Washington Feb 14 President Washburn of the American Cyanide Company outlined how the United States could manufacture nitrates for gunpowder by electric power from navigable streams if cut off from Chile. A plant would require about eighteen months to begin nitrates production. Feasible water power sites include the Columbia River in Oregon and Mussel Shoals in Alabama. He estimated that developing this cyanide industry could cut the annual fertilizer bill of American farmers from 175 million dollars by half.
