THE OUOERNRK CASE

While We think the public has
had enough Of the Ouderkirk ex-
tortion case, we cannot pass by the
charge Of the Free Press that we
uphold public officer in the use Of
abusive language. The charge is
utterly false and the mao who
wrote it deliberately misstated our
position. In Thursd US issue we
said that in DR.. Morrison's evidence
we saw very little to cause Con-
stable Ouderkirk to lose his temper
and less to justify the charge Of
extortion brought against him by
DR.. Morrison" No one who
understands the English language
can honestly corstrue the words
quoted as upholding Constable
Ouderkirk in his conduct. toward
Dr.. Morrison.
1t is we'll known fact that the
Free Press has had it Gin" for Mr..
Ouderkirk for long time and
never misses an opportunity to
censure him whether he deserves it
or not. We hive no defense to
make for Constable Ouderkirk in
this matter. He made his defense
in court and won ont. If the
result Does not suit Mr.. Steninger,
he is at liberty to kick. but he
should confine himself to the truth
so far as we are concerned.

BIGGEST PHOSPHATE BODY
IN THE WORLD

The largest known phosphate
field in the world lies in the Rocky
Mountain region in the States If
Idaho, Montana, Utah and Wyo-
ming, and most of the deposits be-
long to the United states, being on
public lard. Phosphate rock, as is
we'll known, in the principal source
Of phosphoI us, one of the three
necessary plant foods. The exact
boundary of this phosphate bearing
area is still undetermined, but
each year as investigation has been
pushed by the United States
Geological Survey it's limits have
been more accurately defined by
extension in others. Phosphate in
this general region was first dis
covered IN northeastern Utah and
southeastern idaho in the vicinity
of the Idaho Utah, Wyoming state
lines. From this locality the
deposits have been traced north,
southeast and west halfway across
the States of Idaho, Utah and
Wyoming, and nort'iward to the
vicinity of Helena, in west-central
Montana until now the phosphate
beds are known over an area ex-
tending approximately 220 miles in
an east-west direction and 42O.
miles from north to south. Only a
small part Of this territory, of
course, is underlain by phosphate
deposits that are commercially
valuable. In many places the
phosphate beds although present,
occur at such or at depths below
the surface that they will probably
never be mined; and in other parts
of this completely folded area the
phosphate beds have been entirely
removed by erosion. However, the
tonnage of high-gtade phosphate
rock in this region is enormous,
the estimates running up into the
billions Of tons.
The rock phosphate itself can
usually be recognized in the field
by its oolitic texture thai is, by the
face that it is q mass IF grains like
small shot cemented together.
The rock varies in color from
coaly black-.in some places was
originally mistaken for coal-to
dull gray or iron stained. Most of
the phosphate rock emits, when
broken or struck, a fetid odor,
which is supposed to be charact-
eristic Of these minerals. Its
float" is Of blueish-white bonelike
coating, resembling chalcedony.
This coating is useful in tracing
the concealed outcrop in the fields
