nope that on
B will pass 8. law providing for the
construction of many national reser-
voirs. In this respect Wyoming stands
in a favorable position, for the eason
that several reservoir sites, including
the excellent one west of this city,
have been surveyed and a report made
thereon.
The report made by Captain Chit
tenden upon the site west of this city
is very encouraging, in view Of the
fact that it is entirely probable the
government will take hold of the prop
osition Of reclaiming the arid lands in
a large way. In speaking of the basin,
the captain says: las a storage prop
osition, it Is at once apparent that this
basin is too large for the two Laramie
rivers to maintain to advantage. That
is, the supply available, compared with
the loss from evaporation, is not suf
ficient to develop the full economy of
the site. II other streams can be
brought in, then it may indeed be a
most feasible and advantageous pro-
ject. To ascertain the practicability
of getting additional waters for the
reservoir, l had two barometric recon
~naissances made across the range of
mountains thai separates the Laramie
and the North Platte rivers. There
was apparently a difference of eleya'
ton between the Laramie at Woods
Landing (above h%eadgate) and the
between 400 and 500 feet, the latter
point being the higher. This would
give ample slope for a ditch or TUNE,
OF large dimensions to carry 1000 GU
bic feet per second, and an average
supply of 500 feet could doubtless be
derived from this source. AS 500 Gu
bic feet per second meal nearly 1858,
900 acre-feet per annum, it is plain tina,
a very large expenditure would be jus
Unable to secure it. The Laramie site
would be more advantageous for NORTH
Iiiu a oitN III a. va
ley Of the latter stream, because the
water could be more advantageously
distributed in the one case than in the
other
Again, Captain C%hittenden says: "It
the cost of securing an additional SOC
feet per second from the North Platte
drainage be estimated at 1000, 00O
land l believe 1t could be secured for
one-half or three-fourths Of that SUM
the total s per acre foot will fall to
$3.47. 1t is thus seen that the Lara
mic reservoir is not an expensive stor-
age proposition even when restricted
to the two streams considered. When
extended to a larger field, it becomes
an exceptionally economical one"
Aere seems TO be unity Of action be-
all the advocates of the reclaim.

AN UNNECESSARY WAR.

The needlessness of the whole Phil
ippine war, which could have been pre-
vented at the outset if the admins
tration at Washington had been less
arrogant and dictatorial in its state

apd more apparent as the Filipiros
themselves become better acquainted

how the latter received a full explara-

Judge Taft, providing for education
and progress and for municipal and

OIL REFINERY FIGURES.
A Special Census Bulletin Giving
Cost and Amount of reduction.

Cost and Amount of reduction.
WASHINGTON, April 5.-The census Of
flee to-day issued a bulletin on the indus-
try of petroleum refining, prepared by E.
w. Parker, of the geological survey, as
an export special agent of the census. 1t
shows that to produce refined petroleum to
the value of S123, 929, 1884 materials to the
value of s102, 1855, 341 were consumed, show
ing a difference in value between the raw
material and the finished product much
smaller than is common in industries of a
more complicated character. The value of
the products of the establishments engage
ed in this industry has increased ass per
cent during the decade. Notwithstanding
that there has been a decrease in the
number of reineries, there has been an in
crease of 7 per cent. in the number of
wage earners, and IA per cent. in the
amount of wages paid. The report says:
at is a somewhat notable fact that L. 199
wage earners were employed by the 81
establishments operating the rs refineries,
the statistics of which are included in this
report, being an average of 13 employees
to each refinery.
THE invested capital is $95. 227, s92, which
represents the value of lands, machinery,
tools and the live capital required to
carry on the business, but does not in
clude the capital stock of any of the cor
porations. The value Of the products from
the use of this capital was sl23 .929, 3S4 to
produce which involved an outlay of &c.
717,0S4 for wages. s102, &s. 341 for raw ma
~terials, and $3.50, S51 for miscellaneous ex-
penses. The census statement, however,
takes no sognizance of the cost of selling
manufactured articles, or of interest on
capital invested, or of the mercantile
losses incurred in the business, or of de-
probation in plant. The value of the pro-
duct given is the value as obtained or
fixed at the refinery itself. OF the 42,24.-
64 barrels of refined petroleum produced
in 1899, not less thar JIG, 566, 500 barrels, or
nearly 40 per cent, were exported to for
eign markets.
The United States is not only the largest
exporter of refined petroleum, but its trade
in this commodity has rapidly increased
during the census decade, and is appar-
emily susceptible of great increase in the
future"
