Another Theory of the Flood.

A new theory of the flood has been
discovered in South Africa. Hydro
graphers investigating the waterways
of Uganda have found indications that
Lake Victoria and other central AT
rican lakes were at one time vast
inland seas, which little excess Of
rainfall would cause to overflow into
the lands to the north. The discovery
of primitive stone implements along
the old water levels prove these to
nave been within the human" period.

Osmiriduim in Tasmania.

Recent exploration and develop

rivers OF the western division of Tas-
mania, which is the sole producer on
a large scale of point metal osmirid-
ium. For the first half of 1920 the pro-

Secretary Fall Will Protect Coal

At a conference at the Interior De-
partment on June 7, called to consid-
er the pending bill of Senator Frey
linghuyssn, providing for the public
alton through the department OF COM
merce OF statistic of the coal indus
try, Secretary Fall expressed himself
as clearly in favor of guarding the
interests OF coal consumers.
There were present, Secretary
Hoover and Senators Freylnghuysen
and Calder, as well as representatives
of wholesale and retail coal mems
organizations and the coal producers.
]. A. Bradley, of the National Coal
Association said: There is no need
for further legislation. The coal men
are willing and anxious to cooperate
with the government and to furnish
any facts the government desires
They will work out this situation il
given a chance" Senator Freyline
huysen denied that his bill contem-
plated government interference in the
industry, saying that Congress intend
ed to see that the consumers inter-
ests were protected, preferably by CO.
operation.
Secretary Fall then stated: "Thc
government is already in the coal
mining business, through the Interior
Department which conducts extensive
operations, and sooner or later you
gentlemen must find yourselves eth
cr in cooperation or competition

WORLDS LARGEST DE-
POST OF ROCK SALT
PARTLY IN NEW MEXICO

Vast quantities OF rock salt lie
less than half a mile beneath the sur
face OF the earth in the United States.
In New York. Ohio, Michigan, Penn
,ylvania, West Virginia and other
states there are large deposits, but
the largest deposit in the United
States. and probably in the world, is
that which extends from northern
Kansas across the west end OF Okla
homa. the panhandle OF Texas, and
southeastern New Mexico to western
Texas. The area underlain by these
great Permian salt deposits is not far
from 10000 square miles, according
to the L. ). Geological Survey, De
partment OF the Interior. The limits
OF the deposit. especially to the north
west and southeast, have not been
ascertained. but in general the area
of thick salt extends fully $50 miles
from northeast to southwest, and is
so to 80 miles wide. The thickness
and the succession of the beds are
variable. but 700 feet is reported in
one hole. and in many places the ag-
gregate is more than 800 feet. On
the assumption OF an average thick
ness OF 200 feet of salt. the gross guam
tity in the area of 10000 square
miles Is so large. about $1,000 billion
tons. that the present needs OF the
United States (about 100000 tons a
YEAR, can be supplied for millions OF
years.

Senator Bursum Introduces Bill to
Protect Locators Of Oil and
Gas Lands

One of the latest bills introduced by
Senator Bursum is that TO protect
locators in good faith of oil and gas
lands who had not made discovery
thereon prior to February 25, 1920.
and their successors in Interest, and
extending the time for making such
discovery The bill reads as follows ::
"Be 1t Enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives OF the Unit
ed State of America in Congress AS
sembled, That in no case shall any
claim be held invalid, or patent be
denied. TO or for any lands located
prior to February Is, 1920, under the
mining laws of the United States,
containing petroleum, mineral oil or
gas, solely because OF the failure of
the locator or locators thereof, or hrs
or their heirs, successors or assigns
to make discovery of oil or gas there
on; but if such claim was. on Feb
ruary Is, 1920, in all otner respects
valid and regular, discovery may be
made thereon at any time within two
years from and after the passage of
this act, and in such event patent
therefor, not exceeding one hundred
and sixty acres in any one claim, shall
issue to the locator or locators, his
or their heirs, successors or assigns,
as in other cases; Provided however,
that such lands were not, at the date
OF the location thereof, withdrawn
from mineral entry"

RAILROADS DEPRECIATION
HAS BEEN DISALLOWED BY
STATE TAX COMMISSION

An important decision affecting the
assessed valuation OF railroad prop
critics has just been announced by
the state tax commission The new re-
solution passed by the commission re-
sends the order of the commission,
entered at the adjournment meeting
of the commission in February, un-
der which railroads were to be given
an allowance for depreciation. The
four railroads affected by the new re-
solution are the Fl Paso & South
western system, the Rock Island lines,
the Arizona & New Mexico and the
Santa Fe railroad, which are the only
main roads using the interstate com
merce commission valuation.
The first three roads make a stand
off under the new ruling. but a large
increase is entered against the Sam
ia Fe railroad. The value of its mo-
tive power and rolling stock is in
creasd from SO00O to SS6SoOOO
while its supplies are raised from
$4,000 to 81 10000
Since the amount of the increases
entered against the Santa Fe is 81
5000 there is a belief that the COM
pany will protest aginst the decision
of the tax commission through an
appeal to the supreme court.

tor Bursum, providing for Retirement
of Disabled Emergency Officers un-
der the same conditions as now pro-
vided for Officers of the Regular
Army who incurred physical disability
in line OF duty during the World war.
On June 4, 1920 law was passed pro-.
viding that all officers OF the Naval
Reserve force and temporary. offic-
ers of the Navy who have hereto
fore incurred or may hereafter incur
physical disabilities in line OF duty
shall be eligible for retirement under
the same conditions as now provided
by law for officers of the Regular
Navy who are retired for physical
disabilities in the line of duty, and
the testimony of ex-officers and those
from Walter Reed hospital show how
deeply they feel the injustice OF the
discrimination between the "Emerg-
ency" officer who gave up his bus
mess and risked his life the same as
the Regular Army officer. yet is

disabled Emergency officer the
same privileges and the same treat
ment and rights as are given to OF

that too much cannot be done for the

| The banks and business houses being
closed, it was impossible to get en-
ough adding machines to run up the
totals OF hits and errors.
Estancia got a lead in the first in
ming by scoring one earned run on
two hits. Santa Fe came back by
| scoring four runs on four hits and
some wretehed fielding.
Both pitchers then settled down to
real twirling, and it looked like the
| big crowd would have a chance to
see a iirst-class exhibition.
/ Ii was in the sixth lining that the
visitors blew up with a noise that jar
red the surrounding mountains. Mis-
cues flashed from infield to out and
back again. Weiss, first up for San
ia Fe. went to bat three times in
this inning. The kid chalking up the
runs on the scoreboard on the side
lines had to call for counsel and ex-
pert assistance in order TO jam IS runs
into one inning.

tancia and went well until the team
made the ballon ascension. With any

would have been worth the price. But
