The Pioneer stone quarry, locat-
ed about seven miles from Toledo,
has been leased by its owners, J. .
VI. and J. H. Howell, to q syndi-
cate composed of Salem and Port
land parties, consisting of d. Ryz
nearson, II. G. Luker and A. l..
Headrick. The name of the COM
pany will be the Pioneer Sandstone
company. The stone is gray
sandstone and is considered by ex-
perts to be one of the finest stones
on the coast, being superior to the
famous Tenino, Washington stone.
It has withstood successfully a
chemical test which dissolved other
sandstones considered good in two
hours. It's capacity of resistance
is greater, also, than any other
stone found on the coast. 1t takes
beautiful finish and is soft enough
to be easily worked, this latter oper-
alton being materially assisted by
straight grain of the stone. There
is a whole mountain of this stone,
and the supply is practically mex
haustible. The quarry is about 80
rods from the Oregon Pacific track
and a spur will be built out to it.
Until this spur is built the product
of the quarry will be hauled to the
railroad by teams and wagons, as
the new company already have a
thirty car contract to fill.

The question that the Levy Court
will DO called upon to decide Is. will il
be better for them to allow the City
Railway Company to lay their track'
lacross the Washington bridge and
forfeit the $4,000 promised by the
Water Commission, OF to prevent The
laying OF the tracks and thus secure
this amount for the comfy? The
Water Commission notified the Levy
Court some time ago that II the tracks
were laid they would not use the
bridge for their pipes, and that this is
their determination ID shown by
President Porter who In recent in
ltervlew said:
The Levy Court Commissioners
will certainly not get the $4,000 which
lconstructlon OF the bridge IL the street
car rails are laid over the bridge. The
board passed a resolution to that of
feet six weeks ago, and sent IL to the
Levy Court Commissioners. Since
that time we have not heard O word
from them. That is our ultimatum II
the matter and you can say that the
money will be paid to the Levy Coui
lonly on condition that the tracks ar
not placed on the bridge. In case o
refusal to comply with our request WI
shall be compelled to convey the waite
pipes over the creek independent o
the bridge structure. The Vibration
lin case the tracks were laid on thu
bridge would in timo seriously dam
age the pipes and entail additiona
cost to the department"
If the Levy Court Commissioner re

'surance that the tracks will not g.

The ingenuity OF man is rapidly
turning to use many things that for
years have been allowed to go 10
waste. Among the latest OF these dis
coveries or inventions is process by
which the Stag or waste that accuinu-
lates SO rapidly around iron furnaces
lie converted into a valuable fertilizer.
Not long ago 1t was discovered by
John Reese. Pitteburg iron master.
that the waste material was especially
rich in phosphates, and II properly
handled would be a valuable plant
food on almost any soil. This was
found to be especially true Of the slag
formed from the ores used in making
iron and steel by the basic process. In
which lime Is extensively employed.
The ore contains a large percentage oil
phosphorlc acid, which. after the &C.
tlon of the lime, forms a phosphate OF
great strength, and when ground to a
powder Is q splendid fertilizer without
further treatment. The Stag resulting
from other processes is not SO valua-
bic. but most OF the powder made 30
tar has produced excellent results.
News Of the discovery soon reached
Germany. and samples sent there were
tried by the beet farmers with so much
success that the founder In that coun.
try began converting their Stag into
the fertilizer. The demand became
so general that heavy orders were
placed with the Pottstown Iron Com
lpany, and the British steamer Hexham,
which sailed on Friday last from Phlla.
ldelphia. took cargo OF 2200 tons OF
phosphate to Dantzic. Germany. where
1t is to be used by the farmers, and or
ders aRgregating $4,000 tou have been
received by the Pottstown Iron Com
lpany. at whose works the vast acmu
lations OF Stag are being reduced to
powder.
The new phosphate is regarded at
particularly valuable because 1t con
tains no weed seeds OF disease carry
Ing matter. 1t has been found an alb
Isolute preventive for the deadly cut
worm, and stops the ravages of the
ground mole that plays such havoc IN
some sections of the country. The
small PARTICLES OF steel kill them in
short order.

standing with watering can In hand rs
If preparing to water her own feet, which

Not waiting to hear his answer Nellie

in that which seldom spoiled her happy

not that she had forfeited her place in
the minister's esteem.

Aunt Dorothy met her with: "Now you

Pile who lived several miles away.
"Shall go" she asked her aunt.
"Of course? No use making matters
worse by refusing"
So Nellie said she would accompany
the minister, though her sensitive nature
rebelled against the trial.
After packing basket Of food for the
poor people, Nellie waited in nervous
anxiety for her escort. When he ar
rived, she quietly allowed him to assist
her into the trap, where she sat almost
dumb, panied expression upon her
face.
