ARTIFICIAL FERTll-
lZER POSSIBILITIES

Vice Consul Ernest Vollmer submits
the following report from Tsingtau on
the opening presented in China for the
sale of fertilizers;
The rich alluVial soils of Shantung
and other Chinese provinces have been
worked for so many generations now
that the time when artificial fertilizers
must be used in order to obtain good
crops is rapidly approaching. Unlike
most places having similar SOIL com
position, China could postpone this era

of the provinces of shantung north and
from the Desert of Cobb eastward to
the ocean are subject to terrific sand
and dust storms. The statement is made
that around tombs and other places
where the soil Is not disturbed the an
tinctly traced for ages, LAYERS OF an
eighth of an inch being the minimum
for any season. Thus the soil is en-
riched by Hoods in one part of the coun-
try and by sand storms in other parts,
the latter being very much less Ell

tanning the producing qualities of his
land. the Chinese farmer uses every
means at his disposal to enrich his
acres. A regular rotation of crops is in
vogue, and every second or third year
the land is summer fallowed and allow
ed to remain unused. Manure of all
sorts is gathered and carefully distrib-
uted, and artificial fertilizers are coming
into use The greatest loss of strength
to the soil probably comes from the
fact that all vegetable matter is gath
cred and used for fuel, so that what the
ground has once given up TO plant life
is lost TO II forever.
European firms have made attempts to
introduce chemical fertilizers into this
district Their efforts can not be des-
cribed as successful. The plan adopted
was to sell the ingredients to the ma
tiNes, tell them In what proportions they
were to be mixed, and In what quaunti-
various kinds of soil. The main diff
fculty OF the plan was that of securing
proper mixing of the ingredients by the
Chinese farmer. The chemical COM

as drouth set in. As Shantung is
likely to have dry spells and rain As

NEWTON BECOMES ANGRY.
Judge Whitaker Drops Remark That

Atty. William Newton was an angry
man this morning. a few days ago a
woman OF the town named Lulu Will
llams. colored. was arrested for va
grancy She was placed under $50
bonds. furnished, 1t and was released
II Is said there was an understanding
that the woman would leave town at
once, but she did not do so, and last
evening was UP to her old tricks OF ac-
costing people on the streets.
Atty. Newton represented the woman
and made a motion before Judge Whit
aker this morning to have the woman
released on her own recognlzance, but
the court would not listen TO any such
proposition. Judge Whitaker stated
that Chief Pitt had spoken to him
about the woman and he did not pro-
pose to let her so.
Then Atty. Newton's ire was aroused
With flashing eyes and shaking hands
he addressed the court:
THE chief of police has no business
TO speak to the court about this or any
other case. The court Is supposed to
listen TO evidence as offered In court
in the proper manner and not to some
policeman or chief of police. The fact
of the matter Is that the woman was
put under bonds to insure her appear
ance in court this morning. The bail
was furnished and the woman is here.
She was arrested not because there
was any fear she would not be here,
but because she was here. She was
ordered to leave the city but the chief
of police or, no other person has any
authority TO order her OF any other
person TO leave the city. SHE has as
much right here as anyone else"
Judge Whitaker paid little heed. how
ever, to the remarks OF the angry at
torney and placed the woman under
bonds in the sum of $3.50. The case will
be called for hearing tomorrow morn
ing.

CONDEMN SITE
Proceedings to Be Instituted to
Force Sale of Land Adjoin-
ing the PoStoffice.
GOVERNMENT DESIRES 30 TT.
Owners on Market Street, However,
Believe in Getting Their Price
Before Transfer Is Made.

Proceedings for the condemnation Of
building in Salt Lake City according
to a dispatch from Washington, will
be commenced soon in the federal
courts. This action Is deemed naces-
sary by the secretary of the treasury,
who has requested the attorney general
to institute condemnation proceedings
against the property, for the reason
that the price is held too high by the
owners of the site. The realty in ques-
tion is controlled by the Miner Building
company, and extends southwark from
Market street, just west of the federal
building, l25 feet At this point it
meets property owned by j h. Walker
and Mrs. Julia A. Swenson, of which
the government desires 40 feet to COM
plete the site for the addition to the
federal building according to the plans
made out for the building.
Congress st winter appropriated
$4,000 for the erection of an addition
to the federal building at salt Lake
City, and of this amount $4,000 was
designated for the purchase of site
for the addition. The only site avail
able for the addition was the property
west of the present building on Market
street, and when it became definitely
known that the property was wanted, 1t
is claimed by the local federal officials
that the owners of the tract boosted the
prices to a point which the government
could not reach with the money at
hand. The sum of $4,000 was asked
for the tract, 165 feet deep from Market
street southwark. with a 40-foot front
age on Market. Federal officials esti-
mate the value of the property az $685.,
900 to $50, 600, but with the sum in hand
to pay for the site, ii Is said an equit-
able division would give the Miner
company 100000 for its holdings and
