FERTILIZER FROM THE AIR.
First Plant in the United States to
Obtain Nitrogen From the Air.

No longer will this country have
to send abroad for its nitrogenous
fertilizer, since the first electric
plant for its manufacture direct
from the air has been put in opera
ton at Nitrolee, South Carolina.
The Southern Power Company has
harnessed the Catawba and Broad
rivers and the surplus electrical en-
ergy derived from the falling waters
will be used to make fertilizer. The
nitrogen is secured from the air by
the aid of high voltage electric cur
rents. This is of the greatest i'm
portance to agriculturists as the de-
mand for nitric acid and nitrate of
lime is now far in advance of the
supply, the bulk of this material
coming from the saltpetre beds in
Chill.
The nitro problem, one of the most
pressing of the twentieth century, is
unique from the fact that the ma
terial is unlimited, the atmospheric
nitrogen above one square mile of
land amounting to about 22,OOO,OOO
tons, is equivalent to what the world
would require in the next so years
at the present rate of consumption.
The problem is to utilize this nitro
gen economically, and thus free the
world from its dependence on the
nitrate deposits of Chilli, which are
not extensive and are likely to be ex-
hausted at comparatively early
date.

PROMOTER SAYS GUILTY

Whorter, one of the three defend
ants in the Columbia Orchards Com
pany, set for trial next Thursday in

proposition for orchards, then un-
loaded it at fancy prices.

Secretary of State Marries.

Ben w. Olcott, secretary of state,
became the husband of Miss Lena
Hutton at noon Christmas at the
home of Governor West. Simultan-
eously with Mr.. Olcott becoming a
benedict he also became the brother
in-law of the states chief executive,
the bride being a sister of Mrs. Os-
wald West.
If secrecy spells romance, there
was romance for a dozen volumes in
the wedding of Christmas day Only
immediate members of the family
were present and news of the we'd
ding came as a sudden surprise to
Salem social circles.
The romance which resulted in the
marriage has been one of long dura-
ton. Secretary Olcott, who was born
in Keithsburg, ILL.,, came to Oregon
in 1891. Arriving in Salem. he be-
came acquainted with Oswald West,
now governor, and acquaintanceship
developed into Damon and Pythias
friendship.

BLACKBIRDS STOP CARS.
Flock on Trolley Wire Causes Short
Circuit at Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Dec. 25.-Blackbird
stopped every one of the cars of the
Los Angeles railroad for 81 minutes
this morning and delayed thousands
of passengers on their way to church.
The birds in countless numbers
took possession OF the main power
transmission lines at the edge of the
city, crowded so densely that the liv-
ing mass formed a circuit and tens
of thousands were electrocuted AS
fast as they dropped, other thou
sands took their places, and thus the
great flock, the like of which had
never been seen here, kept all the
power from the trolley system.
Finally when the ground was COW
cred with smoking birds those above
suddenly seemed to realize their dan
ger and swept away in black cloud,
hundreds more falling from the wire
contact. Then the cars ran on as

HILLS GENEROSITY.
Railroad Magnate VIII Educate
Crippled Boy.

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 27.-To
spend his Christmas in ST. Paul at
the expense of James J. Hill, the
railroad magnate, Walter De Barrow
a 17-year-old wanderer who lost both
legs in an accident on a Hill line
recently, went to the Minnesota cap
ital. After the accident the boy went
to the poor farm, where he wrote
letter to Mr.. Hill, absolving the road
of blame, and asking for a position
of some sort. The letter elected a
reply that Mr.. Hill would not only
give De Barrow q job, but would
supply him with artificial limbs,
clothing, money and an education, if
he desired it. The youth made the
journey to st. Paul in company with
a representative of the railroad mag
nate, travelling in a Pullman. Al
though he has been an orphan and
wanderer for many years, De Bar
row speaks four languages.
