A democrat in republican county-he has been repeatedly elected As distric' attorney he has served the people ably and, particularly during hit second term, set an example fo, fairness, industry and good judg- ment as an official. which we trus, others in public office, in futur. years in the county, will follow He was signally put to the test i, the great fight in this county be- tween the people and the railroad d and he resisted railroad influenc, and stood squarely for the people As district attorney. he has beer one of the leading attorneys fo, the county in the famous lawsuit brought to compel the Grand Can yon Railroad company to pay its just proportion of taxes. which cas, will go to the supreme court of the Limited States, and with hi. characteristic boldness, refused the demand of the railroad company to bring mandamus proceedings against Ralph Cameron. to oust Cameron from the Bright Angel trail which Cameron built.
 In the prosecution of crimin cases he has been. as is highh proper, fair toward the accused and has been so we'll prepared in hi, cases that he has frequently draw, favora ble comment from leading attorneys of the territory. He re- tires from the district attorneys office vastly more popular than when he entered it, and this popu- larity has been caused bv his meth od of performing public business in practical manner and with a spirit of justice toward all Quietly. patiently and good naturedly h. has performed valuabl services to the county and is type of our western young men who, by pluck hard work and sheer energy are forcing themselves to the front.

ATMOSPHERIC NITROGEN AND ITS
FIXATION BY ELECTRICAL METHODS.
horticultural NeUs, MAY 2nd.)

(Agrtcu1tura1 NeaOs. May 9nd)
The question of how to provide a %continu-
Gus and available supply OF nitrogen to
growing crops at the least cost is discussed
In an article, The Present Status of the
Nitrogen Problem that appears in the latest
issue (19O6) of the Yearbook of the United
States Department of Agriculture. The
writer concl, des that in the case Of the
greater proportion of the available land of
the world this question will become a pro-
blem of bacteriology, with the soil as a Gull
ture medium. But while much can be &C.
complished through the agency of soil
bacteria in conserving and increasing the
supply of combined nitrogen, it is obvious
there will always be a demand for an imme-
diately available supply of ~nitrates, or other
form in which nitrogen can be supplied for
the Use of growing crops. Since the Chile

deposits of nitrate OF soda, which ZOE yeats
mast have formed the chief source OF supply
Of this valuable heterogeneous manure; must
adoner or later be exhausted, it IL satlsfRc-
tory To note that considerable progress has
hasn made of late years in electrical process
"a designed to effect the 6xation. of atmos-
pheric nitrogen in a suitable form, so as to
make it available for manurial purposes:
The following mention of these processes IL
made in the article in question -
It has long been known that atmospheric
nitrogen can be oxidized under the influence
of electricity. producing nitric oxide fumes.
which are then combined with water to
form nitric acid, or with quickiime. f0rmitiS
calcium nitrate. Other bases may also DO
used. Various attempts have been msde
from time to time to develop q process by
which nitrogen can be combined commercial
". The most promising results have thus
far been secured with Francis process Of
making calcium cyananide and with the
Kirkland and Eyde process of producing
~nitrates. The former process consists in
combining nitrogen with the carbides of
alkalis, producing cyanides, or, in the case
of calcium, producing ca'cium cyanamide,
containing IS per cent. of nitrogen-mors
than twice the amount present in nitrate of
soda. The calcium ~cyananide, when pro-
perly used, has proved to be an excellent
heterogeneous fertilizer for many crops. and
quites equal to ammonia compounds. into
which it can be readily converted. The
ammoni thus produced can ba oxidized by
conducting it over highly heated metallic
oxides, producing nitric acid.
The Kirkland and Eyde proc AS. however,
appears to be the most promising as a means
Of producing NTH ates. A special electric
furnace is used, in which an alternating
electric arc of between 3 5000 an 1000 volts
is produced in connexion with o large electro
magnet, which forces it to take the form OF
a roaring disc of flame. Air is forced
through this furnace at the rate Of about
5000 cubic feet per minute, the nitrogen
being oxidized in the furnace to nitric oxide.
These fumes are then collected. and after
further oxidation are absorbed in water
towers, forming nitric acid, or by powdered
quicklime, forming calcium nitrate. or
course, the nitric acid can bo combined wish
almost any desirable base, such as soda or
potash.
These direct processes of securing nitro
gen will certainly be rapidly improved, and
what has been accomplished already In this
direction should remove the last vestige OF
doubt that we shall be able to secure at d
reasonable cost all of the Immediately availa-
BILE nitrogen we may need, in addition to the
great supply that may be secured through
bacterial action.
