WHOSE NAVY IS sEc0NDs
The Race a Close One Between
Germany and the United
Statess

Washington, Dec.-The Navy year
book for 1909, compiled by Pitman
Pulsifer, clerk of the Senate commits
tee on naval affairs, shows the race
for second place among the navies Of
the world to be still very close as be-
tween the United States and Ger
many.
OF fighting ships (battleships and
armored cruisers) built. building and
provided for, this country has forty
five and Germany forty-six. but the
aggregate tonnage for the United
States is 65s,24l as against 7S5, 6S7
for Germany. Germany superiority
in respect to all vessels is due largely
to her torpedo destroyers Of which
she has ninety-seven as against our
thirty-six. Germany also outnum-
bers us in the matter Of large gums,
the number being 208 as against $50.
Of the fighting vessels built and In
operation the American tonnage Is
70, 900 tons in excess Of that Of Ger
many. Great Britain is shown to
possess l04 fighting ships with a total
tonnage Of l,4SO,6S0. France has
forty-six fighting vessels, but her tom
mage is more than a hundred thou
sand tons less than, that of either the
United States or Germany. This diff
ference is due to the fact that an ex-
ceptionally large proportion Of her
ships are cruisers.
The American vessels are the only
ones carrying l3-inch guns and the
German vessels the only ones carry
ing ll-inch guns. All the big guns
on British ships are l2-inchers. Thir-
ty-two of our guns are of the l3-inch
caliber.
The year book also shows total
appropriation of $1,416, l38, 488 for
the construction Of the new navy
since it began in 1883. OF this
amount considerably more than one
third has been appropriated in the
last five years. The largest appro-
priation ever recorded was made last
year and was 1886, OS5, 199. The
largest appropriation prior to the
Spanish war was $3l, Sal, 1854 in 1901.

Engineer Declares the San Juan Field
to be Largest in the
World.

How many Ogden people know that
Utah has the largest oil field In the
world, and one which experts declare
viii within a very few years be the
most productive one of them all-ad
oil field which already has 16 produc-
ing wells. with not a single failure,
and yet none has reached below the
second of eight known oil sands?
Such a field is the San Juan. IL
southeastern Utah, where nature has
not only stored great basins of petrol
cum, OF the finest quality for refin-
ing, but has pointed the way so that
there need be no mistake about find
ing them.
While the facts In relation TO that
remarkable field have been related oc-
casionally in the press, Utah people
generally appear to have failed TO ap-
preciatc thier import Colonel \. G..
Ellis of Salt Lake City has been pound
ing away unaided in the san Juan
field for several years and has brought
in two or three OF the producing
wells. A syndicate of Ogden citizens
has done some work there. And that
is about the extent of what has been
done by Utah people To develop the
new field, the major portion of the
work accomplished having been done
by Colorado capitalists.
CalifornianS are now becoming In
tcrested-which means that the field
is likely TO be soon developed, The
CalifornianS understand oil Tney
know the difference between an ordin-
AIRY field and one of exceptional merit.
With such reports on the San Juan
field in their hands as that made for
California capitalists by II h. Peter
