WHAT THE GOVERNMENT Is DOING

When gushsr II discharging into the

U1l Well gas well has become ig-
w,.4. nited and is sending a
great blast Of flame into
the sky. the situation is spectacular
and the waste IL evident. Until COM
paratively recently these were regard
ed as the great losses in oil and gas
fields. but since the, United States bu-
reau of mines took up the work Of ex-
pertly directing operations In the oil
and gas fields on Indian lands in Okla
homa 1t has been demonstrated that the
greatest losses are due to insidious
underground wastes heretofore not
even suspected by many operators.
While the operator is watching the
hole he has drilled with the expecta-
ton that whatever oil or gas is tapped
will come to the surface through it,
these substances, 1t has been found,
may be playing all manner Of tricks
underground. Thus the gas may mi

and may make its exit by well
thousands Of feet away or may take up
new subterranean quarters without
coming to the surface at all. Oil may
make similar journeys below the sur

valuable supplies of either gas or oil
may be invaded by water and the fuels

liable deposits of the petroleum prod

covered.
In many cases, the bureau has found

sealing of certain sands by pumping
In liquid mud. Considerable success has
been attained by the bureaus agents
on Indian lands with these methods
and an educational campaign is now
being waged among operators on nom
government lands to have the processes
generally adopted. Logs Of wells and
diagrams illustrating underground
wastage and the remedies have been
distributed and many converts to the
government methods have been secured
The bureau points out that the great

fields are treated as a unit, for when
eminent tracts while haphazard prac-
tices are in vogue just across the boun-

are practically fruitless. Largely be-

Among the newer methods in oil we'll

bureau is the suction pump method by
which oil is drawn from surrounding
territory: and the less generally known
compression method which applies air

periments will lead to methods that

Local Health
Conditions.

the health conditions at the capital:
THE surgeon, in his report, refers to
the general sanitary condition Of Wash
ington, which, he says, deserves and
possesses the somewhat unenviable
reputation of being a very unhealthy
place of residence, and enumerates a
number Of causes now existing here
which tend to impair the health and
shorten the lives of the people compos-
ing our community. Among the causes
are the improper cleaning of the streets,
the filthy condition of the canal. the
imperfect and insufficient drainage of
the city, the practice of allowing the
deposit of filth within the city limits
and the erection of large number of
tenements on the outskirts of the city.
which are entirely destitute of con-
veniences requisite for cleanliness or
even decency. In conclusion, Surgeon
Reyburn remarks:
LAS there is every probability that
we will have a visit from the cholera
next season, 1t may be well for our
city authorities to consider whether
they will not be in some degree respon-
sible for a portion of the mortality that
will ensue If the main causes of dis
ease are not, as far as practicable. re-
moved The ravages of cholera have
always been found to. be most de-
tilated localities, and it is believed
there is no city in the Union in which
the conditions necessary for its increase
and development are more abundant
than in this city"

A Time for Calm Thinking.

There has never been better time
for the newspapers throughout the
country than the present to show the
quality Of their leadership of the ma
tion's thoughts and aims.
The usually grave responsibilities Of
those who are the head Of our nation
are graver at the present moment and
IL behooves the newspapers TO stand
back of them Ito man" not through
blatant. namboyant or boastful utter
ances, but by dignfied and none the
less steadfast upholding of their words
and actions.
At no other time in the worlds his
tory have newspapers played so con-
spicuous part in shaping the affairs
II nations as at the present. II is
at such times as these that the minds
of people in general, whether in our
country or in another, are easily in
famed. and ii is oftentmes the word
Of the newspaper that can and does
either soothe with calm and strong
words or kndle the fatal spark with
violent utterances.
II il only the calm word that has
ever helped any nation at any time and
It has very often been the violent one
which has brought about calamity.
The calm word il the stronger because
IL is said with treason The violent
one reacts because not reason but blind
passion has gone before.
Our patriotism demands that we
consider in no light even what we say
in the printed word. We must with
caImness and dignity hold in check
the stormings of unreasoning ignor-
ance We must none the less stand
back Of our leaders to the very last.
Then. come what may. we know that
we have done our duty as newspaper
men and Americans. and we can and
will continue TO do it.
