WYOM|NG'S ALKALI.
INTERESTING FEATURES CON-
TANNED IN THE LATEST UNI
VERSITY BULLETIN.
Just Issued Under the Supervision Of
Prof. Burum-How the Growth O:
e""ds for General Farming Pro-
ducts is Retarded by a Very Small
Percentage of Alkali.

The last bulletin, No. 29, published
by the experiment station, is written by
Prof. Buffum, and gives the results of
his oobservations upon alkali in Wyo-
ming. as well as reporting some new
experiments to determine the effects OF
the salts in the soil upon seed germina,
ton and plant growth. After some
general notes upon the occurrence and
kinds OF a!kal in the state. the lines OF
investigation taken up by the station,
and the amounts of alkali that are in
furious. some experiments which were
carried on in the greenhouse the past
year are reported.
Six tables show the effects of differ
ent amounts of alkali in the soil upon
the growth of seeds of our common
farm crops. In referring to these he
says: The merest glance at any OF
the tables shows that even small per
cents of alkali in the soil will retard
the termination of the seed. and the
larger the amount of alkali in the soil
the greater will be the time the seed
will take to germinate.up to the amount
necessary to entirely prevent develop
ment of the germ"
Thes e experiments are along new
lines of investigation. and Prof. Buff
fun says that some facts new to sci
ence have been discovered in the effects
of salts in the soil upon seed germina-
ton. The bulletin is illustrated and
will be of special interest to all those
living in the arid region where alkall
occurs.
The following summary gives the
chief points Of the bulletin:
The white alkali of general occur
renee in Wyoming consists principally
of sulphates Of sodium and magnesium.
n pei cent or more of these salts
in the first two inches of surface soil
will make it u~nproductive for any but
plants which naturally inhabit saline
soils.
Small amounts CT alkali in the soil
retard termination and growth in pro-
portion to the amount present. This
effect is physiological.
Alkali soil may be reclaimed by
teaching out the salts. where there Is
drainage naturally or artiHcially sup
piled.
The rapid rise OF alkali may be
checked or prevented by hindering sur
face evaporation through cropping and
proper cultivation.
Plants that thrive comparatively well
on alkali soils are sugar beets, white
sweet clover (Melilotus alba), salt
sages" (species of Atriplex), and alfal-
ia under certain conditions. Rye does
better than other cereals.

NORTH PARK SHIPMENTS.

There arrived in Walden Wednesday
morning the outfit Monte Blevins had
over in Middle park rounding up beef
cattle for shipment to the eastern mar
ket, says the North Park Union. This
shipment is one of the largest made
from the park country for many days
and may be the means of changing the
shipping point from Laramie to Wal
colt. This shipment, which consisted
Of fifty-six cars, was made t. Omaha,
and mean a loss to the Union Pacific,
over which line most all former ship
ment have been made, of a little over
$1,000. We understand that the Union
Pacific could have handled these cattle
had they acted as though they wanted
them and not increased the freight
rates.

AT the regular meeting Of the state
board Of charities held in Cheyenne
yesterday. the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Fowler to the effect hat the peni-
tertiary contract with Lessee Marsh,
was a personal one and hat his heirs
did no. inherit the same. was the main
matter taken up for consideration.
The secretary. says the Tribune. read
the opinion and Mr.. Bourne, executor
of the estate of Marsh, was asked if he
had anything to say in the premises.
Mr.. Bourne. evidently anticipating &C
ton of the board, said that he would

tiary there was considerable property
belonging to the Marsh estate, among
which was supplies for the convicts
He wished to talk with his attorneys
Lacey and NanDevanter. regarding the
disposal of this property, but both, al
this time. were absent from the city
Mr.. Bourne f~Oreshadowed his probable
action in the contract matter by re-
marking that he thought there would
be no difficulty in coming t an AMIGA
he understanding at an early date.
Treasurer Hay suggested that the
board set a date when the state would
assume complete control Of the peniten.
tiary. in accordance with the opinion
filed by the attorney general. The liza.
bility of the bondsmen being now re.
moved, the question CT allowing EXecu'
tor Bourne to continue in charge of the
p~enitentiary in the same manner as
provided by the Marsh contract for a
reasonable period. was referred to the
attorney general. and the meeting TOOK

WEST | D CANAL.
Engineer Mead's Interesting Descrip-
ticn CT the Work.

ticn OF the Work.
The leading article i IN the July num-
Der OF the Engineering News was writ
ten by sac Engineer Mead. and is
devoted to the West Side canal, which
WAS c~castrucsed about seventy miles
south of Rawlins by a Providence, r. l.,
company las year. The article is illus
trated by ha.f-tone engravings from
photographs and by a supplement sheet
OF detail drawings showing method Of
construction Of fumes, pipes lines, etc.
In the article, says the Cheyenne Tri-
bnae. Prof. Mead tells in a readable
way the ssory CT the work lone in thai
country for the purpose of saving the
fear gold which is found wherever
sandy deposits exist. The series Of
tests made cover an area of over 20, 900
acres, and the value Of the ground test
ed averages over 80 cents per cubic
yard. The canal constructed last year
is over 30 miles in length and was I'M
der the immediate charge of Fred Bond
and F. j. GARNER, engineers.
The canal. in addition to its use as a
water supply for washing placer
ground, will irrigate about 5000 acres
Of land.
The article calls special attention to
the wooden pipe feature of the canal,
Of which $500 feet were laid, saving
about 1900 feet of fiuming and nearly
10 miles OF ditch work. This wooden
pipe is in the form Of an inverted sy-
phon, and crosses the deep valley of
Four-Mile creek, following the contour
Of the ground surface.
OF the character of the gold deposit,
Prof. Mead says the gold Ia exceedingly
fine and is distributed throughout the
deposit, being almost as abundant at
the roots OF the sagebrush as on bed
rock. An Illustration shows the meth.
cd employed in saving this fine gold.
1t Is not yet known what success will
be reached IN saving this gold, Tor the
first cleanup will not be made before
Sept 1, 1896.

A RANCHMAN's CLOSE CALL.


Last Wednesday NJ. V. Hoffman. a
we'll known ranchman of Dixon. had a
narrow escape from death. says the
Craig Courier. Mr.. Hoffman was riding
to Dixon on ar empty hay wagon in
company with an employee when he no.
ticed something wrong with his horses
brides. He requested his companion
to change the brides. The man COM
piled, taking off both brides. AS soon
as he removed them the horses started
on a mad run. Mr.. Hoffman attempted
to jump from the wagon, but his feet
becoming entangled in the lines. he was
dragged several hundred feet before he
could free himself. Fortunately Mr..
Hoffman had no bones broken, but he
suffered painful injuries and for some
time was unable to walk or sit up. The
horses ran nearly a mile down the road
and collided with the fence at the Dixon
po5toffice before they stopped.

OF the wreck, it seemed most likely to
be achieved OIL the lines suggested by
Count Beust. The choice once made, it
was impossible to turn back. What is

ties in the name Of progress cannot aft.
erward be withdrawn Oh the plea of
prudence. The result is pathetic, but
there is no help for it.

bining to insult the civilized Hungari-

their neighbors. We see Vienna itself
in the hands Of q fanatical anti-Scmitic
rabble, and we see the power of the only
capable parliamentary party in Austria
broken by hopeless discussions. Truly
the domestic state of the empire is
nothing less than pitiable. Its influence
in Europe is also a thing Of the past.
The Balkan states, which were its props
in the south, have publicly gone over to
Russia, and its solitary remaining pro-
lection against dismemberment is the
alliance with Italy, which covets Dali

moving heaven and earth to establish

GOLD HILLS I'M
Several Big Companies Will Develop
the Properties There.

]. A. Wilde and party returned from
Gold Hill last evening, says the Denver
News. He expresses himself as being
much pleased with the carf and will
at once put men to work to thoroughly
develop his properties. This means
that several Thousand dollars will be
expended in the camp and that Sarato-
ga will have another. and this time a
staple boom. The Boston and Wyo-
ming Mining. Milling and Transporta-
ton company will begin work at once
on their properties in the camp, so that
lively times are in store for the Upper
Platte district. Mr.. Coughlin OF the
Boston and Wyoming company, who
was here and inspected the camp a few
weeks ago, returned by way Of the
Black Hills. S. D., and writes that he
saw nothing there that could compare
with Gold Hill. Wyoming. The pluck
and perseverance Of the four men who
stood by the camp with ridicule for en-
couragement, is now about to result in
prosperity for the valley, and the por-
ton OF these few men will not be the
least. Such is life. Messrs. Wilder and
Van Horn go to Brush creek tomorrow
TO look over the proposed smelter site.

ters has made it point to be in Yorkville
on salesdays, and as a result the returns
were made more evenly. The office has
been crowded little during the last three
or four days; but not longer than two or
three hours at a time.
Treasurer Neely is busy too. Most peo-
pie think that when he gets his taxes col
lected, he has nothing more to do until
next year but there is not buster man
about the court house. He can't sleep well
unless he has every paper and account
where he can lay his hands on them with
out moments delay, and his books in
such shape as to show up just how he
stands at any time. These matters, in
connection with his other duties, give
him plenty to do, as the result he is seldom
idle.
School Commissioner Snurley went into
office with the prevalent idea that there
was not much to do. For a month or two
he tried to run the office with two days
work week. He soon learned, however,
that even six days are hardly enough.
Very often he has to remain in his office a
whole week at time, and when he is not
at his office, he is generally visiting the

We are probably not far wrong in stat
ing that there has been more work on the
four miles of the Kings Mountain road,
lust above Yorkville during the past
three months than all the rest of the
roads in the county during the past year.
Not only this, the work has been honest,
persistent, and so far as was realized up
to short time since, intelligent. Just
what the real trouble has been, we are
unable to say. Ifthe loose dirt had been
rolled and packed into place, possibly
the result would not have been so bad ;
but we are inclined to think that there is
only one way to make road good, and
that is to macadamize it. Macadam is
expensive, it is true; but when it is done
it is done, and from all reports, even a
few hundred yards of first-class macada-
MIXING would have been worth far more
than all the work that has yet been done.
However, one thing is certain. Some
new system will have to be adopted and
that quickly. There is no doubt of tie
fact that the work as now conducted is
doing more harm than good.
