partners, Bowen, Coates, ct al are really in sympathy with the /.

have stood for years, and we. can easily answer the question by
asking another. Is it not a matter of record that Townley and his
followers headed off any legislation that would tend to curb that
band of loafers? And is it not a fact that Townley and his part
ners tried to saddle the !. w WIS onto the farmers of this state
this fall? It is an established fact that Townley and his partners

line. But Mr.. Townley said, NO, and his word was law and not a
scrap of legislation could be gotten through the House that would
even say to the l. W. WIS that they must behave themselves.
Later this spring did not Townley and his pets try to form a COM

DEEP SALT BED.

In Kansas a deep we'll struck rock
salt at 600 feet below the surface and
penetrated 600 feet of rock salt in
beds from so to 60 feet thick, accord
ing to the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior.
A large area in this state is underlain
by salt, which is mined by many
shafts and obtained by pumping brine.
Drilling for oil in Texas and Louis
lana has revealed the presence of ire
mendously thick deposits of rock salt
at a depth of a few hundred feet.
Thickness of 1000 feet are common,
and one drill hole passed through
more than 5000 feet of rock salt.
Most of the salt made in Utah is
produced by e~vaporating the water of
Great Salt Lake, and in California by
~evaporating sea, water. These sour
ces are inexhaustible and the limit of
production by solar evaporation will
therefore never be reached.
