MORE GAS BEING USED
Output Of Natural Product Breaks
Record in 1915.
Quantity Consumed Exceeds by Nearly
$1,000, 100000 Cubic Feet, tho
Previous High Mark.

The United States continues to In
crease its production Of natural gas, In
spite of the exhaustion Of fields in some
parts of the country. Statistics pre-
pared by Uncle Sam show that more
natural gas was produced and con-
sumed In the United States than In,
any other year.
The quantity used was 62S SIS, 842,-
600 cubic feet, which exceeds by near
ly $1,000, 100000 cubic feet, or 6 per
cent, the former record, established In
1914.
The average price Of this gas at the
point Of consumption was 1912 cents
thousand cubic feet, and its total mar
ket value was $1O1, 81, 1881, a gain OF
0.22 cent in unit price and Of $780,
S57, or 7.6 per cent. in total value COM
pared with the figures for 1914.
Credit for the increased production
Of natural gasC belongs, in the order
given, to Ohio, Oklahoma, West Vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania, Kansas and Cali
fornia, which together produced near
ly 10000, 100000 cubic feet more in 1915
than in 1914. Significant increases i'm
portant locally but unimportant as af-
fecting the production of the entire
country, were credited to Arkansas.
Wyoming and Missouri.
The principal beneficiaries of the
increased production of natural gas
were, in the order named, Pennsyl-
vania, Oklahoma, Ohio, California and
Kansas, which together consumed near
ly 3S,O00,OO0,OOO cubic feet more In
1915 than in 1914.
OF the total production Of natural
gas in 1915, 1t is estimated that 217,-
202, $4,000 cubic feet, or 85 per cent,
was distributed to 2,195,01 domestic
consumers at an average price of 1882
cents thousand cubic feet, and that
the remaining 65 per cent was distrib-
uted to 1888 industrial consumers at
an average price of OF cents thou
sand. Compared with the correspond
ing statistics for 1914 these figures in
dicate, with regard to the gas supplied
to domestic consumers, gains of per
cent in quantity, 6 per cent in the num-
Der of consumers, and OBS cent in av-
erage price; with regard to the gas
supplied to industrial consumers, gains
Of 6 per cent in quantity, 3 per cent
| in the number of consumers, and OH
cent in-nverage price. The percentage
Of the total quantity consumed for
domestic purposes was slightly greater
| in 1915 thar in 1914.

PAPER PRODUCTION GROWING
Uncle Sans Reports Show Gain OF
24.1 Per Cent in Output From

The United States produced 1882, 147,-
600 worth Of paper and wood pulp in

cent over the value of the production
In 1909, which was $267. 657, 900.
To produce this amount Of paper In
1914 required capital Of 1854, 1926, 900,
nm increase of 800 per cent over the

Border Resident Believes Bandit Can

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines. March 2S.-"It is our
opinion that Villa will never be cap
tured by either the Mexicans or the
United States troops" declares Horace
E. Stevens, Of Ell Paso, Tex. in a let
ter to his friend, P. e. McClenahan,
state inspector of high schools here
tHe will evade them in the very
rough part of the Sierra Madre noun
tains where he is able to hide for
years because he has such a strong
following in that district"
Mr.. McClenahan was for some time
a teacher in a normal school at Las
Cruces, N. M, and while there wrote
many magazine articles concerning
that romantic region. He Is quite ia
miliar with the country along the bor-
der line and of conditions there. One
of the men killed at Columbus, Mr..
Miller, was a former student Of Pro-
fessor iMcClenahan and he knew him
and his brother intimately. Mr.. Stew
ems in his letter to Professor Mo-
Clenahan says further:
Il believe the press dispatches have
given a fairly correct report of the
situation. as regards Mexico. The Co
lumbus affair, in which Mr.. Miller was
killed. was horrible in the extreme. The
newspapers had contained warnings
for several days that Villa was coming
to the border and the night of the at
tack the commanding officer received
warning that the Mexicans were ap-
preaching Columbus. but paid no at
tention to the warning.
"All the soldiers were at a dance
that night until late hour and the
MeXicans came in and stole their ma
chine guns, supplies and nearly 100
head of horses. 1t was two hours be-
fore the soldiers got into action and the
Mexicans driven out.
ut seems to US at the border that
this is an awful reflection on our army,
when after five years of watchful watt
ing on the border such an act should
be committed and then take the army
six days before they could organize
sufficiently to pursue Villa"
Adjt.-Gen. Guy E. Logan, head Of the
Iowa National Guard, does not believe
that Villa will be captured. His ia
miliarity with the country and the
hiding places Of the mountains and HE
long career as bandit chief which
has developed his resourcefulness to-
gether with, the advantage he has OF
being among his own people will make
it an extremely difficult matter to cap
