Tag Sales Falling on

Tag sales by the commissioner of agri, culture for the five months ending with February show a falling off of $3S06. the total being $55,244, compared to s59,- 05O. 50 for the same time year ago. This Is taken to mean that there will be no more cotton thls year than last, if as much, for the reason that much of the fertilizers now sold go into other creps. However, the planting time Is here and the sales in March will go much further toward giving definite idea of the out look than any gone before.
 The figures on the books of Commission CT J A Wilkinson are as follows: For 1909-1o: October, $7s1 November, sl105 December, s2217; January. s21,878 .50: Feb ruary, s2e,2 .5o-total, S5,244 For 190s-09: October, sSS8; November, $499.50 Decem- ber, S2940; January. sl9,5S1; February, $35,- 14o-total, s50,050. 60. Difference, $3S06 50. It is also seen that the last year Febru- ary sales were well ahead of the same month this year. To get at the number of tons authorized to be sold by these tags one has to figure that there is 9o-cent tag on each ton of fertilizer sold in the state.

PROTECTION FOR COAL MINERS
Mine Owners Of England are Consid-

United Press Special.

Washington, August 6.-Owners
of coal mines in England are consid-
! ering 'ife-saving plans similar to
those that will be carried out by the
newly created bureau of mines in
this country. The scheme, Consul
Walter c. Hamm, at Hull reports, is
to establish rescue stations near
groups of mines.
1t is proposed in the Durham field
to establish station for the housing
of motors equipped with pump.
powerful as those of the largest IL
city fire department service, breath
ing helmets and other apparatus and
quarters for six or eight highly train
ed mon A liquid Air plant will also
be erected. Direct telephone coEnac-
ton will be arranged with all the
mines in Durham county, the most
distant could be reached in IA hour.
One method is to make use of :.
lend dress, to be supplied with fresh
air by means OF bellows, through 60
yards of armored tubing, and fitted
with telephones, 1t is thought that In
most cases 60 yardn vii. be sufficient
and it is proposed that each collie,y
should be equipped with one or moro
of these. To cope with cases where
longer distances than 60 yards from
respirable air might Lave to be dealt
with, the use of 'ae"olitl' helmets
is proposed supplied with sir in IL
quid form. There are no valves o.
complicated parts to get out of order,
and they can be used without any
special training A supply of these
would always be kept ready for use
at the central station.

INSPECTION OF NATIONAL PARKS
Information Is Desired for Making
Recommendations to Congress
for Park Improvements.
United Press Special.

Washington, August with I
| view to securing the information Of
| experts and dependable facts for rec
ommendation to congress regarding
necessary improvements Secretary
| Ballinger, of the interior department
has arranged for an inspection of
some of the national parks. The men
chosen for the work are Clement S.
Ucker, chief clerk OF the department,
and R. B. Marshall, chief geographnr
of the geological survey.
In connection with their visit to
Glacier National park, wonderland
of living glaciers and wild mountain
scenery reserved as a playground for
the people at the recent session OF
congress a question arose as to the
congress appropriated SIS 900 for
the Improvement of Glacier Park
by the construction and repair OF
roads and trails
The question was whether Uckcr
and Marshall could use part of that
appropriation in securing pack
train, guides, camp equipment, etc i.
and also in paying railroad fare and
Pullman and incidontais, not to OK
coed Sc day from Devils Lake,
North Dakota, to Glacier Park.
Tho problem was referred to
Comptroller of the Treasury Tread
we'll, whose decision on the eXpendi-
ture of government funds is final.
He answered that it is an administra-
tive question. If in carrying out the
order Of congress to construct and
repair roads aid trails it is nece$;-
Sary to first have an inspection, 90
that the work may be done to tire
best advantage, then the aforesaid
expenses of the inspectors can be
paid out of the SIS, 900 appropria-
ton.

400 Filpinos, 29S Europeans any
264 Asiatics. The rate of interest on
deposits is two and a half per cent
but the government reserves the
right to change the rate at the end
of any year.
The system has worked satisfae-
torily to all concerned The Phil
lippines were favored with postal
banks in advance of the states be
cause they were not obliged to await
action by congress. When the presi-
dent became convinced few years
ago that postal savings would be a
good thing for the Filipinos he Or
dcrel the system established and il
was dore. Congress postponed ac-
ton for years and it was not until
the closing hours of the last sess, OF
tina postal savings law was passed
The popularity of the law has
been proved by the great number of
letters from people asking that pos
tai savings banks be established n
their towns and from bankers asking
that a part Of the deposit funds be
placed with them. The trustees Of
the system. Secretary Franklin Mac
Veagh, of the treasury, Postmaster
General Frank H. Hitchcock and At
torney General Wickersham, have
full authority to decide where and
when postal banks shall be establish
ed They have decided upon nothing
yet except that the postoffice in this
city shall be one to receive deposits
In order that there may be demon
stration of the system under the
eyes of congress.
A committee of experts appointed
by the trustees are working out the
details of the system, which are
many, and it is probable matters
will be in such shape that the trus-
tees can take definite action IN the
fall.
