POTASH FOUND IN DESERT.
Land Withdrawn From Entry Until
Value Is Determined.

Potash deposits of unknown but pos
sibly great value have been located by the
United States geological survey as a
result of the search authorized by Con-
gress during the past field season. The
location is known as the Columbia marsh.
a spot in the desert on the line of the
Goldfield railroad in Nevada and between
Esmeralda and Mineral counties. While
the commercial value of the deposit has
not been accurately determined, the land
has been temporarily withdrawn from
entry by presidential proclamation and
the deposit Will be further investigated.
The sink where the potash was found
IS an old lake bed. Six wells were sunk
and the potash content OF the mud and
sand samples was found to average some
thing over - per cent. The richness of
the deposit seemed to increase with the
depth of the wells though none was car
ried lower than fifty feet.
The mud samples had to be carried to
the surface through numerous water leads
that We're struck and there was reason
to believe that some if not all of this
water was rich i'll potash salts. Samples
of the water We're taken for analysis, but
through an accident they We're lost be-
fore they reached the laboratory here in
Washington, and this part of the work
Will have to be repeated. The marsh
withdrawn from entry is about forty
square miles in area

FREIGHT CARS WELL HANDLED.

of Railroads.

Increased efficiency III the handling of

Chairman Lane of the interstate COM
merce commission by Arthur Hale, gen

that the American freight car beat the
record for efficiency"
That they mean much TO American rail-
roads is indicated by the fact that, with
out any increase i'm efficiency il would
have required 1Jo,00D additional cars to
perform the same service, These cars
would have cost the roads a total of

THE PROBLEM OF RAILWAY SER.
VICE

The problem of railway service is to
reconcile three factors-the corpora
tons, the employees and the public.
The corporations, unless some relief
is given them, seem in danger of be-
ing ground between the other two. The
employees every two or three years de-
mand increased compensation, and II
that demand ID submitted to arbitra-
ton they generally get as much as
they expect, but not being all that
they ask for, they thus reserve to
themselves the privilege of trying
again within a comparatively short
time. They have nothing to lose by
so doing, and the probability of win
ming is all in their favor. The public
also makes its demand, and as rule
ii is not unreasonable. 1t embraces
safety and promptness, the transpor-
tation of both passengers and freight,
and their delivery in good condition.
Railroad service. as it is advertised,
assumes its ability to meet these con.
ditions. and the public is within its
liShto III lOlullS II W Nlldi
contract.
But the public also demands that
when a strike of employees is threat.
ened the railroads shall meet them
half way and submit their differences
to arbitration. The board that makes
the award, however, is not the same
that has the authority to say what
rates shall be charged and what gen
eral conditions shall be imposed. The
interstate commerce commission does
that. and there is no team work with
the other body Independent and unre-
lated decisions are made. The rail
roads have asked for the privilege of
raising rates. Perhaps they will be
permitted to do 50, and perhaps not.
In justice that petition should be
granted. Let the public help TO bear
the increased burden which indirectly
il is often the means OF having inn
posed. Unless this is done conditions
will in a short time become intoler-
able for the transportation companies;
the business of investors will suffer.
The situation is nearing point where
a reaction seems bound to set in
