The cause of the great explosion
that shook five States and caused
a loss estimated variously at be-
tween $2O,OOO,OOO and $50, 1000, 900
is still mystery. Five separate
inquiries were started. The gen.
eral surmise is that the disaster
which may have caused the loss of
many lives was Of incendiary orr
gin and the incendary was hostile
to the cause Of the Allies. Theo-
dore P. Johnson, president of the
Johnson Lighterage and Towing
Company, was arrested on war

STRONG ARGUMENT
FOR MINE STATION
ROBERT N. BELL, STATE MINE IN
SPECTOR, TELLS CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE OF HIS VIEWS
Points Out Why University of Idaho is
Ideal Location For Mine
Research Work

Clear and comprehensive in his
address, Robert N. Bell, state mine
inspector, before the chamber of COM
merce today delivered a strong argu-
ment giving his reasons supported by
facts why the federal mining re-
search station should be established
at the University of Idaho. He came
to Moscow to assist the chamber of
commerce and the University of Idaho
in advancing the claims of Moscow for
the location of the station, hoping to
meet Van H. Manning, head of the
federal mine bureau, who is now in
Spokane Investigating the conditions
relative to this subject. Mr.. Bells
address was given close attention
and was roundly applauded.
Mr.. Bell declared that he was glad
of an opportunity to present an argu-
ment in behalf of the claims of the
university and Moscow for the es-
tablishment at this point of the fed
eral research station. He dwelt at
length on the ideal conditions sur
rounding the university, of the excel
lent equipment Of the university and
Of the geographical location, as being
the very center of the vast mineral
wealth of Idaho, Oregon Washington
and Montana.
He declared that one great claim
on the federal government by Idaho
lay in the governments ownership of
20,00O,0 900 acres of mineral lands and
100000 acres of phosphate lands. In
connection with the latter he declared
that the rock phosphate lands of Idaho
when fully developed would yield rich
returns to the nation and cited this
as one Of the special reasons why the
federal mine station should be lOcat-
ed in Moscow. He declared that the
heart and core of these rock phOs-
phate lands in the northwest lay in
Idaho He called attention to the for
est reserve area in Idaho, the great
water power available, the nitrate
beds and the timber resources.
