These are the conclusion In a re ' port made by O.

The commodities set aside condition ally ss possible of production are: Lye ' and bleaching powder, cyanauild, chlo- , mospheric nitrogen compounds, phos fphates from phosphate rock, and fer- rochrome alloy. in. nurnniA it invKiiiuinnn nnn Which the report is based was to dis cover what Industry could absorb large xtnouih blocks of cheap Power to offset the higher cost of raw material and labor due to tne western location. Professor Stafford first considers the possibility of securing the neces sary raw materials for electro-chem ical industries in the west, and under this heading makes a minute analysis 'stone, salt, silica, potassium chloride, phosphate rock, iron ore, chromlte, ', bauxite, for the manufacture of alu ' tnlnum, as well as the ores of copper Kllu BUM , rniinmiitig in till uunca a.o nearly as possible, under the circum stances, the cost of these materials de livered at The Dalles. In connection with these raw materials, there is thenH taken, up a discussion of the entire costs of manufacture attending the . carrying .along of these industries at The Dalles, and finally also the mar- " ketiiyj conditions to be encountered as ' these products are sold. Power Costs Summarised. Briefly summarized, some of the flg- ' .tires advanced in the report are as fol lows. if Power lw estimated a scosting $9 per ..horsepower year, this first figure be ing the one given by the engineers in ' charge of the investigation at The Dalles as the probable cost for primary power. It is pointed out also that, al though this figure for power appears A . . 1 . nHmnnMnJ I L. . 1 . n ....... iv ijw luw, at uuiuai u wilii iiiq luqi ui ' power from other sources in America, taere' must be taken into account the fact that power costs after all are Usually a minor fraction of total cost of finishing any electro-chemical prod uct, and that, as a consequence, the . water powers in the east may easily BUum as competitors with western 'power for these purposes, in spite of their higher cost because of nearness to market and the greater availability of raw materials, labor, capital, etc., these advantages more than compen sating in most instances the greater cost of power. . Carbon, aa raw material, would cost at The Dalles about $S per ton, with . the possibility that In a large way the figure eventually might be reduced to a minimum of 16 per ton. In arriv ing at this conclusion. Professor Staf ford has considered the costs of ob ' tainlng coke from domestic and Alas kan sources, as well as from Canada, and also has taken Into account the possibility of obtaining charcoal as a by-product from wood now wasted in logging and milling operations. The average price of carbon at Niagara Falls is normally less than $4 per ton. llm at The Dalles is estimated to cost a minimum of $6 per ton, it being understood, of course, In this case also tnat tne 'demand xor tnis substance would be steady and large. Probable sources Of lime In the order of their availability are: Puget sound. Baker county and Wallowa county. Lime of excellent quality Is said to be deliv ered to the Niagara Falls Industries at 14.50 per ton. Salt, notwithstanding abundant western deposits, would cost at least tt per ton at The Dalles, the source being solar sea salt obtained from San Francisco bay. The current price of salt at Niagara Falls Is about $3 per ton. The, possibility of obtaining salt from Bummer and Abert lakes, in Cen tral Oregon, Is considered, the conclu sion being, however, that It will not be possible to make use of these sources of salt until such time as the Indus trial situation In the west shall be able to consume locally the enormous amounts of soda which must be pro duced along with salt from the waters f these lakes. . , Silica Is Abundant. - Silica in crude form Is abundant throughout the Paclflo northwest, and soma very pure deposits occur between Puget sound and Alaska, easily acces sible for water transportation. An ex cellent aeposu oi una material also exists near Bpokane. which might be delivered at The Dalles for $2.50 a ton. Potash, of which Germany has long produced the world's supply, might la ter bo obtained in the United States from leuclte, alunlte, .western saline deposits and Paclflo ocean kelps. .The great demand for some form of soluble phosphate as a constituent of commericaj fertilizer, the abundance of phosphate rock In the west, and the fact, that super-phosphate as manufac tured at present, by the use of sul phuric acid. Is a "heavy chemical, which cannot be shipped long distances 10 advantage, point out inai western waterpower may play an . Important part In converting our phosphate rock deposits into available forms.

S These are stirring days In the auto mobile business and to stop the entire working organization for an afternoon is quite, a uacrlfice. Maybe, that is why -about 40 happy youngsters from the Baby home chor tled in high glee' as they were taken out the Bee the sights and why almost as many of the old folks from the Mann home were so spirited and Inter ested in everything that was going, when two local automobile firms put their working organizations at the. dis posal" of these two places. This was on one of the warm after noons of the week when everyone was busiest. C. M. Slenzies stopped long enough to think that possibly everyone was not enjoying tne glorious spring days that have arrived. He men tioned It to the boys and every man there volunteered to put his car at the disposal of the Mann home. Six ma chines were sent to the home out on the Sandy road and the old folks were willlger Boulevard and later up Kings Heights. i Mrs. Carrie Ii Shreve acted as j hostess to the folllowing guests: Mrs. ' M.

Chromite for the manufacture of ferrochrome would cost $18 per ton. Manufactures Declared Unprofitable. As to the industries themselves, the forthcoming report .indicates that, all things considered, the manufacture of aluminum, piglron, frroellicon, car borundum, rraphite, and a few other minor products, could not be manufac tured profitably in the west. Soda lye and bleaching powder could b- r .mfactured in the west up to the limit of the Pacific coast .consumption. These two commodities are manufac tured simultaneously, about 12 parts of bleaching powder being produced for each 5 .parts of lye. Pacific coast con sumption of bleaching powder is thought to be not greater than 5000 tens per annum, so that the industry would be limited to the production of something like this amount of bleach ing powder, with its accompanying 2000 tons of lye. This Industry could absorb but 1000 horsepower years of energy. Calcium carbide would be manufac tured in tile west at somewhat higher erst than In the east, and, moreover, Iht local consumption Is so small that it Is a question whether a western fac tory might be able to operate upon a large enough scale to show a profit. T'otassium or sodium chlorate as basic constituents of chlorate blasting powders, mlcht be manufactured ad vantageously in the west, certainly up to the limit of western consumption, and barely possible for shipment into the eastern market. The manufacture of chlorates demands an unusually large amount of power per ton of WOMAN'S DEATH IS MOURNED BY MANY vTjTii-"' product, and, for this reason, cheaper western power niilght give the west ern manufacturer an advantage over the eastern one. The Case of XTitrogen. While all of the above mentioned in dustries are limited practically to the demands of the local and Oriental mar kets, this would not be true of the manufacture of nitrogen compounds from the air by the use of electrical energy. In this field the demand for the product is so great, both in agri culture and the arts, as well as for military purposes, that any output of the western factory could readily be transported to the east or to wherever else it might be in demand. Hereto fore nltroge.i compounds have come either from Chile, where the supply is approaching exhaustion, or from the coal gas and coke industries, the lat ter not promising anything like a suf ficient Bupply for future needs. At the present momest, with power at the proposed figures of $9 per horsepower year It is estimated that the cost of manufacture of nitrogen compounds would almost exactly equal the normal west coast price of Chile saltpetre, so that no large margin exists to attract manufacturers into the field. How ever, with the depletion of the Chilian supplies. It will be necessary to make use of synthesized) nitrogen compounds more and more, and, under these condi tions, their manufacture at western waterpower sites will be commercially possible. It is believed; that by the time a large waterpower development, such as that proposed at The Dalles, could actually be installed conditions would fully warrant the construction of factories for the manufacture of at mospheric nitrogen compounds. The matter of utilizing waterpower In the phosphate Industry is In a some- i what more experimental stage than is tnj case with the nitrate industry, but all indications point toward the pos sibility of this Industry reaching a satisfactory commercial development within a short time. When this hap pens, the manufacture f concentrated forms of Phosphate materials for the fertilized trade will be distinctly an additional possibility. BUSKM alt: al!!!

Frankfort. Ky.. May 6. -The kicking propensity of a mule is a matter of common knowledge. Also a mule I would be untrue to himself and false to every tradition of his breed if he didn't kick. Therefore, when a mule kicked J. M. Pratt, driver of a mine car for the Consolidated Coal company, when Pratt Btruck him with a whip and at the same time stopped to pick up a chain at the mule's hind feet, the mule was not to blame, ruled the court of ap peals today. The court reversed a Judgment of $500 against the i-Orr.pany granted by a lower court. ?The company's de fense was that an employe, "cannot court danger by itnviting and provok ing a mule to kick him. and then re cover of the master for consequent injuries." i Is Epilepsy Conquered? - . - New Jersey Physfioian Said to Have Many Cures to His Credit. 5 Red Bank, N.
