NEW MEXICO TO
DEVELOP LARGE
POTASH DEPOSIT

CARLSBAD, N. M, Feb. 2. UP
Development of the largest de-
posits of potash in the world will
be undertaken after construction
of a narrow gauge railroad from
the deposits to the United States
Potash company's refinery, near
here, is completed.
Officials of the company declare
the deposits would furnish suffi-
cient potassium to supply all de-
mands for the mineral in this
country.
The deposits are being worked
to some extent at the present time,
but the completion of the railroad
will increase transportation facili-
ties and make possible the full de-
velopment.
C. B. Zabriskie. company vice
president, who was here recently,
said the development would con-
tinue despite the decreased demand
for fertilizer and other products Of
potash refinery, due to lessened
farm and industrial activity.
The deposits were found num-
her of years ago, but not until re-
Gently has there been a great deal
of activity toward making them
produce the amount of mineral OF
which they are capable.

Scout Records
Here Inspected

Edward l.. Curtiss, deputy re-
gional Scout executive, just COM
pleted a three-day inspection tour
of the Imperial-Yuma council. in
specting council office and records.
Much advancement has been
made in the methods of maintain
ing office records of Boy Scout
troops. More simplified and eff
cient financial records have been
installed, enabling the public to
minutely inspect the condition of
the council at any time.
Membership of the council has
advanced steadily throughout the
year Of 1881 despite the loss OF one
executive and the cutting of the
operating budget.
To a marked degree the turnover
of Scouts and the men who are
leaders of Scouts, has been les
sened.

FLYING COSTS
NOW REDUCED
TO MINIMUM

NEW YORK, Feb. 2. U.P)-If a
person wanted to fly a round trip
from the Pacific coast to New York
two years ago, it cost $500 and the
trip was made in a single engined
mail-plane.
Today you can make the same
round trip in a tri-motored pas
senger transport with meals fur
nished and with de luxe service
comparable to anything found on
the European continent for S288
The one way fare has dropped from
5000 to S160.
The above is typical of what has
happened to airplane fares in the
last six months, until today the
average cost in the United States
is six cents a mile and the cost in
regular schedule of operations is
approximately rail plus Pullman.
One of the largest air transport
lines in the world, in point of daily
mileage flown, whose planes fly a
million miles a month, touching 40
cities in 10 states, started off the
year by announcing plane plus
Pullman fares. This was followed
by similar announcements of other
lines.
The average in 1881 was slight
ly under seven cents a mile To-
day the average is less than six
cents a mile.
A survey shows that the need for
air travel by executives and bus
mess men is increasing Sixty per
cent of 784 corporations capital
lied at 100000 or more have ex-
ecutiyes and representatives using
airplanes regularly.

On the Air To-day
Colorado Opera House
 Show Revival On Air

Rollicking days of the silver rush to Colorado will be vividly recalled by a program commemorating the revival of the old Central City, Colo. Opera House. where Fanny Barlow, John l.. Sullivan, Belle Archer, Denman Thompson, Mag gle Mitchell, Boothe and Warde were acclaimed. The program will be heard over a National Broad casting Company network on Sat- urday, July 16.
 The broadcast, which will be featured by short talks by old timers who attended the formal opening of the Opera house 52 years ago, will be heard at 6:0O D. m., E.D.S.T., over an NBC-WJZ network, through the facilities of KOA, Denver.
 Central City, which anti-dates modern Denver, is no longer the glamorous mining town and trad ing center of a half-century ago. It is so deserted now that the town is universally known as the "Phan- tom City"
 The walls of the old Opera house will again ring with applause, how ever, for the building has been re- stored to much of it's original grandeur as a permanent memor- ial to Colorado pioneers.
 The broadcast will mark the be- ginning of a weeks theatrical fes- tival where will gather persons prominent of the stage, screen, and other walks of life.
 Lillian Gish, former film actress will play the lead in the produc- tions, with Robert Edmund Jones assisting in the directing.

The Colonial Trust company OF
Waterbury was designated as a de-
pository for borough funds at the
monthly meeting Of the. board of
warden and burgesses held last
night. This action was taken after
Warden Whittmeore explained to
pany holding borough bonds had
requested that two banks be des-
ignated as repositories for borough
moneys. With only one commercial
bank in the borough now, it was
decided to make the Waterbury in
stiaution the other bank. II the
'boYough's deposit in the Naugatuck
National bank amounts to more
than $150,0O0, the. balance will be
deposited in the Waterbury bank,
it was explained.
Balk at Badge Prices
The board baked at paying $50
for two badges for the recently
appointed police sergeants. Burgess
Richard Parkinson called the at
tention to the fact that two badges
purchased for Sergeant Vincent
Skelly and Anthony Malone, jr.,
would cost the borough $50 and the
lDa0K0S LOT the OulCSTS u tu0 AL Q
department cost $33. Burgess
Parkinson stated that these badges
could have been purchased at a
much lower figure, adding that he
knew what he was talking about
as he had purchased many badges.
Warden Whittemore ventured the
opinion that the finance committee
would not approve Of the bill.
Burgess Parkinson and Zwick both
expressed the opinion that it was
about time the heads Of the de-
partments practice Of spending
money with out the approval Of the
board be checked.
