THE steel industry. for one" he
replied Manganese is Of large inn
portance to this industry, and the
largest supply of ore comes from Rus
STA and other countries with which
commerce is now paralyzed. There
are large deposits in South America
which have not been developed, but
it is not necessary even to go so far
away as that. We have great stores
of manganese in this country which
has been largely untouched because
II is somewhat inferior in quality. To
bring this home supply into use
means merely adoption of methods
for its publication, which are known
and can be successfully used, and
then we can continue making man
ganese steel without regard to foreign
wars or sources of material. There
are other international contributions,
though, in the steel industry. We
have depended largely upon the ISL
and of Ceylon for the graphite used
in the manufacture of the crucibles
in which crucible steel for edge tools
and small firearms Is made. Or to
take another metal, European smell
tiers, using In part Chinese and Mexi,
can ores, have in late years furnished
much of the worlds supply of anti

ture of type metal, and also medicin-
ally. War has paralyzed the produc-

castle), and prices have gone up An.
timony, however, is easily extracted
from many low grade ores which we
have in great quantities in at least
seven states, and there is no reason
why we should not make this ex
traction and be independent of other
countries, both as to supply ant
prices. Similar conditions hold in
| the case of arsenic.
"a large tonnage of ferromanganest
alloys comes from Germany and Eng

years that we have freed ourselves
from Sicily's monopolistic control o

enough in the United States. but TO
such an apparently unimportant prod

this country realize to a greater ex
tent the value of its mineral re.
sources" said Franklin L. Lane. sec
Rotary of the interior.
For the maintenance of agrieul-
ture, we rely more and more largely
upon mineral fertilizers The three
essential plant foods are potash, nitro
gen and PHOSPHORUS, the latter used
generally in the form of phosphates.
We have depended, with the rest of
the world, very largely upon the
mines of Germany for our supply of
potash salts, and war has cut off this
supply, but we have large deposits
OF potash in a California reserve
which can be Immediately opened and
developed If bill now before con-
gress to make these supplies avail
able is enacted. Chile holds a prac-
teal world monopoly of the most
readily available nitrogen in its great
nitrate beds, and not only the manu-
facture of agricultural fertilizers but
also of many kinds of high explo-
sives, have been made dependent
upon the Chilean supply of nitrates.
If this supply should be cut of, new
supply would have to be found or
manufactures and agriculture would
suffer. Fortunately this new supply
is at hand. We can draw nitrogen
from the air and fix 1t with lime by
the use of large and cheap electrical
development, as is done at Niagara
Falls and in Norway and all that is
necessary to pave the way to this
electrical development is the passage
by congress of the Ferris bill now
pending, which will make possible
the utilization of the great unused
water powers of the western states.
THE southern states have for years

pilates. but because of the distribu
ton system, large part of this sup
ply has gone to Europe, and much Of
the phosphates used in the western
states have been imported across the
Pacific. We have some 100000
acres of phosphate lands in the ives
lying near the smelters from which
is produced the sulphuric acid neces
sary to convert these phosphates int
form available for plant food, ant
still there is no law by which thest
phosphate deposits can be made com
mercially available, although a bill
which would allow of their immediat
development has been favorably re
ported by the public lands committe

Right here in Westerly from the level of Wilcox park can be seen, without a turn of the body, six build ings of a public nature, all of ol1- ferent. type of construction, that prob ably cannot be equalled as a whole, III such a limited space, in any place else. There is the Westerly High school building, the oldstyle brick building with granite trimmings, ana next thereto is the Memorial and L- brary building of buff brick with gran ite basement, terra cotta trimmings and red tiled roof. Christ Episcopal church which is built of native blue granite, rockfaced, and in the whole exterior there is not the sign of a tool mark Next is the new town hall and court house Of red Westerly gran ite, rockfaced with cut margin lines, and front of finely dressed granite, with columns of Ionic design, and conceded to be the handsomest town building in the state
 Then comes the Dixon house, now known as The Rhode Island, five story structure and the largest in the village. This building is of the very best grade of Philadelphia press ed- brick, not only in the front. but all of the four walls are of this highest grade brick. The trimmings are of brownstone.
 Last. but not least, is the new mar bie post office building, of artistic and elaborate design, with granite base ment and steps and green tiled roof After taking in this view of buildings from Wilcox park, by a turn to the right, there is also a good view of the new and moSern railway station, of concrete construction. Of the build ings, three are brick, but each of a different style. and the two granite buildings are not of the same shade So of the seven buildings named, that can be seen from Wilcox park, no two are of the same material, and each is a model in itself of the specific type of architecture.
