PROJECTS TO DEVELOP
AUSTRALIAN WILDERNESS

WASHINGTON, W Jan. 5-Plans have
been set afoot IN Australia for the de
velopment of large portion of the
island continent which is now little
more than wilderness. According to
consular reports, the parliament of the
commonwealth has passed bill accept
ing from the state of South Australia
the territory of northern Australia.
This acceptance will mean the connec-
tion by railway of Port Darwin, the
port of the northern territory. with the
rail system of South Australia, involv-
ing an expenditure Of about $50,000,-
600
In northern Australia there is but a
scant population. The territory com
prises 523 500 square miles and has
only about 5000 inhabitants. Of which
two-thirds are Asiatics, Railway de-
velopment will be followed, it is ex-
pected, by the exploitation OF the re-
sources of the territory that now is
dormant. The territory is relied upon
as a fine field for the production of
rubber, the recent phenomenal ad
vances in the prices of that commodity
causing those interested In its produc-
tiou to take advantage of any region
promising profitable Weld 1t is
said that the only drawback the coun-
try offers to rubber culture is the fear
of white ants, which are a terrible
scourge, and TO cope with which some
means must be found.
Buffalo farming also, it is said, will
form one of the pursuits of the terri.
tory. About 5000 hides of these ami
mails arc now exported yearly from
Port Darwin.

lump and pea coal.
What A Consumer Says,
In this connection it might be re-
marked that wellknown citizen of
Salt Lake uses slack coal both in his
furnace aud in his range. He pur-
rbases paper sacks that hold five and
ten pounds. These sacks he fills with
slack coal. tying the sacks as if they
contained sugar or flour. These sacks
he throws into his furnace or range,
and when the paper sack is burned off
the package of slack is fused into
block, and is as good as lump coal. He
has done this for years, and this is how
he gets around the coal combine.
