(By U. S. Press)

Washington, July commenting
on "business and financial conditions
in the United States as related to the
new tariff bill, a circular of the Gu
aranty Trust Company says in part:
The business stagnation Of today Is
not due, as some advocates Of protee-
tive high duties assert, to a flood Of
foreign goods competing with the pro-
duce Of our own fields and factories.
Moreover, in large part, QUIZ imports
are non-competitive goods, and it is
IN industries represented by some OF
these, such as coffee and rubber. -.
which stagnation is most pronounced
at the present tine. Although it is es-
timated that our export trade consti-
tutes but about ten per cent Of She
total trade of the country, is common
ly looked upon as the outlet for sur
plus productive capacity Of agriculture
transportation, ard manufacture. and
as a stabilizer of business.,A A healthy
and prosperous foreign trade has be
come of increased importance to a
great many Of our citizens. It is con
seouently of serious domestic concern
"While it is possible that a high
protective tariff on some articles mat
be proper, there is surely nothing in
onr economic situation which justifies
the adoption Of general tariff policy
that will, in effect, erect barrier
around our ports and isolate US com
mercially.'

OF THE GAS
INDUSTRY REINFORCED
(By U. s. Press)

Washington, July 29.-Industrial
records recently compiled show that
o33 gas companies operating in 14OO
communities have obtained a total of
1882, increases in rates. Additional
Increases in rates having been granted
where it was shown that the original
readjustment in rates of these concerns
proved insufficient.
Commenting on the industrial use of
gas, circular published by the Illi-
nois Committee on Public Utility in
formation, says:
< Artificial gas has-c come into wide
use in industry because of its superior
ity as fuel from the standpoints of
uniformity, concentration, ease of con
troll, clealiness, lack Of storage space
requirements, expense ef handling and
financing the supplv of which
combine to make most desirable
factory fuel.
1t is largs ased to melt metals
such as alsaum, babbitt, lead, brass,

core ns' wherein casting molds are
baked, have proven very economical.
Forging work is also a large consum-
er Of gas and porcelain enameling,
| brazing and japanning are other pro-
cesses wherein it is widely used. Gas
fired steam boilers for plating and
pressing, gas fired lumber kilns, china
kilns, coffee roasters, smoke houses
and candy furnaces are also in COM
mon use. There are industrial custo-
mers in Chicago who use as high rs
100000 cubic feet of gas monthly.

ARTES|AN WELL SHOWS
BIG INCREASE IN FLOW

One OF the most important devel-
opments to the ranching industry In
eastern Nevada was that OF the strik-
ing of artesian weter at the ranch
owned by II. l.. Anderson in the up
per end OF Spring valley, which oc-
Cured last week. The existence of
artesan water in Spring valley seems
to be now proven beyond any doubt.
At depth OF 900 feet Mr.. Ander-
son struck soft. warm water. The
well was sunk an additional distance
OF 100 feet, making a total depth of
600 feet. The last thirty-fve feet
was In hard brown sandstone and for
sixty-fiye feet above this the drill
passed through a pink clay, In which
the showing of water Increased
Driller Rube Kerr was on the drill
for the last 100 feet, and as 1t Is the
intention OF Mr. Anderson to drill an
other well on his property It was
thought advisable to take no chances
with the first well, so operations
were ceased and as the water spouted
up II was measured by the best
means at hand and according TO the
best figures available has a constant
flow Of $50 gallons per minute.
This amount of water Is sufficient
TO irrigate a considerable acreage.
and as there have been smaller wells
struck In the other end of the valley
II seems that water sufficient 10 irri-
gate all the land can be obtained by
proper work.
So confident Is DrIller Kerr thai
water can be found throughout the
valley that he makes the open propo-
sition To any raneher that he will do
the drilling II the rancher will board
him and furnish the equipment. In
the event he strikes a well then he
TO receive pay for his services at the
regular rate IL no water he will ask
no pay This certainly seems fair
and shows confidence.
When the enormous possibilities Of
artesian water are considered one be-
gins TO see miles of waste land today
being placed under cultivation, rails
ing profitable crops for the markets
and adding to the White Pine coun-
ty tayroil in enormous sums.
The county has two drilling outfits,
one OF which has not the entire equip
ment, but anyone interested will do
well to consult the board of county
commissioners. where they will find
men who have the interests OF the
whole county at heart and ready to
do anything within reason to help
develop the great resources and who
realize that the fertile lands OF such
valleys as Steptoe. Snake, White Riy
er and Spring mean untold values u
