Rivers Flow Into Lakes or Lose
Themselves in the Desert.
In the interior of the western part
.of the United States, lying between
the Rocky mountains on the east and
the Sierra Nevada on the west and
extending from southern Oregon to
southern California is an area drain
ed by streams whose waters never
reach the ocean. Many of these
streams discharge into lakes whose
waters are salty or at least brackish
others flow out into areas of arid
sands, by which they are absorbed.
Practically all the streams are peren-
NAL a. .heir sources, but few of them
carry water from source to mouth
throughout the year, for most of these
that might otherwise be perennial are
diverted and the water used for irri-
cation, so that little water is wasted
into their sinks. In this region water
may truly be said to be the most val
liable mineral resource and the nee
entire available supply is fully realix-
ed. Full development of the remark
able resources of this region demands
accurate knowledge of the quantity
of water the streams may be expect
ed to yield, and the acquisition and
dissemination of that knowledge is
part of the duty assigned by law to

their country because it represented

PRICE OF COPPER.
Producers Commended for Their Pat
rotic Attitude.

riotic Attitude.
Difficulties occasioned by having fix
ed too low a price on coal are thought
| to be responsible for the fixing of the
price of copper at 23.5 cents per
pound. One higher than % cents is
said to have surprised the federal
trade commission, which had been
charged with the task of ascertaining
the production costs. That the presi-
dent should have fixed the price 7
cents higher than that at which 80
contributors voluntarily supplied the
government with 100000 pounds of
copper is deemed to bring out with
great clearness the generosity of the
producers. 1t also substantiates the
assertion that the price of Is 2-3 cents
was set without considering economic
facts and was simply the manifesto
ton of patriotic desire to be the first
industry to come forward directly to
help the government and thereby set
an example that others might follow.
that any effort to accumulate copper
supplies would be made at his risk.
1t had the further advantage of enab-
ling the chief of ordnance to utilize
the services of all manufacturers who
could not bid unless the government
furnished the copper.
This cooperation of the copper men
in such an open, altruistc manner has
bers of the federal trade commission
the war Industries board and the
council of national defense. Particu-
lar credit is given to John d. Ryan
hurry Guggenheim, James Mclean
and Rodolphe L. Agassiz. Praise has
also been given #. WolfsOn, who as
secretary of the defense councils cop
per committee, bore the brunt of the
hard work occasioned by the lengthy
negotiations 1t is said that the cop
per interests have taken no offense
at any demand that has been made
upon them. All requirements have
been filled promptly on memoranda
pending the fixing of price. The trade
commission, in particular, is gratified
at the reception given its agents who
investigated cost figures. In most
cases the companies furnished all the
clerical assistance that the examiners
could utilize In no office visited was
there any tendency to hamper the
work of the commissions representa-
tives. In fact the spirit of coopera-
ton was so generally manifest and SO
little selfshness was apparent, that an
official declareds that an equivalent
amount of patriotism on the part of
the public in general would add might
lily to the strength Of the nation.

German war prisoners to the num- Der of 142 passed through Kingman last thursday en route from Pacific coast points to the military intern ment camp at PhiladelR Rhia. In the number were several me comprising the crews of two captured Submarines, The men were conveyed from Tsing- Tau, China, where they were taken prisoner by ihe Japanese early in the war.
 The prisoners were travelling in a special train of Pullmans and appear ed to be enjoying every comfort the United States government could pro vide. Several people at the station when the train passed through re- marked at the contrast of what was their lot and what doubtless would be the lot of American prisoners of war in Germany.
 There were a number of women and children in the party. Some were be- ing transported from China where they were taken prisoner at the fall of Tsing Tau. Others were enemy aliens taken into custodyl at various points on the coast for their out spoken antipathy to the United States because of the war with Ger many.
 All appeared happy and contented with their lot. They were in charge of eight secret service operativees who reported their captives were or derly in their behavior and had not attempted to cause the slightest trouble.

FEED ALLIES AND WIN THE WAR
HOOVER STARTS BIG FOOD DRIVE

Washington, Oct. 2O.-Herbert Hoover, Federal Food Administrator, has completed his plans for a nation wide campaign during the week of Oct. 28,-Nov. 4, for the enrolment of civic forces toward the conservation of the food supply. He has issued a the statement to the people at large, urging their cooperation by saving and the substitution of com modities that cannot be transported. He urges that the feeding and cloth ing of the allies is the duty of ne- cessity, humanity and honor.
 'For us there is no threat of pri- vation. We only wish that our people should eat plenty, but wisely and without waste. Wisdom in eating is to make possible such adjustment in our food consumption, shipping and war necessities as will allow us to fulfill our duty in exports to our all lies.
 Therefore appeal to the churches and to the schools for their assist ance in this crusade; to all the organ izations, social and civic, that they join in this work
 "As a free people we have elected to discharge this duty, not under auto cratic decree but without other re- straint than the guidence of individual conscience.
