adopted for holding back the gas in the original rock

This economy came rather late, but enough of

AMERICA THE SECOND NAVAL POWER.
yet unknown

The report of the house naval committee ac
companying the navy appropriation bill embodies
certain facts that ought to be reassurng to those who
fear that we are being left behind in the race for
supremacy on the sea- An inspection of the COM
parative tables of American and foreign construc
ton shows, among other things:
That when the ships now building are finished
we shall be the third naval power IN the world in
paper tonnage and the second in real fighting
strength
That we are building as much as France and
Russia, now the second and third naval powers, put
together.
That we are building almost as much as Great
Britain, and more than Germany, Russia and Japan
combined
That of first-cass battleships the chief strength
of a navy, we are building greater tonnage than
any other power, not excepting England, and more
than France and Germany combined.
That Of armored cruisers, the remaining element
of the battle line, we are building greater tonnage
than any power except England, and more than all
other powers combined aside from England and
France
That our ships now under construction will more
than double the strength of navy, and when they
are finished the navy will be more than three times
as large and five times as strong it was at the out
break of the Spanish war
That our new program of construction provided
in the pending naval appropriation bill is four times
great in tonnage Of fighting ships as that of France
the only country that still stands between us and
second place in the list Of naval powers.
If the Monroe doctrine depends upon the
strength of the American navy as some of its guard
ans say it does it appears to be reasonably protect
ed infant.

THE oREGoNIAN,s SIDE WON.

The decisive defeat of the Simon faction of the
republican party in the Multnomah county primaries
was decided victory for the Oregonian which would
likewise have won decided victory had the Mitchell
faction been defeated. The logic of situation of
this sort ought to be just clear mud to anyone
who ever was committed to the insane asylum for the
benefit of his mental condition.
The two factions have been at it for a long time.
In strongly republican county they have waged
war against each other to the mutual detriment of
each wing of the party and occasionally, as result
of their fight the democratic sprinters have passed
the two struggling elements on the political race
track Two years ago the Smonites lost by few
hundred votes while this year they have gone down to
crushing defeat The Simon faction was most in
the election of an Astoria man to the United States
senate. 1t would the voters of the county have
vigorously repudiated the former senator, whose
showing was miserable one even with the assistance
of his democratic friends.
The unique feature of the situation is the Ore
gonan s attitude. Every one knows Mr.. Scott feels
aggrieved because Of his failure to land himself in
the United States senate, where he might hobnob
with his friend Senator Hoar and the other senators
whom his paper has so long vilifed. Mr.. Scott did
not get the plum, which went to an Astoria mana
rank outsider who had committed the capital offense
of taking up his residence in Astoria. The editor
told friends he hoped the Mitchell faction would win
but we have an idea he had his fingers crossed when
he made the statement However, he saw the hand
writing on the wall and the Oregonian merely sold
its columns at 500 each and permitted each side
to present its claims. Editoriallyit said nothing
Pending the count of the ballots, how could it know
which side it was on? To have previously commit
ted itself would have been to disregard all the ethics
Of diplomacy.
Surely the defeat Of the Simon faction was a
great and lasting victory for the Oregonian.

IDEAL FUEL OF THE UNITED STATES

Had Zoraster pondered the problems Of ex-
ian mountains instead Of along the shores of the
Caspian sea- he would probably not have lacked the
inspiration which gave to his philosophy symbol of
the eternal for the everlasting fires of the Parsees
might be more than duplicated by the springs Of
natural gas in the United States. Indeed, there is
no country in the world which can compare with ours
in its production of this perfect fuel The combined
production of all other countries is not over 11b per
cent Of the quantity produced in the United States
which had in 1902 value of $50 867 668 A large
portion Of the small outside production comes
indeed from our neighbor, Canada.
Mr.. F. H. Oliphant' report on the production of
natural gas in 1902, which the United States geolog
ca survey has just published as an extract from its
annual volume Of mineral resources is full of inter-
estng details about the history, output value, and
uses OF this most satisfactory combustible e-,I
The records of early Investigators and mission
aries show that natural gas has been known to exist
in natural springs in western New York, western
pennsylvania, central West Virginia northeastern
Kentucky and southeastern Ohio for at least $50
years. In ITS General Washington visited burn
ing natural gas spring on the northeast bank Of the
Great Kanawha river in West Virginia, a few miles
east of the present city Of Charleston He was SO i'm
pressed by the phenomenon that he preempted an
of land surrounding the spring and declared it to
be public forever.
The earliest economic use Of natural gas in this
country was probably made in lighting the village
of Fredonia Chautauqua county, N Y, in 1921. The
