DEVEL 0PMENT AT HAND

A recent examination of the coal de-
posts of Colorado and Wyoming has
been made by DR.. John S. Newbury, the
geologist, in the interest of certain eastern
coal magnates says the Omaha Bee. The
report calls attention to the rich coal re-
sources which need only the investment
of capital for their full development. 1t
has often been asked why these great car
bon fields have been neglected so long.
1t is not difficult to give an answer.
Grasping railroads for years have kept
th7ir grip on a large area Of the coal
fields. Private enterprise and private
capital could not compete with monopo-
lies which controlled the transporta-
ton to and from the mines. In conse-
quence the the development of the min
eral of Colorado and Wyoming
las been held in check, while railroads
have grown fat by limiting tie supply and
fixing the price for coal. Competing rail
road lines now under construction will
soon raise the embargo on coal. With
improved transportation facilities and low
freight rates it will not take long FOR pri-
vate capital and enterprise to fully develop
the mineral resources of Wyoming and
Colorado.

money nor lands are asked from the

expressly provides that the Government
shall never be liable to the extent of a
single cent for the debts of the COM
pany. All that is asked from Congress
is simply charter. giving the company
power to act as a corporate body. The
Senate has already passed an act CIV
ing this power. and the matter is now
before the House. 1t is not political
scheme. Neither partisanship moi sec
tionalism is represented in it. A large
majority of the people of the country
are undoubtedly favorable to the en-
terprise. The vote in favor of it in the
Senate was thirty-six to fifteen against.
In the House, too, majority desire to
see the matter go through, although
the small minority opposing it have
been successful, by fllibustering, in
putting off its consideration from time
to time. An interoceanic ship canal
will have to be built on this Continent
some day in the near future, but no
other enterprise so favorable to the
interests of the United States as this is
can ever be projected. The House of
Representatives should, without delay,
grant charter to the Nicaragua Canal
COMPANY.
