Practically every merchant
in this town spends some
money for lighting his store
front. 1t is worth While TO
do this in such q way as to
get real benefit from it.
One of the mistakes often
est made is not to put in
enough candle power to
really illuminate. If the
goods on display are not
lighted so as to appear dis
tinctIy. and display their
attractiveness as in day
light, the window lighting
is failing to do what you
are paying for.
A small addition to your window illumi-
nation is not expensive, and may make
the difference between profitable and

ity. If the facts are as they appear
from the report, then the United
States has even more of task upon
it's hands to protect it's great canal
from the vicious destroyers than it
has to protect it's military and naval
secrets from spies.
There can be no question but that
all the forces of unrest have been
made active through the forging ahead
of the United States, especially in re-
lation to the Panama canal. World
wide jealousies have been created,
and the dissemination of spies
throughout the country and it's out

from the facts that have been dis
closed. These conditions must be
met as they arise. But the existence
of organized anarchy for the sake of

ANARCHISTS IN CANAL ZONE.

Highly sensational is the news from
the Canal Zone that one Lopez, a
Barcelona anarchist, charged with
having been implicated in the an
archist raid upon nunneries and 9th
er ecclesiastical institutions of Spain
two years ago, has been arrested and
has confessed to being an anarchist
charged with dynamiting the canal
works. From the braggadocio decla-
ration of the Barcelona member of
the reds there is systematic plot on
foot among anarchists through the
Spanish working forces on the canal
to utterly destroy the great work
and thus to place bar in the path
of one of the geatest> steps of human
progress.
The man is said to be a disciple of

INVESTIGATING POTASH.

An Investigation into possible
sources of potash salts in the United
States is being made this year by
the United States Geological Survey
under an appropriation by congress
of $4,000 for the current year.
One of the possible sources from
which potash may be derived is III
association with saline deposits left
by the drying up of large bodies of
salty waters, such as are known to
have existed at one time in many of
the now desert areas OF southwestern
Oregon, Nevada, southeast California.
in Utah, and elsewhere. 1t is hoped
that by testing these saline deposits
some may be found sufficiently rich
in potash to have a commercial value.
and that there may even be located
some large and important deposits.
AS a part of this work the survey
VII Don fit up a temporary labora-
tory at FallOn, New. for the purpose
of testing samples OF salines from
the Great Basin or desert areas
Samples of such alkaline salts will
be tested at his laboratory free of
charge if a definite statement of the
locality from which they were OBJ
tanned be sent with the samples The
location should be given by section.
township, and range, if possible, 9th
erwiSe by distance and direction from
the nearest postoffice or settlement.
Samples should be addressed to HOyt
s. Gale, United States GeOoialgcl Sur
vey, Fallon, New. Upon receipt of a
request small sample sacks for send
ing the material by mail will be for
warded from the above address.
If so requested at the time that a
sample is submitted for test, the ac-
companying information concerning
the locality of the deposit will be
treated as confidential: and the evil
dence thus obtained is not to be used
for the purpose of making land
Withdrawals.
