PLENTY OF NITROGEN LeFr.

Supply From the AtmespAere Atens
Practically insxhaustlbse.
1t has been estimated that IN France
alone the amount of nitrogen yearly
taken from the soil is 100000 tons,
and not much more than one-ha1 Of
this is returned to the soil in stable
manure. Let It be assumed, Tor the
purpose Of argument, that these coun-
tries employing heterogeneous fertil-
tiers use during each year 100000
tons of nitrogen.
This seems to be fairly liberal es-
innate judging from the above figure
regarding France, and the fact that
Turing 1905 100000 tons Of nitrate
IF soda were employed throughout the
world. On this basis it is easily seen
that there is no danger of impover.
'shing the atmosphere, for the atmos-
pheric pressure at sea level CORE
spends to about eleven pounds of nj
trogen square inch, or say 1900
pounds a square foot, or 10000, 900
tons a square mile.
Each square mile of the earth's sur
face has above it enough nitrogen to
supply the entire world for five years
IN the basis assumed above and since
the entire surface of the earth is NOT
much short Of 2O0,0O0,0OO square miles
the world can go on abstracting nitro
gen at this rate for about 1000, 900
years before reducing the quantity in
the atmosphere one-tenth per cent.

sion of the prohibition question can he
put before the people, as well as any
other issue. AN effort was made at
the last moment in the house to pass
the plain senate referendum bill,
which eliminated the constitutional
questions, but it failed.
After killing the senate bills Great
ing the Ninth and Tenth judicial dis
tricts. the house passed the bills
through the herculean work of Sena-
tor Simpson.
The anti.pass bill went glimmering
on failure of the conference committee
to agree, and the members are pretty
we'll satisfied all round. They have
with one accord agreed there was no
real cry for the measure. anyway.
An apportionment bill was finally
agreed upon in conference and passed
both houses. It makes forty.seven
senators and ninety.five house mem
bers. The great increase in the senate
comes from the western part Of the
state. The only change made in the
Red river valley is taking one district
away from Trail county.
The oil inspection bill was finally
returned to the senate after repeated
demands, although both houses had
passed 1t. and as punishment for the
ruftling Of senatorial dignity the pres.
ident Of the senate forgot to sign it be-
fore adjournment and thus it died.
The senate insisted there was a
Standard Oil woodchuck in it and the
house claimed it was all right. and as
a result the new oil inspector is left
without deputies and needed appara'
tus to conduct his business.
The house passed the following sen
ate bills: Providing for commits

RELIEF TO AomEsTEApERs.

President Roosevelt Again Modifies
Land Patent Order.
An additional modification of the re
cent order issued from the White
House positively prohibiting the issu
ance of patents for public lands pend
ing investigations of alleged fraud has
been made by President Roosevelt,
under which communication proofs are
excluded from the rigors of the orr
ginal order.
A few days ago President Roosevelt
gave some relief to the homestead en-
trymen by modifying his order so
that five-year homestead settlers
would be able to obtain their patents.
Senator McCumber Of North Dakota
was caller at the White House to-
day to discuss the situation with the
president, and he was informed by
President Roosevelt that the order
will be further modified at once to
permit the granting of patents to COW

They are estimated to be about 20,

have been withheld under President
Roosevelt's original order.
Senator McCumber said to-day that
in one land Office district in North
Dakota the patents of entries to the
number of 1900 have been held up.
He believes that more than 5000 en-.
trymen in North Dakota will be re.

agreed upon by President Roosevelt
and the department officials. The en-.
trymen now will be able to obtain
money to make improvements.
