WHAT WILL BECOME
OF THE HORSES

Sir John Macdonald is responsible
for the statement that in London, In
1900, there were 100000 horses, and
that today the number is 10000. In
constantly increasing ratio they have
given way to the automobile. And
the story that Sir John tells of Lon
don could be told with but slightly
variant figures of nearly every great
city in the world.
There are more than 100000 auto
mobiles licensed in the state OF New
York. In Massachusetts there are 20
200. A cab drawn by horse is today
rarity on the streets of New York
city, and here in Boston there seem
at least to be far less of them than OF
taxicabs. The growth of the automo-
bile industry may be gauged from the
fact that in New York an average of
$50 cars are licensed daily This, es
timating the average value of motor
car at but $1,000, means an invest
ment in automobiles of $1,500,000
week, or $7S,OO0,00O year.
In the great West, where the farm
ers are well used to machinery in
their work, the auto is appearing on
nearly every prosperous farm. 1t is
used to carry the family to the near
est town or to visit the neighbors, or
| it takes the place of horses for light
er errands. Every month, every week
every day, there is an increasing sub
stitution of the carriage that Is driv-
en- by power for that drawn by the
horse.
Does this mean the doom of the
horse, or will he always have his
place in our economy? Thinkers have
answered the question both ways,
with reasons that seem sound to sub
stantiate their opinions 1t seems not
an unreasonable prediction that with
in small span of years--perhaps ten
or twenty-five horse will have disap-
peared as beast of burden from the
city streets. His use in the country
may be expected 70 continue for some
time longer, but the day is likely to
come when few horses will be used
except by those who ride or drive for
pleasure, and who love a horse be-
cause he is an intelligent animal and
a faithful friend.-Boston Traveller.

ALAskA's COAL

Great as is Alaskan gold reserve
the small Seward peninsula alone pro
ducing annually, and promising for
many years to come, q sum equal to
the purchase price of Alaska--the ter
teritory's coal resource Ia of far great,
er value, albeit the latter will contrib
ute immensely to the production of
the former. Furthermore, Alaska's
stores of high-grade fuel cannot be
equalled in quality west Of the Rock
les; in fact to cite the opinion of the
geologist In charge of the Alaskan
work of the United States geological
survey, one must come east, even to
Pennsylvania, to find anthracite and
bituminous coal which will compare
In fuel value with that of Alaska.
These Goals are, therefore, the key to
the commercial situation on the Pa
cific coast, and they are even of high
national importance, since of all our
Pacific possessions, Alaska alone can
smokeless fuel.
That the coal reserve of Alaska is
as yet practically untouched is shown
by the statistics of only three or four
years ago, when Alaska's entire ex-
port of coal for year was but four
tons. Her shipment of gold for that
year amounted to Is tons.-World To
