CHEMICAL COMPANY
BUYS LARGE TRACT
Will Start to Erect Big Plant
in Contra Costa County
This Month

A deal was completed yesterday by
which big chemical company acquired
80 acres in Contra Costa county be-
tween Bay Point and Antioch for a
large manufacturing plant. The pur-
chase was made in the interest of par
ties connected with the General chemi-
cal company, s25.OO0.0O0 corporation,
with plants in Canada, Pennsylvania,
Maryland and New York. Work on the
80 days.
Although the transaction follows
closely upon the purchase of tract
in the same vicinity for big powder
plant, it is stated that the two con-
Germs are in no way related. The land
was sold by the Morton company. The
law firm of Pillsbury, Madison &c Sutro
acted for the chemical company.
The chemical corporation is said to
be in control of the basic patents of
the Badische company of Germany for
the manufacture of sulphuric acid by
the contact or catalytic method. 1t
is announced that the concern will
produce fuming acids of unusual
purity. A ready market ewill be found
among the oil ref1ners and the manu-
facturers OF powder and other explo-
sives. A large number of men will be
employed at the plant.
This will be big enterprise said
Alfred Sutro last night, ''and work will
be commenced before another month
has passed l am not at liberty to
give the names of the parties involved
but they are connected with the Gen.
eral chemical company"
The General chemical company is
controlled by a powerful group OF
fnanciers. William H. Nichols is the
president, and the list OF directors in

ASK FOR ARMORY
: - ON THE STATE SITE
Commercial Bodies Unite in Re-
quest to Governor for Fund


o. The executive bodies of the various
commercial and civic organizations of
San Francisco unanimously indorsed
the: suggestion Of Governor GiIlett in
the matter Of providing for the erection
OF an. armory on the state building site
IN this city at a meeting held in the
rooms OF the chamber OF commerce
Tuesday afternoon.
The meeting was called by the mem
beTs Of the armory committee, who
have been working on the project for
the last few months. The question as
70 whether q state building or an
armery was preferable was fairly put
TO those in attendance by George c.
Boardman Jr. and s G. Buckbee.
Said Boardman: I'VE must consider
that in case Of a war there are not
sufficient men TO man the ordnance at
the Presidio.H'
Buckbee spoke in the same strain.
He said that he felt that the state
officers now located in San Francisco
could wait a while for a building Of
their own, and that in order to secure
a militia the city must first provide
quarters for il. A w. Scott, General
Roster, 7. c. Friedlander James Nc
Nab, James Rolph Jr. and Andrew NJ
Davis all spoke in fagor Of the armory,
and as a result q resolution asking the
governor that an armory building be
substituted on the state building site
for the state building was unanimously
passed.
A standing committee was authorized
to draft a resolution requesting the
governor 70 divert the fund of S42S, 600

PRESIDENT ADDS
LAND TO RESERVES
Proclamation Aeffcts Thousands
of Acres i'm California

President Theodore Roosevelt in one
of his last official acts of Importance
has placed powerful emphasis upon
the national forest reserve policy that
has marked the last four years by
adding to the California national for
ests vast amount of tinbered land
This land which is situated in various
partsi of the state had previously been
withdrawn from entry. but the presi-
Dental proclamation making Il part
of the forest reserves was not issued
until March 2, two days before the in
auguration Of William II. Taft.
1t is believed in forestry circles that
the postponement of this act to March
is significant
The information was given out yes
terday at the local forestry bureau
having been communicated to District
Forester Olmsted in a telegram from
Washington.
LOCATION OF LANDS
The definite location of the added
lands Is not known yet here. but ii
covers several hundred thousand acres
and is generally situated as follows:
Lassen, on the southwest. mainly in
Tehama county; Mono. on the north
and east, in Alpine and Mono counties;
Plumas. on the west and south. mainly
in Butte county, Shasta, on the north
and east, in Siskiyou county; Sequoia
on the south, in Kern and Tulare coun-
ties Gncluding a part of the Tule
Indian reservation); Tahoe. on the
south and northeast. mainly in El
Dorado and Sierra counties and Trim
ity, mainly on the south and west, in
Trinity and Humboldt counties Gn-
cluding a portion of the Hoopa Indian
reservation).
POWER IN FOUR STATES
A bill introduced by Senator Hey
burn of Idaho was passed in congress
recently providing that the president
shall create no new forest reserves OF
add to previously existing reserves
without the consent of the senate ex-
cepting In California, Nevada, Arizona
and New Mexico. The California dele
CATION fought hard and is still fight
ing to have the restrictions against the
president extended to include this state
1t is believed at the local forestry bu-
reau that the California delegation will
win it's fight at the next session, but
President Roosevelt's action would
make such fight aimless since the
lands added Tuesday include almost
every piece of timbered land In the
state that could have been added to q
forest reserve.
The act of Tuesday affects 1880, 73f
acres, bringing the total national for
estry acreage up to 195. .013,9S0

Woman Willing to Be Friendly
Again When Husband Says
First Word

William C. ordway. well known on
the water front as a public weigher.
and his wife, Matilda, walked into
Judge Graham's court yesterday with
bitterness in their hearts. Although
they were married nearly 25 years ago
and have grown up children. they had
been estranged for more than six
months.
Ordway had been paying his wife SIS
a month under an order of court Mrs.
Ordway thought he should pay more.
After the Judge had heard her story
and that of her husband. he called them
both up to the bench, advised them to
forget past differences and live to-
gether once more.
I'm quite willing" said Ordway.
$50 am If Mr.. Ordway will say the
first word responded his wife.
We'll. he has said it, hasn't heg"
asked the Judge.
Mrs. Ordway admitted he had, and
after a little more talk the couple went
away accompanied by their son. Ches-
ter, and Judge Graham's tally of
reconciliations went up one.
HUSBAND REPEATS GOSSIP

trouble between Nellie Bledsoe and
Samuel Bledsoe. both of whom sought
a divorce in Judge Graham's court yes
terday. Bledsoe said that his wife left
him for the sake of Markley and the
automobile. Before her departure she
spent a great part of her time in the
machine. said B1edsoe, and when he
returned home at night he found the
bread on the doorstep-if the dogs had
not taken 1t. Bledsoe testified also that
it was common gossip in the neigh
borhood that his wife had left him for
Markley. whoSis a building contractor.
Mrs. Bledsoe told the court that her
husband frequently got drunk and beat
her. forcing her to leave home. Mr.
and Mrs. Markley had kindly cared
for her ever since, she said. Judge
Graham took the case under submis-
sion.
