FRIDAY, MAY q, 1915.

Working bees seem to be the
order of the day all over the
country this spring, and they are
not of the honey-bee or singer
bee stripe either. Last week
about a hundred citizens of Troy
put in an entire day fixing up
and laying out a section of tim
Der land near town for a park
and will put in another days
work later to complete the job.
Last Friday the citizens of Kam-
iah and Winona put in the day
repairing the road down Seven
Mile canyon. 1t is such work as
this that really counts in a COM
munity and, while the amount of
labor performed may not figure
high in dollars and cents, it does
more to get the residents of a
community united and pulling to-
gether than any system we know
of. 1t exposes the community
knocker also to public gaze, for
no one but a booster, or public
spirited citizen, will engage in
such work and those who stay at
home or find fault with the meth
DDS employed are usually the ones
who do nothing of a public nature
but are always complaining about
and picking to pieces the work
done by their progressive neigh
bors. By all means let such
community work 60 on. Its value
IS beyond comparison in many
ways.

DISCOVERY Of
PHOSPHATE
eiehty.five Million Tons Of Phosphate
Rock, Estimated Content Of
Eliston Field, Montana

Thed iscovery of rock phosphate
at Melrose, Montana, by II. s. Gale
OF the United States Geological Sur.
vey, in October, 1910, suggested the
strong possibility Of its occurrence in
the western part of the State. In
1911 rock phosphate was discovered
by ]. 7. Pardee, of the Survey at
three localities in western Montana
in the Garnet Range, six miles
orth of Garrison; at Philipsburg;
and half a mile east of Elliston. a
detailed examination Of the phos.
phate lie d at Elliston was begun in
1913 by r. w. Stone and C. A. Bo-
nine, and their report has just been
published by the Geological Survey
as Bulletin 5SO.N.
The phosphate in the south hat
of the Elliston field is within two
miles Of the Northern Pacific Rail
way and readily accessible to It. The
farthest point in the northern part
of the field Is between six and sew.
en- miles from the railway by way OF
Dog Creek valley, down which there
is an easy grade. In the south half
OF the E,liston field the phosphate
bed stands nearly vertical along
about two miles of its outcrop, but
near Elliston 1t Is so faulted that an
estimate of the area underlain by 1t
Is difficult. On the assumption,
however, that this part of the field
contains the equivalent of three miles
OF outcropping bed that could be
mined to a depth of half a mile,
there Is in the south half of the field
plate; and as the few measurements
in this part of the field suggest an
average thickness OF four feet, 1t is
estimated that at least 15,2O4,s6
tons of phosphate rock is present In
the south half, while In the northern
half there is an estimated deposit OF
1O,OOO,O0O tons OF rock, making
total Of more than S5,OO0,OOO tons In
the whole Elliston field.
These deposits have not yet been
developed, owing to the regency oil
their discovery and to the lack Of
markets sufficiently near to justify
mining and reduction. The demand
for fertilizer products in the Western
States is not large, owing to the lack
of intensive cultivation and the new
ness Of the agricultural lands; but
there is a growing tendency to use
fertilizers where the land is farmed
extensively, especially in the Middle
West. The western phosphate de-
posits are favorably situated to meet
a demand from this section of the
country and will doubtless be utiliz-
ed in the future.

obtained free on application to the

ogical Survey, Washington. d. C.

STORM CONDITIONS IN
NEBRASKA SAID TO Be
THE WORST ON RECORD

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 5.-Some of
the railroads entering Omaha report
conditions today the worst on rec
ord. For the first time in more than
twenty years, not wheel was turn
ing on the Chicago & Northwestern
lines west of the Missouri river, all
trains having been annulled and not
even snow plows being operated.
This includes the Chicago, St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha road and 9TH
er branches Of the Northwestern sys-
TEN. The Burlington suspended OPP
erations on the greater part of the
Alliance branch.
The Union Pacific has kept its main
line open but several branches es
pecially In the northern part Of the
state were out Of business today.
Railroad men report that after
many hours Of hard work with rotary
plows, on some lines the plows being
run as many as seven or eight times,
It was found that conditions were no
better than at the beginning and it
was decided to cease all efforts to
open traffic until the storm abated.

POWER
IN EASTERN RIVERS
v. s. Geological Survey Studies
Stream Flow Of Rivers Of New
England and Middle Eastern
States

The rivers of the northeastern and
ed States are the best known in the
country and the earliest In point OF
development, and their usefulness as
sources Of power and centers OF in
dustry has been demonstrated for
several generations. Nevertheless 1t
has been shown by the work OF the
United States Geological Survey dur
ing past years and is demonstrated
In spite Of the long familiarity Of
manufacturers and industrial men In
general with most OF these rivers,
the water resources they afford have
not yet been appreciated and by no
means developed to their fullest ex-
tent. In fact, there are very few
rivers In this great region in which
the development Of water power has
come anywhere near the maximum
possible degree Of usefulness.
The report mentioned, Water Sup
ply Paper 261. contains records Of
flow during several years OF the
principal rivers in New England,
New York, New Jersey. Pennsylva-
MIA, and Maryland. which empty into
the Atlantic Ocean
Beginning with the records OF the
st. John River Basin, In the State
of Main, the report takes up sue
cessively all the principal streams
and many of their important tribu-
taries along the coast as far south
as the Rappahannock in Virginia.
Among the records OF interest is that
Of Connecticut River at Oxford, N.
II, covering the years 1907 to 1909.
It shows that the highest discharge
for the three year period occurred
ON April 16, 1909. when the river
flowed 49,700 cubic feet per second.
The highest discharge in the year
1908 was 36,700 cubic feet per
second, on April 30; the maximum
flow for the year 1907 was 10000 GU
bic feet per second. on May 3, The
record further shows that the lowest
stage was recorded in the year 1908
when. on September 2S, only 2SS Gu
bi. feet per second of water passed
the Oxford station. During that year
the flow exceeded 1000 cubic feet per
second in September and October
during only one day, and in this TWO
months lowwater period the average
flow was only 6S7 cubic feet per sec

ONE TREE
BRINGS 500
Single Sugar Pine In the Sierras
Yields Enough Lumber to Build
Suburban House

The government has received
$99. 40 In settlement for a single sug-
ar pine tree which was cut in tres
pass In the Stanislaus national forest
In California, and which yielded more
than enough actual lumber to build
a good sized suburban frame house.
The tree scaled 1898 board feet and
was va'ued at s5.25 per thousand
feet. Not many trees contain enough
lumber to build four foot board
walk mile long, and this is believ.
ed to be the first case on record In
which single tree felled in q nation
al forest was valued at almost $500
on the stump, although national for
est timber in California is frequently
sold at considerably higher rates.
Dangerous Bog to Be Fenced
The forest service has chased
barb wire and local stockmen will
fence a dangerous bog which covers
about ten acres near Mountain City
in the Humboldt national forest OF
northern Nevada. The bog surrounds
hot spring Of which the water is
excellent for bathing purposes for
the relief Of rheumatism. In the
spring, however, the mud in the holes
about the spring is pushed up eight
or ten inches above the level of the
ground about, and then becomes dry
and crusts over. This is deceiving
to people, who have sunk in the boys
to their arm pits, and to stock. that
are unable to extricate themselves.
Hitherto many head Of stock have
been lost there each year.
The applications for range indicate
that more cattle and fewer sheep will
be grazed on the Weiser forest, in
western Idaho, the coming season.
Present snowfall on the Weiser is
only 60 per cent of the average.

WATER TURNED INTO
NEW CHANNEL
Dams Costing $4,000 Completed and
Officially Accepted

The big dam at the Jordan Mar
rows, Utah, has been completed and
officially accepted. The water has
been turned in. Mr.. William knight
has had charge of the work. which
has been going on for the past two
md ons-half months, most of the
work being done by Lehi men. Ac-
cording to reports from some Of the
best engineers, this Is one of the best
dams In the country.
The main dividing dam wN'"r
takes care of the larger part of the
water is built in the old river chan
mel 1t is about fifty feet below the
old dam and in line with the regu.
lar channel and the old dam, which
was put in to turn the water through
the old gates. The new dam is Of
solid concrete reinforced throughout
with steel. 1t has floor SO feet wide
by so feet long. The dam is 10 feet
high with a 12-foot floor on the top.
1t is equipped with radial gates,
each having a 10-foot radius. These
are operated with gears, which are
reduced from 80 to /, making II cas-
lily operated by one man. The dam is
feet lower than the old one, thus
allowing much more water to be
drawn from the lake.
The west division of the dam will
be used to carry water into the Utah
and Salt Lake canal. The gates In
this part OF the dam are OF the rack
and pinion type made of steel and
wood.
The dams are so costructed that
the exact amount Of water running
In the several canals can be deter
mined to the gallon. This will abate
much trouble, which has heretofore
been unavoidable, on account Of not
being able to measure the water
quickly and accurately.
The old wooden dam was built by
Achibald Gardner. father Of Bishop
James H. Gardner about forty-fv'
years ago at a nominal cost Of $40,
900. 1t was the only dam In the
State at that time and was a great
| credit to the builder. II was known
as the beaver dam type.
