SCIENTIST SAYS COLORADO
WILL PRODUCE ALL RADIUM

DENVER, May 16.-That the ra-
dium markets Of the world will ul-
timately depend upon Denver, Colo,
for their supply Of the most precious
metal in existence, was the declara-
tion made here today by Rev. A W..
Forstall, S. j., who occupies the chair
of chemistry a: the Sacred Heart col
lege, and one of the most prominent
American scientists who have special
lied in the study of radium. 1t is
the belief of Rev. Forstall that the
so-called radium fields at Montrose,
San Miguel and other southwestern
Colorado counties hold untold wealth
in radium. The great question, said
Father Forstall today, is to devise
some method of extracting the metal
and preparing it for market at 100
per cent les soutlay than is now nee
essary. He believes he has solved
this problem and shortly will publish
full details of his proposed plan.
The Jesuit priest has worked for
years in his little laboratory out in
the college buildings. There is some
thing of the ancient alchemist IN his
appearance and all of the enthusiasm
of one in his keen eyes. He believes
that upon reduced carnotite the world
will depend fer its radium supply.
Carnotite is lower in radium contant
than pitchblend, from which nearly
all the radum supply is secured to-
day, but the carnotite is more easily
reduced and much more plentiful.
Pitchblend is found in exceedingly
small quantities in Europe, mostly IN
Austria. Carnotite is found in COM
parative abundance in southwestern
Colorado.
Heretofore almost prohibitive rates
have been paid to ship great masses
of carnotite to Europe to have the
radium extracted. Father Forstall
believes he has the right plan to ex-
tract the radioactive sulphatcs from
the carnotite before the stuff is sent
to be relieved Of its precious radium.
81 cannot give out anything now"
said Father Forstall today, "but |
hope soon to have the correct solu-
ton. | know | am on the right track,
for dozens of experiments I have
made in the past year have turned
out successfully. ] am naturally COM
PEELED to experiment with very small
portions of the ores in which radio
active sulphates are found, and of
course this makes it absolutely nee
essary to make many more expert
ments and then work out general
average"

GERMANY TO RE0RGANIZE
HER DIPLOMATIC SERVICE

BERLIN, May 1i.-Germany will
reform and reorganize its diplomatic
service, according to an official an
nouncement made here today. As a
result of debate upon the subject
in the Reichstag recently, in which it
was charged that the diplomatic serv-
ice is composed of mobiles and rich
men only it is proposed to make it
possible for capable men of small
means tc enter the service. To this
end considerable increase in salaries
will be made. During the course
Of the debate which resulted in the
proposed changes, it was mentioned
that tie United States had practically
decided to make similar changes in
the diplomatic service of that coun-
try.

There's deluge of grief in Du-
range today, occasioned by the use of
liquids in various forms.
Up in the police court, plain
drunk was fined $40 and costs, for
temporarily forgetting that it was not
considered good behavior to imbibe
too freely in joy water in our town,
since the commissioners are mt the
municipal helm. A vagrant was ar
rested and brought before his honor,
Justice Wilson, and also fined. His
trouble probably dates back to an
excess Of liquid refreshments. Four
prominent Durango citizens, DR.. Och
sner, Frank Eldredge, b. f. Hooker
and Mrs. -, well known teacher,
were cited to appear before the court
and pay fines for irrigating out Of or
dinance hours. At last account the
doctor had enriched the city treasury
to the desired amount and the others
were on the way to part with their
coin. More liquid grief.
About twenty residents of Content
whats in name) were in district
court today attempting to get irri-
CATION troubles legally settled. From
the warmth of feeling shown by some
of the number, you would not have
believed that cold water had OCCASION
ed the controversy.
District Attorney Lane and Sheriff
Fassbnder, we understand, have
batch Of troubles scheduled for Judge
McCloud's court late this afternoon,
in the persons Of all who have been
guilty of gambling. Here, too, the
liquid troubles seem not far removed.
Surely Durango and La Plata coun-
ty will have to remain as dry as our
streets, If law, order and harmonious
relations are to prevail.

selling at 20 cents per pound whole
sale, making the daily average Of the
COW amount to 40 cents. Mr.. Palmer
is quite conservative, and figures only
twenty-six milking days to month.
giving the cows product in cheese n
value of S10.40 per month, or a gross
income of S124.S0 per year. The farm
er allows the factory one-fourth of
the cheese to cover expense Of opera
ton and to allow for profit, netting
him per cow per year the sum of
S93.60
A farmer with a small herd of dairy
cows could realize a steady income by
patronizing the cheese factory, and
will find that selling his hay in this
manner is much more profitable than
disposing of it by the ton.
One of the features about the cheese
is that, once made, it can be stored
indefinitely, though there is no doubt
but that ready market will be found
for the output OF the cheese factory.
Mr.. Palmer established cheese
factory at Clark, S. D., which he OPP
Grated for six years, selling out to
parties who are running the plant yet.
He came to Pennington several years
ago and decided to settle on a fruit
ranch. However, he did not stay on
the ranch long ere he engaged in the
ice business, and now has decided to
go back into the cheese making bust
ness if he can secure the proper sup
port from the citizens of Farming
ton and the farmers of the immediate
vicinity.

FARMINGTON TO HAVE NEW
CHEESE FACTORY SOON
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
FARMINGTON, N NJ, May 10
The proposed cheese factory for Farm
ington is assuming practical propor-
tions and bids fair to become reality
within the coming month.
]. S. Palmer, the energetic man who
is behind the plan, is busily engaged
soliciting cows to supply the factory
when completed. He wants from sew
enty-fve to 100 head, all of which
must be within a radius of ten miles,
as milk must be fresh when brought
to the factory.
A portion of the McGaffey building
has been secured for the cheese fac
tory. The local tinsmith is now flg-
uring on the cost of vats and other
fixtures that he will be asked to make
and will present his estimates as soon
as possible. One of the local lumber
men has offered to furnish the neces-
sary lumber for the plant. A can
yass will be made among the business
men of the town for support, as soon
as the necessary cows are secured.
Several of the men of business have
already expressed their willingness to
assist in financing the new enterprise.
The entire cost of the plant will not
amount to much over $700, but it will
be enlarged as soon as the business
becomes established.
The new enterprise means much to
the town of Pennington and surround
ing vicinity as it will keep much OF
the money at home that is now being
sent to New York and Wisconsin for
cheese, and will also bring outside
money into the town.
AS financial boon to the farmer II
cannot be over-estimated. Mr.. Palmer
has figured that one cow can produce
in one year $93.60 worth of cheese
provided she gives only six quarts of
milk per milking, which amount is
far below the average of the most
ordinary milk COW. With two milk
ings per day, the COW would give
twelve quarts. which will produce two
pounds of cheese. Cheese is now

WOMAN MAY NOT TESTIFY

DENVER, May 15.-District Judge
Butler this morning refused to ap-
point commission consisting of three
New York attorneys to take the depo-
sition of Mrs. Isabelle Springer for
use at the second Henwood trial. He
held that he had no authority to do
so. The court did not wait for argu-

marily denying it. The defense imme-
diately filed notice Of appeal.
If Judge Buffers ruling is sustained
it means that Mrs. Springer won't
