NATURAL GAS IS SHORT.
Supply Has Fallen OF Greatly Within the Lat
Few Days.
PRESSURE IS VERY LOW AGAIN TODAY.


Consumers are complaining that they
are not getting a fun supply of natural
gas these days from the Salt Lake and
Ogden Gas and Electric Light COM
pany. In order to ascertain the cause
of the shortage a News" man today
interviewed Manager Hayward of the
Salt Lake and Ogden company. Mr..
HAYWARD said that II was true that
their patrons We're not getting their
full quota of natural gas bat said the
deficiency was made UP by the manu-
no way the losers.
Applying on the matter Mr.. Hay
ward said that II. l.. Driver & Com
pany were under contract to furnish
the Salt Lake and ogden Gas and
Electric Light company with 100000
cubic feet OF natural gas per day but
that they were not doing 1t. Yesterday
and today he said the pressure was so
low and the flow of gas so much re-
duced that only $4,000 feet We're fur
nished. The extra amount required by
patrons therefore. had to be manufac-
tured and mixed with the natural
product. This Is condition that we
are getting tired of" said Mr., Hay
ward. The cost to supply the de-
hciency is greater than the gross reve-
nues of both the artificial and the
natural gas. We have manufactured
an average of 10000 feet of gas day
for the last year and are compelled to
keep our plant in constant readiness
for any emergency. As n result we
are at continual loss. By that l
mean that we have actually paid out
more money for gas during that
period than all of our revenues from
thai source have amounted to-"
An effort was made to see Mr.. Driver
but 1t was stated that he was at Lake
shore supervising the sinking of more
new wells. practice that seems to be
continually necessary on account OF
the diminished dow from old ones.

Winter Protection.

If we could be sure Of continuous
coat of snow from December until
March. there would be little need of
providing any other kind of protection
in the garden against cold. for snow is
natures own protection and one of the
very best winter coverings for all
plants. 1t is because of the perfect
sheltnr afforded by snow during the
winter in the Arctic regions, that the
short summers there reveal such mar
wells of floral beauty. For the same
reaon, many plant that is wintered
with some difficulty in the United
States or England, seems to thrive ner-
fectly without attention in Siberia or
Labrador. Now, the lesson TO learn
from this, whenever the snow coat is
uncertain. Is that in such places u
snow covering be Appropriated as
nearly as possible. This may be done
very well by the use of soil, or better
yet, by sod cut two inches thick and
laid over the things to be protected.
Take 1T in the care of monthly roses of
the Bourbon, Bengal and Polyantha
classes, If such be bent to the earth
and completely covered with sod, they
Will winter surprisingly well usually.
The same is true of protecting pampas
grass, chrysanthemums and the like.
For the border of hardy flowers we
have always found that 1t is good
treatment each autumn to apply
shovelful of compost or d" forkful of
manure, over the roots of every sub
ject. however hardy The great advan
tage of any kind of winter covering is
that 1t prevents alternate freezing and
thawing and which has a bad effect
on the roots of plants by causing heav-
ing. Even the hardest plants may
receive injury in this way, and this is
the reason why we advocate covering
all such In the small fruit garden
the same kind of covering over the
roots of plants and bushes is beneficial.
