UNITED STATES BUYS
DANISH WEST INDIES
FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT EXPECT
ED Observation-Disclosures
NOT GIVEN OUT
Islands Lie East Of Porto Rico, And
Are of Great Military Stragetic
Value
BY the United Press Associations.

By the United Press Associations
WASHINGTON, July 26. - Formal
announcement of the purchase of the
Danish West Indies by the United
States for $25,0OO,OOO is expected mo-
mentarily. Only the determination
of few details remained this morn
ing to complete the negotiations.
The exact provisions of the agree
ment have been closely guarded in the
belief that publicity at this time
might place the negotiations at dis
advantage.
The chief concern is understood to
be the possibility that some third ma
ton might bring pressure to bear to
defeat the project.
In general terms the treaty is un-
derstood to follow one negotiated in
1902 by the two governments, but
which lapsed when the Danish par
lament failed to ratify it after the
United States senate had acted favor
ably. 1t is said to contemplate COM
plete American acquisition of the
group, which lies east of Porto Rico
and is regarded as of great strategic
military value. REIMBURSEMENT of
underlined American claims through
right of discovery in Greenland,
Danish colony, also is said to be in
cluded.
The treaty of 1902, in common with
other uncompleted purchase propos-
ais that have been considered be-
tween the two governments during
the last half century, provided that
the lands should not be transferred
until their inhabitants had voted ap-
proval. 1t is presumed the present
treaty bears such a provision, but the
possibility Of an unfavorable vote by
the islanders is considered very re-
mote.

work was resumed thirty-six hours af-

Federal officials investigating the

This action was taken because tests
of the gas through which the rescu-

highly explosive and officials feared
second explosion. An attempt will
be made to pump out the gas.
All hope that any of the eleven men

succumbed to the deadly gas, are in

MOSCOW FIRE BRICK & CLAY
PRODUCT CO., SIGNS CONTRACT
FOR $4,000 EQUIPMENT
To Install Plant With Capacity Of
$4,000 Brick Per Day And Begin
Work at Once

Machinery has been contracted fol
by the Moscow Fire Brick & Clay
Product company, superintendent
has been hired, several tracts of lane
near the city are being considered fol
the location of a plant, and within
sixty days at the most the first kiln
of brick from the company's clay de-
posits near Joel will have been burn
ed and placed on the market, accord
ing to information given out this
morning by John Nisbet secretary OF
the company.
Contracts for machinery costing ap-
proximatelyl $4,000 were signed Mon
day afternoon with E. J. Shaw, west
ern representative at Seattle of the
American Clay Machine company of
Bucyrus, Ohio. The first shipment OF
machinery will be made within few
days. The equipment purchased is
adequate for turning out $4,000 fire
brick per day, and the first products
of the new plant will be two kilns of
bricks, one fire brick and one face
brick.
Tom Hall Sof Spokane, for many
years superintendent of the Washing
ton Brick & Lime company's plant in
Spokane, will be superintendent OF
the works, and will have charge of the
assembling of the machinery as soon
as it arrives. Mr.. Hall arrived in the
city yesterday
without a doubt the clay deposits
owned by the new company are as
good as the best, if they are not the
best, in the United States," Mr.. Hall
declares. "The elements are distri-
buted in the clay in ideal proportions.
The several colors of clay obtainable
in these deposits makes them par
ticularly valuable because of the many
colors that may be compounded from
them

1t will probably be several days be-

is made known, the officials of the
company having four different tracts
under consideration.
The company has already been as
sured of market for all the brick
they can put out. 1t is planned later
to manufacture a full line of clay
products.
About ten days are required to burn
a kiln of brick. The company will
employ approximately 25 men, usual
ly man to the thousand brick per
day being required. The first kiln
burned will contain about 10000
brick.

PROPER RIPENING OF CREAM
Quality OF Butter Depends on Changes
Made From Time of Separation
Until Added TO Churn.

BY he ripening of cream is meant
the changes ii undergoes from the
time of separation until it is added to
the churn. Upon these changes de-
ponds very largely the quality of but
ter as regards texture and flavor. The
temperature at which cream is held
determines the firmness or texture,
while the flavor Is dependent upon the
by-products from the bacterial growth.
The purpose of ripening cream is
fundamentally that of giving the but
ter the desired flavor and aroma, but
In addition it increases the ease and
efficiency of churning. Cream is ripen-
ed In one of two ways:
First. it sours or ripens as q result
of the action of bacteria which are
normally present in milk and cream;
or,
Second, it ripens as q result of ac-
ton of certain kinds of bacteria which

KILLING WILD ONION PLANTS
Secret Of Vitality Lies in Bulb Which
terminates in FalI-Destroy
Pest by Flowing.

The secret Of the vitality of the wild
onion lies In the two sorts of under
ground bulbs Each plant produces
one large bulb which terminates In
the fall and four or five small ones
which start growth in the spring.
Late fall blowing, followed by early
spring blowing and planting the in
tested land TO some clean cultivated
crop destroys the wild onion pest by
killing both sorts of bulbs as the
growth from them appears and before
they have had q chance to multiply.
The fall blowing should be deep and
care should be taken to completely
bury all green tops of the onion. If
very much top growth has been made,
q harrow run before the pillow will ia
cilitate the thorough covering of the
tops.
Another interesting and valuable
point about the wild onion Is that the
spring bulbs rarely produce heads !;
consequently, IL the infested land Il
plowed in the fall, q spring oat crop
practically free of onions can always
be secured But for complete eradi-
cation of the onion, both fall and
spring blowing is necess ry.

Nothing could stop her. Justice Kiefer
pounded and the deputies shouted, but
to no avail. On and on she talked

PREPARING SOIL FOR WHEAT
Plant Requires Abundance of Food
for Satisfactory Growing-Good
Seed Essential.

Wheat is plant that responds very
readily to good preparation of the soil.
The plants require an abundance of
available plant food for satisfactory
growth. For this reason many thin
lands would give better results with
fertilizers.
Phosphoric acid has generally been
found to give good results on worn
soils. This is the constituent that
stimulates the production of grain.
But the use of fertilizer always re-
quires good preparation of the seed
bed. Wheat needs a very fine soil, the
finer the better. usually. To get Ii in
the best condition ii should be broken
or disked early and given time TO set
tie and crunble.
Good seeds are essential for strong
plants and good stand. Nothing but
heavy, clean seed should be sown.
