UPSETTING OLD BELIEF

A revolution in chemical science which will have a wide bearing on human affairs, was prophesied by Sir William J. Pope, president of the Society of Chemical Industry of Great Britain, in an address de- livered recently in New York, before the international meeting of the British organization and the Ameri- can Chemical Society.
 Ut is safe to prophecy that the next great epoch of organic chemi- cal progress lies in the very near future and that it will lead us to laboratory methods of initiating with considerable fidelity the com plex chemical changes brought about in living matter by the utilization of low potential energy" he is quoted as saying.
 When we possess full working details concerning the plant-leaf pro- cess for converting carbon dioxide and water into formaldehyde and oxygen by utilizing the suns energy, when we can make indigo and uui- nine by the identical methods adopt ed by the plants, chemical technol- ogy will be an entirely different proposition from the one which it now represents" @> ~-- .-: ."~<.
 Further along in the address, which was entitled Chemistry and Life", Prof. Pope said:
 On all hands we are met by the demand and indeed by the expecta- ton that science will lift the curse of Adam from humanity. It is no part of my task to discuss philo- sophicaI questions which originated in the Garden of Eden, but 1t seems plain that modern science is called upon to find means for cur tailing the expenditure of such high potential forms of energy as human
 
 labor and mineral.
 The solution of this problem mus come fro mthe proper utilization of the radiant energy which comes 10 Us from the sun; we require efficient methods for transporting solar energy from the tropics for use in our more temperate chimes. It is perfectly possible that the scientific study of oil-bearing plants in tropical regions may lead to such improvements in yield and cost of production that vegetable oils will replace the ordinary fuels, coal and petroleum now used the world over"

SWIMMING THE CHANNEL


 Lowell, Mass, to swim the Englis channel on his fifth attempt, recalls the efforts of swimmers from all corners of the world to accomplish the feat.
 Only twice in history has the rest less stretch of water given way to the efforts of aquatic stars, In 1875 Captain Matthew Webb, an English man, crossed from Dover to Calais in 21 hours, B minutes. He was favored by light wind and a com paratively calm sea, actually swim ming about g miles.
 The distance across the channel at the narrowest point, Dover to Cape Gris Neg, a French headland in the Pas de Calais, is about 20 miles, but swimmers are compelled to zig-zag in combating the waves and tides.
 She second successful attempt to cross the channel was made on September s. 1911, by William T. Burgess, an Englishman by birth, but a naturalized Frenchman. Eff teen times previously he had at tempted to make the perilous swim. On the sixteenth he swan from South Foreland Dover, to LeChate- let. a little village two miles east of Cape Gris Neg, in P hours, 35 minutes. He covered about 50 miles.
 Burgess feat was considered even more wonderful than that of Captain Webb, in that he met with most ad- verse conditions. In mid-channel he was stung severely by jelly fish and became i'll and was ready to abandon the swim. When but a short dis tance off the French coast he met the ebbing tides and battled for three hours before reaching slack water.
 The two other men said to have accomplished the feat could not prove their claims Captain Davis Dalton, of New York, declared he swan the channel in August, 1890. covering 50 miles in 23 hours, 30 minutes. He claimed to have swan the entire distance on his. back, and 10 have been 50 blinded by salt water that his sight was impaired for months afterward. --.... ..."
 Sam Mahoney, of Revere Beach. Mass, asserted that he swan from Sangates, France to South Foreland, in September, 1908, but this was not proved. :....:. -..@.. "
 Jabez Wolfe, the veteran Eng fish swimmer, has made 21 unsuc- Cessful attempts to cross and is planning another. In Sept, 1908, he arrived within sight of the Calais pier but became i'll and was taken from the water. He had been in the water g hours.
 In August. 1908, James Mearns, the Scottish swimming champion, nearly lost his life in the swim. He was i'll and drowning when rescued by friends in mid-channel
 Annette Kellerman, a native born Australian, called the worlds great est woman swimmer, made several attempts without success. She now is citizen of the United States.
 Montagu Holbein, of England, has made seven attempts to cross. In 1908 he arrived within mile of Dover after swimming p hours, 21 minutes, giving up because of ex- haustion.
 Ross Pitonof, of Boston, went to England in 1912 with the avowed

producing section of the United
States, but being the principal WOO
market of the country it is the source
of much information of vital interest
to the wool growers of the West. The
New England letter of the First Ma
tional Bank of Poston, giving an ac-
count of Industrial conditions. con-
tains this remark in discussing the
wool situation
THE probable effect of the emer-
gency tariff appears to have been
fairly well discounted and no change
of any moment in the market is ex-
pected." The information is also
given that heavy foreign buying has
been already done ON American ac-
count and there have been heavy i'm
portations of clothing woods.
This statement emphasizes the in
jury done to the American wool in
dustry by the Democratic free-trade
policy, says communication from the
Republican Publicity Association.
This says 1t is estimated that there is
low on hand in the wooden stocks OF
the world a quantity amounting to
nearly a two years normal supply.
Naturally when there is a prospect of
the re-enactment of a protective tariff
law wool users make large importa-
lions of foreign woods which they can
buy for less than the cost of produc-
ton in the United States.
The Democratic party enacted the
law of 1913 over the protest of Repub-
licans. 1t enacted the law over the
protest of American wool growers.
During the war. which acted as an
embargo on importations and created
an abnormal market for wool prod
ucts, the American producer felt no
injury because of the lack of protec-
tion on his product But since the
was signed and the enor-
nous demand for wool for war pur-
poses ended, all of the cheap wool
countries have been ship
ping their surplus to the United States
thus not only cutting the price the
American producer could receive but
depriving him even of the opportunity
to sell his wool at any price.
The Democratic party not only de-
priyed the American grower of the adj
of an import tax on wool
but when the war was over and 1t
was apparent that there would be
flood of importations the majority of
Democrats in Congress opposed the
tariff bill and President
Wilson vetoed that measure, thus
postponing the time when a measure
of protection should be restored.
1t is admitted by all that the emer-
gency tariff law is not scientific
tariff measure. 1t does not attempt to
establish the system of protection
necessary for the upbuilding of all
American industry. 1t Is merely an

otherwise.
Nevada newspapers have also taken
up the subject of irrigation projects
and recently two of them, the Reno
Gazette and Carson City Appeal, de-
cided to settle details of the subject
The Gazette advocated advertising,
while the Appeal favors first getting
something to advertise.
We have something to advertise
something enormous-and that is un.
developed farm land. This, however.
cannot be developed by individuals be-
cause of prohibitive cost of securing
irrigating water. 1t Is matter that
demands governmental assistance.

Congressman to the West this sum
mer, between sessions. 1t is not pro
posed to make it a junket affair. or
merely a good time, but for the sole
purpose of acquainting legislators
with the possibilities of irrigation
projects. Right here in Humboldt
county Congressman could spend an
educational month and learn of
dozen feasible projects. However
that is not to be expected and is only
used as an instance. Humboldt county
men would be pleased If Congressman
would gain only an idea of the Owyhee
project.
Reno wants a method of advertising.
Carson wants irrigation projects de-
veloped so that we can honestly adj

Owyhee project and is willing to let

til we get It, Now comes the grand
opportunity to lay Nevada's case be-

If there's any chance Of getting the
Congressman to come West, Nevadans
must use every instrument likely to
induce them to come to this state.

attempt to secure at an early date pro-
lection for that ndustry-agricul-
ture-which was the first to suffer
the reaction from war conditions and
which will probably be found to suffer
the most severely. The news from
Boston contains the information that
THUS far very little wool has been
bought in the West" That was be-
fore recent buying here started. The
buying was then largely in Australia
and South America, while the Western
American woolgrower, or his banker.
held the American product in ware
house and creditors were consequently
unable to collect the obligations due
them from the grower of American
wool Thus Wes'e n growers were
finally forced, by banks and by neces'
sity, to meet fore gn prices and suffer
enormous losses because of having
paid far more for labor and supplies
than did the foreign grower.
All of this presents a deplorable
situation. What is true of the wool
industry is true, in varying degree, of
other American industries upon which
the prosperity of the United States
depends. The facts are stated not for
the purpose of painting an unpleasant
picture. but in order to impress upon
the minds of the people of the country
the important truth that this situa
ton is due almost entirely to the folly
of the Democratic party in placing the
United States on practically a free
trade basis so that American money is
sent abroad for the purchase of for
eign commodities at less than cost of
production at home. 1t will probably
be long, long time before the Ameri-
can people will forget the results of
eight years of Democratic rule. Ger
tainly the wool growers who are
going through the present crisis will
never forget.
