the wonderful opportunity whic
has been placed before the Anna
ramated Copper company:
Although detailed Wor upon
which to base a tonnage estimate
has not yet been done, 1t is APP
parent from the examination made
that in the Garnet range at least a
large amount of phosphate is pres
ent. For instance, $4,000 tons
would be the yield of an acre UNI
derlain by a flat bed of phosphate
four feet thick. Where the phos-
phate bed is steeply tilted the
amount beneath an acre is much
greater.
The phosphate at both Philips
burg and Elliston is near the tracks
of the Northern Pacific railway;
that at Caldwell lies near the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound
and Northern Pacific railways;
and that north of Garrison is read
lily accessible ty two wagon roads,
one going directly north from that
place. the other up the valley of
Warm Spring creek. The latter
route is one that offers no unusual
difficulties for the construction of
a railroad that would, with a haul
Ct about six miles, place the phos-
pirate on the main line of either the
Northern Pacific or the Chicago,
Milwaukee G. Puget Sound railway.
The principal use of phosphate
rock is to fertilize farm lands hat
are deficient in phosphorus, n of
the three essential mineral plant
foods, the other two being potash
and nitrates. The need for it will
become more apparent with the de-
terioration of western grain lands.
There is also the possibility hat
some virgin lands may be deficient
in this material and would be i'm
proved by its application. The rock
phosphate in its inSoluble form is of
no value to the ground. If, how
ever, the crushed rock is treated
with sulphuric acid the chemical
reactions induced produce a ma
terial hat is readily available as
plant food.
That the phosphate beds may.
by thus creating a demand for
sulphuric acid, aid in the solution
of the smelter smoke problem is
suggested by Gale. That great
quantities of sulphurous acids are
daily escaping at Anaconda is a
matter of common knowledge.
Nowhere does this fact appear
more impressive than from a view
point situated on the phosphate
outcrop north of Garrison, from
which the vast column of smoke
pouring out of the smelter stack
thirty-five miles away, at times
clouding the whole Deer Lodge
valley, can be plainly seen.

THE ONE MILL TAX.

Teh Missoulian wishes to emphasize
the necessity which exists for action in
support Of the bill for a one-min tax
for the maintenance of higher eduCa-
ton in Montana. The bill must be
enacted into law if the university is to
prosper. We understand that the gen
oral sentiment in Helena is favorable;
but there is a tremendous amoun Of
business before the legislature and but
a few days in which to transact it.
There must be somebody who will
support this measure before the COM
mittee and keep it before the attention
Of the lawmakers. Missoula will make
a mistake if she fails to take action in
behalf of this measure.

cost about $40. Another device is
added by another orchardist. He has
his oil heaters wired up SO that, by
means of spark plugs, he can light
them all simultaneously.
There are innumerable industries
depending IN frost conditions. Sugar
cane, for instance, reaches it's max
imum yield when allowed to stand to
the point of full maturity. Yet cold
weather often s~upervenes, and the
grower is put to it to devise ways and
means of saving his crop. When the
weather bureau sends out it's warn
ings the cane is cut close to the
ground and placed in long windows.
so that only the cane on top suffers.
Another method is to cut one row over
the next one so that the. leaves of the
n protect the butts of the other.
In shipping fruit in cold weather ice
is put in the refrigerator cars to keep
it from freezing, just as In summer it
is put in to keep the fruit cool.
During the recent frost ir southern
California n large orange grower
saved his 800 acre grove from loss by
employing no less han $500 persons
for three days in keeping his smudse
pots burning. He introduced the novel
method of placing the smudge pots on
standards. nearly as high as the trees
instead of placing them on the ground.
In this way he created a pail of dense
smoke that hung just over the tops Of
his trees. The fruit in this gr)vc
before the frost was worth a quarter
of a million dollars. AS evc-y orange
was saved it is now worth nearly a

ARSON AS A TRADE.

Following the exposures made by
the New York fire department, Col
Tiers Weekly is celebrating the as
founding length 10 which arson as a
business has been carried in the me-
tropul5s. The revelations made in the
two articles which Golfers has pub
lished of a series which is promised,
constitute n terrible arraignment of
the loose methods Of fire insurance in
the great city. The laxity of the in
urance companies has virtually placed
Il premium Upon arson; the destruC-
ton Of property by fire has become
profitable to the incendiaries. The dis
closures furnish an explanation Of the
shocking fire losses in this country,
Much of the blame for these losses
had been placed at the door Of care
l~cSsness: now it appears we must
charge the fearful drain upon our ma
tiunal very largely to the
deliberate operations of an organized
land of firebugs. 1t is an alarming
situation.

FrOStS and Fruit

Bacher mountains, was much troubled
with hailstorms. He decided to drive
the clouds away by the use of ex-
plosives. He established a series of
SIX mortar stations on as many Of the
surrounding mountains, each built of
wood and sheltering ten heavy NOR
tarS, each Of them loaded with a
charge of our and a half ounces of
powder. Hesmanned these stations
with volunteers made up from the
small vineyard owners around him,
ana as soon as a storm came into
sight all hands repaired to their re-
spectiVe posts and fired the mortars
simultaneously until the cloud was
scattered or blown away. The expert
ment is declared to have been a sue
cess.
The greatest damage done by frost
to fruit buds is not, in reality, the
work of the frost itself, but of the
sun the morning after. This is Why

morning after from striking tie buds
while the frost is upon them. Some
OF the early attempts to make smudges
consisted Of heaps of saWdust and
like inflammable materials burnt at
sunrise on frosty mornings. Another
pan was to make steam enough to
cover an orchard like a fog, but that
did not work.
When the lemon grower of Cali
fornia started III to grow lemons they
planted their trees down in the val
leys. The result was that whenever
there was d still, cold, clear morning,
the snoWpreath of the mountain peaks
slipped down into the valleys and nip
ped the bud Then someone thought
that II the groves were planted along
the higher p%lateaus, the cold air would
not be able to stop enroute to the
valleys below and the lemons would
therefore be immune from attack. And
so 1t proved, ana that is why CALI
fornia fruit fares so well.
Another method of preventing dam
6 by frost consists of heating an
orchard one man patented a wire
basket which held some kindling and
coal. These We're used, about 20 tc
the acre. Another invented a briquet
composed of sawdust, oil refinery ref
use, and low grade oil. In California
OIL heaters are used. One type con-
slsts of a sort of bucket affair with q
central draft tube. 1t weighs, with
the covering, less than two pounds
but holds seven quarts OF oil, enough
to burn ten hours. risks
For several years thrilling frost
fights were held by the orchardists OF
Colorado, and at last, in 1908 two men
saved half of their crops by heating
half of their orchards, and lost the
other half. The object-lesson was sc
striking that the growers at Canyon
city appointed an orchard heating
committee, the first in the history of
orcharding. With $1,000 at their dis
posal they made expensive expert
ments in frost damage prevention, and
finally came to the conclusion that
heating with oil was the best pro-
cedure. Now, in some sections, of the
state. every commercial orchard has
its heating or %smudsing equipment.

WASHINGTON,FD ID. G., August H.
Some of the Democrats in California
do not like the idea of a Republican
being named for governor of Hawaii
and are protesting against the CON
firmation of L. E. Pinkham A bundle
of objections came in from San Fran
cisco, while the committee on Pacific
Islands and Porto Rico was awaiting
further mail advices from Honolulu.
These followed the first batch of pro
tests and came in ahead of the sec
end lot from Hawaii.
Those Democrats in San Francisco
who take an interest in the affairs of
Hawaii inveighed against Mr.. Pink
ham on the ground that he is Re
publican and has never rendered any
service whatever in fighting the
battles of Democracy. The basis of
their opposition seems to have been
chiefly that Representative Kent, not
a Democrat, and in any event leaner
toward Republican doctrines, had OBJ
tanned the selection of Mr.. Pinkham.
The main complaint was that the re-
commendation of Mr. Kent in this in
stance had been accepted by a Dem
ocratic president and secretary Of the
interior.
