PARIS MUTUAL
BILL IS SIGNED
RACE BILL BECOMES
A LAW

CARSON CITY, New, Feb. 81
Governor Boyle signed the bill per-
hitting parI-mutuel betting on
horse races yesterday afternoon. The
bill was SEN to him yesterday norm
ing by the senate enrolment COM
mittee. 1t is the companion mea
ure to the bill establishing a state
racing commission signed by the gov
erno earlier in the week. 1t was
at one time rumored that he had
signed the pari-mutuel bill previous
ly but it did not reach him until yes
terday.
A bill introduced yesterday in the
sena'e by Seaman provides hat all
mining companies shall provide ade-
quate ventilation in underground
workings, by artificial methods in
case the natural ventilation is i'm
perfect. The bill requires that all
mines be kept at a temperature of
not over So degrees Fahrenheit. The
mines must be kept free of poisonous
gases and explosives. Violation of
the act is made a misdemeanor,
punishable by a fine of not less than
800 nor more than $500.
The senate killed another eight
hour day bill yesterday after a
lengthy debate by a vote of 9 for and
6 against. The bill was introduced
some time ago by Senator Seaman
and came out of the senate commit
tee on labor yesterday with a ma
jority report being favorable. The
minority report was signed by Chap
in and Fernald and the majority re-
port by Harrington, Kenney and
Seaman. The bill provided an eight
hour day for all employees, male and
female. Seaman spoke at length on
the measure saying that it was de-
signed particularly to do away with
japanese and Chinese labor.
Thatcher spoke against the bill as
sorting that it would work a great
hardship on many business institu-
tions in the state.
Dewar's bill making it mandatory
on the part of all mining companies
and mine operators to furnish ice
water in suitable r~eceptacles in all
mines in this state brought a storm
in the assembly yesterday and for a
time it looked as though there would
be serious personal results. The
bill was passed but was so amended
as to make it mandatory on the part
of the operators to supply water in
underground workings in proper RI
ceptacles, for drinking purposes. 1t
practically killed the effect of the
bill. Many amendments were pro-
posed to the bill, among them being
n by Heidtmann striking out the
words "ice water from the bill and
substituting beer" The amend
ment was declared adopted but on
a rising vote was defeated.

Gets Meal By Force

A Chinese restaurant keeper at
Virginia City, becoming suspicious
that the financial condition of a
stranger, was such that in all
probability the bill would re-
main unpaid, refused to serve him
unless the money vas paid in adj
vance The stranger then took mat
tiers into his own hands, went into
the kitchen, and after forcing the
Chinaman into subsection cooked and
ate a hearty meal, departing with
the promise that he would see his
host again.

WASHOE SHELTER
TO MAKE Fertilizer
WILL UTILIZE SULPHURIC ACID
TO CONVERT PHOSPHATE
ROCK INTO PLANT FOOD

Within a year it is probable that
Montana will add to it's industries
one of great Importance and one
that will practically convert what has
been regarded as a detriment into a
source of benefit and revenue
In establishing the sulphuric acid
plant at Anaconda, the Anaconda
company has looked far into the flu
ture and the possibilities Of utiliZ-
ing the phosphate beds that exist in
different parts of the state.
The manufacture of high grade fer
tilizer by using the phosphate rock
and the sulphuric acid promises to
become of great commercial inn
portance and one of the big indus
tries of this part of the state.
Investigations have been going on
by representatives of the company
into the phosphate beds in the VI
cinity of Maiden Rock, about forty
miles south of Butte on the Oregon
Short Line, and while these have not
been completed it is understood that
the rock there is of the best quail
ity.
All the phosphate beds in the state
have been withdrawn from entry by
the government so that they can
not be tied up by spectators but
will be available for leasing purposes
to persons or corporations in a po-
sition to handle them for the bene-
fit of the people.
With the sulphuric acid plant o.
the Anaconda company in readiness
for operation the company will be
in a position to negotiate a lease
with the government that will enable
it to handle the phosphate rock and
go extensively into the manufacture
of fertilizer.
The sulphur that once went out in
the shape of fumes and has been sub
ject Of years of litigation will now
become a big commercial by-product
through its conversion into sulphur
ic acid and hat in turn being util-
lied in the making of fertilizer from
the phosphate rock.
The sulphuric acid plant, it is ex-
pected, will begin operations in
April. The plant will lhave a capac-
ity of about 100 tons of acid per
day. A part of this will be used in
the proposed teaching of the tailings
that are piled up in enormous guam
titles. 1t is estimated that there
are 100000 tons of tailings at
the WaShOe Smelter and eventually
these will be disposed of through the
teaching process at the rate of 49,
900 tons a day. For the present the
teaching plant will handle from p
900 to $500 tons daily.
The tailings are said to carry
about thirteen to fourteen pounds OF
copper per ton and the teaching Of
these will add about 600, 900 pounds
of copper per month to the output
of the Washoe smelter.--- Salt Lake

GOOD RESULTS FROM PROPER
FERTILIZERS

The publication in this paper a few
weeks ago of a short article on com
mercial fertilizers has aroused a great
deal of discussion. In the article re-
ferred to the question was asked, do
commercial fertilizers pay?" This
inquiry has caused large number of
people to report the good results they
have obtained by the use Of fertiliz-
ers. One of the strongest examples
Of this fact which has been cited is
the following. During the past 20
years the Ohio Experiment Station
at Wooster has grown crops side by
side to test the value of fertilizer. In
rotation of corn, oats, wheat, Glow
er and timothy a moderate applica-
tion of fertilizer was made to one set
of pots while no fert ilizer whatever
was given to the other set. The re-
suit has been that the fertilized plots
have yielded more than the unfertil-
lied plots beside them by the follow
Ing dIuOuuCS u OIu5 lO UuSublSS OdJSy
Is bushels; wheat, 3 bushels; Glow
er, " ton; timothy 13 ton. These
figures apply to plots where complete
fertilizers were used and give the av-
erage increase for twenty years. This
experiment seems to indicate that |
when properly chosen, fertilizers
are of considerable value.
In order to help farmers through
out the state in choosing the fertiliz-
ers best adapted to their land the
College of Agriculture has arranged
for soil specialists to visit farmers
1uring August and September. To
3ecur cav sit from one of these men,
which is free, readers of the Demo-
,rat should write to Clark S. Wheel
sr. Townshend Hall, Ohio State Uni
yersity, Columbus.
