THE POST
NEWS LETTER

Lieut. Walter 0. Bowman from duty
at Fort Thomas, KY, has been ORDER
ed to join his company at the post.
Following is quoted from the Ar
my and Navy Journal of May 9th, '0S.
Very effectively does General Mac
Arthur expose the hypocrisy that was
not wholly dissociated from the pass
age of the anti-canteen law when he
says: Tt always has seemed odd to
me that when the bill abolishing the
sale of intoxicants at army posts and
ernment reservations were not includ-
ed in this bill. If it is unseemly fer
beer to be sold at army posts, why
should it not be just as bad for Whis-
key to be dispensed at Washington.
The principle is the same, it seems to
me odd, indeed but not surprising.
for consistency is not to be expected
in those who mistake zeal for intelli-
gence, noise for argument, and the
dreams of Missionaries for attested re-
suits. =

TINE TO ECON0MIZE
In MINING INDUSTRY

The American nation is fast becoming
one OF the most economical Of nations In
its industrial pursuits. This is the more
remarkable when we realize that we are
still long way from the exhaustion OF
those natural resources which were stored
up by Il bounteous Providence before CO.
lumbus discovered the continent AZ con-
trdsted with France, for instance, there is
very wide difference. France must be
economical: the United States is becom-
ing economical as matter OF principle.
Waste IS now regarded as a sin, and IL
is well that IL should be SO regarded.
There is no sense or reason in wasteful-
ness. Waste is characteristic of barbar-
ISM economy the banner Of cvilIzat ton.
Waste is the unrestrainrd use OF the force
that God has given usi economy the rec
ognition that God gave US this power as
a trust and that we arc to use II rightly
and with due regard to preserving the
beauty of this beautiful world and the
lives OF Gods lesser creatures, saws Min
ing Science.
In past periods the miner. although not
unm!ndful OF the duty Of economy has
had SO many difficulties to overcome that
he has been unable TO practice that de-
gree OF economy which IS desirable. Pio-
neering Is a strenuous task. The man
who must first discover and partially de-
yelop MS mine In the wilderness. must
then "go back east and get the money
from strangers for strange business in
a strange land, must then come back and
overcome the thousands OF obstacles which
beset the builder In a new and rough
country and do this probably with IN
sufficient capital. is one who NAV be
pardoned II he makes a log crib where
stone would better do. or quits the rich

COUNTRY IS USING
GOOD DEAL Of IRON
Hard Times Do Not Keep Steel
and Iron Men in Un-
certainty.

The general statements received as TO
the amount OF business IN the iron and
steel trades are probably less discour-
aging than they appear on their face. We
are told that plants are running TO bU
or 90 per cent OF normal or OF Ca
paclty," for instance. But the assumed
normal operation is the business done
az the height OF the boom of 1906 and
1907, which very far exceeded anything
on record. Ii the capacity Is taken as
the standard, 1t Includes the great ad-
ditions 10 plants made during the period
OF extraordinary activity. On either ba-
sig a level is established which is far
above anything known in previous years.
1t Is not intended to deny the existence
of depression, or to say that the fall I'm
production has not been serious. as COM
pared with 1907 and 1906: but the fact
remains that there is still large busi-
ness being done, and the country is alb
sorbing iron and steel products In large
quantities. Thus the production of pig
iron-thc base OF all the iron industries
in the first half OF 1905 was only g.
9lS,0Oi tons, a decrease of $3.50 0+0 tons,
OF 1907. Tho second half of the year
will probably show u considerable sain
over the first halfs but even II 1t should
not do so, and only duplicate the first
half. the total for the year would be
100000 tons. which is greater than
that Of any year prior 10 1901. In fact
there was no year up 10 1900 In which
the production of SO great Il quantity OF
iron would have been possible, That
the capacity for making iron had been
doubled In seven years was an indication
that production had Increased in greater
ratio than the ability Of the country
to absorb (which Is the real normal
level of production. Under the stress OF
speculation and extended credit that
point may be exceeded for year or two,
but only to be followed by a more or
less disastrous reaction.
The point Is that even in these present
hard times the country is using and alb
sorbing large quantities of iron and steel
far larger than would have been be-
leved possible twenty or even fifteen
years ago Moreover present production
Is really absorbed, for 1t has been brought
down 10 the actual level of demand. and
there has been no material accumua-
tion OF unsold stocks since the beginning
OF the mountaineering & Mining
Journal.
