DR. CONDRA CHECKS SURVEY
OF STATE POTASH FIELDS
Several Plants in Northwest Have
Total Daily Output of Nearly
Four Tons
Dr. O. K. Condra. geography and
conservation department, and party
returned Sunday from a trip to the
potash fields in the northwestern part j
of the state. The object was to checK
the survey of the fields and to visit a
few potash plants in western Ne
braska. This survey of the potash fields was
made this summer. The work done
this year consisted for the most part
of mapping the locations of the vari
ous lakes, and collecting samples.
The work was by no means easy.
Sometimes it was necessary to run
a line for a distance of four miles to
get accurate results.
In all, the survey covered about 350
lakes, located in southern Sherman,
northeastern IMorrUl, northern Gar
den and southwestern Cherry coun
ties. There are thousands of the
lakes in this district. Some of them
are no larger than n mere pond, while
others cover a quarter section of land.
They range in depth from a few inches
to a few feet. Some potash is found
in the lakes, but the most of it comes
from below the lake beds. It is
pumped up from a depth of from ten
to thirty feet. There may be as many
as 200 pumps, in a single lake.
The potash is reduced from the al
kali waters in the lakes. It is pumped
through pipes to the plants where
i is boiled down to a high degree
of concentration and brought through
different processes to a solid state. It
is finally ground and placed in bags
for shipment to all parts of the coun
trv. The southern states use more of
it than any other district.
There are now four big companies
producing potash. Two of the plants
are at Antioch, and one each at Hoff
Jand and Lakeside. These are lo
cated along the Burlington, from four
teen to twenty-eight miles east of Ai
liance. A large plant is now being
built a Antioch, and plans are being
made for the erection of two or three
more. The total output is three or
four tons daily. About twenty per
cent of this is potash.
The survey work on hand will be
finished by November, the next thing
will be the chemical work, to be done
in the laboratories of the University.
Next year some more detailed studies
of this work will be undertaken by
the department.

The department of pharmacy re
ceived a shipment of chemicals and
drugs yesterday from Chicago. The
shipment was delayed six weeks as
the Chicago firm had difficulty obtain
ing the supplies.
"It is getting to be quite an event
to receive an order of such chem
icals," Dean R. A. Lyman, head of
the department of pharmacy, said,
pointing to the boxes and barrels that
were being unpacked.
Most of the carefully wrapped pack
ages come from the Asiatic countries
and are valued highly. Their cost has
advanced from 100 per cent to 1000
per cent. Dean Lyman estimated.
This is caused by uncertain trade
conditions.

THE languorous charm of the
Hawaiian native instruments so
moving in appeal, so observably
in vogue is strikingly characteristic
of the Ukulele. Its tone possesses that
curiously beautiful timbre, that exotic
charm of tonal quality which has
made these instruments so sensation
ally popular.
The Ukulele has a pleasing grace of
form. The finer models are made
of genuine Hawaiian Koa wood. It
m is much in request today among the
smarter college and other musical
organizations. .
It is easy to learn. Its price includes an
Instruction Book.
Hawaiian Steel Guitar
Every chord struck upon this typically rep
resentative Hawaiian instrument is marked
by a weird, plaintive harmony and strangely
