Dr.. Holmes had written and that was
all.
He, to be sure, was physician as
well as an author; but the masters Of
pure literature have also lifted warning
voices. Thackeray, illustrating the

sobbing and squirming little girl, once
wrote to entertain the little daughter

Nitrogen is supplied by manures, by

Nitrogen Is supplied by manures, by
animal fertilizers and by the nitrate
of soda beds of Chile. It is also taken
from the air by leguminous plants, such
as peas and beans, with the aid Of GER
tain bacteria that form nodules on the
plant roots, and very recently, indeed,
science has discovered how to extract
it directly. from the air and convert it
into a soluble compound with the aid
Of electricity. So there is no longer
any danger, as there was recently, that
the supply Of nitrogen In the soil will
become permanently depleted.
Phosphorus occurs in nature chiefly
as a compound with lime, and various
beds of this mineral, mostly in connec-
ton with ordinary limestone, have been
discovered. Certain kinds Of iron ore
also contain phosphorus and the So
called Thomas Stag" of the basic pro-
cess Of steel manufacture furnishes a
valuable phosphate fertilizer Animal
bones, as utilized in the manufacture
of fertilizers In the packing houses, also
supply certain amount Of phosphorus,
though in a less available form than
that Of the best mineral fertilizers.
Potash has until somewhat recently
been chiefly obtained from wood ashes,
the burning Of wood to obtain this sub
stance having been an industry Of some
Importance in Canada and In Hungary.
But about generation ago it was dis
covered that large beds of potash salts
overlie the rock salt beds at Stassfurt,
In Prussia, and in certain adjoining
regions of Saxony. An important In
dustry In the production Of "Stassfurt
salts" soon developed in this region
and the worlds supply OF potash, for
agricultural az for other commercial
purposes has of late years been very
largely drawn from this source. But
now an attempt ID being made to util-
lie the abundant supply Of potash that
lies locked In the kind Of feldspar
known as orthoclase, which il a promi-
inent constituent Of many common
forms of granite. All that is necessary
is to grind the granite to powder,
and the newer types Of rock-crushing
machines make this commercially feas-
ible. Man thus accomplished In few
hours a task for which the weathering
process Of nature would require some
thousands Of years.
This method Of producing potash Is
still In the experimental stage. Should
it prove successful the New England
farmer Of the near future may be able
to turn to account the granite powders

ESCAPED FROM ASYLUM.
Insane Man Walks All Way From
Medical Lake 10 North Yakima.

C. r. Rock, who was committed
to the Medical Lake asylum on April
3, made his escape from that institu-
tion IL days ago and accomplished
the somewhat difficult feat for a man
in his condition, of walking all the
way home from Medical Lake to this
city, says a Yakima paper. He had
no money and must have procured
food from the ranchers along the
road.
Rock reached his home in this city
yesterday and is in a very insane con-
dition. He is being looked after by
his friends pending the arrival Of an
attendant from the state institution
to take him back
1t Is not known here how the man
escaped, but no notification of his
having got away was sent here, al
though the asylum authorities might
have guessed that he would make for
his old home and must have known
that he was in no condition to be at
large.

AVOIDS LITIGATION.
Attempts to Settle Rival Claims of
Indians and Ahtanum Ranchers.

The disputed rights to the use of
the Ahtanum creek as between the
white ranchers Of the Ahtanum val
Icy and the Indians Of the Yakima
reservation may be settled without
litigation, the interior department
having authorized Major Jay Lynch,
superintendent of the reservation, to
make an offer to the ranchers
through their attorneys in this city,
says the Yakima Republic.
The offer of the department is that
the ranchers be allotted two-thirds
Of the water in the creek and the In
dams the remaining third. Fred
Parker, ]. H. Lynch, Vestal Snyder
and other attorneys have received
notification of the offer, but have
not yet had sufficient time to con-
slider the proposition to care to ex-
press an opinion for publication.
Their remarks, however. indicate
that there is likely to be difference
Of opinion in regard to advisability
Of accepting the offer of the govern
ment.
The matter of the rival claims to
the water of the Ahtanum creek for
irrigation purposes was discussed
with Secretary OF the Interior Gar
field on the occasion Of his visit here
and trip to the Ahtanum valley. Suits
were pending against the ranchers
by the government TO protect the
rights of the Indians.
1t Is understood that the govern
ment is anxious to avoid tedious liti-
cation over the matter and in maxi
ing this offer has conceded more to
the ranchers than It thinks could be
obtained from the courts. This, how
ever, is not the opinion Of some of
the attorneys interested in the mat
ter, although they also wish to avoid
litigation.

HELP FOR EX-CONvICTS.
Societies Working for the Relief OF
Those Discharged from Prisons.

In 1890, the last year for which
figures are Immediately available,
there were 62,329 prisoners behind
the bars in the United States, accord
ing to the federal census of that
year.
From a statement made before the
recent session of the national prison
association at Chicago it appears that
last year the associations committee
on discharged prisoners found some
2S societies operating throughout the
country for the aid of discharged
convicts. Nine of these societies had
been established since 1900 and are
carrying on their work in some 16
states of the Mississippi valley and
farther west. The committee then
estimated that over 5000 men had
been helped during the previous year
by all societies of the United States
and Canada.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-11-12

The lax enforcement Of the gam
bling la%s of the state and the dead
ened sentiment which prevails in
many parts of the state have led to
an influx of criminals which is at
tracing the serious attention Of the
state officers, says the Wyoming Tri-
bune.
It is stated upon good authority,
that the county attorneys and pos
sibly the sheriffs OF the counties of
the state will be invited to come to
the capitol and place before the gov
ernor and attorney general the state
90 affairs In their counties.
The invitation will be unofficial,
but will be for the purpose of ascer-
mcnt Of the county officers and their
constituents on the gambling ques-
tion and explanations as to why con-
ditions in various localities are per-
mitted to continue.
This action will be taken not for
moral or political reasons, but to
protect the citizens of the state
against the element which is being
forced out of Nebraska, Dakota,
Montana and Colorado by the anti
gambling sentiment and the enforce
ment of anti-gambling laws in those
states.
That these men are criminals is
the primary reason for the proposed
action not merely that they are gam
bleis. Crimes in various parts of the
state have been laid at their door
and the need of general houseclean-
ing is apparent.
