falo as being in the far West
 comes in an editorial note in the Providence Journal, complaining that western newspapers. have been speaking of the floods in the neighborhood of PittSburg as in the East" Says the Journal: "The West is not as conecientious Iabout it's application of geograph- ical terms to the East as 1t should be. Eastern people no longer talk of out Vest They carefully specify, a little proud of the greatness of the land. The Western journals have spoken of the Eastern Ohio and Western Pennsylvania floods as a misfortune to the East In default of suggestion that the locality be called the near East which would hurt Pittsburg's feel ings, it might be reasonably safe for the West to refer to the gen. eral locality of the storm as the nearer East.
 So Piltsburg is not in the East |. Pittsburg lies closer to the Allan tic scaboard than Central Wash ington does to the Pacific ocean. Spokane, in this state, is about as far from inc Pacific ocean as Co., lumbus. O.. is from the Atlantic ocean. Yet everyone here and in the East thinks of Spokane as a Pacific coast city.
 Somehow, ideas about the gcog- raphy of this country mako slow progress back East. Six-scvcnths of lhis continent lies io inc west ward of the locality of the recent floods. And yet they are not in the FaSi. according io Eastern pa pcrS.
 The Providence Journal iS vcry probably not aware of the fact thai the states of lhiS continent which are geographically central arc such states as Kansas. Ne braska and the DakoIas, states inc larger portion of each of which lies nearer io inc Atlantic than to the Pacific. The eastern hordcr of Montana is further from the Pacific ocean than the west crn border of Illinois is from the Atlantic. If Montana is a west crn state, which no one attempts to dispute. why is not Illinois an Eastern state? People of the Pa cific coast so regard it.

While it is fact that this is a
minir G camp it is also true that the
new automobile boulevard from
mere to Denver will make this
whole section of beautiful noun
tain scenery accessible to the tour
ist and while we have many heavy
producing mines, we also have a
number of properties which give
promise OF great mineral wealth;
but because of the owners not
having available funds with
which to develop them, they are
not being operated.
Thomas j. Balmer, the highest
salaried man in the advertising
profession in the United States,
says that clean persistent adver.
tlsing pays and while we know
this to be fact, when such a rec.
ognized authority as Mr.. Balmer
makes this tatement, it seems to
be more firmly fixed upon our
minds.
Then why not avail ourselves
of the opportunity which is open
to us absolutely without cost and
place specimens of our ore in the
mineral collection in the Library
building where they will always
be on exhibition and where the
tourists and visiting public can
see what we have? This certainly
looks like clean, persistent ad
vertising."
