G"HE news item carried in last

OF 81. Louis. for g. miles Of railway,
extending from Lubbock. southwesterly
through Brownfield. the county seat OF
Terry county. and p miles beyond. is
the most important piece OF good news
that FL Paso could have received as a
New Years gift said Z r Burgess.
The most important factor in the
future upbuiidinE of the city Of Il
Paso is the opening of direct railway
communication from e Paso. through
Carlsbad and Roswell into the Texas
Panhandle. TO connect this city with
either Roswell or Amarillo. or. much
better still. with both. Several years
ago A. CoIrcheSne and other public
spirited citizens spent much labor and
money in advancing the project for the
Fl PasO-Carlsbad short line railway
connection. but times were then rather
bad throughout the country. and work
had TO be abandoned for the time. This
railway Connection however Is logical
and inevitable. and u can be put in

year 1917. II Fl Paso viii take hold
OF her end OF the enterprise in the
characteristic Fl Paso way. and in the
same spirit which has JUST been shown
by the progressive citizens Of Lubbock.
Few people in FL PasO have any ade-
quate idea Of the wonderful resources
OF the Texas Panhandle. or the marvel
1us development OF that section which
has taken place during the last .
years Between 1900 and 1910. many
OF the counties in the Texas Panhandle
grew from population Of few hun
dred souls 10 5000. 10000 5000. and
even 10000 and the development in
wealth and population mas continued
Al an even more rapid rate since 1910
The Panhandle IS the natural trade
territory OF Il Paso. whenever direct
railway communication is established
between this city and Lubbock and
Amarillo II is not improbable that
within another decade the Texas Pan
population as large IS that OF the state
or Kansas today Fl PasO furnishes its
logical trading center and that Couu-
try would. IN a few years. provide the

Harvesting the Volcano to

"HEX are trying in italy brilliant
experiment in the use Of volcanic

Near Volterra. in Tuscany, there are
volcanic blow-holes. or vents, in the
crust OF the earth. through which
superheated steam is blown out with
great force and considerable regularity
from some apparently inexhaustiole
source beneath These 'suffionT- have
been known for many years. and nave
been utilized in the production OF
boraN and bOric acid, with which the
steam is strongly charged
some Of the Inhabitants Of the re-
zion have also. for long time, been
accustomed TO employ this volcanic
stea.-l for heating their houses.
About Is years ago prince Ginori-
Cont determined to utilize this natural
source OF steam power Tor the produc-
ton Of mechanical energy and thus he
became a pioneer in the employment
OF the internal forces of the earth for
the service of man. He found that
near the village of Larderelle the steam
issuing from the vents had an average
temperature of $50 degrees centigrade.
and that a single bore could produce,
theoretically. from 1000 TO 1000 horse
power.
Applying the steam in an ordinary
40 horsepower engine, he found that il
worked well except that 1t corrOded
the metal of the engine through the
borax salts and the sulphuretted hydro
gen and other gases which il contained.
This difficulty has recently been over
come by using the natural steam not
directly in the engine, but Indirectly.
in the place OF fuel. for heating an
ordinary mUlti-tubUlar boiler. Thus it
was found practica bic TO drive a 200
horsepower cOudeusiuE steam turbine
connected with an electric generator.

Proper Conduct Of a Strike

temperate judgment IS shown in the conduct of the

cut OF 1900 employees of the New CorneIa Copper
pany the majority stopped work after having made
certain demands which the company felt unable 70
grant. About 500 have gone back to work now, and
the strike IS practically at an end
The strike has been remarkable for the fact that
there has been armed conflict no bloodsned no
tempt the part of the company to import strike
breakers no eviction OF strikers from company prop
erty, and that but 81 persons arrested OF whom
10 discharged and only eight held to the superior
court The sheriff Of Pima county and IS deputies

there any demand for troops
