"The work will very likely be car ried on in Canada by the Quebec Development Company, of which Mr. Duke is president. This company has been acquiring extensive water power rights in the neighborhood of Lake St. John, and will have works on the Saguenay river. Mr. Duke has oper ated in this region before, and in June of 1914 a dispute arose between him and officials of the Interstate Chemical Corporation over a process for the making of phosphates and certain power rignts. At that time a suit for $8,000,000 was brought against him by persons who feared that they ARRANGING FO ' NEELY SURELY BY TORPEBO TODAY (By Associated Press.) London, Jan. 3.

The loss of life in the sinking of the Persia is still a matter of doubt. Reports from Cairo and Alexandria indicate that 108 sur vivors have been landed. Since four days have elapsed since the vessel was sunk, no further word has been receiv ed from Consul McNeely and there seems to be no doubt that he was drowned. The safety of Charles Grant of Boston having been established, it is thought Mr. McNeely was the only American to perish. The death list will run largely in excess of 200. with the Southern Power Company, and is making use of the power ob tained from the Catawba river. The coy. on the power is considered low by the projectors of the enterprise, but the question is whether it is cheap enough yet to permit the manufacture of nitric acid from the aerial source to be carried on on the extensive scale vhich has been planned. ''The company is using the Pauling process, which was introduced several years ago in Austria where it was invented. It is said to be employed now in the making of nitrates for the ammunition of the Teutonic allies. It depends for its effectiveness upon the high electric heat which releases the nitrogen from air carried through a furnace. "The project resembles the Birke-land-Edye method, which has been worked with much success .at Notod den, Norway, where there are numer ous water-falls. As Norway has been known from time immemorial as a land of cataracts, electric power can be generated at a lower rate there 3 MARKETS NEW YORK STOCKS (By Associated Press.) Peking, Jan. 3.

Travelers returning from the troubled section all say that the ban dits are unusually well provided with modern arms and ammunitions. Many of the rifles used by the outlaws are of Japanese manufacture and practi cally new. Chinese newspapers and many Chinese officialls charge the Japanese with promoting the Mongolian distur bance in support of their opposition to the monarchial movement.

" The plant at Great Falls,, said Mr. Duke has a power of 3,000 kilo wats. The process is a very good one, for it produces large quantities of nitric acid at a low cost, and we are trying to get the cost still lower. We shall keep on producing the acid as we wrestle with the cost of production. I have obtained the rights for the Pauling patents in the United States, Canada and all of South America. Wherever there is plenty of cheap water power it seems to me there is a chance to do business. There have been some experiments carried on at Niagara Falls. " "The government, if it wants cheap nitrates, should encourage the use of water power, and make it easier for manufacturers to have it. There is a good opportunity to use the water power on the Saguenay, and, although the stream is navigable, the question arises as to what extent it will be pos sible to transport nitric acid after it is made. Eventually I think that this process will be the means of turning out large quantities of ferti lizer for the continent. The raw (material is plentiful enough above us, and we .are doing all that we can to protect our technique and to carry on the process in an economical manner."
