QUICKSILVER PRODUCTION.

The American quicksilver industry,
according to the United States geologi-
cal survey. continues to be of more
than usual interest throughout 1915,
owgin to a large. consumption OF the
metal in the manufacture of war sup
plies and the generally prevailing high
prices resulting from the great demand.
Soon after the outbreak OF the war for
eign embargoes on the expectation or
metals made 1t seem that domestic
producers would control the markets in
this country during the war, and sew
eral shipments from Italy, made, 1t Is
reported under contracts drawn prior
to the disturbed conditions abroad, did
not prevent q soaring market through
1915 and extending to March, 1916.
Although, owing to the efforts or
producers to make capacity output
from stocks have doubtless accumulat-
ed, the price of quicksilver abroad will
probably Justify exports from this
country and cause reductions of stocks
II the domestic quotations run much
below $40. Therefore, It would seem
that producers here may count upon a
fair price for their metal, possibly not
below 81 a pound. during the war.
Quicksilver mines and prospects Of
the United States were under active
development in 1915. quicksilver Is
used mainly in the manufacture OF full
inmate for explosive caps. of drugs
(calomel. mercuric chloride, etc.. of
paint (vermillfon), of electrical APP
planes and scientific apparatus, and
in the recovery by amalgamation of
precious metals. especially gold. 1t Is
little employed now days for silvering
mirrors. being replaced by silver nj

mercury, has been used considerably as
a paint for ships bottoms.

CONTROL OF UTILITIES.

The position OF the Grange in refer
ence to providing for the control OF
utilities by the municipalities of the
state Is entirely in harmony with Its
co operative efforts along various lines
and reflects its advocacy Of co-opera-
tive methods.
The state farm markets bureau was
also Endorsed by resolution which
embodied a recommendation that the
legislature enact into law the recon-

A resolution of Endorsement was also
given the state board of education.
A number Of other resolutions bear

of the state were adopted.
PROTECTION PLANNED.
The convention of this year marks
an eventful epoch in the history of
this great agricultural organization In
this state for 1t has demonstrated to
the farmers who compose 1t that
through organization and concerted ef-
forts only can they protect themselves.
1t has given them an adequate con-
ccption of the full import of "the get
together movement" and it is safe to
predict that they will give it a practi-
cal application in the years to come,
and with the fast increasing realiza-
ton Of the fact that their operations
constitute the real basis Of all prosper
ity and that success of all other phases
of business is dependent upon their

potency as factor in the legislation

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

The session OF yesterday was large
ly consumed in the reception by the
convention of resolutions recommen-
datory of the enactments of legislation
by the present state legislature held
to be of vital interest to the farmers
of the state and to their benefit by
the Grange.
AS was forecasted in yesterdays Is
sue Of the Capital News, the Grange
went on record as favoring an amend
ment of the present state public utili-
ties law, which will take from the
commission its power to compel CO.
operation and non profiting public utll-
tiles to make application to it for GER
tifcates of convenience and necessity
before they can do business in the
state. This resolution was adopted by
a unanimous vote. It recommends
that the present law be SO amended at
this session of the legislature that
such utilities as are named can
enter business without certificates of
convenience and necessity from tho
commission and that corporations OPP
Grating where such utilities may de-
sire to enter may be accorded justice
in the way of being given protection
IOT IllelC investments, IL Is TccOIn-
mended that the legislation enacted
provide for the appointment of n con-
demnation commission to be COM
posed of one member of the corpora
ton, one Of the cooperative company
and one member OF the state public
utilities commission, which shall as
sess the physical valuation of the cor
poration company and that its property
shall be sold at this valuation to the
cooperative company.
In the class Of cooperative and non
profitins utilities are also included mu-
inequalities. Special significance and
interest attaches to this recommended
ton because Of the long pending con-
troversy between the city of Pocatello
and the water company Of that city In
which the city has desired to take over
the system Of the company.
The Grange elected 4. A. Allen of
Meridian as a member Of the execu-
tive committee. Rupert was selected
