WASHINGTON. Jan. 3.-A gloomy

The secretary takes up hr't ;he

high Development of Searles lake de-
posits presents technical difficulties

Manufacturers are experimenting now,
the statement says, with alunite. Kelp
is offered as the best material. Three
large concerns have begun manufac-
ture from kelp and government ex-
perts will be sent to the Jacifc Coast
to aid in the experimental work.
Production will be slow for a lone
time. the Secretary points out, and de-
mand for potash in other industries Is
so great that none manufactured in the
United states will be available soon foi

says:

4 HUNDRED DOLLAR
 BET THAT THE J. $.
 SHOULD BE AT WAR

"I'll bet a thousand dollars that four months after Hughes is elected, the United States will be at war" this from a man sitting in barber's chair yes terday afternoon.
 Said the neighbor, "I'll bet thou sand dollars that if Wilson is elected we will be at war in less time than that"
 Said still another neighbor. and his remarks were received with laughing approval from everyone present. Well I'll bet a hundred dollars that we ought to be at war right now"
 The above remarks are to illustrate that practically the sole topic of con versation in Phoenix these days is poli- tics. It seems to be a rather hard mat ter to find a republican who is not sure that MT. Hughes Is going to be elected, but it is possible to find hundreds of democrats, who admit that their man may be beaten.
 Of the three men talking, whose con versation is quoted above, two had been chased out of Mexico Both were democrats, but they differed in their opinions of Mir. Wilson.
 The one who was so anxious to bet a thousand on Hughes plunging the i country into war is a Wilson man in spite of the fact that he lost $75 900 | in one chunk, on account of the bandits i chasing him out of Mexico" He is not for war and he admitted that he 1 had never been to war. and never wanted to go. while the other democrat 1 has been to war. and Mexico both.
 This same man who thinks we ought to be at war, and has been to what General Sherman called war, was at the battle of San Juan Hill and Is for l Roosevelt first, last and always. He is Of the opinion that if Roosevelt was president. there would be no trou- ble in Mexico now. and he would be 1 enjoying the fruits of his labors be- low the border at the present hour.
 Why, l want to be an American % he said. "l don't want to have to hide ! my citizenship when I go below the line, It's all right to say we are not al war, bs1 just the same we are get 1 ting and have been getting a pretty good licking few hundreds of miles from here"
