ton Of our various mines are massed

the proportions of each group are ar

copper and petroleum.

Mineral :
Resources

One OF the ways which the Paris ex-
position will bring the United States
prominently to the attention Of the
civilized world and emphasize its
greatness above all other countries
will be by making conspicuous its
natural resources from the standpoint
Of mining. Among the exhibits in
the American department Of the expo
sition, occupying place of import
ance, is series of charts prepared for
the express purpose of illustrating the
inexhaustibie richrcss Of this county
in mineral ssposits and tie stage OF
development at which each of these
has now arrived. These charts can
not be scorned as specimens Of Amer
lean boastfn1ness or as evidence of
the tendency toward exaggeration,

movement as the only solution Of the
Philippine problem, and was confident
that the spread Of American ideas
through the Filipino schools would In
the end make good citizens of the
Filipinos. Gen. Otis was positively of
the opinion that the American forces
in the Philippines at present were suf-
fcient for all needs.

present army could not furnish

hold from the Ladrones; to do that
would require a force of no less than
100000 troops, and even then the task
would occupy many years. AS mat
ter of fact, he said, Spain had spent
several centuries in the effort to stamp
out the Ladrones in the Philippine
group, and there was reason to believe
that these brigands are scarcely more
numerous now than they we're during
the Spanish occupation, when the is
lands were nominally at peace with
Spain. Gen. Otis was confident, how
ever, that conditions would steadily
improve, and that little by little these
robber bands would be driven away.
Meanwhile he admitted that it was
often dangerous for Filipinos of the
better class, whose interests naturally
lay in American sovereignty, to admit
their preferences, for they were sub
ject in that case to assassination; to
the loss Of property, and to persecu-
ton, instigated by various elements
in the population to whom American
occupation was obnoxious.

Gen. Otis makes one state
ment in. particular which comes
as 9 distinct surprise, in view Of
the fact that he spent a year and q
half. in fighting the Filipinos, for he
declares that these same Eilipinos
were without question the very best
OF any Of the Asiatic races living on
the Pacific coast and the islands.
He paid high tribute to their ac-
qasitiveness, saying that the. young
ana old were alike anxious to learn
from the Americans and quick to do SO

for schools On the American plan was
Unsuitable. 1t has not been possible to
secure sufficient supply of Spanish
American text books, the market hav-
Ing been denuded Of such.
When the book-hungry Fllipinos
were told this, they begged for Ameri-
can school books, and declared that
their children could learn from them
even without the Spanish text and
translations. Gen. Otis found to his
establishment that such was the case.
and says that in the course of "a very
few months the Filipino children pick
up fair knowledge of English.
Even the old natives con the text

phrases in their minds. There was a
dearth Of teachers, too. Gen. Otis
often had recourse to the soldiers in
his ranks who knew a little Spanish,

that no colonies of ants are near

pasturage.

Social Longitude"

One Of Miss Mary E. Wilkins de-

of certain would-be leaders of social
reform in her village: II don't know
that think they are so much above
US as too far to one side. Sometimes
it is longitude and sometimes it is lat
itude that separates people," "This
is true says Gov. Roosevelt in the

whole country, as to those who would

his diocese who had pestered him q

Sheep in the Forest Reserve.


Secretary Wilson. of the Department
Of Agriculture. has received, COM
munication from Secretary Hitchcock,
Of the Department Of the Interior, ask
ing his aid in solving the problem Of
grazing in the western forest reserves.
The Division of Forestry will COM
mence Immediately an investigation
which will last several months. The
controversy over the alleged evil eff
fects Of sheep grazing has involved
western cattlemen, woolgrowers, and
farmers in bitter war for many
years. and the recent increase of fri
cation has added to the bitterness.
Government action in the matter has
been fastened by the establishment of
forest reserves In view Of the injury
to the forests in many sections from
overgrazing, all reserves except f:.,ose
IN Washington and Oregon, and the
Black Mesa Reserve, Ii Arizona. which
IL to be opened to 100000 sheep. at 3
cents head, are closed to sheep by an
order issued last May. This step has
raised storm of protest from wool
growers, who insist that no harm. is
done by grazing under proper restric-
tions. Many are reported to have
driven their herds into the mountains
last summer in defiance OF the law.
Against the sheep owners are ar
rayed the cattlemen and farmers, and
especially the irrigators. who claim
the practice means disaster to agricul-
ture in the lowlands. These argue that
sheep destroy the forest cover in the
mountains and thus diminish; the
water supply. They are said not only
to eat the young growth which is to
perpetuate the forest. but to tramp
down Sinnumerable seedlings and de-
