Fuel That Hungary Needs. Through the utilization of natural ' gas in Hungary and Siebenburgen. discovered shortly before the war, it is hoped that certain Hungarian towns and industrial districts may be en1 tirely independent of coal. The total natural gas found in Siebenburgen only is estimated at about 216.000.000,000 cubic meters (1 cubic meter j equaiirg 35.3 cubic feet). ? I I WAS ALARMED AT CONDITION i Wedgefield, S.

RICH BUT UNKOWN | Lower California Has Never j Attracted Settlers. Vsst Natural Resources Are Known j tn Rp Th*?re?Wa? R^ior+prl hv I the United States After the War With Mexico, s ? Romnntic Lower California again has ! come into prominence through the in- ; troduction in congress of a hill looking | to the purchase of that unique penin- j *ula. "Raja" California, rejected hy the United States after the war with Mexico as "the tail-end of an earthquake," ; though recognized as rich in natural i resources, Is least known, according to ! the few who have made a scientific study of the peninsula, of any area of similar size in the western hemisphere. Lower California, romantically j styled "the mother of California," has i fimired in moilprn historv for 400 vears. It was In 1527 that the Spanish captain J general. Fernando Cortez. sent one of Balboa's veteran?. Alvera de Saavedra, from Tehnantepec. on the west coast .of Mexico, with instructions to try to find a strait supposed at that time to form a link in a route from Mexico, or New Spain, as it was then known, to the newly discovered Spice islands, j known to later generations as the Philippines. Fron^Cortez' lime down to the present theVe have passed in review through the pajres of Lower California's ; history Spanish conquerors. Jesuits, i Dominicans and Franciscans, and plunderers from many lands; United States troops during the war with Mexico; filibusters, intent on settim? ; m? nn iiwlmienrlpnt ynvprnmpnf. and lastly. {lie contending factions for supremacy in Mexico's national adminis- ' j tration since the overthrow: of PorfiriC | Diaz as president. It was Diaz who bestowed on Lower California a title of "pobre Baja Cali- j fornia," descriptive of her condition in recent years and which translated is "Poor Lower California." Diaz' description fits the country just as well as to its topographical aspect, and in some other respects, for it is a milAO 1 Afi CT TTfl ^iriiuiouuc, iw uiiiuu^t >u?rf | lng in width from 30 to loO miles, and traversed throughout its length by an irregular range of barren mountains of volcanic origin, breaking off abruptly on the gulf side and rambling off in a series of low hills to the Pacific coast. It has been described by its most recent explorer as "a land great in its past and lean in its present A land where the rattlesnake and the sidewinder, the tarantula and the scorpion multiply, and where sickness is un known and five-score years no uncommon span of life. A land of strange contradictions." While a territorial state of Mexico, it nowhere touches other Mexican soil, being separated from the mainland by the waters of the Colorado river and the Gulf of California. In 1910 the population of the entire peninsula was given at 52.244. There is but one railroad in the country, aside from "wheezy" mine tramways, and that one, from Mexicali to Yuma, but 63 miies in length. The "caminos." or roads of the mission days, have fallen into a wretched state and in many places have been practically obliterated. The peninsula is rich in mineral wealth, at least one of its silver mines, j !n the southern district, having been m operated since 1748. Gold, silver, cop- ^ per, iron, coal, lead, gypsum and salt are found, and valuable marble, for building is everywhere abundant/ Min- ' ing experts agree that the mineral re- 1 sources have hardly been scratched.

Misfortune of a peculiar kind has ( followed the Kemp family, pioneers of the Imperial valley in Oregon and well known through the connection of ; the men with its development. Three of the Kemp brothers have each lost an arm within a year, the last to meet the misfortune being a soldier in the trenches in France during the j last days of the fighting. Just a year ago Harold Kemp's hand was caught in the "auger" of a cotton gin, into which his right arm was drawn and mangled so badly that i amputation was necessary. Two J months later Harley Kemp, a younger j hrnthpr lost his left arm in the same ! gin and in much the same manner. | Recently the news came from France 1 that a piece of sftell had struck F.
