THE ME
IS FAULTY
CLAIM THAT TWO HUNDRED Nil
LION TONS OF COAL ARE
WASTED ANNUALLY.
Coal Left as Pillars to Support Roof
Of Mine or Because of Inferior
Quality, only Best Part Of Supply
Being Removed from Many Beds
Large Part Is P~reventabIe.

Oficials of the United States geo.
fuel problem make the statement that
| 200, OOO, 900 tons of coal, enough to
supply the needs of the country for six
months, are being wasted every year
in the United States through improper
mining methods. This waste repre-
sents a loss of more than 5000, 600. 900,
for the coal is worth at least 81 a ton.
I'm our investigation we find that
in the mining operations of this coun'
try nearly one-half OF the total coai
supply is left underground said Mr.,
J.. A.. Holmes, chief of the technical
branch. "This coal is left a. pillars
to support the roof of the mine or be-
cause it is of inferior quality, only the
best part of the coal being removed
from many beds. The waste is also
due to the fact that the working out
of the lower beds of coal first in some
cases breaks and renders Impractical
BILE the subsequent mining Of the ada
cent higher coal beds.
GETTING Just the Cream.
I'VE are Swimming the cream oil
the natural resources of the country
We are using the best and cheapest
of our supplies. Each of the succeed
ing generations will obtain its needle !
general supply, but each will pay
higher prices for the reason that ow
ing to the increasing depth mining VIII
he continually more expensive and
more dangerous.
ut is believed that an increasingly
large part of this waste is preventable.
In most European coal producing coun-
tries coal waste has been reduced to
a minimum by the Introduction of i'm
proved methods of mining. In
couver B. c., l am told, SO per cent of
the coal is mined"
VIII Reduce the Waste.
The technologic branch of the geo.
logical survey is now engaged in IN
vestigations looking toward a reduc'
ton Of the waste in mining operations
end also to a better Utilization of the
coal that is mined. The success of
the government in the latter field is
tad n a bulletin just issued on the
Wort, of the United States fuel testing
plant at st. Louis, Mo. Goals from all
cvcl the country We're tested in the
steam engine and gas engine in order
t. determine theiI efficiency. The re
suits with the gas engine were ex-
tremely gratifying. The actual figures
fer the average from all GOALS were
l.57 pounds of coal burned TO produce
ore horsepower for AN hour in the
a. engine, and i.-5 pounds in the
steam engine. The best coal used
produced a horse power per nour in
the gas engine for less than one pound
of coal, while the steam engine used
PAL pounds, OF 2.43 times as much as
the gas engine.

So positive are the good effects fol

to refund the money if it fails to cure.
A 5O-cent box of Mona will do the
good the stomach needs, which is
simply to make it do its own~work.

William c. Howell, as administrator

asking permission TO settle a claim for
damages against the Union Pacific
Railroad company for $500. Leavitt
met his death by being crushed be-
tween two freight cars in the Ogden
yards November 10, 1907. AS there
seems to be some question as to the
liability of the railroad company, the
administrator asks leave Of the court
to accept $500 which was offered by
the company to compromise the ac-
ton.

CONTENTION
LOCAL VETERINARY SURGEON
TAKES EXCEPTIONS TO STATE
MENTs MADE BY WISCONSIN
Scouts the Idea That Cows Nav Be
Made Tuberoulous After Having
Been Given Tuberculin Test, and
Believes Badger State Man Was
Childish in Deductions He Drew.
Laramie. wyo., May c, 1908.

10y " a'Vo"
To the Editor of The Republican.
You a day or two ago printed an ex-
tract from the Algona (Ia.) Advance
which opposes the tuberculin test for
dairy cattle, The opposition is based
on two statements, both of them false
deductions from facts which the
writer lacked the necessary knowledge
to explain correctly. First, a Mr.
Bienjans had eighteen COWS com.
demned, and following them to the
point Of slaughter, where only one
was found to be diseased. AS Mr.
Bienjans had to follow the cattle, we
must presume that these cows We're
sent to market and slaughtered under
inspection.
A Delicate Task.
The tuberculin test is very deli
cate, and COWS will react with very
small tubercles. These are hard to
find, and meat inspection is not in
tended to detect them. The meat in
spector is on the lookout for such Il
degree of tuberculosis as will render
cooked meat unwholesome. The Unitel
States regulations recognize five diff
ferent degrees that may be passed un-
~observedly. Such a COW, for instance
as one that reacted here in January
would have passed the meat inspector,
even If he had found the tubercles in
the hurried examination he has to
make. These COWS are safe for
butcher purposes, but may at any mo-
ment become very dangerous in the
dairy.
Browns Deductions.
Secondly, a Mr.. w. L.. Brown of
'Oneonta, N. Y, is satisfied that tuber-
culin introduced into a perfectly heal
thy animal will produce tuberculosis.
He bought a valuable animal that had
undergone the tuberculin test. A few
months later this COW was taken sick,
and when killed was found to have
tuberculosis in the worst form.
OF course this COW was infected af-
ter having passed the test. Think Of
ID The great number of cows that
have become tuberculous without hav-
ing been tested at all; (2) The great
number of cows that have been tested
and have not become ~tuberculous, and
you will see the childishness of this
argument.
Danish Methods.
In fact, the Danish dairymen, who
are progressive, have voluntarily built
up herds of healthy cattle where so
per cent were tuberculous before by
the use of the tuberculin test coupled
with isolation, disinfection and COM
mon sense.
l have received the full report of
DR.. Theobald Smiths lecture. This was
sent you as Geographic news, but it
was delivered on June II of last year.
l will try shortly to give your readers
a synopsis of it, with comments.
Yours truly,
A. w. WHITEHOUSE.

CANVASBACK DUCKS
VAINLY SOUGHT
BY HUNTERS
Gloom Prevails on the Marshes
Because of Absence of
Choice Birds
BY Frank O'DonneH

The whereabouts of the large fiocks
of canvasback ducks and should be
found on the shooting grounds around
the bay and in the San Joaquin>yalley
is puzzling sportsmen just now. There
are no cans on the coast at Point
Reyes, where they were numerous for
time; very few fall to the guns of the
hunters on the Suisun marsh, and re-
ports from the vicinity of Firebaueh
and Los Banos say that they are none
too plentiful in that region Many
theories are advanced to explain the
comparative scarcity of the birds. Some
hunters say that they have either gone
far to the south in search of food
or have been driven out of the bay by
the game hogs" who hunt In launches
another explanation has 1t that the
fight from the north has not really
commenced, while some pessinistiY
sportsmen say that the birds are be-
coming extinct.
The last contention is rather exag-
gerated, but the supporters of this
theory assert that IN the breedine o
grounds in Alaska the game. laws are
not strictly enforced, and that the In
dians are allowed to gather eggs for
market the albumen being valuable for
manufacturing purposes. They also
