mand for New Forests.
B. H. Green of Monterey, Cal. has
sent out circular giving informa-
tion regarding the, Tin Can clubs
through whose beneficent activities
he expects TO see the country sup
piled with needed forests.
The attempts to cultivate tree
claims in the Dakotaes many years
ago were rather discouraging, says
the National Magazine, but Mr..
Green insists that he has been sue
cessful in planting tree seeds, puts
and cuttings in refuse tin cans, and
can now show an oak tree twenty
feet high only eight years old and
also a redwood tree grown from seed,
which is now fully thirty feet high
AMI only twelve years Of age.
Mr.. Green insists that a tomato
can with a fair sized hole punched
in the bottom and filed with good
earth is just the thing needed to
start a tree in and that if the earth
Is never allowed to become dry the
growth of the tree will be amazing.

A BOOST For THE WEST.
Method of UtiIizinE Ignite Coal for
Industrial Needs.
go. Paul Pi0Leer Presl

81. raul PloBeer Press.
Prof. Fernald. a mechanical engineer
who during several years has been making
fuel Investigations under the United States
geological survey. announces the develop
ment OF a gas engine that not only should
solve the smoke problem. but should be
OF great importance In the Industrial world
and Of lmmense value to the west. The
mechanism reduces the coal to gas in a
reducer that has no chimney and needs
none. The gas goes directly to the engine
and does the work Of steam in the ordinary
engine. A marine engine OF the gas type
has been designed up to 200 horsepower,
and is about to be installed upon a
freighter on the great lakes. 1t Is claimed
for the new engine that It not only does
away with smoke, an important consider
alton in war vessels as we'll as from a
sanitary standpoint in cities, but Il effects
a saving Of one-half in coal.
The government has been making its
experiments in the effort to Increase ef-
ficiency in the utilization OF fuel. As Il
uses $1O,Oo0,0OO worth Of coal In a year,
the problem is one Of present Importance
to the government. aside from consider,
ations concerning the diminishing supply
The tests made show that fuel OF such a
Wv $500 - -. ~ w NAAA&AEHn "
steam purposes may be economically con-
verted into producer gas and thu generate
enough power to make II OF high CONNER
clal value. 1t was found that slack, bone
coal and Ignite can be used to good ad-
vantage: that ignite produces In the gas
engine practically the results obtained
from the same volume Of the best bitumin-
Gus ccal when used in a steam engine.
The showing made by the gas engine not
only demonstrates that IT will save one
half on the higher grades OF fuel, but
adds TO our available supply OF fuel the
millions Of tons Of low grade coal that
have been considered comparatively use
less.
The new gas engine should make posi-
Bile a tremendous industrial development
In the northwest. There are millions Of
acres OF ignite in North Dakota and other
states as well as IN the Canadian north
w~est-there being more than 3.OO0.O0O acres
underlying public lands In this country Il
IL estimated. An engine that will utilize
this almost inexhaustible supply OF fuel
opens up practically unlimited opportuni-
ties. And Prof. Fernald says the engine
is no longer an experiment but an assured
fact, and predicts that within a few years
IL will be Installed on all the ships in our
navy and will revolutionize the industrial
world. An engine that will use effectively
the Ignite OF the Dakotas will mean more
10 those states than II v possible 10 estl-
mate at present.

TIE COMING TEST IN CUBA.

Governor Magoon has wisely re-
Trained from making n comment or
prediction as to the future effect Of
the elections just held in Cuba. He is
naturally gratified that the elections
passed off quietly and without any
hint OF disorder, but he realizes that
it is yet too early to forecast condi-
lions that may arise after the presi-
Dental election In the island on De-
cember /. The elections Just held were
for municipal and provincial offices
only, and furnish but a slight test of
the real sentiment of the Cubans.
In the preliminary contests the
friends of General Menocal, the con-
s~ervative candidate for president, APP
pear to have been in the lead. General
Zayas, an independent candidate, prom
ises to withdraw and throw his support
to General Gomez, the leader Of the
liberals. 1t is generally admitted that
the American influence has been dis
posed to favor Gomez. This lie. due to
the feeling that the Gomez followers
would be slow TO accept the rule OF
the conservatives while General Men
ocal, who is a rich planter and a rep
resentative of the business classes,
would probably acquiesce in the cleo
ton OF Gomez.
Best informed men on the Island DO
not hesitate to predict that another
revolution will be launched II Gomez
ia defeated in the December election.
He is one of the original insurgents
against Spanish rule and is exceedingly
popular, particularly in the interior
provinces. He is recognized as a man
of ability, and the hope is entertained
that his election would be followed by
the establishment OF a stable govern
ment. At the same time, the Menocal
followers are most deeply concerned
as they represent the business inter-
ests. and, while they have confidence
in he personal ability and integrity
of Gomez. they entertain some fear OF
his ability to hold his followers In
check. Should he be elected and be un-
able to restrain his supporters, an era
of extravaganza would follow which
might make Intervention by the United
States again imperative.
1t would appear. then. that what
ever the result Of the December cleo
ton may be, the prospects for Amer
lean withdrawal from active partici-
nation in Cuban affairs is still remote.
