Mercy Flights debuts new helicopter ... Mail Tribune 100: Feb. 14, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 14, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Feb. 14, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News Feb. 14, 1915 (From the Record) The mineral springs bond proposition is exactly where it was immediately after the bonds were awarded to the syndicate of Ashland business men represented in the deal by Hon. R.P. Neil. The syndicate's sale of the bonds to C.S. Woody, on his bid as agent for the Portland Trust & Savings Bank and the firm of Sweet-Causey-Foster & Co. of Denver, has failed to materialize. G.W. Smith, who spent several days here representing the Denver end of the combination, left Wednesday. On his arrival here he claimed that Woody was not authorized to make the offer he did on behalf of the Denver firm. He represented that his firm would stand by the bid providing certain concessions were made. These consisted of making the bonds serial instead of optional, and also making them payable in New York instead of Ashland. After conferring with Dillon-Thompson-Clay, the New York bond attorneys, the city council did not see its way clear to grant the concession. Mr. Smith also made a cash offer of less money, which the syndicate could not accept. The syndicate will take the sale of the bonds up with other houses that have offered to bid on them. The Smith-Emery company of engineers at San Francisco was also represented here, while the negotiations were going on by their Mr. Smith — though the presence had no bearing on the negotiations, being wholly with the springs commission.   WASHINGTON, D.C. — Baking experiments to test the value of making bread of potato meal mixed with wheat flour are now being undertaken by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Chemistry. This is to test the possibilities of the potato in the same manner as Germany and Austria are now advising their people to do. The increased cost of living throughout the world has emphasized the fact that flour made of other substances than wheat, or of these substances mixed with wheat, might provide people with healthful food quite as nutritious as the pure wheat flour, and at the same time cheaper.
