held to maximum rate of 30 cents an

the chairmen have been charging since
the middle OF the winter. when one of
the most largely interested parties start

the rates directly in half. They had

people were wheeled about for so cents

is passed. The rate will be so cents and

Loose Lions Are Costly.

Tom Everybody s.
In many parts of the continent lions
have long been extinct. Already we see
signs of this condition in many other
quarters. In 1884, when I visited AL
geria, the killing of lions was still not
uncommon, and l recall hearing the Brit
ish consul in Bona tell OF lion he had
seen asleep in the middle of a dusty
road. AS the consul was armed only
with revolver, he saw fit to retreat
since the lion showed no disposition to
retire from his daytime couch Until
then lions had been a positive nuisance
in the surrounding country; indeed, &C.
cordins to the picturesque account of
Jules Gerard, each lion, during its life
of thirty-five years. had slaughtered cat
tie and levied other tolls to the amount
OF $42, 900.

Primary Law Points

As the time for holding the primary
that will determine who may represent
the electors for the local and legislative
offices approachs, 1t is just as well that
voters should know where they stand.
The law says that each signer of nomi-
nation paper shall sign but one such
paper for each office, giving his occupa-
ton. residence. etc. When it comes to
voting at the primary the voter must
give his name and idress, and anne snce
the name Of the political party for
whose candidates he intends to vote. II
he is challenged on the ground that he
does not belong to the party which is
holding the primary. then the inspector
shall administer an oath to the intend
ing voter requiring him to swear that
he does belong to the party holding the
primary.

WESTERN PHOSPHATE BEDS
Government Discovers Fertilizer in Idaho
and Wyoming of Immense Value

A valuable asset is described in a
bulletin issued ty the Department of
Agriculture and prepared by Professor
w. II. Waggaman. 1t is a scientific
review of the phosphate fields of Idaho,
Utah and Wyoming. which are de-
scribed as zone Of the larges. phosphate
areas at present known in the world. "
At present phosphate mined in the
Idaho Utah region is sent to San Fran
cisco for fertilizer manufacture. The
consumption of fertilizer in California
is Increasing steadily, having grown
from 10000 tons to 35, 900 tons annually
in four years. The marketable product
sells for about $l7 ton.
The region containing the vast bed
of phosphate rock. so far as explored,
comprises portions of northeastern
Utah, southeastern Idaho and south
western Wyoming.
In the opinion Of Professor Wagga-
man there is little prospect that west
ern phosphates will be extensively
mined in the near future.
However, through the growing de-
mand in the West for fertilizer and the
gradual depletion of the more accessible
deposits, the western fields uudoubted'
ly will come more and more into promi'
uence.
