OF Vast Importance.

Get right down to it, the greatest
issue in West Virginia is the saw
ing and care of our natural gas re-
sources. 1t is, indeed, strang,
that the people do not awaken to
the situation that is tapping our
fuel fields, an operation character
lied by extravagant waste, aud
which prom ises to leave us with
out gas IN ten or ii teen years. 1t
is vastly n o'e important to our
people than the railroad rate
question aud the alleged control of
West VIcginia's coal area and
shipping facilities by a railroad
trust or monopoly.
We would think that the present
sorry plight and the experience OF
Indiana and other states that once
we're plentIfulIy supplied with
natural gas, but which are now,
barren of that fuel, would cause
our people to bestir them 80 YES
while there is time aud gas left.
But there doesn't appear to be any
serious interest in the proposition,
aud public sentiment is by no
means aroused and making de-
mands on our public men to have
enacted laws that will save our
gas for ourselves.
Great force pumps are being
used to pump our gas into Pitts.
burg, to the cities of Ohio. and
now a great line is being laid from
this State into CinciEnBti. These
outside towns aud cities are able
to buy gas as cheaply as we, who
are close TO the base of supply, are.
There il no need for manufacture
ing industry in those places to
come TO West Virginia for their
gas fuel it is taken to them. If
that were not go, manufactures
IN astounding mum Der would be
seeking location ia this State They
have to have the fuel, and If hey
cannot get it where they are al
ready located, they will come here
for IT.
Do not let ourselves procrasti-
pate IN this matter Let us profit
by The fate of Indiana, which
furnishes us with very striking
example and a sufficient stimulus
10 get busy. Let us save our gas
for ourselves. 1t can lie done
