POTASH TLA NTH TO
HKSCMH WORK SOON
(Continued from Tage 1, Section 1)
slve. an investment of over $1,500,
000 having been made In the plant,
pipe lines and holdings. The plant
had barely commenced operations
when the shut-down came last fall,
following the signing of the armis
tice. The capital was furnished
Urgely at Lincoln. The plant has a
capacity of from 100 to 200 tons
dally. It secures Its brine rom the
Briggs and Wilkinson lakes to the
north and the Thompson, Young and
Graham lakes to the north. Although
some grinding and shipping Is being
done of last year's product, there Is
nothing definite as to when a re
sumption of potash reduction will be
started.
Potash Reduction Company, Hoff
land This was the pioneer plant In
the field. It It financed by Omaha
capital and has a capacity of from
150 to 200 tons per day. The plant
secures Its brine from Jesse lake on
the north chiefly, although some
brine was secured from Clough lake
on the south. The company has no
royalties to pay. No definite deci
sion had been made up to this morn
ing as to when the plant would start
reduction of potash brine. The
plant can start work In about four
weeks In case a decision Is made to
start up again. A decision Is expect
ed at a meeting of the board of direc
tors held In Omaha today.
There Is practically no activity
among the small potash plants which
are scattered throughout the sand
hills, although the Liberty Potash
Company and the Walker Potash
Company are reported to be getting
ready for operations. It is reported
that the Commonwealth Potash Com
pany which erected a plant at Bird
sell, seven miles east of Alliance, and
which afterward went bandrupt, will
make a settlement with creditors on
a basis of sixty-five cents on, the
dollar.
Potash men wish it understood
that the resumption of potash pro
duction Is in the nature of a test, to
determine whether or not potash can
be produced at a low enough cost,
under present conditions, to compete
with the German product. If a fair
test of sixty or ninety days run
shows that the product can be pro
duced cheaply enough to compete
with the German product, then 4he
Industry will undoubtedly go ahead
on a permanent basis. However,
there is much doubt as to whether
or not potash can be produced on the
bids being received at the present
time from the fertilizer manufactur
ers $Z.00 and IZ.Z5 per unit, wnicn
is equivalent to from $40 to $70 per
ton, depending upon the quality of
the potash salts produced. The bids
of 2.00 per unit come from the fer
tilizer factories in nearby territory
St. Louis, Kansas City, Illinois, In
diana and Ohio points. The bids of
$2.25 come from the far eastern
points, wher ethe freight rate would
be higher.
The owners of lakes containing
potash are making re-adjustments of
royalty contracts with the potash
plants and none of them expect to
receive the high royalties of war
times, when a twenty-per-cent royal
ty brought some lake owners as
high as $2,000 per day. The royal
ties received in the future will prob
ably average not over ten per cent
and will be based to a certain extent
on the ability of the plants to make
both ends meet.
With a prospect of a resumption
of production the potash towns of
Hoffland, Antioch and Lakeside are
"looking up". . Plants will be oper
ated on an economical scale and the
old war days of "to hell with ex
penses, turn out potash" will be re
placed by a period of careful man
agement, low costs, and strict cost
methods, with every expense held
down to the minimum. The potash
industry means not only a great deal
to western Nebraska but It means
much to the entire United States.
The old short-sighted policy of de
pending on Germany for potash
should be replaced by the policy of
home production. No finer potash
is produced anywhere in the world
than that of western Nebraska,
which contains no Ingredients harm
ful to crops and which is soluble In
water, so that the growing of which
It Is an important part.
ALLIANCE BOYS DEFEATED
BY SCOTTSBLUff TEAM
The Alliance base ball team dub-1
bed away another ball game last
Sunday when without rractlce the
boys attempted to take the measure
of the team from Scottsbluff. The
final score was 17 to 8.
A repltitlon of this is very un
likely the remainder of this season.
Since Sunday the players have been
to the park practicing each evening
and are rapidly rounding into that
former form which netted them the
reputation of being the fastest club
in western Nebraska. The next
game on the home diamond will be
played on Monday with the Angora
team which has lost but one game
this year. The match will be a good
one from start to finish and will be a
part of the Labor Day program. A
purse of $100, winner take all has
been hong by the labor organisation.
Other games will follow with the
better teams of this section and you
can safely wager that Alliance will
win its full share of such.
