POTASH I'm CALIFORNIA.
SearIes Lake Offers Most Promising
Source of Supply Of Commercial
Potash.

The salt-incrusted valley foot com
monty known as Searles lake, in south
eastern California, has lately come into
prominence through the widespread in
terest in the search for an available
source of potash in this country and
the apparently promising prospects this
locality affords OF considerable com
mercial production in the near future.
The estimate made three years ago that
this deposit contains 100000 tons of
water.soluble potash salts seems TO have
been amply confirmed by subsequent de-
yelopments. That this amount of potash
salts will actually be produced and
placed on the market can not yet be
considered assured, but so far as can
be judged from evidence available it
seems that this deposit is the most
promising immediate source of CONNER
cial potash in the United States.
In bulletin 5S0--L recently published
by the United States geological survey,
Hoyt 5. Gale gives general account of
the main features of the lake history
and the deposition of the salines through
the drying up of the lake waters. His
report is a preliminary review based
on trips made through this and other
parts the Great Basin in pursuit of the
general pln of investigation looking to.
ward the discovery of future potash sup
plies.
Waters that formerly filled Ownes
valley until they overlooked, flooding
successfully lower and lower basins,
formed for time a chain of large lakes
in what is now the desert region Of
southeastern California. These food
waters passed from Owens valley, the
principal source Of the water supply, !
through Indian Wells, Searles, and Pana
mint valleys, y each OF which there I
was an extensive lake. Finally the vat /
ers are believed TO have overlooked also
into Death valley.

II is hard TO tell just why SEAVER'S
LAXATIVE TONIC TABLETS have be-

considering the short time they have been

been cause for wonder. They are no diff

usual merits. for from our own personal
observation we know that they always
do just what is expected of them. Their
action upon the skin and complexion is

STATE WILL ASSIST TOWNS.
in Purchasing Oil to Lay Dust in High
ways-Other Assistance Offered.

Rutland, April THAT the state will
pay man not to exceed $40 per mile
for half of the cost of road maintenance
matching such sums as the town appro-
PIRATES, was the assertion made by
State Highway Commissioner Bates at
the Rutland county good roads meet
ing here yesterday. The state will pay
half the cost resurfacing road, up to
$500, providing the work is done under
the direction of supervisor hired by
the state.
Small villages, which want to expert
ment with oil as a dust layer may OBJ
tain assistance from the state The
highway commissioner will not assist
in providing for the labor, but he will
pay half the cost up to $500 for the
purchase of oil this season. Mr.. Bates
emphasized the fact that it was useless
to spend oil on a road unless it were
first cleared of dust and other loose mat
ter.
The state is to establish road patrols
this year. If towns will specify piece
of trunk highway, a road of state i'm
portance, which it is designed to keep
in fine order, the state will engage a
man to give continuous service in look
ing after it, The town must pay its
share of the expense. The idea of this
plan is that one man working all the
time on given area will get better
results than several men working spas
medically The state does not guaran-
tee to repair damages done by washouts
and the like but merely to keep the road
in proper repair
Mr.. Bates urged the town road build
ers to construct bridges and culverts
At the present time the state law pro-
hibts any vehicle weighing, with its
load, more than 10 tons from travelling
on highway without permission, but
with the general use of the motor truck
this law will not stand long and strong
er bridges are needed.
Sill the holes at the approaches to
bridges" said the state highway com
missioner. "When heavily loaded au. |
tomobile, perhaps containing seven peo-
pie. comes TO a bridge at which there is !
a jump, it goes into the air and comes
down onto the planking with a three
ton blow. This pounding is bound to
weaken the bridge and we must put a
stop to it." he continued.
The commissioner urged the road |
builders to do such work as filling up
holes and smoothing roads in the spring,
not in the fall Dirt spread in the
spring always packs down.

CONSERVATORY CONCERT.

Last evenings entertainment at the
Conservatory of Music was one of the
best concerts ever given in this city.
The soloists without exception were in
a thoroughly artistic mood and the
audience which filed Music Hall showed
their appreciation by the enthusiastic
encores demanded. Miss Mossie Lowry,
the reader, captivated her audience
from the start. Her pleasing personal
ity, vivacity of manner, picturesque
representation testifies as to her ster-
ling worth as an elocutionist of high
order and Kenosha welcomes such abil-
ity and talent. She was forced to re-
spond to three encores. Mr.. Arthur
suttcliffe, tenor, was another musical
treat. His song Lend Me Your Aid, .
by Gounod, showed a wonderful voice,
lyric in quality and ample in sorority.
Miss Marguerite Wickes, soprano, sang
with beautiful tone and diction, the
" Flower Song from Faust, by Gou-
nod.
DR.. Slater Wilson, pianist, played
several OF his own compositions and
also the B fat Minor Concerto of Che
pin. It is needless to say that for mas
terful rendition and pure tone quality
his work stands alone and we under
stand that he will appear again soon.
