DISTRIBUTING NATURAL GAS.
Sent Long Distances Through Pipes by
Means of Air Pressure.

Sent Long Distances Through Pipes by
Means of Air Pressure.
The transmission or conveyance of
gas under pressure to long distances,
which was an unsolved problem some
20 years ago, is now fixed fact, repre-
sented by the present use of about
T5,000,O00 feet of pipe used in the dis
tribution of natural gas. On the first
discovery of this article, says the Phila-
delphia Bulletin, the pressure at the
we'll was sufficient to drive it through
the pipes almost as far as desired, but
this pressure declining some additional
methods were necessitated, the we'll
known air compressor being resorted
TO to pump the gas; and, as showing
its efficiency, there are at Greenland in
Indiana, gas wells which have long car
ried supplies to Chicago. There are
two eight-inch pipe lines used, the gas
being pumped distance of about 16O
miles. There is at Redky, Ind, u
pumping station of this character that
supplies the towns of Springfield, Tiffin,
Liman, Dayton, Piqua and other places
in the western part of Ohio. Near
Pittsburgh there is q gas plant which
pumps 20,o0O,0oo cubic feet every "a
hours for use in mills, the pumping of
this being without the least difficulty;
and the Philadelphia company pumps
many millions of cubic feet day.
There are New England air compressors
that are pumping every day, at various
stations in the United States, the enor-
nous quantity Of nearly 1oO,ooo,oOO
cubic feet.

erly part of Los Angeles county, and,
while not content with absorbing third
of the area of this county. 1t embraces n
large slice of Kern county and laps over
into San Bernardino. 1t is a great ele-
waited valley. averaging $500 feet above
sea level, bounded on the north ana
west by the Tehachepi mountains, on
the south by the Sierra Madres, and on
the east by the LoveJoy buttes. 1t Is
ninety miles long and from ten to forty
miles wide. In area 1t Is a small empire,
in which the state of Delaware could
easily repose.
Several large streams traverse Its
plains: raging torrents in winter, tiny
threads of water or dry arroyos in sum-
mer. It's soil is a rich sandy loam
formed from the decomposition or the
granite mountains which surround 1t. A
thick blanket of chapparal covers the
ground, consisting of sage and thorn
brush, cacti and the giant yucca palm,
while along the foothills in close com
partnership with the juniper and the
greasewood, the wild almond. olive.

phetic exactitude the future use of these
vast plains.
In the spring time the Antelope val
ley Is carpeted with flowers of every
description, which, with the miles upon
miles of growing grain. make sight
beautiful to behold. In summer and fall
the country assumes the conventional
brown of California, only relieved now
and then by an occasional patch OF al
faIfa or orchard of almonds or prunes.
The climate is similar to most of the
interior valleys Of the stakeholder

great desert on the east and the noun

In the center of the valley lies the
great Lancaster artesian belt of 10000
acres, with several hundred flowing

HAVE USED ALL THREE
And the Result Is an Almost Perfect
System
The Flood Waters Of Little Rock Creek for .
Fruitful and Heathiul Section Of Coun'
try-Wort Completed

Science, money and labor have Just
completed one of the best irrigation sys-
TENS in the country. The company
owning the system Is known as the
South Antelope Valley Irrigation COM
pany, and yesterday this company paid
off the contractors, Ballard Il King or
Denver, who announced their work as
being completed. This irrigation COM
pany is a syndicate of eastern capital
lists who about a year ago purchased
the Palmdale ditch and improved 1t
greatly.
In addition, these gentlemen have
purchased 5000 acres of land around
Palmdale, and have acquired the Alpine
reservoir site, a natural storage basin
located in the mountains a few miles
south of Palmdale, an interest in which
thriving town has also passed to these
gentlemen.
The canal just finished is the largest
irrigation canal In Southern California.
This great ditch Is designed to carry the
flood waters of Little Rock creek to the
storage reservoir above mentioned. 1t
IS eight miles long. ten feet wide on the
bottom. six feet deep and fifteen feet
wide on top. 1t Is planned to carry $4,000

Second-A government cannot create
value by fiat
Third-1f government could create
value by fiat taxing would be useless.
Fourth--The fact that taxes are neces-
sary for governments existence Is
proof positive that governments are
without the power to create value.
Fifth-The more general the common
consent to a standard of value the
greater is it's stability
Sixth-Stability is an essential for a
standard of value.
T., Seventh-In proportion as the medium
of exchange based on a standard Of value
is variable, so does commerce tend to
become a gamble.
Eighth-Those who suffer most from
a variable standard are workers and
borrowers.-The worker both from di-
minished employment, due to uncertain
returns to enterprise, and because he is
unable to vary the expressed wage to
the varying standard as rapidly as the
dealer in his supplies or as his employer.
The borrower because the lender asks
an extra margin for security against
varying standard, which makes the loan
cost the borrower more. A note in cir
culation by government action is not q
standard of. value A government note
Is a promise to pay. 1t is accepted and
Issued on a standard of value expressed
or implied. The value of government
note depends on the resources of the
government and on it's intention to use
its resources to pay it's obligations. A
government note is OF the same nature
and has the same ultimate limitations
as the note of a person. The difference
is only in degree.
Tenth-When government gives free
coinage to a metal it stamps and guar
antees the weight and fineness of the
metal.
Eleventh-Free coinage is only justi-
fable where a unit of the metal to be
coined is by common consent the ac-
cepted standard Of value. upon which
exchange is based
Twelfth--The principle underlying
this is that the fiat of a government
creates no value. 1t may promise a value
or 1t may regulate the expression of
value. In the exercise of their proper
function its regulation of money is of
the same nature as it's regulation Of
weight or measures

grains thrive there without irrigation
and the yield is enormous. Only few
years ago not an acre Of this vast terri

One of the best authorities on olive
culture in the country has stated as his
opinion that there is no better soil or
condition in the United States for olive
culture than in the Antelope valley.
The olive thrives in all sections Of the
valley, and the trees are clean and
bright. No scale or smut was ever
known. At Carter's place, on Big Rock
creek, are bearing trees and many
young orchards are being planted by
horticulturists who have faith in this
product. But the almond seems to have
found Its home in this favored section,
where 1t grows marvelously and bears
prodigious crops.
