MORE ABOUT DEATH OF ERNEST GOWLAND

Galien, Mich., Aug. 11, 1920. Editor Republican, Dear Sir—Would like to correct La notice of the death of our son, Ernest H. Gowland, which appeared in the Republican and Democrat, also in several Chicago papers, of which none are correct. Ernest met his death on Tuesday morning at 7:30, as stated, but not by falling through a skylight while repairjing the roof. He was a department superintend- ' ent for Swift & Co., and, on arriving at the plant that morning, took Mr. Kirby, one of his assistants, and went over to —this building where they were installing a dust-consum-ing plant. In order to get this machinery in place the contractor I had a hole about 5 feet square cut in the upper floor. After the ma- [ chinery had been hoisted up and l after they were through with this hole, some of the workmen had merely covered it up with some tar paper to keep the dust from coming up from below. Mr. Kirby and others showed me the place and said he and Ernest were discussing the work and moving around, when Ernest suddenly disappeared thru this death-trap, falling about 40 feet to the ground floor, which waa of brick: Mr. Kirby also stated that he did not.know of this temJorary covering, but supposed it ad been properly closed, as it had not been in use for some time. - Funeral was held at the Lain chapel, 63rd and Harvard, bunal in the Mount Hope Cemetery. H. J. GOWLAND.

MANYENJOY VACATION TIME

SEEK RECREATION IN MANY CLIMES AT VACATION PEROD NEARS END. It is recess time and many of our citizens, who have been doing the strenuous lessons in the real school are to enjoy a recess. Our feeling of the days when the stern teacher kept us at our task while our fellows were allowed to go out and play during recess swells within -our breast. Fellow reader, if you were among those who have not'done time during intermission you cannot appreciate to the full our emotion. But we remember that someone has told us that envy is a sword which wounds only he who would thrust it at his fellow, so we will try to thrill while we tell you of the happy vacations to be enjoyed by our fellow citizens. Banker James H. Chapman and wife go to St. Joseph, Mich., Monday, and he will live again in the memory of many happy days, called forth by association with many of the joys of his boyhood days. Mr. and Mrs. George H. McLain leave Sunday for Lima, Wauseon and other points in Ohio. Here at the shrine of the statesmen of the nation Mr. McLain will but dream of the task of taking of Jasper county’s gold and will be thrilled with the fact that Ohio will not only furnish the next president of this great nation but will give to Jasper county its next treasurer. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Holden, our lovers of the beautiful, will go to the City of Flowers, Cleveland, 0., and will be with the Florists of the nation. ‘ Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Fendig, who left today for the region of the seals, will be at so far a distant corner of the playground that they may not hear the school bell and may be tardy. -If they are we hope the teacher makes them stand on the floor out Jn front. . No, not that, for we promised not to be envious, so we hope that they and Mil the others have a most enjoyable tinle ' Mr. and Mrs. Fendig’s trip will be a most- delightful one and while they will have made an investment in recreation of more than SI,OOO they will undoubtedly have made a most excellent use of the money. They will be joined at Chicago by others and the.party will consist of twenty-five pleasure seekers and youth retainers. ' From Chicago the-party will leave on the Soo line until they reach the Canadian Pacific railway on which they will make the trip to the coast on one of this road’s palatial trains, ending at the terminal, Vancouver. Three stops will be made on this trip at Lake Louise, Glacier and Banff. ' ... From Vancouver, the party will go north by boat and will find the trail blazed by Col. Harry Parker, who, many years ago, was a gold seeker in that region. At Shagway, which is in southeastern Alaska, the party will face about for the home journey, and upon reaching Seattle,Wash., will return by the famous Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul ra Mr &y and Mrs. Fendig willbe away some three weeks. During this time Laban Wilcox will assist Dr. Garver at the Rexall Drug Store and Grandmother Watson will preside at the Fendig home caring for Watson and Frederick School has taken up again for Dr. and Mrs. A. G. Catt. They arrived home Friday evening from a most delightful automobile trip thru Ohio and visited the famous qountry home at Trails End longs to Millionaire James M. Cox governor of the Buckeye state and Democratic candidate for pnraid«nt. The Rev. E. W. and Mis. Strecker and son, John, will leavfr Monday for a two weeks’ through Ohio and along the Great Lakes. *They .will be accompanied after the first weekby their otter son, Paul, whose Home is in Detroit.

THE AMERICAN' POTASH INDUSTRY

UTAH TO REPLACE GERMANY IN SUPPLYING THE UNITED - STATES WITH POTASH FOR FERTILIZER. It is a well known fact that Germany has controlled the world in the potash field, through its deposits in Alsace-Lorraine. Five years ago in the Sevier Valley, 200 miles south of Salt Lake City, Utah, the Armour Packing Company, The Aluminum Potash Company of America and Mr. Geo. M. Winkelman, a Nebraska ranch owner and banker, built plants for the extraction of potash out of the famous chemical combination ore called alunite. Alunite averages 10 per cent potash, 30 per cent sulphur, 45 per cent aluminum oxide and the balance water and sand. The potash fertilizer manufactured from this alunite ore is of the highest fertilizer value, being absolutely free from chloride, borax and sodium, differing distinctly from the potash manufactured in Nebraska, where it is obtained from- brine and alkali lakes and holds a high pgr cent of chloride and soda. It also - differs from the potash fertilizer obtained from California lakes and sea weed called kelp, which contains a high percentage of borax. It is a well known fact and has long been established by the gov-* ernment and individual agricultural experiment stations in our country that chloride, borax and sodium are highly injurious to all plant life. The fertilizer obtained from the mines in Utah is of the purest grade of potassium sulphate, reaching a purity of 92 per cent in the refining process. The plain roasted ore yields as fertilizer a guaranteed standard percentage of 18% per cent of potash sulphate. 'As to quality and quantity of the deposits The AJumnium Potash Company of America refers to the United State Government Geological and Agricultural Department of Washington, D. C., also to the Universities of Utah, Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana. The following extracts are taken from Circular No. 76, Bureau of Soils, U. S. Department of Agriculture, showing the value of alunites and kelp potash fertilizers, the ignited - alunite showing a growth of 141 per cent against 131 where kelp was used. The increase in growth with ignited alunite over the untreated soil varied from 35 to 48 per cent, the average increase being 40 per cent. In the United States the alunite has been found in" form so massive and so pure as to make it available as a source of potash, only in the deposits at Marysvale, Utah. It is worth noting that, according to laboratory experiments, 32.7 per eent of the ignited alunite consists of available potassium sulphate, which can be extracted by simple water leaching and evaporation, the remaining 63 per cent consisting of nearly pure aluminum oxide. ' Extracts from letters of Dr. Frank K. Cameron, ex-chief chemist of the U. S. Government, now located at Salt Lake City, Utah, with the American Smelter and Refining Co.: “It can be positively stated, however, that it is possible to recover alumina of an extraordinary purity from this alunite, as well as alum, and aluminum sulphate and potassium sulphate. While in_ my opinioh, the chief value of the alunite in normal times will be, as a source of alumina, a high potash content is desirable. First, because the potash will prove a very valuable by-product for which there will be, always, an unlimited market, and secondly, because it has been proven by experience, that a high potash content is associated with a low silica content. The technical operations involved are really quite simple, and are now worked out quite

satisfactorily.” Prof. Mahin, of Purdue University, visited the mines, and speaks highly of the proposition. A letter from the University says regarding the potash from this company. I thought it might be of interest to you to know that the Indiana Station has started two new experiment fields this year in which potash from different sources has been used, including some alunite potash from Utah. On our Rensselaer field on unproductive black soil, the alunite potash gave about the best results of any of the different potash salts. If your material contained 30 per cent potash it would sell in car lots for S9O a ton.” The above are but a few of the many testimonials as to thevalue of the products of the Aluminum Potash Company of America. Aside from potash fertilizer the company in their new plant have manufactured and intend m the future to manufacture on a larger scale the following products: Potash alum, potassium sulphate salts, aluminum sulphate and aluminum oxide. Industries using the products of this company are the die, photography, match, tannery, drug, paper, glass and explosives and city water purification systems. The New West Magazine has the following tff say of The Aluminum Potash Co. of America: “The Aluminum Potash Company of America was organised in March, 1919, to take over and develop the

Copper Butte group of mining claims situated in Deer Creek Canyon, Piute county, Utah, about one and one-half miles west of the Denver & Rio Granae railroad. This group of fifteen claims had been worked for eighteen years as a copper mine, but when the potash discoveries were made in the Marysvale district, it was found that the ‘Copper Butte’, besides being a copper mine, encompassed one of the largest known' deposits of alunite in the United States and possibly in the whole world. This deposit is approximately one thousand feet wide by two thousand feet long, the highest point of outcroppings is over five thousand "feet above the lowest outcroppings. Between these two points it is estimated there are sixty million tons of alunite. * The company is constructing an aerial tramway 9,000 feet long, extending from the mill to the mill site on the Denver & Rio Grande railroad. This tramway will have a capacity of 62% tons per hour. * -The company also owns 173 acres of patented land on which is located the mill-site and the townsite of Winkelman./ The Grand Canyon highway runs through this townsite. The company is fast building up a modern townsite, including a school house, and several new cottages owned by the employes are in the course of construction. Among the many commercial products which the company can manufacture from this ore are aluminumoxide, aluminum-sulphate, causticpotash, sulphuric acid, potash alum, ammonia alum and metallic aluminum, besides many compounds of potassium, all of which have a wide market and many of them are ex-

tremely high priced. On June 1. 1920, the company acquired the Florence Potash mill and are now engaged in remodeling it preparatory to* starting operations. The present success of the undertaking is due to the indefatigable enterprise and nerve of Mr. G. M. Winkelman, of Kimball, Nebraska. He had become interested in the Marysville alunite deposits. His first glimpse of the Deer Creek deposits convinced him of the great possibilities of this proposition. He immediately transferred his whole equipment and operations to the Copper Butte and has since put heart, soul, time and into the business and remained right on the job. The Winkelman townsite is named in his honor.” . The president of The Aluminum Potash Company of America, Mr. George M. Winkelman, is staying at the Makeever JHotel in Rensselaer for a short period, being induced to visit this state at the solicitation of Claire Rhode, of Pine Village, and partly from having the knowledge of the dire need of potash fertiliser in Indiana. -—s Messrs. Lyons, Rich and Light of Brook, -havp consummated a deal with the Aluminum Potash Company of America by which they acquire considerable financial interests in the Utah corporation and will place one of their members on the board of directors of the potash company and also the sole distributing rights of the company’s potash fertilizer material in the state of Indiana. The firm of Lyons, Rich & Light, of Brook, are now strongly considering the possibilities of erecting a fertilizer mixing plant in Rensselaer or vicinity as a natural consequence of having so wr,tunately secured the potash , iterial of which hardly any the American h£l at practically prohibitive pn«*» *•: I infir an imported article.
