot of ginger into their work .and exhibited a considerable amount of science for youngsters that age, or several years older. They have been trained by their father, J. W. Pipher, and have been boxing for over two years. The crowd waxed enthuelaBtic over the swings and gave them a royal re ception, and, at the close of the bout, tossed enough silver on the ring to fill one of the boys' sailor hats Griffiths Robtan' Rout The main event of the evening was the bout between Johnny Grif fiths of Akron. O., and Navy Rostan of Chicago. The two men are In the welterweight championship class and they showed real class all through tea rounds. The crowd came expect lag Rostan to get the worst of It. and rooted for him all the way through, at first to cheer him up and later to applaud . his work. Abe Pollock, veteran sports writer, who refereed the bout, called the bout a draw, but a popular decision would have found Rostan the favorite. Griffiths rushed the righting in the first two rounds, but for the1 next six was apparently on me aerensive. During the last two rounds he came Dace strong, oui in me lemn rouno Rostan had the better of the argu ment. There was considerable clinch ing throughout the bout, but not a bit of stalling. The bout is conced ed to have been the best ever staged In western Nebraska, and not one of the big crowd was heard to crab over the evening's entertainment.
