VIM. and o. P. ]. have here
again initiated the animal that
wears bristles by not being at all
baahful in demanding the earth
with a high board fence around
it. The county auditor, how
ever, ignored the petition and
took his own initiative in prepar-
ing the ballot; and, so far as we
are able to ascertain, neither
asked nor received advice from
anyone, outside of the Marvick-
Engstrom-Jorgenson petition.
Again, as further proof that
the Foss Marvick Jorgenson-
Prestwick bunch are fully organl-
zed, the official ballot shows the
following list of delegates to the
state convention: L. VIM. Foss
heads the list. Then comes Ole
Moe of Summit, Gust G. Carlson,
w. F. Jones, w. s. Duel, A. 9.
Swanson, w. j. Smith, Theo. A.
Gunnarson, liver M. Hagen, Paul
Sievert, o. X. Sather, Hans K.
Krogstad, and last on the list
comes the financial end of the
concern, Henry Helvig. If they
had no organization or no slate,
why would L. VIM. have thought
of these delegates? Truly wonder
full foresight to be displayed with
out any organization or any slate.
Four years ago this same ag-
gregation put up a slate in direct
opposition to the spirit of the
Primary Law. At that time they
tried to lend responsibility to their
nefarious scheme by calling in men
from the different precincts. The
people, at that time put the
! stamp Of disapproval on their ac-
tions in no uncertain terms. Now
, the L. VIM. Fo.s aggregation
think they have learned some
thing. They know that the pee
pic will not knowingly sanction
the violation of any law, and
consequently l.. VIM. sent OUT
his call to the clan "cn the
quiet" We don't believe the
people of this county will stand
for such tactics
Everybody except the Foss-
Marvick Jorgenson Prestwick

been a disposition to let the can

party.
The Standard has believed that
there was no occasion at this

in our Judgment, there would

Great Falling Off with This
Country on Account Of
the War There.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Mar. 90
Trade of the United States with
Mexico is showing the effect of the
disturbed business conditions in that
country This is especially true
with reference to exports which show
e much greater decline than i'm
ports. Exports to Mexico during the
last year show fall of about twenty
per cent when compared with i'm
mediately preceding year, while i'm
ports show also slight decline but
less than that OF exports. The total
value of exports to Mexico during
the twelve months ending with Jan
uary, 1912, the latest figures of the
Bureau of Statistics, Department or
Commerce and Labor, is $52 ,271,-
9s7, against sG4,G71 csc in the
corresponding months OF the imme-
diately preceding year, decline of
about twelve million dollars. or an
average falling OF OF little more
than million dollars month dur

leo during the same period amount
ed to s59t227, $40, against $59,sS1,-
$50 during the corresponding period
of the preceding year. being less
than one million dollars decrease.
This falling off of twelve million
dollars in the exports to Mexico in
the twelve months ending with Jan

trade of other parts of the world.

NATION WILL
STOP WASTE
OF GAS SOON
Oil Experts of Federal Blu
reau of Mines Out
lines the Plan.
UTILITY OF WET GAS
Steel Containers Are to Be
Used for Conveying
Liquifed Gas.
UTILITY OF WET GAS

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Mar 20
The waste of millions OF dollara
worth of gas which is going ON each
year in the petroleum fields OF the
country may be stopped in the near
future by plan made public today
by the Federal Bureau OF Mines.
Briefly, the plan as outlined by oil
experts of the bureau is to take the
so-called wet gas" found in ali
parts of the oil fields and obtain
from 1t a liquefed gas that can be
used for illuminating purposes. This
liquehed gas, which is by-product
of the natural gas. is held under
high pressure in steel containers
and can be shipped to localities that
do not have gas system. In this
way, small towns, hotels and coun-
try estates may have the advantage
of gas illumination at fair cost.
This gas, it is thought, will also
prove an excellent illminant for
lighthouses and lightships and other
public works of similar nature
that must be located at a distance
from commercial supply Of gas.
Irving G. Allen, the oil expert, Ia
discussing this by-product of natural
gas says; 1.-The possibility Of hand
ling this liquetied gas in the way
that Pintsch and Blau gases are
handled opens a new field of compar-
atively great Importance in the ma
tural gas industry and should add
materially to the Investments made
in the so-called natural gasoline"
industry.
There is no difficulty nor secrecy
in the production and use OF tho
liqueaed natural gas product. The
third or fourth stage compressor
product must. however, be treated
as liquefied gas, and no attempt
This product of natural gas is
equal in quality to any of the sim
liar manufactured gases; 1t is very
clean and pure ard can be handled
in the same way as they are. The
containers can be easily supported
and the turning OF their valves
makes supply OF gas available.
The highest economy in It's use for
Illuminating purposes will be at
tanned with inverted burners pro-
yided with manssls. burners of THE
type being especially adapted for
gases of high heating value"
Dr.. l. C. White, state geologfst Is
West Virginia, in referring to the
waste of natural gas in the United
States said recently: "At this very
minute, natural gas, the purest form
of fuel. ideal in every respect, self
transporting. is passing into the air
from uncontrolled gas wells, from
oil wells, from giant flambeaus, FROM
leaking pipe lines. and many other
methods of waste at not less than
one billion cubic feet daily and
probably much more. The record
OF waste of this best and purest fuel
is national disgrace. The heating
value of billion cubic feet OF ma
turar gas Is equivalent to that Of
one million Bushels of coal. There
can be no doubt that for every bar
rel OF oil taken from the earth there
have been wasted more than ten
times It's equivalent in heating
power, or weight, of this best of all
fuels; and that much more than
half of this frighttul waste could
have been avoided by proper and
slight additional expenditures in oil
production"
