LAKES OF SODA IN AFRICA
Lake Maeadi Consists Of a Solid Block
Of Pure Sesquicarbonste
Of Soda.

If Great Britain succeeds in hold.
Ing German East Africa, she will come
into possession of one of the creates.
deposits Of soda in the world. England
has already nm enormous deposit In
Lake Magadi. which lies east Of Lake
Victoria Nyanza and about $50 miles
from the sea, and consists of solid
block of almost chemically pure ses-
quicarbonate of soda with a surface
area of at least fifty square miles. II
Is known to be nine feet Deep and
may be fifty or hundred.
This lake is generally dry, when It
looks as II frozen. After q rain 1t Is
covered with layer of strong soda
water. 1t Is fed by many springs, all
charged. and some Of them saturated
with soda. This proves that some
where near by there is far larger
deposit.
Across the border line In German
East Africa are Lakes Natron, Egassi
and Lawa-Yamwerie. larger than Lake
Magadi and formed Of almost pure
carbonate of soda. 1t is these that
will become British In the event of
England winning the German colony.

HAVE
TROUBLE AT WILD CAT

Yesterday, nineteen homestead
ers living near the head Of the Wild
Cat were to have hearing at Nor
gan for alleged violation of the law
in driving and scattering a large
bunch of cattle belonging to Rufus
Sterling.
The Morgan Times tells of the
affair in a story relating that rifles,
revolvers and shot guns figured.
Reports reaching here lack some-
thing Of the lurid character of the
homesteaders admit that they drove
the cattle, but say that they only
drove the cattle from their own
lands, neighbors changing works
in assisting each other to give the
cattle quite journing in the d.
rection of Fort Morgan where the
owner lived,
They say that one of the COW
boys attempted to beat one of their
number and declined to stop until
he was persuaded to do so by a re-
volver,
1t is said that Sterling had been
asked. urged or warned to remove
his cattle from the vicinity by a
letter or petition signed by some
nineteen settlers and that he now
has the entire number arrested
and they were to appear in court
at Morgan yesterday.
The editor of the Enterprise is
there TO hear the evidence and re.
port the case, and hopes to present
the affair as it appears to him in
next weeks issue.
The Enterprise expects to go to
press Wednesday evening, in time
to mail out all papers on Thursday.
To do this We must have copy in
time. We believe the earlier pub
lication will be appreciated by read
ers and will benefit the advertisers.

The Virtues Of Soup.

That the disappearance of the soup
pot In the American kitchen was one
Of the reasons for the present high
cost of living was a statement made by
Miss Pearl Macdonald, economic ex-
pert, in her address before prominent
Pittsburgh women on home economics
at the Pennsylvania State college.
"The American housewife does not
follow the example Of her European
sister" Miss Mcdonald stated. "In the
making Of soups, meats and bone can
be used which are not used at all by
the American women. | also would
recommend the making of clear soups
only on rare occasions, as In the clear
soups you remove substances which
are highly nutritious and which pos
cess food value"
Refrainlng from the use Of expen-
sive cuts and steaks also was recon-
mended by the speaker. She said that
the expensive cuts were more tender,
but that the tougher meats contained
more fiber, more flavor and were more
nutritious. - Philadelp1 < loSp0nd.

UysYaG HEROES MEMORIAL
Mef ent Erected in Memory Of Gal
iant leeds Of Engine-Room Heroes
OF British Navy.

At the Princess Pier Head In Liver
pool, grnnite monument has been
erected In memory of the valiant deeds
OF the englne-r0om heroes of the Brit
ish navy, according to Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. In addition to the
interest the memorial attracts as n
work Of art, 1t Is notable for two
things. 1t Is one Of the very few shafts
that have ever been raised anywhere
In honor of the many courageous sea-
going engineers. mechanics, and CO..
workers who have stuck to their posts
In the face of death and performed
their duties with self-sacrificing pa
triotism equal TO that of any soldier
or sailor. The other noteworthy point
Is that'the memorial Is the only impor-
tant English work OF its type that has
ever BEEN executed solely In granite.
1t is As feet In height and consists of
an obelisk surmounting heavy base
on two sides of whlab3are scuIptured
groups representing tiie different dl.
visions In the personnel of an engine
room staff. The other two sides of the
rectangular support carry inscriptions
AT the corners of the top part of the
base are four figures symbolical of
earth, air, fire, and water. Behind
these figures and supposedly supported
by them Is a sea-circumscrlbed globe,
on each side of the back Of which n
flaming sun is visible. A group of
lightly-craped feminine figures, holding
wreaths. crowns. the SHIFT, which at the
apex Is surmounted by n fiery torch.

DEPUTY PULLS GUN
ON THOMAS CLARK

r. >. Lynch. a deputy sheriff
from Greeley caused a mild divers.
ion in the Ficken pool room lasI
Saturday Lynch, a Mexican
drifted into town Friday Afternoon
and amused himself around the
pool hall, eventually getting into {
game with Tom Clark. Tom il
quite a josher, and bore down {
little "heavy' on the Mexican al
times, and the gentleman showed
that he was peeved.
In playing rotation the Mexican
claimed a ball, and Clark claimed
that he struck the wrong ball first
Some names where called, Ton
told him he would smash him with
his cue, and then Lynch pulled bis
gun and threatened to shoot, and
made his boast of what he had
done and would do.
About this time Ficken came in
from the street and he advised Mr.
Lynch to put his dangerous play.
thing and get out and not come
back, piece Of advice that he had
the good sense to follow without
delay.
A warrant was issued for his ar.
rest, and then the fellow showed
papers appointing him as deputy
sheriff. This seemed so absurd
that the sheritf's office at Greeley
was called and the local authorities
astonished to find that the Mexican
was an official by virture of the act
of the Weld county sheriff, so he
was allowed to depart.
AS the man made several offers
for drink, it assumed that he
might have been acting under the
impression that he was a detective
looking for boot. leggers. Upon
the theory that it takes a rogue to
catch arogue, he might be selected,
but we should imagine that his
usefulness would be limited if he
pulls of such plays often.
We learn that this man has been
in such scraps before, that he has
pulled knife in Greeley in alter.
cation over a game of pool. We
must say that the deputy sheritfs
coming here from Greeley do moi
impress us very faeorably.
